[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1098770, member: 41338"] I don't have a Sawtooth but the one I have is kind of like it. I often use a riding mule with saddle paniers to pack my gear in and I walk. I usually don't go more than a few miles in to set up camp. Once I drop the gear and set up camp, I can saddle the mule and ride to where I hunt. I think the tipi and stove might be a little heavy and take up a fair amount of space in your pack if you intend to go solo very far in. If your rifle isn't a howitzer and you can eliminate some non-essentials and your in good shape, sure, one guy can do it but if you get an animal down, getting it and your gear out can be a real grind. With two guys you can split the load and it makes more sense. I don't know anything about the mega tarp. I just use a regular tarp and some cordage when I spike. Unless the mega tarp can be converted to a tent like structure, I don't really see the point of taking a tent stove to use with it but those who use it may disagree. If things get nasty, your going to want somewhere warm and dry to ride it out in and a tarp as my only option sounds like wishful thinking unless it's in the middle of the summer and even then... If I was going solo and hiking a fair ways back, I think I'd be inclined to leave the stove at home and carry a compact, light tent. [/QUOTE]
