[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 832178, member: 54178"] JMDN, I agree the Rainbow is well ventilated, like my singlewall Moment, and the Rainbow has more floor space, much like the TT Contrail I used to have. But now I'm going to use the new Moment DW for solo winter camping and don't want the added weight of my Scarp 2. Where I'll be in Northern Nevada and my Spring Mountains above 8,000 ft. I'll need that double wall. Even here in the Spring Mountains outside of 'Vegas it gets humid in a tent in winter. But my SW Moment is just TOO well ventilated for winter and won't keep out spindrift snow. I do have SMC snow stakes for winter. I carry just one in summer for a potty trowel & "sand stake" when necessary. Otherwise I use MSR Ground Hog stakes. I think I'll have no trouble slipping my Browning A-Bolt inside my GTX camo pants and laying it alongside me in the Moment DW. I use my GTX parka zipped up to put over the foot of my sleeping bag to keep frost off the foot and give a bit more warmth. Boot liners go inside my bag as do my closed cell neoprene divers' socks. Those socks keep my boot GTX insulation dry from the inside. I hate bitterly cold feet in the morning. [/QUOTE]
