would this be a good tent for a weekend festival for one person? (I need to fly cross country with it so I need small/lightweight.)

I would think that it would be perfect for this use and if you are disappointed with its lack of luxuraries you can just tell yourself that it is only for the weekend. Have fun.

I have used this tent one time on a backpacking trip. I am 6'3 and BARELY fit laying down in it diagonally. It is a good tent I just wish it was a few inches longer. If youre 6 foot or less should be à much better fit. The case it comes in is fragile and my seams tore within 5 minutes of opening it. Just be careful with it and you should be fine. It doesn't weight much which is definitely a plus if you plan on carrying it. I would buy it again.

This tent is good for the money, but it is small. I love that it's light weight, but I do not like that at the bottom of the door it does not zip. If your on a budget and need something light weight for one person it's great, if your putting two in their and don't want to cuddle look into something bigger.

This will work for backpacking, but it is not ideal. I would look for aluminum poles, and a bit lighter weight if I was planning on serious backpacking. That said, my son is a boy scout, and they backpack and this is the tent he uses (One boy carries the fly and poles, hte other carries the groundcloth and tent - it stays packed in 2 small stuff sacks). He wants a lighter one but will need to buy it himself. I tried to get aluminum poles for this, but they would have to be custom made, and they would cost more than a newer lighter tent.

I have a queen sized double stack Coleman air mattress and it fits in with ease. Plus room to move around the bed and stand up fully,though I'm only 5'3", there's enough room for a 6ft person to also get around with ease. Lanterns can be placed on the floor or there's a small hook on the top for mini lanterns. Nothing too heavy though. There's like 2 extra feet of room on each side of the air mattress. I also use fans at festivals... In a normal tent you die in the heat, but with the rain flap off and a small fan the tent stays cool because of all the mesh and a good breeze. You won't regret buying this tent. I've used it more than I can count since I bought it last year it's roomy and tough, holds up in terrential winds and rain even half-assed steaked down.

Depends on size of the person, but 2 people, very tightly packed. Since this is an emergency tent, in an emergency situation you would be able to make it work.

I'm afraid I can help with this one. I have yet to use my tent. I bought it for my survival gear and haven't had the opportunity as yet to check it out. Sorry. Will do a follow up entry as soon as I do though.

The tent weighs around 3 1/2 pounds, and in my experience is quite light especially for the low price. As far as fitting in your hike pack it shouldn't be a problem, it packs down to a pretty small size. If you have anymore questions about the tent I would be happy to answer them.

It's a 4 person tenet but it also depends on how many duffle bags and packs you have with you and will be storing in the tent. As far as the mesh...yes it is ALL mess but the rain fly is strong and adds complete coverage if put together correctly. Definitely anchor down ALL loops with stakes and you can't go wrong! I love my tent!

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.

nope : it'll be just 5f higher that the outside temp with 2 people and no fly .. I've used this in all climates ..its a great tent..Used in in high 60's with the fly (it was promising rain) and no problems.. Go for It :-)

Its what I use mine for. It was my go to for a few years but I have since upgraded. This tent is still perfect for a single person (two if you really like each other) that just needs some basic shelter.

This definitely a tight 2 person tent. My wife and I used it for three weeks across the US. It's best as a one-man...or one-man and a dog!

I think it may be a bit large and may not withstand any weather you may get. Its more of an indoor/good weather tent. I would suggest a kennel-type shelter. Maybe look on craigslist for a used one.

I am not sure that it is only three pounds. I think it is an ok tent for fair weather backpacking. It is an average tent. Nothing special. It will fit three people comfortably without a lot of gear. But if you have a tarp to place under this tent, you will be adding a lot more weight. I hope this helps. But for the price, it is a good tent, but not the best for lightweight backpacking. There are a lot of ultra light backpacking tents available. I just found one at a thrift store brand new for $10.00.

I am 5 9 and 160lbs and I have slept in it with my pack behind my head but it's tight. It's a great tent for a mummy, super light, water proof and easy to set up but if your not comfortable changing lying down then you might want something a bit taller.

I'm sorry this won't be a direct answer to your question. The pack weight is pretty light, but the dimensions are approx. 2'x2'x2". This is not the kind of tent I would consider packing anywhere. it folds into a large disk shape that can be unwieldy to carry any distance.

This is a good tent, but if you are not backpacking and you want a tent that you sent up in the bed of your truck, I would recommend this one. Kamp-Rite Oversize Tent Cot. I have one and love it.Kamp-Rite Oversize Tent Cot

Hello, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. This little tent is extremely easy to set up and would work great for your motorcycle. The only little problem I saw with it was in cold weather. It does have a tendancy to sweat on the inside if you close it up. I would recommend it.
