Sharing a tent with my usual travelling companions is likely out of the question this season so thought I’d better get my solo hot tent finished. I bought about the cheapest pyramid tent I could find on eBay, $75 including a mesh inner. It has a door either side which could be useful. 16” walls and snow flaps open up the headroom and give it the useable space of a much bigger mid, with useable space right to the walls. I added some may guy points up the sides and sewed buckles at the bottom of the zippers to help take some of the strain. This tent came with a #5 zipper, I think I would go with a #8 if making my own. The small solo stove fits great, lots of room inside. It’s 8.5ft long by 7ft wide at the middle. I can crank it up to 5.5ft high with the telescopic painter’s pole. Hope to give it a try soon. It was 16 deg C here today so I didn’t try firing up the stove.

another plus is that if it does snow heavily you don’t get snow build up on the fly like you do with a tipi.
