The Hercules is not a backpacking tent, but if you want a base camp, bushcraft home or family 4 season luxury base then, this is ideal for you.
It is a huge freestanding 8-person dome shaped winter tent. It was designed with space and function in mind. Hot tents are becoming more and more popular so this space is complimented by the ability to add a suitable wood stove providing heat and camp cooking.
Being a 4 season waterproof tent, it provides protection against rain, wind and snow. This shelter has a capacity of 8 without a stove and maybe more 6 max with. As the interior has vertical walls and a 2m max headroom it is perfect for those who want to stand and stretch. With 3 doors you can always get in and out away from the wind.
The floor is clipped in place which makes it easy to remove corners and fold them back when using a stove or for any other reasons.

Stove Jack Included
The Hercules Winter Tent comes with a stove jack and integrated rain cover, so that the pipe from a wood stove can exit a vent in the livable area of the tent.
This replaceable stove jack port is super versatile! It is a 36cm x 26cm rectangle made of cuttable silicone fiberglass fabric (not seam sealed), built in rain door, so that you can seal the hole when it is not in use, so that your tent stays weatherproof. Suggested chimney diameter no greater than 12cm/5" without pipe heat shield.
Designed to fit almost every tent wood stove on the market today. You can run a straight stove pipe up the center, which blocks a door, but leaves 2 usasable doors (with no second rainfly on), and using a tent protector sleeve.
Clip in floor
The Hercules can stand-alone as a floorless shelter, but there is an option to clip in the included floor if you choose. This provides full ground cover, or it can be tucked partially away if you wish to burn a wood stove.
