- The 'Gossamer' from Eureka has been working very nicely for me as a
- one person tent. it's a little tube tent, which always makes other
- people feel sorry for you. you have to be able to run at least five
- stakes into the ground for it to work. i've been using it among other
- places during a hike through iceland. got a pretty ferocious storm ther
- but it stood up ok. rain never was a problem either. its low profile
- enough, so the wind can't attack it much. it's got an interior 'moscito
- net' with a rain fly on top of it. weight might be a bit over two pounds
- (i'm guessing, no scale).
