It isn't too heavy, but when the oil is added it is heavier & not altogether leak-proof for back-packing. It does provide a nice, fine oil spray, though.

Yes, this is a packable item. We packed it to take to up north for fishing. We use it to spray the grill grates for cooking.

It's 6.75 pounds , personally I use a pack wheel so I carry it no problem but it's on a wheel cart. It depends on how strong you are and how much is already in your backpack, for me it would be too heavy with all the other gear i carry. However this tent is great, perfect size for one person, with gear. The best gear i have found for just hiking with a pack is a hammock. Good luck my friend

Actually it's very lightweight. I enjoy that about this product. I don't believe I would be qualified to answer about your travel needs, I would only be guessing.

Haven't used it for camping but it is pretty heavy combo if you are going to be hiking and camping.

I'd say just a few pounds, 3-4. It's more awkward shaped than weighty. If you are taking it camping no problem but I doubt you would want to be backpacking it. Ours stays in the camper and we LOVE it.

It's not much more than a pound, but it's not going to compact that small. If you were thinking of it for backpacking, it's a great product but a bit big for that purpose.

It is pretty light weight. It's designed to be light and packable. I don't think it has the support for something that large. You could squeeze it in, but I think it could get damaged. It's more for a day trip where you might carry a bottle of water, some snacks, and a jacket or sweater.

I would say yes. It's light and it has "back-pack" straps on the back and it's light.

I carried it up a steep hill when we used it and it was light enough to carry in the bag it came in that way. Not sure how well it'd be in a backpack but you could probably do it though it might be awkward. I was surprised at how roomy it was with 2 people yet packed down rather small. It has several internal pockets inside too which was really nice since we camped out in the pouring rain and I was worried about things getting wet. With that said, we were very dry during the night :)

weight is fine but cumbersome to backpack. they make backpack-friendly French presses for camping which are available at outdoor stores. I use this for the home and it does not leave the premises. good luck.

Tent is great for backpacking (which is only what I use it for. I have a bigger one for car camping). It only weights about 3 lbs and I normally roll it up inside my foam pad.

Actually its pretty light. I carry mine around all the time and it isn't heavy at all!

It is definitely NOT as portable as a collapsible camp chair, in a bag. And, it is a good deal heavier. But worlds more comfortable!!!! Imagine the chair in the photo completely pushed together; that is as small as it will get.

Yes, this is super light and compactable, folds down to the size of a garbage can lid. I wouldn't carry anything heavy in it, because although it's waterproof and zips up, it's thin.

I don't know because we haven't used it yet. It a nice quality and would be good for fall or spring camping. I wouldn't use it for extreme temperatures. I think it should be good for backpacking.

I love the bag. It will definitely keep you warm and cozy. I haven't used mine for backpacking only car to campsite tent camping. I typically take a lightweight hammock and thermal blanket rolled up in my sleeping pad when backpacking.

It's light if you're holding it for a short while. But it's fairly heavy duty, as it has withstood numerous ugly rainstorms (I use it to cover my firewood stacks with and have it bolted to them). I would feel safe placing one with my gear to hike for only a couple of miles.
