Not sure if this is the right section.
I am looking for a good ultralight tent that takes up a very small amount of room in my pack. I was looking at this tent- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdtaCCjCnWw
but the guy said it cost $300. Does anyone know a 1 person tent that costs $200 or less that is durable, light, and small?
Answer

Camping Gear Inventory?
Jackie Sma
In general, what do you carry when you are planning to go camping?
What kind of bag do you use, if any?
Which of these are the bare essentials (in your opinion)?
What do you have on you at all times (in case a camping opportunity comes up at the last minute)?
Is there any gear you'd like to have more portable and/or convenient?
Any other comments appreciated as well. :)
Answer
You can see the gear from Mount Elbert in my day pack.
I carry a Never Summer down sleeping bag rated for zero degrees. I always pack a down jacket for nights and emergencies. I have a Big Agnes Fly Creek tent. I have an MSR water filter. I have four water bottles attached to my backpack. I have a Big Agnes Dual Core sleeping pad. I am using an emergency blanket as a footprint to protect the bottom of my tent. I have food and a JetBoil backpacking stove. I am packed and ready to leave for the wilderness today.
In my pockets, I always carry a pocket knife and fire starter, tissues or lint packets, along with several bandages in my wallet. Although reception does not exist in many gulches, I carry a cell phone that usually functions above tree-line.
In my daypack, I have compression sacks that hold my down jacket, heat packs, windbreaker, and down mittens or lighter gloves. I carry a second fire starter and two headlamps with extra batteries. I pack trail snacks, such as cheese, nuts, and rice chips. Attached by carabiner, I have at least two water bottles, sunglasses, reading glasses, and global positioning system. On most hikes, I also carry a water filter.
