Alabama? I think winter down there I would just sleep in a hammock... Lol I missed that when I read your post I would go with a Kodiak or a Springbar before a Cabela's. The Springbar are second to none, but pricey, as I said before, I love my squad tent, warmest of any tent out there by far, no need to use the stove jack, a little buddy heater will run you right out of there because it's insulated. I think the actual name is the M-1950 5 man artic tent.
