I was surfing around and came across this link:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4697882

It’s a tent sold by Walmart made by Swiss Gear that uses one of their hiking poles ($10 at Walmart when sold separately) all for $35. Obviously, it won’t be the same quality as more expensive offerings. But I found it intriguing that it was offered at Walmart.com. It says it sleeps two, I couldn’t find a weight, but the shipping weight was listed as 2.5 pounds, and I find shipping weight is always noticeably higher than the product weight. Maybe the paradigm shift is extending out to traditional markets now?

Not much info on materials used but if it were 6 inches longer it might be worth a try.

There was a post on this a little while ago. I could be wrong but, I think it was determined that the weight is actually 2.5 kilograms not pounds.
