 >gotta get the $1300 mid-4 from HMG
I went the two 2-person tent route, but I do want a TT Hogback as well.
$560 for a 4lb tent with 86”x86” floor isn’t so bad.
I would only use it for 3 people tho, I want a full 100” for 4 people

 63 oz is pushing a Papa Hubba, hardly seems worth it.

 In fairness I'd had a coupla road sodas and forgot how much the PH weighed.

You get used to the tent inner being wet in the rain though.

 Your 8lb alternative sir.
Make sure you only use it in clear weather and under 70*F or you’re fucked

 if im camping i want multiple room tent with all the fixins 
 Full on Jap level glamping would be cool if you were gonna be there for a full weekend. 
 Wtf is that, when you dress up like samurai and hit the woods? 
 If four pounds was that big of a deal, I'd watch my diet better. 
 4 pounds on a woman is the difference between normalicy and an eating disorder that will eventually take her life 
 Is Eugenia the ideal backpacking gf? 
 i dont know but a lot of people think shes gross but i would 
 I worry for her, but I'd totally let her sit atop my backpack as we travel the woods. 
 8lbs for one item is alot if you’re backpackin, but that’s partly why it’s not a backpacking tent.
My pack was already 21lbs without food or water, and that’s with a 2lb 10oz 2-person tent.
I can imagine adding adding a tent that’s 2 additional lbs, but not 5 additional lbs.

 The kids can carry their own fucking tent. 
 Kids carry tent. Dad carries eight pounds of snacks. 
 and 30 pounds of beer
