Showerthought: People keep buying the biggest tent they can carry

I used a tiny 2-person tent on a 5-day trip and slept better than ever because I wasn't in a wind tunnel. Everyone seems to think more space equals more comfort, but a smaller tent is warmer and quieter. Anyone else find they actually prefer a cozy shelter?

Ever tried sharing a tiny tent with a snorer?

Oh man, joseph455, that's the worst. It's not just the noise, it's the whole tent shaking with every snore. You're trying to sleep on a tiny air mattress and it feels like small earthquakes. I ended up just staring at the tent ceiling for hours, listening to it echo. Makes you want to just go sleep in the car.
