Muley,
Yes I've tried the tarp and stove. Not worth it from my experience. You really need an enclosed shelter to get the most benefit for a stove, drying clothes, saturated warmth etc.
Thanks Spence, I was thinking about modifying a tarp/fly so that it will wrap around a rigid frame (out of limbs trees,etc...) and be fully enclosed... At least until I can afford one of the nice shelters.. I guess it will give me something to do in the winter and help with cabin fever..lol
