Hey guys and galls I’m currious as to what shelters your using for a bug out shelter expecially if you up north and due for snow? I have a seekoutside cimmeron with titanium wood stove. I love the system and have slept many night in some bad weather including snow storms. It has kept me warm and dry, tipi and stove weigh in at 7 pounds and I can have it all set up in 15 min.

For my location if I have to leave this is going not the fastest set up to set up/ take down but I can cut weight on my bag and have a fire at night to keep warm. My bug out situation is to get up to my cabin ruffly 140 miles away and depending on the season I don’t think many would make it with out such accommodations so I’m just curious what is your shelter and I guess your sleeping situation if you have to bug out during winter?
 
I have a 12x16 sheepherders canvas tent (wall tent) with an a wood burner stove though diffidently not a back packers tent though an excellent 4 season tent for a drop camp. For bugging out it's a tarp and cordage, I will use whats already out their for structuring for a longer term situation. A tarp is far more robust and multi usage than a tent in a survival situation including bugging out.
 
I have a one man tent, an Ozark Trail backpacker. With one down 3 season bag, and a down top quilt stuffed into the bivvy sack, the tent is good down into the teens. If I only had one sleeping bag, and the bivvy sack, I would prefer a tarp setup so I could a good fire, and some radiant heat. That's the bad part of the tent, I can't get any good fire heat. Really, either way works, and the tent is under 3 pounds, and the tarp is next to nothing, I carry both.

My BOL is a little further away than yours, Averagedude, but not that much further. We would have a similar distance on foot.

Funny. My hammock setup weighs 7 pounds, lol.
 
I just use a couple canvas traps, rope and whatever's available for shelter from the wind and snow. And a couple wool Point blankets wrapped in another canvas tarp for a sleeping bag and I'm fairly comfortable in cold weather.
