I remember waking up a couple times in the night because the tent pole was beating me in the head from the wind and it held up without raining blowing under the fly. He was asking me about tipis last night, but neither of us want mice running across our face in the middle of the night and I’m not sure how hard they are to set up in a hurry on ground that’s less than flat when the weather turns shitty. We’re pretty nomadic too, we don’t set our camp up in one spot and day hunt, we tend to just pack our gear up and keep moving which is a lot nicer with an msr tent that sets up in minutes in any weather.
Maybe some of you guys with the four season tents could chime in, but I stayed in my brothers 4 season msr last November in pretty cold weather(at least -20, probably -30 overnight) and it was pretty damp in the morning. My sleeping bag, pad and gear was damp. That’s really the last thing I want when I wake up. I’m wondering if he didn’t have some of the vents open.
I need another three man backpacking tent for the family, so I think I’m going to buy another hubba 3 man which we can use for hunting as well.
