[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 610388, member: 41338"] I hunted Western Washington once. Every hunter I saw was wearing fishing gear and every camp had a hay tarp over it. Seriously! You guys know wet weather. I didn't put on one stitch of clothing that wasn't frozen in the morning. O.K... For conversation's sake, you pitch your tent on wet ground. Will it dry out quickly or will it stay wet or very damp for a while/days? Also, I can never find flat ground to pitch on. Will rain or melted snow run through? I can see a major advantage of condensation never puddling on the floor provided the grounds not frozen. Also, there's no floor to clean. There's the thing about the gap between ground and wall. How much colder is it? I can't think of a situation where, if I were cold, a breeze in the tent would be welcome. Also, what are the add-on liners for (Kifaru Sawtooth)? Are you say'in a week of Washington rain/sleet and it's still cozy? That's a good point , more tent coverage per/pound. I'm wondering if it also equates to more coverage/dollar? I'm not obsessed with ounces. Half the time I'll reach into my pack only to find last seasons lunch still in it. I hunt Idaho and you can just about count on your hunting area being burned to a crisp at one time or another. In a burn area, even 10 years after the event, the ground is mighty fine and ash like. How's floorless in those camps? I've always maintained that I could market a dog turd as the finest turd in the world, produced by the finest breeds that were fed the best and most expensive caviar... and if I charged enough, I would bet the farm that I could find somebody to buy it and eat it. I just want to know the $1000.00 floorless 3-man tent/stove I'm thinking about buying isn't a turd. [/QUOTE]
