Recommend a light 1 person backpack tent pls.

[WVELK]

I am looking for a light one person tent to take on a sheep hunt this year. I am looking at Stone Glacier, Kuiu and Hilleberg. If you have a go to favorite for this type of hunting, please let me know the pros and cons. I have read a lot on line here and other forums, but seems like new threads get new people to chime in. So thanks in advance.

I've only done one sheep hunt in AK, but I have hunted in AK a fair bit. It seems like you're looking at freestanding shelters. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, and this is not me trying to push one of our tents, but I would consider a non-freestanding tent just for weight and space savings. The weight difference is substantial, and any time I'm backpack hunting in AK it's what I've taken on every hunt in every part of the state. I'm also jealous you're going sheep hunting! Best of luck.
