Has anyone tried these yet? Just spotted them the other day, and was curious...

: THanks Reg,

: If it were up to me I'd get a smaller tent, but Amy is insisting
: that we get a bigger tent. Something about me snoring and taking
: up room- go figure!

: I totally agree on the four-season tents. They are winter tents.
: One day I am going to start a company that makes tents and I'm
: going to design a tent that has zip-out liners for all the mesh
: areas, as well as a variety of zip-out vestibule options- a true
: four-season "convertible" tent. The "Schweizer
: Tent" is also going to have flaps around the edges that you
: fill with rocks, dirt, or snow to weight the edges down- keeping
: wind from getting under the tent, and will have a footprint that
: covers the vestibule area so you have a place to bang the
: mud/sand off your shoes before you enter the tent. There will be
: a "gear ledge" in the back of the tent that stretches
: across like a shelf. Not a gear loft- but a ledge that gives you
: a shelf to put stuff like lights, eyeglasses, toiletries- stuff
: you want close at hand, but you want off the floor where you
: aren't rolling over on them when you sleep.
