Weight is cheap when cut up between two hikers – The Half Dome weighs 4 lbs. 11.5 oz. with the entire included elements (tent physique, rainfly, poles, footprint, stuff sacks, stakes, restore package), and has a minimal weight of three lbs. 15 oz. (tent physique, poles, and fly solely).
We suppose the true weight most backpackers will keep it up path sits nearer to 4 lbs. 4 oz. since most will need to carry the stakes for strong construction however would possibly choose to go away the footprint behind.
When cut up between two hikers, that would depart every carrying simply over two kilos. Many solo hikers will carry that a lot weight for a one individual tent (or a roomier ultralight two-person tent), so the burden is cheap when seen via that lens.
