This is the solo tent to recommend before a single-wall tarp tent. You still need two poles and stakes. Pitch it at home. If your camps are platforms, buy a freestanding solo instead and accept the weight.

Who should buy it. Solo backpackers who already carry trekking poles.

Best for. Solo hikers with poles and stakeable ground

Standout limitation. Not freestanding
