I realize that summer is upon us, but in no time at all well be looking at cold weather again. Being one to try to plan ahead, i was wondering what some of your favorite cold weather tent set ups are. Im not packing in, but campers and RV's are not an option.  

Kifaru Tipi with a T-goat titanium wood stove.

6 man Cabelas Alaskan and a buddy heater. I never sleep with the heater running

Rusty

Floorless shelter and wood stove can't be beat.

Kifaru tipi and stove for us, too. In addition a quality mummy style bag is a must.

I use a canvas wall tent and stove if I camp at the end of the trail/road.  When I pack in, I use a 6-person Kifaru tepee and medium stove.

Nothing beats a good canvas tent and good wood stove.

I would like to have a light weight set up and have looked hard a t the kifaru's as well

Not packing in nor back packing so the best choice is a good canvas wall tent and wood stove.5 foot side walls are perfect but 4 foot work very well if that is the only choice.

12x14 canvas wall tent and a wood stove..

kifaru 8-man tipi... had it for many years now, and I still cant imagine a better shelter, packin in or staying by the car.  When Im not packin, I bring a bigger airtight cylinder stove.

10x10x7 canvas wedge tent with doors on both ends and a 3' bell on one end.
I don't have a wood stove yet, if we have a real winter this year I'll get one?

I have / hunt out of 2 different wall tents. BOTH Montana Canvas, one a 12x17 with 5' walls, the other their 12x12 spike tent with a custom made 10x12 vestibule.  They are awesome,  I've logged 4nights & 6 days in the spike tent this year. The wood stove and the smell of canvas can't be beat!

Mate I'm a solo kind of guy and I sleep in my Hennessy safari hammock all year round it's a good one to set up nice and quick and will work for hot weather too. I use a exped down mat 9 rated to -40 and my fairdown polar sleeping bag -30 in winter in the snow inside the hammock and I'm snug as a bug. And if you have a set up like this it is pack able as well. With having a good mat like the exped down mat  if you don't have trees to sling your hammock u have a good mat for the ground as well. The best night sleeps I've had in the bush have been in my Hennessy hammock.

Thanks for the info. guys, with your input, youve given me a great starting point for more research.
Having a warm dry camp to rest in and prepare for the next days hunt means the difference between a good hunt and a Great hunt.  

 

Be sure to get a fairly large stove with a good dampening system if you plan to hunt late winter in the northern tier.

I once spent a week with lows of -18 and we were comfortable only because we had a large stove.

Be sure to use a tarp since it prevents melting snow refreezing on the canvas.  Also gives a bit of insulation.

If you're not packing back in the Cabela's Alaskan Guide model tents are hard to beat.
