It was mentioned earlier, but how do you keep the creepy crawlies out of the tipi!? and how heavy are the stoves? Do you guys carry those things far into the backcountry?
My SO SXL weighs about 3.6lbs with its 9' stovepipe. 3 of us backpack in with it and an SO 8 man. Its pretty manageable. We could go lighter but being able to hang out around a fire, stand, and dry stuff out even if you're socked in with weather for a couple days is awesome.

Just got this Kif 8 man last month! Can't wait to test this out! It'll be just enough space for my buddy and I this Sept... Just enough...

Ok I’ve seen enough! I’m getting one. I like the idea of the SO Silvertip but think maybe a SO 4 man or red cliff would be better for 3 guys and a stove?

3 in a 4 man is not going to make you happy.

This is an inside shot of a Luna 6 with two Helinox cots, a Helinox chair and an SO Cub stove, for use as a reference. This is supposed to be a six person shelter, but unless you’re a hobbit, I don’t see this happening. BEEEFCA8-FEAC-45E1-AF9C-304CEF1C7E45.jpeg
