A brand new Zpacks tent has just dropped. It's called Free Duo. It's a dedicated freestanding two person tent made out of DCF and carbon fiber poles. It's for those who don't use trekking poles or who pitch on hard ground, rock, sand or wooden tent platforms when stakes don't work well.

After years in development, numerous prototypes and countless field testing trips, Joe V from Zpacks has come out with a truly groundbreaking freestanding tent for situations when the ground is hard, sandy or on a wooden tent platform or when stakes just don't work or when carrying trekking poles are just not your thing.

Zpacks now has a freestanding option for you.

Note: You can go stupid light with Big Agnes Crazy light freestanding tent range (Fly Creek Carbon, Tiger Wall Carbon series tents) which DCF fabric and Carbon fiber poles.
But if you want to it to last more than one trip without getting a hole or massive rip or tear in the way too fragile 0.34oz DCF fly or 0.51oz floor floor, then the Zpacks Free Duo is a much better mix of function, durability and weight, with thicker carbon poles, 0.55 0.75oz DCF fly & 1.0oz DCF floor

I would recommend the 0.75oz spruce green DCF fabric option for the Fly for added durability and lifespan for very little weight penalty (2oz extra)

That's my initial 2 cents assessment.
