Budget backpacking tent

I second the Sierra Design Flashlight 2. It’s a full tent especially if you are on the larger / taller side. Hard to beat for under 4 lbs. Personally not a fan of floor-less to save weight unless you need a stove. You can find them on sale for under $200

I am sold on the Durston X-Mid but as I am waiting for the new models I found the Naturehike Mongar Ul 1P on sale at Anazon for $74 bucks. Granted it's a "used-very good" return but I figured for that price it's worth setting up in the yard to find out. It's a pretty impressive and lightweight tent for $150 new, especially how the vestibule opens up to an awning. Good call, thanks!

Yes, the Gen 2 with the vestibule is a nice feature! If I didn't enjoy the space in the 2P tent, I would definitely pick up the 1P tent as well

I use a Alps Lynx 2 that now costs around 150 on Amazon. I've had it 3 or 4 years with no issue. Probably have set up/tore down at least 30 times. But at 5 3/4 lbs it barely can be considered light.
