Advice on tent situation

[CO-AJ]

Glad I’ve got time to think about the great advice from you guys.
Think I’ve settled on a Cimarron Light with screen door and half nest. Add a stove and I think I’ll be set.
Weight will be around 10# if I’m adding right. Should be plenty or room for me, gear and wood. Hoping it gives me some flexibility for warmer and colder hunts.

Consider the DCF option for the Cim? It is similar to the lite but shaves quite a bit of weight. You can still run a stove and I use a LBO nest rather than the 1/2 cim nest to shave even more weight.

Is it really worth the $500+ extra charge?

Been using a SO BCS for 10 years, along with a Ti stove. A stove in the cold and wet is pure bliss.

IDK. In my opinion, there are more benefits to DCF then just the weight savings, but if it’s worth the extra $$, I guess only you can decide that.

I have 2 LBO’s, 2 vestibules, and the connecting tarp and I’ve used them in every configuration imaginable. The shelters are awesome and fun to experiment with.

However, I am also 59 and being able to stand and walk around, which isn’t an option with LBO’s, has become more desirable to me.

So I now also have a Redcliff. It’s the bees knees!

Just an update. After chewing on this for a long time, I ordered a Cimerron lite combo with a large stove. I decided that standing upright was worth any extra weight.
Thanks for everyone’s input and advice.
Now, I wait.

How tall are you? The Cimarron isn't really tall enough to stand in. Great shelter though.

I like to say I’m 6’, but more like 5’ 11”.
It has to be better than the last one I had, it was about 50”.

Well gentlemen, I have my SO Cimerron Lite. Put it up this morning and took less than 10 minutes, start to finish.
Got it sealed today and work on burning the stove in.

Looking forward to your review once you've got it out a couple of times.

Ho well do the SO offerings (and others work in wet weather with no floor? Any issues with water coming underneath them?

Great…as long as you’re not pitched in a low spot. Scratch a line in the dirt,and the water will follow
