I’ve camped in numerous tents of all sizes from nothing to 12 man globes in Greenland, and have tried mats and bags aplenty.
My personal tent of choice is the Lawson Hammock Tent which can be pitched between trees very quickly, or pitched on the ground.
It is very light for what you get, but you must be warned: getting in and out requires a bit of ballet, because if you try to roll out incorrectly, it will just roll over.
Thankfully, it is strong enough to hold your weight upside down, but it is rather shocking in the morning.
They being said, it is the best tent I’ve used period.
I can sling it in almost every situation and be sleeping within 10 minutes.
If it is hot, and there are no bugs, I don’t use the small poles.
If there is a cliff, I sleep facing the cliff, unzip and have the best view.
I’ve slept in Palm trees directly over the ocean, unbelievable, in the mountains, in forests, inside buildings (just sling the hammock tight and it lies nearly flat.
The key is that you can sleep flat. If you sleep straight down the tent in hammock mode it will be curved, but if you angle in it, you sleep flat.
Again, this is my go anywhere, sleep anywhere tent.
I keep carabiners on each end for gear that I hang in waterproof bags, like north face duffles.
This is a solo tent though, no sharing…
If you try it, make sure you get a suspension system, either from them, or from somewhere else that make hanging the hammock a 1 minute job.

There was this “sleep under the wing” in June. All the old tents I had were since long gone (thought I had one laying around, but no). Bought a new one for the occasion, for €20 at “Biltema” 
There were no need for a tent anyway, except for mosquitoes. The Cub would take about 4 hours each way, since it would need re-fueling, so I took the P2008. My son also came along, and it’s much nicer side by side in the Tecnam
As a side note, fully loaded the P2008 is no high flyer. My plan was to fly at 7-8000 feet, above the rather turbulent thermals, but it simply would not climb above 5500 feet in the turbulence. On the way back, the air was much calmer, so got it up to 6500, which was OK with a strong tail wind to push us along. The P2008 should have had the 915 or 914 instead of the 912, and it would fly like a normal aircraft.
I did a “poof of concept” for real, on a trip to the Scilly Isles where a single boatload of tourists overwhelms the (already massively overpriced) hotels, and it worked well.
The Garrison Campsite had loads of room and at £11/person/night it would be almost acceptable to UK GA pilots, who normally have a ceiling of £10
Breakfast time – DIY cereal and fruit mix with oatmilk
All very workable, but sleeping is not that easy unless one can lie straight on one’s back.
Having that pub bench nearby is an absolute gift.
The funny thing with throw tents are that they are up really fast indeed. Take them out of the package, let go and all you need to do is catch it before it flies up the nearest tree.
It’s getting it back into the package which is the challenge most of the time. Not the first time I saw with similar beach tents being stuffed half deployed into the baggage compartment or on the backseats… only to do the “bang” act again and open into the cabin. I would think in an airplane this could be a bit of a situation :)
Some folks I know keep buying cheapo throw tents like this and then simply stuff them into the next dustbin once they are done with it and it refuses to fold back into its bag… particularly on open air festivals this seems to be a rather popular move… guy I know keeps going to such events, waited for the folks to leave and then spent a day collecting the abandoned tents to resell them on ebay.
Actually there was enough room to sleep; the main issue is that there is nowhere to put the “stuff” e.g. backpacks. These “dome” tents are a great technical solution to easily putting the tent up in a few mins, and it being wind- and rain-proof, but they don’t have much room under the vestibules.
It’s obvious when one looks around a campsite. Nearly all the tents I saw on this one were dirt cheap ones but were huge, with huge vestibules. OTOH those people were “hardcore campsite campers” who turned up in cars and took three wheelbarrows to haul their stuff
Nobody will be backpacking with those tents. I reckon they were 5-10kg. If you have to carry the thing, compromises have to be made. And if sharing a tent, somebody snoring will wake up the other even if there is space

My wife and I like each other but we still use a three-person tent when we’re out hiking…

Yes. For two people, most would choose a three person tent. A three person tent with two people is about as cosy as a two person tent with 1 person.

The Primus liquid fuel stove is – as I found out previously – extremely sensitive to debris in the burner nozzle. It really needs to be packed in a bag which doesn’t get any dust or dirt in it when transporting. The starting procedure – cold start v. hot start – is not dissimilar to an IO540
You should really give gas a try 
Indeed liquid fuel is technically a more versatile solution, but you can’t bet gas for convenience and simplicity. The entry cost of trying it is very little too.
£16 for the stove
Vango Gas stove
£5 for the gas
Gas
For £21 you’d not be much out of pocket if you didn’t like it.
Liquid fuel has it’s uses, but for what you’re doing I’d suggest that gas is a better solution.
Justine and I did a “proof of concept” test. Not easy to sleep two in a two-person tent although it works with somebody you like and if you don’t have to go to work the following day But the MSR tent is excellent for 1 person.

The starting procedure – cold start v. hot start – is not dissimilar to an IO540… But once it runs it is really powerful for such a tiny thing. I also think it should have an inline filter in the pipe just before the burner.
Boar can get quite big as well, definitely larger than the largest fox I’ve ever seen. They sometimes live in cities, whole families – an encounter can be scary, especially if your dachshund decides it’s looking for a fight.
Moose
More unrelated information: in Norway about 500 moose are killed by train each year. 1000 are killed by cars and trucks. 30k are killed by hunters. None by GA AFAIK
