09/21/2020 03:58PM Saw your old post about the Cimarron from SeekOutside- did you end up getting that? If so, has it worked out? I'm considering the Redcliff with a stove as well, trying to get some info on how well these tents work in our MN winters. |

11/30/2015 09:35AM The Sierra Design Mountain Guide Tarp tent is another option. They are on sale on their website for For $270 normally $360. Just need to do some modifying to it for a stove jack. There is one on ebay that has modifications already done to it for $425. |

11/28/2015 09:00PM A couple things to note: 1 unless you are shorter in stature I bet you will wish for more head room. 2 the brown color wouldn't be as nice as white for letting in light during the day. Given those things if it meets your needs for a price point then go for it. |

11/28/2015 03:54PM I have the Megalight. I think it's a bit small to use with a stove. Also, the top vent is too small for condensation venting, IMHO. (For comparison, the Oware tarps are similar to the Megalight, but I believe their doors zip at both top and bottom, giving them better venting options. Oware also offers larger sizes). I think one of the nice things about hot tenting is that you could dry out a few clothing items. For that, I think I would size up to maybe one of Seek Outsides 6 person tipis, so there was a bit more headroom room for hanging clothes maybe. I think it is worth the extra $ and weight. |

I have looked at the Mega Light, and I could rig that for a hot tent pretty easily. This setup, however, is already set up for a stove and includes a titanium stove along with the stove jack. Seems like a decent price for a complete set up. $800 shipped. |
