I think I'm with you, if I sat around in a tent I'd eat MORE!!!

Anyway do those tents have windows? If not what separates them from camping in a Winabego? Like gee here we are in our Winabego in Yosemite valley watching tv by the heater...

I go for the view and the snow.

Which by the way brings me to another point (sneaky huh?) Pyramid shaped tents do no do well in heavy snow fall because the side load up. I spent a lot of time in canvas tents when I was a boy scout and if the snow melted on the outside, wouldn't it start to drip inside? We always had a rule NEVER TOUCH THE SIDE OF A CANVAS TENT IN THE RAIN, at least no above your own sleeping bag.
