Seek Outside Silvertip or a Cimarron if you want to use a stove

 

[sneaky]

Or an LBO with vestibule

This is a borderline one, some folks are okay with that setup for 2 + stove I personally am not. It technically can fit but I don't like having to make sure my sleeping bag/gear stay away from a hot stove. The extra width in the LBO base + base would likely be worth while (or base + tarp + vestibule). I had a tarp made for my base + vestibule setup for when I want to run the stove with 2 folks as I do not want to deal with being near a hot stove with gear, again my personal preference.

Yeah, for 2 the base/ base would be better

The LBO base/base is perfect for two with gear. Split up it’s about 18oz per person with stakes. Love mine!

Big fan of my Cimarron for 2 guys and gear.

The sawtooth is a great tent for 2 guys plus a stove.

I went through the same thing last year. I went with the SO Cimarron Hot stove combo. Really nice product. If you want more wind resistance get the sawtooth but you get a little more room with the Cimarron if I remember correctly. Seam sealing is kind of a pain but it doesn't take to long.

I'm digging the supertarp with annex/stove for a fast and light 2 man.

Interested in this as well.

Are the the MLD bug bivy (older models)? The newer one has a much higher tub but these (if that’s them) look awesome!

Hasn't been mentioned yet but seems like some people are trying the Mountainsmith LT Shelter due to the price of it. It can sometimes be had for well below 100.00 and has some decent reviews. Unsure about how tight it would be for 2 people though.

I'm going to probably be giving that a try this year. Also could look for a used BA or MSR tent and just use the rainfly, I've done that before with a MSR HubbaHubba.

I'll do a huge +1 for the Cimarron. For 2 dudes and their gear, I can't imagine a more functional yet light shelter for two hunters to stay in an area for a bit. We rocked that bastard with a stove in the Frank Church last year chasing elk and put it through Snow, Sleet, Ice, Rain, Soggy Days, Thunderstorms and a night of wind that left me really in awe (and kicking myself for forgetting my ear plugs). I was so happy we decided to pack in that 2 lb stove... as we weren't "expecting" snow.

Seek Outside has been my go-to shelter provider for a while now. That Cimarron proved once again they know how to make functional and incredibly strong shelters. Couple of pictures for reference.

They are from Aliexpress straight from China LOL. I looked and looked for a lightweight bug bivy but just couldn't bring myself to spend over $100 on one. Someone from this forum used this one and recommended it so I ordered two. They work perfect and built really well. I will say though, if you are bigger than me you might want to get something bigger. I am 5' 11" and 175ish and if I was bigger it wouldn't work. The top netting would be awful tight. Pitched the way they are in my pic the netting doesn't touch your face at all.

Did you guys kill any elk?

The Cimarron is really similar to my Bearpaw , weight is about 4 oz more and the Bearpaw I have is a10x10.

It works well for 2 guys+.

I should have been a bit more elaborate on my vision.

Im looking for a smaller footprint that I can pitch in a deer bed on a steep hillside if needed. Something light weight, small profile, stove capable, and enough room for 2 max and maybe gear. Mostly used in fair weather but able to take wind and rain or "unpredicted "snow.

Sounds like you want a Kifaru SuperTarp and annex with stove.
