This Backpacking Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Extremely Simple and Durable
I bought this tent for conservation work, which means that I spend about 50% of my time living in it. I bought it because it had excellent reviews, was simple, was economical but not the cheapest quality. I have been extremely satisfied with it--love it-- and if I had to buy another tent, I would turn around and buy the exact same model. Many of the people I work with have expensive one person or backcountry tents. I find it difficult to spend alot of money on equipment that I fear may be destroyed quickly because of the sheer amount of use and abuse it gets. While they spend $200-250 I have gotten along extremely happily on a tent that cost only $90.

The thing that has made me happiest is that it is not heavy for it's size. Although it is technically not a backcountry tent, it more than suffices for the purpose because it is light. If you were to compare similar tents and their weights, I believe it would be difficult to find a more durable tent for the cost without...

Quality low-cost ultralight tent!
First, let me state that I've been camping since the late 70s, and I've used a variety of tents, so I'm not just blowing smoke with this review. This comes from a lot of experience, but also be aware that my needs and style may be different than yours, and your mileage may vary. That being said, I am EXTREMELY impressed with the Kelty Grand Mesa 2 and its capabilities. This makes a fantastic low-cost solution for 3-season lightweight backpacking. A word of caution, however: just like every other manufacturer, Kelty is optimistic in their weight specifications. Trail weight is definitely more than 4 pounds. With everything it comes with from the factory, it was close to 5 pounds. Still not a huge amount of weight, but be aware that it will weigh about 2/3 of a pound more than specified. For us backpackers, every ounce counts. I removed the stuff sacks for poles and stakes/guy lines, upgraded the cheap factory stakes (a MUST), changed the guylines to reflective ones (a no-brainer) and...
