REI Co-op - Flash 2

Reminds me of the REI Flash 2, also 2 lbs Edit: misremembered, flash 2 is light but not that light. Also checked rei.com and it’s much more expensive than I remember

I’ll weigh mine, I could’ve sworn it was 2

Nope, you’re right, 3.75 in the bag, no way I’m getting that under 2. Must’ve been taking crazy pills.

You can get a used in good condition Z-pack duplex for $450 - 600, I bought mine on eBay for $550 and hiked 3000 miles with it, otherwise maybe with a kid the REI flash 2 it’s a complete tent and I just picked up the older brown model for $110 is a little over 2lb with trekking poles, also don’t know if it still is on sale but I also picked up the MSR front range for Person tarp for $200 Which has a huge footprint and is only 2lb!

Depending what you’re using it for! Do you go camping with your car? Or do you do backcountry hiking? If you’re gonna be carrying your tent you want to go for as lightweight as possible. Ounces really add up. I have an rei brand two person tent that’s super light and still spacious enough for two. If you won’t be carrying it on your back, you can go for more space, maybe a more heavy duty rain cover depending on your most common terrain. I would also find a tent that has its own footprint that can attach to the bottom. Saves on time and space when setting up. :)
