crazy tent idea

[buckhunter]

Our family still has the tent we used about 50 years ago. Its basically a 12x12 wall tent with a flat roof. The flat roof would be a pain during the snow but she never leaked in all the years we have used it despite the moth holes. Even survived a Kansas tornado once. Tore a hole in it but a patch fixed that.

I'm not a big fan of nylon tents. Just never kept dry when it rained. Yes it lighter and easier generally. I have doubts wheter a hanging tent would survive in really nasty snow storm. I would go for something like the Mash GP tent. A pain to put up but a pretty decent home.
