Is this tent compact and light enough to fit in a 65L pack with all your other gear in it?

i backpacked this tent for two weeks in back country of Yellowstone. it will not fit inside of the pack too well, but the straps on top of the pack are perfect for it. it is heavy and bulky to some degree but not at all impossible to pack around. btw wilmer, car "camping" is not camping, buy an rv. haha

No, IMHO the Mountaineering Extreme 3 is not a backpacking tent - too heavy and bulky. I used it for car camping in Alaska last summer. Really like this tent. Sets up in minutes (all external clips), roomy(for 2 adults), weatherproof, no problem with condensation, nice sized vestibules. Added feature - two zippers per rainfly door, so one can unzip the door of the rainfly down from the top to avoid having to crawl on your belly to reach the zipper at the bottom edge when exiting the tent. Rainfly has 2 prop-out vents.

I would say yes. It's very light in my opinion. I wouldn't mind backpacking with it. I believe the outfitter model adds a tiny bit of weight and size, but it's definitely worth it. Very good tent. Easy to set up too.

Honestly - yes. Will you have to leave a few larger things behind? Probably. If you have a bag that also has a camelback - no. I don't know enough about the extra compartments in your bag or if they expand/collapse to make room. There are measured specs on the total area of the bag and tent - just go to the manufacturers website. Then you can determine if the internal compartment is suitable for your "compacted" tent. Hope this helps. It's an awesome tent tho. I like how spacious it feels with 2 people. And your fly does not have any mesh vents. It's a solid tent.

Yes. It is not very big so if you need a smaller camping bag, it is perfect!

Yes it is. Wore it during light rain and all my gear remained dry. It's a great pack.

I think it will be fine. Consider, though, that this tent is small for two people, which is why I bought it. I wanted more room than a typical solo tent without a huge weight penalty. At the time, this was the smallest 2 person I could find. I have been very satisfied with mine. The factory specs say it is 82" long, plus the alcove.I see. that other reviewers think it will be on the short side. That may be, I am only @ 5'8".

I would say yes. It's light and it has "back-pack" straps on the back and it's light.

Yes. Can be packed into the bag easily the fact being the tent bag is big. But compacting the tents into a backpack still requires abit of time.

I don't think there would be enough room for you and your pack and boots. This tent has a footprint about as big as a standard sleeping pad or cot. You could fit a few personal items in with you but it's pretty tight, especially if you need to use the rain fly.

I don't think you could fit it inside the tent. My pack is a little smaller than that and I can fit it under the rain fly, but it is a pretty much sleep and a few personal items size space.

Yes. This is about as light as you will get for a moderately priced tent that will actually keep you dry in rain and wind. Replace the steel tent stakes something lighter. Figure out a lightweight ground cloth. The floor is relatively thin.

Yes, it is very backpack friendly. I was able to pack the tent, a light sleeping bag, and a few other things into a backpack that was quite easy to carry around, and small enough to be allowed into carry-on luggage, even on small aircraft with tight overhead compartments.

My son used it for a 5 day wildernes trip, but we hadably to scale down his load because he only weighs 65lbs. It could easily carry 70-80 lbs of gear. would say you can make it work if you are only taking limited clothing and food. If you are not caring much food or cooking supplies, I think it will work great. There are lots of pockets for toiletries and personal items. A 30 degree bag in a stuff sack fits in the sleeping bag section perfectly. I am 5'5" and the pack length fits me very comfort

Yes it does, it is quite small. I think it is ok for backpacking but small for just camping.

Yup, It packs down to about 2/3 the size of a 1 Man backpackers tent. But as the previous responder said you will probably want to be able to tie off the footbox area as to not have it rest on your legs. I use it more for its light weight than pack size. On a motocycle I would probably use my 1 Man.

Certainly. Last summer my dad (49) and I (23) used this tent on a trip through the Rockies. It's only big enough for 2, but 2 do fit just fine.

I would say yes. I have taken a smaller version of this pack, the 34, on a 10 day trip. But I am also a big fan of ultralight, and have gone out of my way to make my equipment small. I also did not carry a hammock on that trip. On weekend trips, I put my sleeping bag in those straps on the bottom, and everything else fits easily enough inside or in the side pockets. Part of that depends on what size sleeping bag and tent you have. Normal summer gear should not be a problem.

Yes this Tent is lightweight and fits well in a backpack for a Four Person Tent. It is easy to set up and durable.

I don't backpack anymore, but would say it is doable. It's not a ton of bricks but not exactly a featherweight either. For two it is very roomy if you want to bring gear inside. The sizes given in the other answere seem to me to be correct.
