I am afraid I have become a bit "soft" as I age and rarely use a small backpacking type tent anymore.

My week long October moose hunting trips are done from a 14'x16' canvas wall tent complete with cots and heated with a sheet metal wood stove.

Monthly youth group activities are done in a large military modular tent, in ground sheet shelters (hoochies) or in a 2 layer Artic tent in the winter.

Through work I occasionally have to spend long hours observing from one location, if it looks like rain/snow I erect a small camo tarp.

I purchased a Hennessy Hammock last year and as of yet have only tried it out in the daytime. It feels a little claustrophobic and cool on the underside due to air movement under the hammock.
