Winter Backpacking In My First Hot Tent | Is a Stove Worth It?

This is the @F%9B%A0annel/UCj-mmTebK0RiX1mXT2p_NXQ XL Tipi (3p) with their Wood Stove. Winter has arrived here in Idaho and before the weather gets extreme I need to get my gear dialed in. So on a cold November day Brett and I drove to the Clayburn Trailhead roughly 40 miles north of McCall, Idaho. From there we hiked the easy 2.8 miles to Lava Butte and the Lava Butte Lakes for my first overnight backpack in the snow!

In this video I'll go over what I learned. Some things I did well, some gear I need to improve on, and of course what I thought of the hot tent experience. Is dragging a stove around with you in the winter really worth it? Let's find out!
