    Tent?

    Does anyone ever post tents on HF? or is that sacrilege?

    I am looking for a 2 person tent (very light, like 2 lbs) so that I can start overnighting with just myself and 7yo son overnight.

    He is not ready for a hammock yet.

    Where is another good place to search? (besides ebay and craigslist)

    Tents pop up occasionally but not often. You can also check backpackinglight.com

    There have been about half a dozen in the past month, and I am pretty sure there are still some unsold. You should browse through, you will probably find what you want.

    I have a couple I may be persuaded to part with. One is a Mountain Hardware 2 person, 3 season.

    The other is a Kelty IIRC 3 person, 3 season. Both have only been used a few times. I think I have footprints for both as well.

    I am looking to keep the load pretty light since I will be carrying most of the gear for both of us, so I think that the three person would be too much weight.
    Which MH version is it?

    You can upgrade your tarp to a Warbonnet Superfly for your hammock and also use it over your Net Tent.

    I have a Hubba Hubba that is brand new. Got a deal on it thinking I would use for my son's scout trips and ended up not using it. Its the version with the Gear Shed which is optional to take with you. Here's a link...

    http://www.rei.com/product/868771/ms...seout#specsTab

    Note that the specs are for the HH tent only, the gear shed weighs about 2 lbs. I purchased with a 20% off coupon for around $290 (incl tax). I'd sell for $275 shipped. Like I said, this is brand new, put it together once at home just to inspect.

    I've got a new/unused MSR Twin Brothers tarp tent with sod skirt/snow flaps ( also big enough to hang most GE hammocks in). $400 USD Paypal gift shipped CONUS. PM if interested.
