Yep I didn't say it was easy, but like you said two CAN do it. I seriously considered picking up a GP large I could have gotten a deal on a couple years back. We had a big family reunion coming up, and it was all an outside/camping affair. Sure I woulda needed a little help putting it up, but I was thinking about using it for the kitchen/eating/card and domino area.
My point was and is that sooner or later when you trade off weight for convenience you get to the point where you can't weather a beer fart.
I have spent alot of my life camping (especially in my scuba diving days) and it don't take long to tear out a floor, rip a wall, ruin a rain fly, or have a spark from a campfire leave you sleeping in the back seat of your car. Heavy tents need to be resealed every once in awhile, and they are harder to lug, and they take more to put up. But I would rather go through the extra effort in the beginning to be more comfortable in a rain storm/snow storm.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
