Hi guys,
I was hoping you could all help me brainstorm. I'm wondering what's the lightest most efficient "hot tent" setup I can achieve that will fit 2 people. I do not want to buy Cuben Fiber. I would be using a very small wood stove (e.g., the Ti Goat/Ruta Locura WiFi Stove). Also, the 2 people are small and thin (5'7" ~140lbs and 5' ~100lbs).
Here are my considerations so far:
Golite SL5
Seems like it would be plenty of room for 2 + wood stove + gear. Tarp + supplied stakes weighs only 32oz, but I have to buy the whole setup, including the unneeded inner nest, for $300 from golite
Black Diamond Megalight:
I'm not sure if this will be big enough, but I want to say that it'll work since we are small. Weighs 29.4 oz for the tarp only + supplied stakes and trekking pole connector. Big Perk: I can prodeal this for around 50% off, so probably around $150 total cost.
Golite SL3
This would be ideal since there is one on gearswap right now, but I think this will definitely be too small for 2 people + stove. Weighs 25oz for tarp +supplied stakes
I briefly considered the MHW Hoopla 4, but it seems like setup is finicky, requires a lot of stakes and is heavier than all the other options above.
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone that has shoved 2 bodies in any of these tents. Thanks guys!
