[QUOTE="minute of elk, post: 813823, member: 44031"] [b]Re: What type of shelter do you use most often for backpack hunting during rifle seas[/b] my little Cabelas bivy has seen me through up to 18" of snowfall without collapsing (i had to punch the walls on regular intervals to keep condensation off, but it held up). that's my go-to shelter for short trips (1-3 nights). the only complaint is with such a big door/flap, it's hard to keep snow out on multi-day trips. 3.5# iirc if i'm going for longer i'll take my 3 season Kelty (bombproof frame has stood up to 60mph winds & 2-3 feet of snow before). the smaller opening limits how much snow or mud i can track in (crawl in), and the vestibule gives me a place to keep gear dry. 8# with heavy tarp for footprint.
