MSRBackpacking-Tents msr Elixir Person Lightweight Backpacking Tent

Q: How much does this weigh?

Around 6 pounds, give or take a couple ounces. That includes everything- tent, fly, footprint, stakes, and poles.

Q: i just wonder if it is heavy for a girl to carry in backpack as i see it is 6 pounds?

It’s heavy by today’s standards. The MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2 is a lighter (and more expensive) tent by the same manufacturer. They look very similar in the pictures, but the Hubba Hubba uses more high-tech materials.

Q: Will tent stakes work that are width: 1.38inch. diameter of the hole: 0.42inch? I have to use different stakes because I need special ones for sand

Yes, the loops are big enough to accommodate just about any type of stake—you’ll be pulling the corners out to keep even the loops taught
