Pitching a tent

[batskeets]

Hey dudes. It occurs to me that, in preparation for the Hood Canal trip, I should stop procrastinating and actually buy my own tent. But, since I only really need a single-occupancy tent, I'd also like to kill two birds with one stone by getting a tent that I could use for backpacking at a later date.

SO: can you recommend an inexpensive, compact-and-lightweight tent that would work well in a backpacking context? Or maybe a location in Portland where I could acquire one?

Gracias!

Next Adventure. If you haven't gone before, tell them it's your first time when you check out. They also have used stuff in the basement, and as mentioned before, it's less expensive than REI.
