And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Very Nice. Perfect for travel during the coming Ice Age.
I wonder how it stands up to wind. Having dealt with wind in the field, I will tell you that the WIND 2 is about the only tent that pulls it off. The North Face geodesic tent, allegedly a good design, is worthless in the wind. I think that this one would be as well, even as cool as it looks.
Wind is a problem in the Arctic/Antarctic and in many places. Wind chill will kill. (hey, I'm a poet!)
I got pretty good at igloo construction when I got cold enough at Cold Lake, Alberta back in the 1970s. Canadian Forces used to teach a great arctic survival course up there. great preparation for an assignment to the south china sea...

I've owned a North Face , North Star tent for 37 years that is simply incredible in the howling winds.
