For those that have done an Alaska fly in hunt, would you recommend a tipi stove set up or more of a backpack set up with a hilleberg or similar tent? It would be caribou end of August most likley in river bottom type country.
I'd say tipi. August is our rainy month and the ability to dry out with the wood stove will make for a more comfortable trip. Even in the open tundra areas you'll find enough twigs and dead brush to burn to help dry you out, especially along the rivers and lakes where you'll likely get dropped. Bring a few fire starter cubes to get thing's going.
Even better idea, bring both tents. One for sleeping and the tipi for cooking and drying out.
