How about September or October? Before hunting season starts? At least do a few short overnighters, for practice. Do you get time off mid-week?

The four-season tent is for winter conditions (wind, deep snow), and I hope you're not going out in that!

I lived in Pennsylvania for five years in the late 1960s, and my two younger children were born there. We eventually ended up back out west (where we started from). I have fond memories of PA, though, although I prefer my mountains bigger and my summers less humid!

If you're a year around ranger, you at least know what conditions you'll encounter in November! As I mentioned earlier, practice keeping your insulating gear dry, at all costs!
