Tipi/tarp and stove

[tyeager2964]

So for hunting 9000 feet in the middle of October as a planned backpack style hunt (if we sissy out there is always a car some miles away) how many would recommend a floorless stove combo??

It would need to fit 3 and gear. Cost is a huge factor at this point so I am currently looking at SO LBO (base+tarp+base), Redcliffe, or 6 man tipi? I like the kifaru megatarp + annex but doubt it would fit 3? The LBO has more potential as it can be used as a tarp w/ annex more for myself at home.

Any advice from more experienced than I will be greatly appreciated. We are currently looking at using 2 backpacking tents and have appropriate sleeping gear (sleeping bags between -20-0 and appropriate pads) but a week of lows in the 20's without a heat source and poor weather could/would suck.

Should we suck it up and tent and hope for good weather or spend the cash for the comfort?

Check out this thread. For three, I'd at least try my Cimarron. Maybe bring along a smaller tent or tarp for gear.

For three dudes and a stove I use a Kifaru 4-man and a small 5'x8' tarp if we have a lot of gear. It's not overly roomy, but it's plenty big for a backpack hunt and saves some weight over the 6-man or larger.

I have looked at the cimmaron a lot but I don't think it will comfortably fit 3 full grown men for a week. I could be wrong though. I'm looking hard at the redcliff as it was recommended by seek outside for my purpose but it is a lot with stove for 1 person. I have looked at the tut 4 man but I don't see 3 fitting in it well either.

I need to call kifaru but haven't had a chance yet.

My main question is whether or not a tipi stove combo is worth it

Yeah, for a week, with 3 dudes and a stove, a Redfiedl would be a good option.

Here is an option that might work for you, seems like you can get 3 guys in there pretty comfortably and it's pretty light and cheap in comparison to others.

If that link doesn't work go to eBay and search jimmy tarps alpine basin

If only someone still made something like the GoLite Sl-8....canopy is sub 5 pounds and is nearly 200 sq ft of space!!!

I went with sawtooth for two people. If I was having three id go RC and a tarp for gear or maybe 8 man.

We slept 3 deep with stove and gear in my SL5 last year. Little more room would have been nice, but it wasn't bad.
