Our setup is similar to coosa1’s. We have our 8mam tent set up with a pop up tent at the opening. We cover both with a large tarp that helps double the waterproofing and allows a cooking area right outside the tent. To old for ground sleeping so we have cots set up inside and can run a buddy heater on cold nights. Looks like a tent city, something you would see under 65 in bham but it’s dry and warm and serves its purpose. It’s in a protected area of the property so winds never get to bad. We put it up opening weekend and take it down when the season is over
