Zach, we use one of the larger Tarptents, (Rainbow?) Our use is mostly for canoe trips so we're not overly weight conscious. We have had very good luck with the tent. It is durable, waterproof, & spacious. But, there is a learning curve in setting it up, because it must be taut to be watertight. Also, the poles they supply are way to flexible; you absolutely need a pair if treking poles to get this tent to work reliably. If you buy it plan on taking some time practicing in the back yard, but once you have mastered it, the tent goes up fast and secure.
