How’s this tent for my first trip?

I’ve always preferred using a free standing tent.

The footprint might not be as small but it allows for set up in a variety of places.

I think I would find it a bit cumbersome to pack two trekking poles on a bike. Unless you’re already planning on taking trekking poles I think I’d go for another option. 

I have the [tarpstar 1 from alpkit](https://alpkit.com/products/tarpstar-1?srsltid=AfmBOooOU3m4pPSWHLNY9JdeUvWR83aOhWsGI5QqDDVanWkgMgnBhwDU ) which is a nice option I use for backpacking. It is a single trekking pole tent but you can use their [vertex tarp pole](https://alpkit.com/products/vertex-tarp-pole) to be more compact. 

Alpkit also do the [soloist tent](https://alpkit.com/products/soloist) which is a more traditional one man tent design and a decent budget option to get started. 

Naturehike make similar tents in their cloud up, mongar and cloud peak range.

I’ve done a lot of touring with my msr hubba hubba which is a brilliant tent, but quite expensive. The msr elixir is a cheaper option, but I’d go for the one man version as it’s quite a bit heavier than the hubba. 

If you get really into touring and camping you can look into something like a Hilleberg tent. Incredibly expensive but world-class build quality and design. I’d love to get myself an Unna one day.
