I had trouble sleeping in my Eureka Backcountry one and two man tents because they only had one door. The ventilation wasn't good enough nor was the view to the outside. I got another side entry rectangular dome with doors on both sides and I sleep much better.
The side entry feature is important because with end entry tents all I see is tent when I lie in them.
I have also noticed that I sleep better in larger tents than smaller tents so no more one man tents for me.
I'm sleeping under a tarp for my next tour. I'm pitching it as an a-frame using hiking poles. The canopy is 12x10 and the ground sheet is 8x10.
80sq ft verses 40sq ft for my tent yet the weight is about the same. Comfortwise there's no comparison.
I'll hang an Off Clip-On over my head for mosquito protection.
