Can't see the point of the giant tent + stove + hammock. If you need a hot tent, take a hot tent. If you want to hang, hang. Both is a bit silly. If things go bad with the hot tent hammock combo, line the interior of the hammock with kosher salt- next user of the site will find shelf-stable dry-aged ham.

IF you ever decided to leave the hammock world, this site offers very affordable Tipi HOT tents for solo to 4-6 people.
2 people with this tent as shown here which costs $250. The foldable titanium stove is about $450. Split 2 ways that's not bad and the weight would be about what 2 separate tents would be.

They even have a version of our Dry-Fly with a Stove Jack so you can heat/cook in bad weather.

Some really innovative gear at a decent price.

Maybe an early May or October thing IF I was basecamping, I suppose. Lord knows I've hauled bulkier, more "experimental" crap along on mere whimsy in the past.
Heck, why not throw it in the pack? I'm the guy who hauled a full canoe sail rig (pink) AND two seat-backer canoe seats clear across a 3 mile bushwhack into a remote WCPP lake (along with my normal outrageously heavy gear). Just throw it in with the rest of junk & let's see what happens (other than another back or hip surgery).
Interesting, though....
