What tent can stand snow load.I would never leave any tent pitched in a snow storm if I was not there to shake off the snow as it came.
The fourth season is a real problem for me in any shelter without a chimney and heat inside .I camp where the trees grow.
A tarp does the roof over my head, keeps the wind out and I sit by a wood fire inside (weight near 5 lbs).
Why spend a pile of money on a tent if you have to live in your sleeping bag and shiver to keep warm.
The tarp chimney/stove is truly a four season outfit.
