We often ‘hot tent’ using a Kifaru Tipi. The set up process involves clearing a large area of snow – or at least leveling the snow as much as possible.
Then we stake out the tent.
Insert the center pole and lift the Tipi.
Setting up the wood stove and chimney.
Home sweet Tipi.

What criteria do you use for hot tenting vs cold camping? number of people? number of nights? expected overnight lows?
Thanks.
