A snowtrekker tent has been a game changer for us. We had the tent up and the gear out of the blizzard in about 5 minutes, and then another 10 to set all the stakes. Water was boiling on the stove in under an hour of arriving at camp. Good thing too, because the snow was sideways and the windchill was brutal. This was after a several hour hike into the backcountry, but my goats carried everything but my pack, rifle and 2 dozen eggs.
The tent is so easy that I prefer to set it up solo, as I have the process down that way. My buddy helped a tiny bit with the wind trying to blow the tent away, but mostly he was cutting firewood, and throwing panniers in the tent.
