[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 491531, member: 29323"] I have a couple of comments. I have the Kiraru 4 man tent with stove. When you get cold wet weather, it is a lifesaver. The stove is small and it is difficult to keep burning for a long time. It helps to have a small saw to cut short wood. I use a Gerber folding saw (about 5 oz.). Stove can be hard to start. I usually take some sort of fire starter to make it easier. Hard to do with just a match or bic lighter. I use a 3/8 foam pad to sleep on (about 8 oz. for full length). You need some good insulation under you to keep warm. If there is pine duff where you're going, you can do that in addition. 3/8" isn't much padding, but maybe you're younger than I am (NM is rocky). When it is really cold, or for a long hunt, I take a short thin thermarest on top of the 3/8 blue foam. That adds about 13 oz. but sometimes it is worth it. I've never tried a space blanket, but I'm guessing it isn't as much insulation as 3/8" foam. [/QUOTE]
