[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1285369, member: 54178"] I use a 1 person Tarptent Moment DW (ripstop inner tent option). With 2 doors and 2 vestibules it is fine for me and my gear. My pack and boots are in the "back door" vestibule. My scoped rifle is inside the tent (regardless of the tent). If absolutely necessary I can cook inside the "front door" vestibule with canister or white gas (or even ESBIT in my Trail Designs Sidewinder). This indoor cooking in foul weather is mainly B/C the Moment DW has the provision to slide the floor back away from the door and hold it in place. But this kind of cooking requires I ventilate the ends, top vents and even the "back door" as much as possible and keep cook times to less than 10 minutes. I've WINTERIZED my Moment DW with 4 fly hem stake loops (now standard on all Moment DWs) and a shortened optional crossing pole run [I]under[/I] the fly. This is for better support against high winds and heavy snow load. Go to the "Backpacking Light" site, search for "The Tarptent Thread" and see my photos in the 1st post. Finally, I recommend everyone using a tent make up guy lines ahead of time for fast deployment when a storm suddenly blows in. I like LineLoc plastic tensioners and Triptease and MSR reflective guy lines. Triptease comes in yellow and MSR in red. This is good for color coding for side and end guy lines - good to have at Zero Dark Thirty in the rain. If your tent needs more guy-out points than provided by the factory now is the time to sew them on (and seam seal them). And get your hose out and test the heck out of your tent for water proofness. Don't ask how I know... :o( Eric B. [/QUOTE]
