Bolonsky Adam Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 There's usually only one partner in a couple willing to sleep out overnight from a sea kayak. Here are three well-reviewed 3-season tents solo available for cheap from Amazon. They're all made by Eureka, are well-reviewed, and ship free. Eureka Solitaire: $65 See the listing Read the reviews Buy one Eureka Spitfire: $89 See the listing Read the reviews Buy one Eureka Backcountry: $129 See the listing Read the reviews Buy one One handy way to kayak camp is to pack a large base-camp tent to set up on a homebase island. Keep the the solo tent stashed in a hatch. Set out one morning for another island further away, and if like the place so much you want to spend the night there, you have a second tent. Or say you land on island large enough that a hike to an inland campsites is attractive and feasible. No problem. Solo tents are small enough to stash in a daypack: a feasible tactic on large backcountry camping islands where long hikes are very much worth the effort. Quote
