[QUOTE="chindits, post: 2265208, member: 92909"] I’m a backpack scouter and hunter. I haven’t been cat hunting in a while but that’s my latest season. 4th rifle when I can’t get a bow tag is pretty common these days. So around here, that’s usually dry powder and sub zero. I generally run a duomid summer season but my experience is pyramid tents are less than desirable with snow loads due to side wall encroachment. If there is a potential for snow I use my scarp 1p. It has some drawbacks. I replaced the storage sack for a bigger one immediately. I duct tape the corner struts and mid end struts to the webbing holders after loosing a carbon fiber rod in the snow. I was unimpressed trying to thread the main support tent pole in that yellow tunnel during a wet snow. A waste of time and material, the loops saved me. The doors could be a little taller to get in or out of the tent with out getting condensation on your back. If you’re zipped up during a storm you’re going to get condensation or frost. But the tent is bomber, it has a relatively small footprint, and your rifle and optics will fit inside. Some might remember last year’s snow storm on opening day of sheep season. I guarantee those sheep hunters would of stayed in the mountains with a scarp and a positive attitude. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
