Hi,

Given my nominal 2 man double skin tent comes in at a tad under a kilo, has bags of space and has a 10kmm waterproof head, apart from price, why should i even look at something like this. Weight Weenie i may be but it still needs to be fit for purpose!
Yes I understand exactly what you're saying.
Number one cost, I could literally buy anything I wanted tomorrow.
But I'm practical in the way that I have to consider how much I'm going to use it and how little I can get away with.
On my coast trip I managed with less than a kilo for a bivvy bag and Sleeping bag.
I was lucky with the bus shelters
I'm only intending to use it for just over a week on end to end trip in mid summer, and back again of course.
For my purposes I just need something that is quick to put up with a minimum floor space at the end of the day that I can crawl into.
I don't need to sit up or cook et cetera et cetera.
Years ago are used to backpack camping I would take everything but the kitchen sink.
Have a little bit more sense now, i'll just take what I need for the conditions and the weather.
I don't think I'm going to be that cold either, although I am expecting two or three nights where I will be close to comfort.
that sort of thing doesn't bother me that much.
If I wasn't wishing to put people off introducing them to camping then you would simply need to spend more money for a safety buffer and carry slightly more kit.
Is your double skin tent inner solid or part mesh?
I haven't ruled out and I'm quite happy to dig deeper and buy something better and more expensive of course, but I already have several tents 3 one man tents And many other two man and up.
For long trips and varying whether you would almost certainly need a 1 &1/2 to two man tent.
Footprint size Is quite important when you just stop and camp, I found that out many years ago solo camping with a two man tent, I have also struggled to find a flat spot for a single person as it got dark on rocky hilly ground.
Number one You need to be at a lie down on a flat piece of land the size of your body.
Number two, it needs to be bigger to be able to pitch correctly.
my style is normally to keep going till it gets dark or into the night, so finding a suitable spot is sometimes almost impossible.
I know that doesn't suit everybody but it's what I am used to and I quite like it to, Certainly it's most efficient for Getting the most miles in the day, for someone who doesn't sleep much anyway.
Titanium I guess are 4-6 grams?
Thanks foxy 
) It looks like the sort of place that I could live in.... 
It was August but i woke to frost/ice on the outer!
