I've been going light the last year or so and just pitching a 10x10 tarp tipi style for my son and I, just picked up the lite outdoors plateau and 18" stove though so I'll have to take some new photos over the spring.

SO Redcliff. I love that you can pitch them anywhere, even over moss covered boulders.
You can even pitch them in your front room for the boys. This one is a SO Lil Bug Out.

More Redcliff

Love my SO 4-man.

Just a couple pictures from a seven-day, hundred-mile remote float-trip in western Alaska. My son got his first brown bear...a nice 9ft boar, aged by ADFG at 9-12 years old.

Didn't see another person for the entire trip...

You can’t say 9’ boar and just casually not include a picture!! Especially during these times!

Good point...sorry about that. I was trying to respect the thread title.

I wrote about my float trip and the two-week remote drop-hunt for moose that followed. That's in the "Moose" section on Rokslide:

Remote Alaska DIY moose drop-hunts and more...

I always pause at year end, count my blessings, review a few pictures/relive experiences, and plan for the new year with hope. Additionally, it’s been well below zero for over a week here, so it seems like the right time to encouragingly share some narrative and pictures of remote Alaska fly-in...

When I did the original thread I didn't include the picture of my son and I with his bear because it's special to me. That said, I changed my mind this morning (given all that's going on), and posted it...you'll find it at the end of page 2.

SO Redcliff. Enough room for 4 guys and light enough to be carried by 1.

It was mentioned earlier, but how do you keep the creepy crawlies out of the tipi!? and how heavy are the stoves? Do you guys carry those things far into the backcountry?

What kind of “creepy crawlies” are you talking about? There are nests made to keep mosquitoes out but they arent usually a problem in the mountains. Same could be said for snakes. Other than that theres not really anything else to worry about.

My SO SXL weighs about 3.6lbs with its 9' stovepipe. 3 of us backpack in with it and an SO 8 man. Its pretty manageable. We could go lighter but being able to hang out around a fire, stand, and dry stuff out even if you're socked in with weather for a couple days is awesome.

No Tipi for me but a couple mids
