You want a tent AND stove you can pack in on your back? Or are you going to haul it on a sled?

if your going to pack in with horses or mules i bought an alaknak from cabelas. Very light. Very water proof. I built a stove so no help there. I haul everything with a trailer.

Jim Yep! Looking at this one below. Just wanted to know if anyone have ever used one of these small stoves. https://www.pomoly.com/T-BRICK-Mini-%7C-Portable-Titanium-Wood-Stove-for-Solo-Hot-Tent-Camping-%7C-POMOLY-2021-New-Series-p1820545.html

I've done cold camps in winter, but the only heated tent I ever used was a 10X12 canvas wall tent. Very bulky and heavy, even cutting your own poles from spruce trees as I've done. Add steel poles, and you're talking some serious weight. Then you've got the weight of the stove to throw in.
Nylon tent material is pretty much out because of the risk of fire. Yeah, canvas isn't fireproof either, but it won't burst into flames like a petroleum-based material will do.
There are the Arctic Oven tents, which can be bought with a propane heater. Again, they're bulky and heavy, and propane raises the humidity in the tent.
Unless you're talking pack horses, or a football team of husky players, you might want to reconsider the "pack" part of your plans. Me, I'd stick with the canvas wall tent, and haul it in by snowmachine or ATV.

James, modern hot tents are not nylon. Flame retardant. I like it better than canvas. Stuff is really water proof. Unbelievably light weight. Sewn in floor. So much nicer than canvas with a ground cloth and a small ditch around your tent to drain water away. Plastic tarp over the top to stay dry. Cutting and lashing poles is not my favorite chore either. These new tents can be easily put up by one guy. No dragging heavy canvas over a frame only to find out your buddy was never a boy scout and his lashing didnt hold up. The ridge pole collapsed and you get to fix it and teach him.

This is the tent I been looking at. It come in at 23 lbs https://www.pomoly.com/MANTA-Tipi-Tent-With-Stove-Jack-2-4-Person-For-Hot-Tent-Camping-p1091484.htmlThe stove I was looking at is 10 lbs. https://www.pomoly.com/T-BRICK-Ultra-%7C-Portable-Titanium-Wood-Stove-%7C-Camping-Tent-Stove-for-3-6P-%7C-POMOLY-2021-New-Series-p1748186.html The place I want to hunt is a 20 mile horse back ride in and I only want to carry one pack horse. Event at 33 lbs that can be split between 2 people a packed in.

I found that #11 annealed trapping wire works best for lashing poles together. You can get it real tight, and it doesn't stretch.

I used a flame-retardant (because of sparks from the stovepipe) tarp over top of my canvas tent, but canvas isn't really waterproof. Jim

For what it's worth, we used the Alaknak from Cabela's for about 15 years. Kept us dry, except when it rained nonstop and we got 2 plus inches of water in the tent (must have set up in a slight depression). It was the 12 by 20 model. Plenty of room. The only problem is that that type of material doesn't hold the heat. Not a problem if you have a good sleeping bag. We even bought an oil drip kit so we could burn kerosene in the stove at night. We have changed to a Kodiak Canvas tent. It holds heat much better. In fact, we now heat with just a propane buddy heater. Much nicer and more convenient than tending a fire, not to mention much cleaner, especially with the kerosene soot when taking down and packing up. Had a lot of good times in the old tent, but much warmer in the Kodiak. I do miss the room though. Not nearly as big. Also miss the access to hot water. Our stove had a nice 5 gallon water tank on the side. Always had hot water as long as the stove was burning. One of the pros of the new materials is that it won't rot if it is put away wet/damp. We never had an issue with mold/mildew and sometimes the tent was not dry when we put it away (probably more times than not). I just didn't have the room to lay it out and dry it out that time of year. The Kodiak is waterproof. Even the floor. We had lots of rain 3 seasons ago, and you could feel the water running under the tent. You could see the floor floating on the water. Lol. We stayed bone dry. We put pallets down outside the door to remove boots, and to just stay out of the snow/mud. A good friend of ours, who has since passed away, recommended the Kodiak. When we went hunting, he put carpet inside his Kodiak. Kept it very nice inside. It protects the waterproof floor from the chair/cot legs, and makes it warmer walking on in your socks. Very comfy. You might consider bunk bed cots to save space. I hope this helps. The convenience and comfort of the propane, along with the waterproof floor is a no-brainer in my opinion. I hope this helps. Message me if you have any questions. Best of luck in whichever you choose.
