We have a ground floor to the inner tent but not in the absd. Can be some problems with open fire in the cooking device if you have a ground floor.

@1newbucketheadcover1 We did. This tent i very well ventilated but still it keep the water outside and you must allways remember to save a dry change of cloths to sleep in.

Making people aware it`s dangerous to use stoves in tents??? jeez man.. nobody should fall a sleep with the stove on in the tent. That`s why you have a stove-watch in the military.
Weather like that on the video is not uncommon in Sweden, Norway and Finland. We`re talking high winds and -5 to -30 degrees C, not counting the windchill. 3 feet with snow is also pretty common everywhere.

@nof08 Just making people aware it can be dangerous to use stoves in tents.

That looks so fun!!!!!!

@nof08 that's not enough to be called snow.

Sorry I can't call that "snow". Dusting, yes.
Show me how it behaves after 2 feet of new powder overnight.

Some people in the UK just died through cooking inside their tent because of carbon monoxide poisoning and another family just last week were rescued unconscious by their neighbours. Although I guess these tents are well vented in these storms.

@cgooodie I allways open up the outer tent a little for ventilation before i start cooking. You save 50% fuel than you cook inside the tent! I never noticed any problem.

Wind - yes. But where is the snow?

@runcycleskixc The snow is the white powder on the ground and on the tents.

I wonder how strong the winds were, 15 m/s? I did not plan to test my Nammatj 3 in 26 m/s second winds last September but ended up in strong winds (storm starts at 25 m/s). Did not sleep much and I also got the wind sideways and no chance to fix it, middle of the night, to tough winds and rain as well. It looked a lot worse for me but it held up at least.

I did not brought any windmeter but your estimation may be right. I am very glad that it was not a real storm that we had to fight against.
