Tent Buying: Under $100?

Hi, I’m looking into buying a tent and was wondering if anyone would know one that would fit my needs.

I’m spending 5 weeks camping in Alaska. It’ll be coldest 30 degrees. I need a small tent that’ll fit me and my hiking backpack, so maybe a two person tent. It needs to hold up to rain and be durable enough to last for the full 5 weeks.

My maximum price is 0, but I’m ideally looking for something around .
Has anyone bought a tent that might fit these needs? If it’s over that price, please answer anyway, I might be able to find it cheaper on ebay or something.

Thanks!

What hiking and camping gear should I buy?

Ok here’s the scoop…
I want to get into hiking and camping with my wife. I currently have no gear. What should I buy? I have about 0 to work with. I am planning on camping through 3 seasons, spring, summer, and fall (a little in the winter perhaps). I am going to need a two person tent, his and hers sleeping bags, and his and hers backpacks. I am looking for gear that would take me on 2-4 day hikes. Should go with internal or external backpacks. What’s the difference? Is there a good rain resistant tent within my price range?
