Rick

Planning a tramping/walking trip or a hunting trip?

Is carrying the tent weight the problem or checked luggage weight?

My tent is rather heavy to carry by myself too, usually carrying the tent is split between two guys, by if on one's own, no real choice.

I think there are quite a lot of good safe, one man, lighter tents available now to choose from. Subject to actual user's recommendations/references on whether they provided the goods.

I know some guys cut back, use a mattress three-quarters the length of a full body one, other cut backs etc. Not for me, when the ground is icey, any body part not on the mattress is freezing. I don't like to cut back on tent, adequate mattress and sleeping bag, as bad nights sleep, mean a bad day's hunting the next day. Or worse in very cold, wet conditions.

BTW have a look/search for Gryphon's NZ hunting threads here on NE, from memory they used bivi bags only and slept in caves or overhangs ...
