What are your thoughts on the Nemo Hornet? I have a BA Copper Spur UL HV 1P but am second guessing my decision to go 1P. The Nemo Hornet came up on my search but didn't see many good reviews.

I have had past models of each, and have current models of both the Hornet 1P Elite and Big Agnes Copper Spur ULHV 1P. I like both.

The Hornet is my 1P solo summer-ish backpacking shelter. I use the slightly roomier CS ULHV 1P for long nights during fall hunting.

The Hornet 1P is my favorite solo tent, and I've had a pile.

For perspective, I'm 5'-10"/150lbs.

I should've been more clear. I'm thinking of going 2P and the NEMO Hornet was another option.

Upon further review, I think I'm going to just run the CS 1P and decide after the hunt if I really need 2P. At 5'-6" 175lb I don't need tent length, a little wider would be nice.

No I hadn't seen that one, not sure if I'd like that other than the weight. I'm willing to take the weight penalty to have a little more room plus the additional vestibule.

that scout looks pretty minimalist. i have a new copper spur platinum and its the lightest 2p tent i have owned and the vestibule space on both sides is great! its pretty amazing how light it is for the size you get.

I've used the Nemo Hornet for the last three seasons. The tent is light weight and tuff. Used down to zero and in heavy snow - for it's weight and pack size it's hard to beat. I'm 5'11", 165 . I really like how fast it goes up and the covered entry to put your boots on in the morning and keep your pack clear of snow.

Do you have the 1 or 2 person version?

Thanks.
