Thinking about switching from a hammock to a solo tent after spending a few nights on an Exped mat this winter. Anyone out there have one the want to get rid of? I'd like to keep the cost around 100$.

I have two solo tents that I would sell for $50 each, plus shipping. These are older tents but in good shape. I have several pics of each but for now I have just posted one pic of each to see if there is interest.
One is a North Face Tadpole NHP, the other a Sierra Designs, not sure of the model. The Sierra Designs needs cleaning on bottom of tent and rain fly, but both tents are sound with no defects.

Just to clarify - Do you mean a true one person tent, or a two person that you intend to use by yourself? When I have solo camped I tend to go the 2 person tent route to get a bit of extra room. Granted, I have not gone the BWCA solo route yet, so weight has not been an issue to this point.

Plex, Thank you for the offer. Being more "experienced" tents what condition are the seams and fly in? The price is right but would either of these hold up in a all day soaker?

Bfurlow, Im looking for a true one man. I currently sleep in a Warbonnet Black but have grown a little tired of the constant fiddle factor. My group is going to be moving more ofter this year and I;m looking to be able to just throw a tent down and be done with it.


I guess I wouldn't turn down a 2 man if the right deal came along but for now its just a search for a tiny fortress of solitude.

The seams are all in good condition, zippers work fine. Never been in an all day soaker in either of them. They both have good rain fly's shown below. I have more pics of the tents if you would like a better look, I can email them to you.

No pic's handy but I have a Sierra Designs Light year in VGC that I'd be willing to part with. Search it out and if you are interested then get back to me.

Sorry, these are both sold.
