So I live in the pacific northwest and I’m planning on getting into winter camping this year in the cascades and olympics, and I need to get an appropriate tent. Â I have a Moment DW I used to use before switching to a tarp for 3 season use; if I ordered the solid inner, would that tent suffice? Â Or should I look into getting a Scarp 1 or a Hilleberg Soulo or similar?
Marginal, especially if it snows. Scarp 1 has the same basic design, which has long, unsupported, “flatish” roof surfaces. Hilleberg Soulo is bomb proof with 3 crossing poles. Hilleberg Unna is slightly lighter and less expensive and has a bit more interior room. The fully self-supporting design of the Hillebergs is a big advantage in snow also.
It depends on how much snow you can expect to get there.
The Moment DW with the external pole in place will take several inches of wet snow (much more for powder)
The Scarp 1, also with external poles, will take a bit more
(Scarp 1 from Hendrik in Finland, oddly I see wet snow on it)
