Dome tents with 3-fly system were pretty nice, with a vestibule and cold-hole you can hooch-up pretty comfortably. Downside is the weight unless you were pulling a deer-sled or polk it's a lot, but you do what you have to.

Snow caves and snow holes on wintex... (winter warfare back in the old days).
Ecotats - heavy, made a good ecw bivvy sack, but they never issued enough poles to create a shelter/tent, and there were never any instructions/training on how to set the f***ers up. I will have nightmares tonight, thanks Ret10...
