I put the end of my sleeping bag in a garbage bag to keep from condensation getting it wet. As stated above some of these ultra light tents are extremely small.
I do like the idea of a backpack stove and shelter. I'll have to look into this.

So just to bring this one back and let everyone know where i ended up. A friend of mine who is also a member here found some tents from China that were getting stellar reviews with the hiking community. So for the price i couldn't resist. They are from Ali Express i got 2 tents for way less money than one name brand. I got what is called a flames creed 3 man teepee and a 3f ul which is a one man ultalight tent that is probably best suited for scouting ad early season. These tents are very high quality! I tried the teepee out last weekend in the snow for 3 days. Its great. No complaints. Just wanted to let you guys know their is an affordable option available.
What are you using for a pole?
Just one of my hiking poles. The teepee came with a pole extension but it didn't work with my style of pole so i just cut a stick the length i needed. In the future i will adjust the extension that was supplied to make it work.
May be a good alternative to something like a Cimarron - get a stove jack installed and you're set.
Northwest shelters make awesome tents.
Frank is great to deal with. Customizes too.
Yes i will be getting a stove jack installed
I have 4 hard seasons on the MSR HH NX, 4lb 7oz, tent, fly, foot print, poles and pegs. Would highly recommend.
