>>2491982I also have a SO titanium stove and tent (the Cimarron). It's like 6.5lbs for the whole hot tent setup, so I can snowshow or backpack it in pretty much anywhere. But I've also found myself using the tent by itself year-round and it's now my main shelter, I am thoroughly pyramid tent pilled. I can't believe I ever used regular freestanding backpacking tents (which is all I've used for like 15 years). The space to weight ratio of a silnylon pyramid tarp and a bug mesh insert is like 2x better than a regular freestanding tent. It's fucking luxurious. I don't know why the aluminum frame backpacking pup-tent became such a thing, since this sorta pyramid / teepee tent was around for hundreds of years before anything else.
But anyways, the SO titanium stove setup is only like 3 lbs. Yea this whole setup with the tent is like a $1k US. But it is possible to be reasonably lightweight (for winter) and still hot tent - you don't have to carry a 15lb stainless stove and 15lb canvas tent.
>>2490972> Do you really stay warm? Like others have mentioned, at least for these lightweight titanium stoves, it's hard to get a load to last more than about an hour. It's a comfort / dry thing, not a way to cheat on your sleep system (unless you want to wake up every other hour). As for heat - it can be outright sauna hot.
>Is it a fucking mess? What do you do with a dirty ass stove and chimney when you need to travel? Not gonna lie, my hands (or gloves) look like a fucking chimney sweeps after every takedown. I do clean it a little more thoroughly than most, I suppose, but it's pricey gear and I'd like it to last.
