Interesting.  I took a different route, but ended up with the same tent
Debbie picked!  The Nebula looks to me like a "best buy" in serious
storm-proof but roomy tents.  I like the huge vestibule areas at either
entrance, and it must be close to the VE-25 in ability to withstand high
wind.  Only drawback:  it has a huge footprint.  Guess for the size of the
sleeping area, gotta expect that!

The thing will definitely require sandhogs or snow flukes in soft sand or
the like.
