Grumpy makes a good point. What is your priority?

My last few trips have been winter trips so mine is comfort and safety. I take a lot of stuff-a big two person tent, just for me, extra clothes and gear, skis and a sled. There are pics of my gear somewhere-winter forum or maybe trips forum.

On the other hand, I saw a tv show about Yellowstone showing a photgrapher sleeping under a tarp in a pretty big snowstorm. Not something I want to be doing.
