Camping

@Bruce - true, but I can return it even after it's used for a year. Honestly, I'd like to avoid buying stuff right now.

@glatt - Amazon says 7 pounds. Honestly, it's not really the weight that worries me (I'm stronger than I seem

), it's the ease of carry. The tent isn't made to pack down small. It's long, fat and awkward in the case. Maybe a stuff sack would help. I have a duffel bag, but I don't know what the trail is like. I've asked in my hiking groups, though.

It's not until November, so I have some time to play around. Maybe I'll pack everything in the duffel and see how it does. I can walk around the local park. There's a .4 mile trail I can do twice to see if I can carry it.
