Advice on Ultralight tents (Seek Outside, Z packs, Hyperlite Mountain

[revyhunter]

Looking at changing my tent setup this year. Does anyone have experience with any of the following?

Seek Outside Eolus/Eolus UL

Seek Outside Lil' Bug Out

Seek Outside Cimarron UL

Z packs Duplex

Hyperlite Mountain Gear Ultamid 2

I mainly do backcountry hike-in hunts and am looking to drop some weight off my pack. Any other UL suggestions are welcome.

Tough to get but titanium goat was one the best options a few years ago, you can also look at oware tents, lucus gear, some might also know other options.

Main hunting buddy has a TiGoat 6.5, I have a Cimarron. The Cimarron weighs less and has more usable space, and is easier to pitch properly.

The Cimarron replaced my MSR Hubba Hubba’s (one HP, one NX). The weights are similar but the amount of usable space doesn’t even compare. The Cimarron is a fantastic shelter.

Would you use the cimmaron on an alpine sheep hunt in August? I have a cimmaron and a BA Copper spur ul1. My partner has a ul 2.
we are debating wether or not to use both tents or just go with the cimmaron. I haven’t use either one yet but have a Kifaru six man that I use for base camp and it performed nicely last year on the September Snowmaggeden last year.

Ive been using a Six Moon Design - Haven.
Floorless, trekking poles supported. Very similar to the Seek Eolus your looking at.
Weights a pound.

I use the Luxe Hexpeak XL tipi ... definitely a contender

I had a floorless shelter last year for august sheep hunt. I’m buying a shelter with a floor for this year.

Why is that? Just curious what your reasoning is as I debated both and ended up going with a floor.

Last year on top of a mountain the wind was blowing the rain right under the tent. I’m sure a lot of this was site selection but I want a tent that is bomber for this season. I want a tent that uses my body weight to hold it to the ground. Last year there was times below tree line where the floorless was better for sure but when we really needed shelter on the top of the mountain it didn’t work as well as I wanted.

Ok thanks.
