Head off for a week or so of adventure that entails more than one activity, with a few airport transfers thrown in, and you’ve got a slight dilemma on your hands in regards to how to carry all your gear.

Of course, besides all this gear, you also need a shelter. Ideally, this shelter must be light in weight but still robust enough to withstand those often-wild spring/summer/autumn storms we can cop on the east coast of Australia. Finding that combo of lightweight and tough construction, however, isn’t always easy.
