AlexHL	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.
OldFingers57	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.
kmjsuperfly	11/30/2015 08:24AM I've the 4-man version with the large stove. The extra weight is minimal and the extra room is nice.

Given those things if it meets your needs for a price point then go for it. " Excellent points, especially the height piece.

(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 agree with wanting the extra space a 6 person would bring, and it is not the weight, but the $ at this point. Maybe I will get lucky and find a used one somewhere!" Moonman made a DIY ammo can stove for a fish house a couple years back. Yeah, the winter camping gets expensive....

Frenchy19	11/28/2015 03:50PM quote OldFingers57: "Are you using it for hot tenting? Have you looked at Black Diamond Mega Light tents or Big Agnes Yahmonite " Hot tenting, yes. 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.

Frenchy19	11/28/2015 03:04PM Thinking about pulling the trigger on this setup. Thoughts?? Seek Cimarron Bundle
