Ever slid down the side of a mountain in July because you can’t find the trail due to DEEP snow AND you don’t have the footwear for a STEEP decent? A controlled slide is much better than slipping and then uncontrolled slide. I did it both ways in July. There was apparently more snow last winter than usual due to glbull warming. :-)

Love it!

I’ll never get to sleep in a tent with my wife unless I put up the tent in my master bedroom.

Buy the gear you want for camping "for emergency purposes only" and put it in the trunk of the car.
You never can tell when your vehicle will "break down".
Then she'll have no choice but to sleep with you in a tent on a very good air mattress and pad and warm sleeping bag. (hehehehehe)
