Brooks range-hot tent?

[Jacob Chapman]

Hey folks,

Heading to the Brooks range next year with my bow & a buddy to chase after caribou.

I don’t have to worry about weight limits & am putting together my gear slowly but surely.

What I’m stuck on is a tent option, specifically whether or not to bring a stove.

Gotten some feedback both for & against bringing it, and truth be told I’d love to have it both in case temps drop a bunch, or I get wet & want to dry out.

For those that have hunted the Brooks Range-if you had a stove were you glad you brought it?

Or if not, did you wish you had?

You will find hardly any wood there to burn unless you are able bring it or a pile of duraflame logs

This.
But if you don't have a weight limit by some miracle, you can bring 50lbs of split firewood and be all kinds of toasty.

Would charcoal be better? More energy density than wood.
