Can you give me an example of this style of tent? I'm not sure I can think of any that I've looked at which would meet this criteria.

Also, regarding stove usage, my initial thought is I wouldn't be cooking in the tent or vestibule. Since those wintery camps are most likely to be with the Scouts, I'd be out with them.


Well, you do have Hilleberg:

Hilleberg has a very good reputation. Helsport is another Scandinavian brand that probably has a wider range of qualities (from expedition style to family summer camping).
