Mice?

The only time I've had trouble with mice is in established camp sites.

Sweet setup E35!!

This was a first time deal. On my way out on the last high buck hunt I followed a deer trail that led me to the top of a small meadow that I pst throughnon my way in. at the top of this meadow is a 150-200 foot rock face with a knuckle in the middle of it at the bottom. This knickle is a perfect spot, you cant grt winded, you can shoot prone and your overooking the entire meadow. It is 40 ft to the ground from the endo of this knucle. So I chose to make camp on the side of the rock face. There was a small ledge ( as wide as a couch and just long enough for my sleeping bag. I built up a small berm with rocks so I would not roll of the 20ft drop when sleeping. I was able to tie of my tarp to the rockface. It worked, I was activey praying thg no rocks would fall on me at night and I woke up and was in exceent position before first light.

7 Mag, that's a serious stove pipe!  Nice times there.

How do you like your Cimarron?

I love it. Perfect for 2 guys and gear, even with the stove. It will fit 3 guys and gear without the stove.
I was a little concerned at first about having only 2 guyouts, but it's been fine. We've got about 20 nights in it so far, and I don't really have any complaints.

Did you pack the stove and pipe in on your backs?!? If so, how much extra weight were they?

So, I have shrunk down to a single man, mummy style tent. As you can tell from page on of this thread, its a bit smaller than before. Big Agnes is the brand, I am pretty pleased with it. It held up in Alaska during some nasty wind and rain storms.

Just under 2 pounds. It's made out of titanium. The whole thing rolls up and fits in an 18"x8" bag.

That's awesome. I have their 8 man tipi with the XL stove and absolutely love it. I'm pretty sold on their products. I want to eventually also get a lighter option and have been considering this. I will say though, with condensation on real wet days, it is nice to have that liner in the 8 man. How does condensation fair in the Cimarron? Perhaps the smaller surface area in combination with the stove makes it not bad?

With the stove, we only get condensation at the bottom 12-18". Without the stove, it's like any other single wall shelter.
