I'm in the market for a new backpacking tent. I would like a single entrance tent. Weight isn't as much of an issue as packability is. My current tent is 8x22" packed which is just takes up a lot of space that could be used for other things. I am looking at Big Agnes Fly Creek 2, Terra Nova Solar Photon 2, and Big Agnes Seedhouse 2. Do any of you have any of these tents? My main concern after packability is durability, which makes me lean towards the Terra Nova. Are there other tents I should consider? edit: Should also note that I am 5'5" and my girlfriend is 5'3" so interior size isn't a huge issue The Slack Lagoon fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jul 2, 2013 |

How long have you had your Fly Creek for and do you use a groundcloth?

I took a WFR course last summer and I can say that I am very glad that I did. The information I learned there will be invaluable to me throughout my entire life, and I recommend to anyone that does a lot of backpacking/outdoor trips to look into it. On another note, thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions for a tent. I tried to get the Terra Nova but it was sold out so I ordered a Fly Creek 2. I think one of the main complaints people have (the tent isn't long enough) won't effect me because I am 5'5" and the girlfriend is 5'4". Will be testing it out in the white mountains in a few weeks.

I am looking at going on a weekend backpacking trip somewhere in the White Mountains. I have only ever gone to the Whites for day trips. Anyone have any suggestions for 2 night, 2.5 day trip? Peak bagging isn't required, but I'd like to go ~10-15 miles. I have a topo map. We'll be doing low impact LNT, and I was hoping to camp in an area where they allow camping in non established sites. Any areas I should focus on?
