[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1015042, member: 54178"] I'll say this about "teepee" style shelters. 1. They are light (silnylon versions)... but most have no floors so the ground cloth must be added to the weight 2. They have a nice footprint... but a lot around the outer edges is unusable due to the angle of the tent walls so the footprint size is deceptive. 3. In deep snow you can dig down a foot, compact the footprint area as usual, and have more shelter from winds. [/QUOTE]
