Righto I will buy a footprint. My pack is getting heavier and heavier! I have a Erberlestock pack that I could live out of for 4 days with the gear I have now but used a hootchie instead of a tent and its the smallest pack they make I think.

I've got a Hubba one man and yes it weighs about 1.4 kg from memory.
Used it on a wet weekend on the west coast and it was fine, but you need a ground sheet under the tub.
My buddy was under a tarp and looked miserable

Dave.

If your stupid enough or unfortunate enough to have to pitch it where water may run round/ under tent does that thin floor keep it out?

Get the footprint R93. You can pitch the footprint and fly only (no inner) make a great quick shelter. The fly and footprint combo is so light I even carry it in a daypack if the forecast looks dodgy. Also good for summer camping unless you go to a sandfly spot...

I will, thanks mate. I just cant decide on the Hubba or Hubba x 2. I like whipping up to the tussock just for a night here and there. The Hubba may suit me better that way.

I got a Hubba HP.

175 cm tall, works for me, space between the inner and fly for gear... If it is only going to be you in the tent, I'd get the single, unless you are the size of a AB front rower

The only thing me and an AB front rower share is intelligence. Yeah I just want one for me. Have other tents if I want to spoon.
I may get the HP as well. Cheers.

I bought a new MontBell StellaRidge II recently... haven't had it out yet.. But its light, genuine alpine tent and with footprint weighs bout 1.7kg... 2 man small vestibule..

check out iclimb.co.nz

stronger tent than the MSR in serious conditions... selling my MSR ZOid 1.... which is almost as heavy.. Will take the MB everywhere or just the fly and footprint in the summer.. extra room will be great..

Shit thats light for a 2 man. Cheapish as well!

$730 ?

Yeah I see that Andrew. I looked at the wrong price. Still thats about 3 Aussie dollars

Maybe worth a look. Nothing wrong with having an extra bit of room.

Yeah had a pretty serious look at Hubbas.. it is good kit.. but liked this better... I have had it pitched but no use yet...
Japanese alpine brand... make some nice kit..
