Best tent with a stove

Two guys Alaska float hunt im sept '24. Rained 7 out of 10 days. 4 mam SO tipi with the SO large woodstove. 4 camps in 10 days. 30 minutes after picking a spot we could have the tent up, woodstove lit and bear fence activated. Pro tip, bring the dry wood from the last camp with. Don't think I could be talked into that hunt with any other setup. Plus you can cook moose on a stick right inside the fireboxView attachment 957939

Or right on top of the wood stove, with a little bit of tinfoil.

Propane or gas lantern is also a good choice for heat plus they give off light. Either will keep a 10x10 AO pretty warm if the temperature is above 30F.
Propane lanterns can be purchased with different lumen ratings. Lumens equal heat output, and also equals more fuel being consumed. Coleman makes a propane model rated at 1000 and 1500. The standard gas lantern with 2 mantles is roughly 700.
Gasoline lanterns use unleaded gas with no ethanol or canned fuel. Lucky for us, all gas sold in Alaska is ethanol free. A couple of gallons of gas weighs less than the equivalent in 1 pound propane bottles. But the propane lanterns are easier to use with no pumping and no generators to replace if you run into bad fuel. Flip a coin
 
You got to have the liner with a single wall tent. The stove is handy for days you are rained in. Firewood can get tricky, at times. My buddy set the stove up and i know the stove pipe into the coupler is wrong.

This is how much space the new Ursa from Alaska Gear takes up including the optional floor saver. The bag is about 2 feet long.

I've used our Seek Oustide 8 man tipi three times and cannot say enough good about it. If you are in a drop hunt and the ground does NOT HAVE ROCKS but ONLY TUNDRA, you have to get the long sand stakes from Kifaru if possible or make your own. They need to be at least 24-36" so that the wind does not blow your tent ouf of the ground...
