Looking into the hot tent combo 6 man tipi. The nest option sleeps how many? Also, if using the nest, can others still sleep around the stove and nest, have too many creepy crawlers in Arizona to deal with? Living in Arizona and getting rain/humidity any other options to help combat some condensation? Also, this tipi will be used in Colorado and Montana hunting trip in November with 3 guys and I assume taking the nest out would be best?

I did quite a bit of research prior to making my purchase, so I'll add to what I think about this.

The 6 person has a half nest option which means technically it could sleep 3, although I bet it would be tight, particularly if you have more than 2 people, gear, and a stove. That being said, from what I've seen/heard you should be able to use a nest and stove together.

The nest will be your best protection from insects/ground etc. A liner will be best to handle condensation. I live in the Pacific Northwest and just went with a half liner. This just creates a double wall essentially allowing you to sleep drip free. A stove should also help with condensation. If you want full protection, purchasing 2 half liners would then cover your whole tent.

My opinion and my opinion only the nests maximize sleeping room within the nest by somewhat reducing the condensation factor. This is assuming flat ground or flat enough for sleeping ( you know sometimes you just don't get flat contiguous ground). I think 3 work in a half nest in a 6 without being to bad . People have a tendency to sprawl differently floor less / single wall
