Cheers buddy, I'm really pleased with how it's worked out, Ian did a great job on the tent and the stove seems to be holding up okay.

Nights were cosy but still cold in the morning, the stove soon warmed the tent up after lighting though

Just ordered a new pipe kit from Four Dog so I can fit all the pieces inside the stove.

Got a week on Loch Shiel coming up so I'm taking the hot tent along I think, hoping for some chilly nights and maybe some snow :)

Shewie, I dont know if this has already been posted. How much does the tent weigh? Thanks.
Oh, and where do you get a NATO 5 season CCF pad?

Not too sure on the weight, I've never bothered to check. I'm up in the loft tomorrow so I'll take the scales up and weigh it, finger in the air job I'd say around 9-10kg

I bought the NATO pad on ebay about 6 years ago but this looks like the same one

Great cheers, just after a rough approximation. Pretty good weight then.

Finally got round to weighing the tent and stove Dave

Tent = 7.7kg + 850g in poles
Stove = 5.6kg + flue pipe (got a new set on the way from Four Dog so I'll weigh it again when it turns up)

Not bad all in, the tent packs down to a fairly flat parcel of 15x50x70cm roughly, a decent size to drop in the top of my canoe pack.

Sounds very manageable.

Found a little 5 minute vid, of a fourdog winter bushcraft course to wet the appetite. :)
