How about ordering a surplus GP medium (think the swamp from the TV show MASH)
Takes two people to put one up, and it is a wee bit bulky, but not as bad as some others. Besides there comes a point of no return. You can make it outa tissue paper and get it lighter too, doesn't mean it will be a good tent. Also keep in mind you cannot use nylon anywhere around where the stove is going to be, or where the stovepipe is going to be. Flame retardent or not you get a good howling fire going and your tent melts. GoodOlBoy

Yes, 2 people can put up a GP Med but it's a pretty large pain in the neck. We had 4 putting ours up the first time I deployed and it took a while. But, on the plus, you can live in one literally months at a time and they'll stand up to the use. They get a little noisy when the wind blows but it's not too bad if all the guy lines are taught. You could probably fit one in the bed of a full size truck and still have room for everything else you'd take hunting. If I had the money and enough people I hunted with or if we hunted longer than a week at a time I'd pick one up but I only hunt with one or two guys so it's not really economical.
