Practical advice and tips on backpacking tents
The general rule for backpacking tents is that they should weigh roughly 2.5 pounds per person. So, if you are carrying a 2 man tent it could weigh around 5 pounds.
If you’re sharing a tent, it’s often a good idea to split all your belongings by weight so the person carrying the tent isn’t weighed down too much.
To keep the weight as low as possible, choose trekking tents that use minimal material and very few tent poles.
When packing away your hiking tent, place it in the bottom of your backpack so you can reach the lighter essentials on the go without unpacking everything.
