    Wood stoves and backpacking. Show us what you use!

    Id love to see some pics of what guys are using? Im talking about heating one man, 2 man, tipi tents here not wall tents.

    Ive been backpack hunting for years. I must say as much as we all love that form of hunting getting dry, staying warm and just feeling human again after the 5th day of a 10 day hunt nothing beats wood heat. I made a kick ass mini beer keg stove for a fun project last year. I thought to myself for the extra 5 pounds why not pack this in for those long foggy, wet, cold days sitting in my tent.

    How many of you guys pack a wood stove on a backpack hunt?
    What stove have you purchased?

    This is a Golite Shangri-la 4 with a titanium goat cylinder stove. I sewed in a stove jack and sewed a sod skirt around the bottom, I've been using this combo for mountain hunts since 2009. Lots of room for 2 with gear and the total weight is right around 4.5 lbs.

    Right on, this is what I'm talking about! I know guys do it its just nice to see some examples. Pretty sure 4 or 5 pounds split up is well worth the warmth and ability to dry out gear.

    Hope others chime in.....

    Thanks mod7rem!

    great theory!
    you just cant put a price on being warm and dry... well for me anyways..
    the only reason I have not purchased one is the cost.

    Pricey due to the US/Can exchange right now but hard to beat a Titanium collapsible stove... http://www.vantagepoint-outfitters.c...tanium-stoves/

    Awesome set up. Is that 4.5 lbs for the tent, stove, and pipe? would you mind if I ask what the cost of the stuff is? Thanks.

    Me and my sheep partner use the tigoat 7.5 tipi with the tigoat stove. It rocks. around 6 pounds for the whole set up. Tons of room. Nothing beats being able to dry your gear out.
