Go with the lighter of the two. I have a 1p Tiger Wall UL and it’s been my go to for the last 5 years for 90% of my trips thought the season where I am sleeping solo m. Love this tent. I’m 5,10 and I often wish it were longer. My pad hits the bottom of the tent when I’m all set up and my legs touch the bottom when I straighten them out. I can see why you’d be looking at the 2P. Added the Copper Spur 2p to my tents last year. It has a few other features. Great for trips where I need to share a tent and can split carrying it between two people. I’d go with the lightest version of the Tiger Wall you can afford.

Copper Spur is free standing. Tiger wall is semi free standing. Here is a pic of my 2 BA CS UL1 tents with no stakes because of the rocky terrain taken in July 2025 near Lyell Glacier in Yosemite https://imgur.com/a/BEWXfiz

I own both of those tents. I know the difference.

I have the tiger wall ul 1 and it has been great. I did rip one of the cables in high wind, but the rest of it hung on and no damage to the actual tent fabric or poles. That’s ok with me!

We were always n our own tent, while mom and dad got the camper on the back of the pickup truck. We never thought anything of it until it snowed one October - heavy - and the tent collapsed on us. Terrifying, and parents could hear us screaming because of the deadening properties of the snow. It’s a miracle. I still go camping. I love that one person tent shown in the OP. I have a big Agnes one person Tiger wall that I bought used for about 200 bucks. There’s another 1+ that I want desperately, but it’s sold out.

I sold my bivvy after a pretty miserable experience in the UP in some hot and humid conditions last summer. Used a single person Big Agnes tent in hot and humid conditions in PR recently. Much better camping experience. Worth the extra pound and packability issues IMO.
