Follow-up #camping #gear question!

Thanks again for the help. After some reflection on previous solo-camping with toddler I realise a key thing to yr round happiness is a better sleeping pad.

The high R-value ones we have are bulky. So I'm considering a strong somewhat "lightweight/compact" duo pad*.

Combined with a <2kg tent (Hubba 2p) I'm ok transporting this.

Any ideas / experiences with this setup?

Oh. Another question. Just curious. At the end of the last millennium I bought a little tent.

It wasn't super expensive nor amazing but I did use it all over Europe. It failed only because someone fell on it.

Does anyone recognise the brand?

Hi! Thanks so much for all your recommendations and thoughts!

I think our decision will come down to these very similar (price, weight, pack-size, quality of tent life) tents: MSR Elixir 2 and Big Agnes Blacktail 2

They're heavier and bulkier than I hoped, but angry-toddler-resilience and price are limits.

Alternatives are Big Agnes C Bar 2 and S2S Alto TR2 Plus

If I can pick your brain again: any positives or negatives on these?

Can you help find me a new tent for cycling & walking trips?

My current "compact & light" tent is 20yrs old. And last nights somewhat wet camping with toddler shows that it's beyond repair. Since the year 2k I've also got updated requirements (and budget!)...

Required:
-compact & light to transport (walking/cycling)
-fits one adult & one toddler
-somewhat affordable (subjective)

Nice to have:
-able to set up outside first
-freestanding
