My tent is similar to one pictured above, but with a rain fly. Two can fit, but they'd need to be really friendly.

A friend who is an "ultralight" backpacker just uses a couple of small, lightweight "sil-nyl" tarps, one for a groundcloth and one as a roof. He uses a trekking pole to hold the roof up, and three sides of the roof tarp are flush against the ground. He uses a mosquito needs to be solved. Altogether, all of his backpacking stuff (excluding consumables....water, food and fuel), weighs seven pounds, including the backpack.
