Hi all, did a search and didn't see much on this tent. I have a trip scheduled in Feb to go to the Poconos - a good friend of mine has 220 acres bordering around 7000 acres of PA game land we want to go and explore, so we need some lodging for a 4 day weekend. After a bunch of searching, we settled on the Loj with a small wood stove, but I wanted to get some opinions here and see if anyone had experience with one, or with the thermo tent which was it's Kickstarter predecessor, in cold/wintry conditions. All reviews I've seen of it have been good and it appears to be able to withstand really high winds, though we shouldn't have to deal too much with that as we'll be close to tree lines which should block a lot of it.

I called and talked to them and they said adding a stove jack would be fine and that a few customers had done so, but that unless it's really cold it wouldn't be strictly necessary. Feb in northern PA can be really cold, so that's the plan. We'll only be a few miles from civilization and will have a couple of well outfitted Jeeps, so if things go sideways we'll be able to pack up and get out without trouble, but the plan is to tough it out unless we have an equipment failure that can't be field repaired.
