NEMO Equipment - Switch 2P

+1 for the Nemo Switch

I strap my nemo switch on the bottom of my pack. I love that tent, to me it's worth the weight and space.

For river trips where the boat is carrying the load rather than me carrying it, I use a Nemo Switch 2p. The tent has a high height, letting me use a cot inside it for sleeping, and is tall enough to sit in in a backpacking chair when its rainy or buggy out. I can set it up sans fly for buggy nights, or sans inner tent if I just want shade. Its got a lot of versatility for different setups. Fabric is more durable than typical ultralight fabric. While its heavier than I would carry backpacking, its still compact and light enough to carry by boat. For car camping, I sleep inside my car, but I know a lot of people like the popup tents like the gazelles. These are more bulky than you could carry by boat but if you're car based, the extra conveniences for setup is nice.

Nemo makes fantastic products. I have their 2P tent which is perfect for me solo (6'4" 225lbs) and I can squeeze in a gal with me though there is usually some overlap with the sleeping pads. I've sent it in for repairs once and they did a great job and even found some things I hadn't noticed they needed fixed.
