What time of year and what temps are you expecting? It's a big,(very big) investment but a floorless shelter with a stove is really by far the best option for backback hunting past mid Oct. It can be done somewhat cheaper by building your own stove. I'm sure KC will be along shortly to tell you how horrible an idea that is...
