Backpacking tents are available in smaller sizes. Are people backpacking alone, or considering sharing the tent using someone? Some sort of solo backpacker only requires a one-person tent, although many choose a two-person tent for the additional gear storage space. Two people can sleep in a two-person tent, but it's a close fit. A tent for backpacking is designed with poles that break up into shorter lengths to take up less space in the backpack.
