What tents can be put up by one person?Īll one-man tents can be put up by one person, as can many bigger tents. Most one-man tents are comprised of a waterproof outer tent with guy lines for tensioning, a breathable inner tent (usually with an in-built groundsheet), a set of poles and a set of pegs for pitching. You'll want a design that is easy to pitch and pack away. As a benchmark, 2000-3000 HH is average for tents aimed at use in the UK climate. Higher values mean better protection in wet weather but also greater weight. To be considered fully waterproof, it must be able to withstand the pressure of a column of water 1000mm high without leaking. Often it is possible to purchase a footprint on which to pitch such tents, to protect the groundsheet and reduce dampness, but of course this is at an additional weight and cost to the runner. Extremely lightweight tents may have reduced weight at the expense of space, durability or waterproofing (particularly of the groundsheet). Whatever your excursion, if you plan to run with your tent on your back, then you’ll be looking for something ultra-lightweight and packable. What to look for in a one-man tent Weight and size: A one-man tent can also be handy when crewing and supporting fellow runners in remote locations. Think: mountain marathons, fast-packing journeys, self-supported multi-day challenges, long-distance FKT attempts and outdoor festival camping. There are lots of running activities for which a good lightweight one-man tent is invaluable.
