Our Scout Troop has two Go Lite shelters for 6 and 5 persons respectively. We need another. Looking at the Tarptent Hogback. Other suggestions?
Jul 7, 2021 at 3:33 pm #3721233Oware may have something that would suit your needs. Not a “tent”, but a 10′ x 14′ tarp w/perimeter netting. Says the 30d weighs in at 2 lb 15oz.
Jul 7, 2021 at 3:55 pm #3721236Eureka Timberline has been a classic for Scouts. Eureka also has other tents that hold 3-5 people.
Others companies include Seek Outside, REI, Big Agnes, Lite Outdoors Plateau, Luxe Octopeak,
Jul 7, 2021 at 7:28 pm #3721284The only 4-person “tent” I remember GoLite making was the shangra-la 5 which was a pyramid tarp. That was my goto shelter for a large number of kids and I though worked great though it has a huge footprint. There are several companies which are still making 4+ person pyramid / tipis such as Mountain Laurel Designs and Seek Outdoors, maybe OWare, and numerous companies that used to make them that you might be able to find used but good conditions including GoLite/MyTrailCo, Black Diamond and MSR.
