Tent and Sleeping Bag

[idcwby]

There are three of us going to do a November hunt off our backs, we’ve done this stuff before just not this late in the year. What is everyone using for a lightweight tent and sleeping bag in the 0 degree range?

Never done a hunt that late in the year but I would be using some kind of hot tent if I did and taking a bag similar to the one I have that is like this one.

Like Duck said.
Hot tent.
I'm saving up for a Seek outside hot tent combo. Probably go the Redcliff route.

I went the lightweight Kifaru route for the bag. Really wish I would have purchased it a few years ago after having it now. Love the middle zipper.

Oh and do yourself a favor, get you one of these....I freaking LOVE mine. Nothing makes me more miserable than sleeping on the ground.
You'll thank me later.

It takes 30 seconds to set up and its super light. I'll never sleep on a root again.

I’ll have to consider that. So far I do pretty good on the pads I have.

I should have mentioned that I also put a thermarest sleeping pad on that cot and I sleep like a baby....

That combination was a gamechanger for me. More weight? Yes, but I didn't wake up every morning wanting to fight someone. lol

I have had luck with kifaur tipi's and marmut sleeping bags.

My late season bag is a North Face down 0 degree bag. A 0 bag stuffed with quality down (750+ down or better) will be compact, lightweight, and expensive. a vital part of cold season camping/hunting is my Thermarest NeoAir mattress. The pad does great job of insulating and has not leaked in over 200 night of use. My KUIU 2P tent is my go-to when I want a lightweight shelter, and is very comfortable for one, but tight for 2, especially on a late season outing.
My hot tent was an 8 man teepee, and with a stove weighs around 13 lb. That's not too bad when you split it up 3 ways. When I used it last we had packed in on horses, and have sold it to a forum member who has used it for several trips. 3 or at the max 4 is all I would want to cram into the 8 man Kifaru 8 man if you are using the stove.
I wish I still had that tent for a mid-October trip last fall when 3 of us each brought our own 2 man tent.

Thanks. Gives me some ideas on what is going to work for us and see how my buddies want to do it.

I’m still young and dumb enough to keep freezing my @$$ off.

For a lightweight tent and sleeping bag that can handle temperatures down to 0 degrees, check out the selection on .They have a variety of options to choose from, including both tents and sleeping bags designed specifically for cold-weather camping. Additionally, it's important to properly maintain and care for your sleeping bag, such as washing it in a washing machine with the appropriate detergent, to ensure it stays in good condition and performs well in the field.

just answer ChatGPT said: For a lightweight tent, I’d recommend the Big Agnes Tiger Wall Ultralight or MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2—both are solid for late-season hunts. For a sleeping bag in the 0-degree range, the Western Mountaineering Alpinlite 20° or Feathered Friends Hummingbird 0 are great choices. If you want something slightly warmer, the Marmot Col is also an excellent option. Make sure your gear handles moisture well, as late-season conditions can get damp.
