Can’t get more simple than a pyramid tent! MSR Front Range, Big Agnes Gold Camp 5, Black Diamond 4p Mega Light, Seek Outside Cimarron…lots of options. Very strong in bad weather, while being lightweight. Very quick to setup once you get the hang of setting up the stakes in the correct places, as there is only a single pole (or you could even use a tree branch, if you happen to forget the pole. Which I of course have never done…) On trips without bugs you can choose to leave the mesh inner tent at home. The only downside is the lack of a vestibule for wet gear.
