Struggling with tent(s) for upcoming elk hunt

[gostovp]

I’m really struggling with what to do regarding our tent situation for an upcoming archery elk hunt ( thinking first two weeks of Sept). The areas we are going could be conducive to truck camping as well as a possible spike camp if needed. The wrench is now instead of me and my son it’s me and my son and another guy ( which is totally cool, the third guys is awesome and will be a great camp mate). We have our truck camp covered as we have a Kodiak Canvas FlexBow 10x14…. Plenty for all of us. My issue is with our spike camp… my son and I have a Seek Cimarron and my son wanted a hot tent so he ordered a Danchel titanium stove off Amazon (Winnerwell fastfold copy). My son wants the hot tent to dry things out , take the chill off, and as a moral booster ( seems like fire always makes you feel better). I just don’t know if the Cimarron is gonna be big enough. I’ve heard of guys running three and a stove in there but to me it looks super tight, even with two ( gear under another tarp obviously). . And I’m just super consented about condensation. I set it up several times in the yard and I don’t know if I’m sold on it vs each guy having their own like a lightweight doublewall freestanding tent. Any thoughts and opinions and experiences are greatly appreciated!

Maybe let the third dude provide his own spike shelter.

Each guy should have their own. It will definitely be a steam bath with three dudes in that tent

Yeah i was obviously thinking that. Was trying to be accommodating as much as possible

That’s what I was thinking… I’m super concerned about the condensation
