Looks interesting but I didn't see anything about a stove jack. Did I miss something?

VERY interesting except for the weight. Really seems like the "fastpack" weight would be less, but maybe I'm not visualizing the size well.

They make a lighter version that is just over 6lbs. With the steeper side walls there would be more usable space than a tipi and winter camping it would be nice to have the sleeping area as a barrier to help keep gear dry.

that looks pretty cool, lots of potential there. Kind of a best of both worlds approach

I know a few guys who pack in a version of this each year and hunt elk out of it with a stove. No cots, they just like the ability to stand up. https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/reddirtcabin

Thanks for the link! That might make for an interesting alternative to a wall tent and it'd be lighter and smaller to store.
