Well thanks for all the replies, boys. I have some researching to do. The only real reservation I have about them (and I am hoping one of you guys can dispense with it) - is pounding tent pegs in winter.
I have never tried it! I used to get by with my old four season Kelty and usually there was enough weight in it with the gear to keep it from blowing away - I never staked it at all in the winter!
It looks like you guys don't have any issues at all with frozen ground. I really want to get back into winter camping. I have all the gear but stopped doing it several years back. It's time to get back outside.
