In 2018 I did week on Great Divide using my 1970ish Sierra Designs tent - a 2 man, 4 seasons(i think), ~6lb tent. I didn’t want to invest in a new tent until I determined whether or not my 65 year old self still enjoyed camping. I determined I did and did another week on the Great Divide in July, again with my 40+ year old tent. I found I couldn't
save meaningful (to me) weight unless I went UL and/or 1 man. Didn’t want to go 1 man and, not being an ultra careful sort, decided UL was not a good choice for me. Tent I had was good for 1 week last year and another week this year. Maybe if I get out for more than a couple weeks I’ll look again for a new tent.
