My last fast & light trip was a while ago. 5 days between Stevens to Snoqualmie on the PCT. We moved a comfortable 20 miles a day. Not too fast. Our packs weighed about 24 pounds each, including water and food. I'm hoping for a packed weight of about 15 lbs next time. Our tarp was fairly big and the design eventually evolved into the MSR Twin Peaks, becoming much smaller and lighter. The proto could have slept 3 or more, but its nice to have the space when it rains, or to keep the condensation down. You can now find a design like this earlier size at Golite http://www.golite.com/Product/ProductByCategory.aspx?mc=6&s=1. Or of course there was always the the original Mega Mid from Black Diamond http://www.bdel.com/gear/tents_overview.php
