TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.tent

Hi Jude, I realize you are very new to the forum. I have moved your topic to this equipment forum. If you search through the posts you will find a number that deal with single person tents. Click that link to see my search or try your own. The search box is up in the top right corner. Good luck!

A few points that will help are :
What do you consider lightweight?
What is your size ?
Do you use a thin (1-2.5 cm)or thick (7-9cm) mat ?
Do you like a lot of space around you or not?
Are you familiar with setting up tents?
Where and when will you hike ? (snow,wind,heavy rain, exposed areas or "3 season" sheltered areas...)
Are you allergic to any brand or country of origin?
Do you need/prefer a separate vestibule?
Is one wall OK or do you like two walls?
(that should start you off)
BTW, I will not comment unless you just need figures rather than a "recommendation".

If you're interested, I may have a Hilleberg Akto for sale. As new condition, only been pitched fourteen nights.
