This is a subject that has been itching me for some time but I've not found the solution I'm looking for.
The idea of winter camping with a small, portable stove is a nice idea but for me, I'm interested in minimal fuss.
My idea is that I probably would use it for close to car camping or maybe with a boat in late fall, so weight is not a huge concern.
My issue is fuss (and frankly, cost) - a lot of these designs seem like they require a fair deal of effort to setup and take down. For this to be something I would use it needs to be useful for weekend trips.
The simplest I can figure is the Snowtrekker EXP Crew. Seems like it has the minimum amount of staking and guying.
The Kifaru Sawtooth also maybe seems like it might not be so bad. I watched the setup videos though and it seemed a bit fiddly. It is light, but also made of a material that may not be as tolerant to a spark. Also the frame is pretty minimal so you are relying more on the stakes which may be an issue in hard ground without snow.
I'd love to find an aluminum pole tent with the proper material adapted to using a stove. In all my looking, I don't think such a thing exists.
Any suggestions?
