winter tent

[Leshy]

My Seekoutside 8-man tipi, Ti stove and 10ft chimney weigh approximately 11 lbs (5kg) IN TOTAL, and pack down pretty small. And yes, it kept me warm and dry in the Arctic in winter!

Hope you don't mind me asking but how much for this type of set up please?
Sounds perfect for solo trekking in the boreals ...

Ah - now you're talking significant dosh! Check out https://seekoutside.com/ They do a bundle - tent, sXL stove and half-liner for $1500....

For solo trekking, they do smaller tent set-ups - eg 4-man tipi plus large stove and half-liner for $1129. I didn't have the liner in mine. Weight of 4-man tipi (no liner but flyscreens on both doors) plus medium stove, damper, spark arrestor, 7.5ft of stovepipe and a nice stovebag is 5lb 1 oz.

price for 4-man plus stove is $1008.

Wow!
Nice set up though, I've just been on the website having a look...
Only just stopped drooling!

I was thinking light enough for me and dog solo (and kids in a couple more years) and indeed the 4 man looks perfect.

I might have to start selling some kit...
😦😤

For the size of it I would say its a little small to do it with comfort. Also they are quite heavy for their size. Have you thought about a Bergans 4 - 6 lavvo? They weigh around 4 to 5kg but can sleep 3 people very comfortability.

I recently got the seek outside Cimmaron with medium stove as an early christmas present - This model weights only 2.5kg so I can use it backpacking, but you can't stand up in it and more than one person would be a squeeze, though two people would probably just about fit if you were careful around the stove. Its also significantly cheaper than any of the other hot tent bundles that seek outside make. I have found having a wood stove really makes the difference when winter camping. Knowing that when you finish the day you can dry off and warm up is great for moral and being able to warm up first thing in the morning is great too. I'm taking mine up to the Cairngorms in a few weeks.
