Does anyone have any advice on the best backpack-able hot tent for windy or severe weather conditions? I have a Silex, and it's pretty great--but with only four stakes and no floor it's vulnerable to the wind and to rain splatter under the tarp.
I also have a Kifaru Sawtooth. It's also great, though a bit heavier. The size lets me sleep away from the edges to minimize rain splatter, but it's so tall that it didn't stand up well in a windstorm on last year's elk hunt. Rather than staying warm inside, I was constantly going out to fix stakes.
What I'd really like is something like a Hilleberg Namatj 2GT except built with a stove jack. Or--better yet--some kind of free-standing geodesic-dome tent with a stove jack that's still relatively light (8 lbs is heavy but would be okay for what I'm thinking).
I'm also considering buying a backpacking dome tent and then sewing in a stove jack--probably to an attached vestibule.
Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone manufacture this kind of thing?
