I'm a PhD student in atmospheric remote sensing in Kiruna, Sápmi (Lapland), Sweden. I first came to Stack Exchange for practical reasons: Tex.SE has been of major help when I wrote my licentiate (midterm) thesis. Since then, I have discovered the joy of many websites. As my network profile will show, I'm interested in travel, outdoor, scientific skepticism, and as I work in academia, also in academia and LaTeX.

Turns out I actually meant a freestanding tent!

@KateGregory Hmm. Maybe I'm confusing self-erecting and freestanding!

Why not for proper camping? One major advantage that the seller told me about is that it's much easier to erect a tent in rocky terrain, because there is no need for pegs to create structure.

comment Is it warmer to sleep naked in a sleeping bag?
A friend of my parents went on a Himalaya expedition a long time ago. During the night, his friend went on a bathroom trip in the storm. His friend was never seen again.
