For our mountain hunts we’ve equally used either a modified SL 4 with Tgoat cylinder stove or a Hilleberg Nalo 3 GT.
The benefits of tipi with stove is light weight with lots of floor space and heat. Easy in and out without having to take boots off. A big footprint but easier to make a suitable bedding spot with a mat of moss to even things up.
Condensation can be an annoyance if you rub against the side, but I’ve also had lots of condensation in the Hilleberg in certain conditions. Even wet ground dries up quickly once the tipi is set up.
Never had any issues with mosquitos and flies in the tipi because they all seem to end up in the very top. And I just have to ignore the fact that there’s spiders probably crawling around me when I’m sleeping.
The worst thing we’ve had in the tipi was a porcupine but luckily I was able to coax him out with a hiking pole without getting any holes in our sleeping mats. He was chewing on the plastic inflation valve but not long enough to wreck it luckily.
I don’t trust my tipi to handle a bad storm the way our Hilleberg has though.
