I understand what all of you are saying and it's probably alll true, but I do agree with Lori I think it would be much more comfortable than a tent would be, also I can use it for just hanging out at the house in the woods or at the beach (cuz I have that down here ha) I mean I still have to weight my options, because I won't be living down here for much longer, 2-3 years at the least I will be in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, or Montana.
