i also dont understand why almost all american tents are "inner tent first" designs. The outer first approach works perfect, even with geodesic designs, not just tunnels.
I havent tried tunnel tents, but hilleberg advertieses quite a few of their tents as winter tents, so that shouldnt be a problem.
however if you want to set it up on rock, or other places where it wouldbe hard to stake it out, it will become problematic. but apart from high alpine situations, or a few special cases (those big granit slabs in yosemite?) you should be able to find a spot where you can put in a few stakes.
Im also searching for atent at the moment, with similar requirements. the BD lighthouse looks nice, but is unclear to me how robust this thing is, and hillebergs are to expensive.
what i have found are tatonka tents. are they available in the US? thei have a quite similar design then the hillebergs, but are cheaper, but the build quality ist still looking very good, but unfortunately they are heavy (no silnylon, just PU) and only available with a greenish-grey interiour, wich makes for a very uncorfortabel feeling interiour, even though you have enough space.
Could somebody explain me what the benefit of this inner first stuff is? i dont get it, but im afraid i will end up with such a tent. for example the marmot nyx does look quite good.
