Best one-man tent?

[JimmyC]

The GoLight Hex would be a good option.  It's super easy to use, pack, and can take some serious weather.  It would really shine out west.  I use the 3 man here in Michigan (with the "nest" during the summer" due to our bugs/sqeeters) and it works well.  They also have a new 5 man version.

I like a 8 by 10 wall tent when hunting alone. I can put it up alone, it will stand any weather and up to a 12" snow lode before shoveling it off. Handles a stove and you can cook inside. I have a shower made from a weed sprayer and a shower grate that I stand on ( a shower really feels great when it's snowing outside)

I've stayed in lots of different tents, my favorite is a canvas wall tent with 5 ft sidewalls. And no it don't leak in the rain and it's untreated canvas.

I like a tent that you can use a woodstove in - because you can dry wet clothes; and heat water and cook food in one- and I like canvas.
 I agree with Bjorn; a 3 man tent is a minimum for one man and his gear.
 And I second Roughcountry's thinking.
I have spent a month several - several times in an 8x10 wall tent with a sheepherders stove and a cot and pad and sleeping bag in a canvas sleeping bag cover. I can take on minus 35 degrees and be as happy as can be.
 Of course this is in part about how you hunt; if your tent is on your back everyday- well... that is different than having a camp near your vehicle; or taking one in on a pack animal (which I do).
 I do put a plastic tarp over mine so the snow and rain slip off.

Cabelas Alaknac tent is the finest non canvas tent I have ever been in. But when you buy one- remember that even horses have a tough time with a 90 pound tent. The 9x9 is sufficient and very worthy.

i second the hammock i got one from trunk road that has netting its just as good or better than my hennesy for a fraction of the price just tarp it like gingivitiskahn shows ounce you sleep in a hammock you wont go back to a tent i just wish i could hang mine in the house

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the input.  Sorry I wasn't too clear - nope, don't figure I'll be packing it in on my back & yeah, I figure a 3-man tent is really what I'll need.  But never really thought about the hammock & tarp angle.  Really sounds good for those early season hunts & long weekend fishing trips.
Thanks again,

Try a kodiak canvas tent.  It is very similar to a spring bar with a few improvements.
