I have a TIgoat 7.5 tipi and stove. Used it for a bunch of years on sheep hunts. Like the tipi and stove but don't love it. you end up spending a ton of time dealing with the stove. In bad weather it is nice to hunker down in it at night rather than out in the elements. If I knew it was going to rain and snow for 2 weeks on a sheep hunt I would consider taking it. I have been pretty lucky the last 8 ish year and would rather go with a conventional tent in those situations. Went with a duston x mid solid 2 for myself starting last year. Love it. I just use my trekking poles. takes 2 seconds to cut a couple sticks and throw them in for the day when using the poles day hunting. I might grab a set of the poles durston advertises for future hunts that I am not having to hike a ton or if only above tree line. I prefer sleeping, setting up, and packing the durston over dealing with the tipi. only draw back of the durston over tipi is drying gear if you get wet. Floorless tipi's are cold the second the stove dies. you need an extra tarp or bivi to keep your bag clean. finding a big footprint for it can be a pain.
