At what point is a 2 man flip up tent too heavy? Is an 80lb empty flip tent setup heavy? I am a young half-fit person. I dont mind a bit of work but I dont want to be training for a biathlon either. Are there any 2 man tents liggter then 80 lbs in the flip style?

If it starts at 80 Lbs that will be no problem at all to pull by hand, UNLESS you load the hell out of it. Most 5 or 6 man tents weigh 80 lbs all by themself.
Biggest problem most guys have is they pack WAY too much crap. Stick to an auger, 2 rods each, skimmer and a fish finder and you will be just fine. Start adding Heaters, extra finders, 6 rods, two LARGE tackle boxs and the like and even Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't pull it.
