One Person Ultralight Tent?

Mason

Hi! I am going to hike the appalachian trail after my eighteenth birthday (soon), and I don't know ANYTHING about tents really. I am going to be packing as light as possible and I would want to know some tent suggestions. The things that are most important are: the tent is as light as possible, it is small, and it is three season. I just need it to fit me and my stuff and I don't need luxury or anything. Thanks!

I have the REI quarter dome and love it.

Think outside the box consider a hammock as well, these are very popular along the APT for more APT info sharing go to the link,

What is a good backpacking pack?

The Angel

I have been backpacking before, but used my dad's old backpacks. Now however, i would like my own, but am a little confused at which on to buy. I would want to be able to go anywhere from a weekend trip to a week trip, depending on where i am going, and also i would like it to be water resistant/proof, and wear proof.

I have looked at a couple such as the Northface Primero, and the REI XT 75, and i was wondering if these were ok backpacks. Also, could you give me some suggestions on trustworthy brands, and how many liters should i be looking for in my pack?
In the past i have backpacked ultralight, with an ultralight pack and have enjoyed it, but i am looking for one with more padding and with a chest strap and loadlifter straps.

Lastly, are the dual pivot hipbelts any good? I have heard mixed reviews about them throwing people off balance, but then some reviews said they helped when they went backpacking...

THANK YOU!!!!!!
by the way, i recently saw the osprey xenon 70...any good?
