  • Yeah, I'm not expecting to be out in -20C shit but me and weather have an interesting relationship so unexpected stuff is basically what I expect now :).

    You get these temperature inversions as the cold air streams down and collects in the valleys, which is very picturesque from above as you look down on a cloud, but it is freezing down below.

    Maybe the lighter 4-season pyramid tents I mentioned earlier are worth a look, some are pretty large inside. Their edges can be dug into snow for warmth and they are versatile enough for use in summer by omitting the inner.

  • Maybe it's the pole in the middle, maybe the tall look, I dunno, but I'm not as keen on the pyramid ones for some reason. Maybe they remind me of the shitty tents we used as kids too much :)

    For extended trips, my spouse refuses to use a tent where each person does not have their own space to sit up in, so many single-pole tents would not work for us either. It is why we have a horizontal tunnel Nammatj, but it is bulky packed away. The Supermid might have enough headroom, though, as it is pretty big-- I would like to try one.
