I have a hard time packing my winter soeeping bag , foam mattress and inflatable mattress and my small winter tent when going bikepacking. Hot tenting intrigues me although so far with my type of trips I arrive, set up the tent and stuff, cook, make a hot water bottle to warm up my sleeping bag and it is time to sleep.

with hot tenting I think I would have to tow a sled (i do have a rig for it) , choose trails without much elevation (Petit Témis comes to mind) and stop to camp a little earlier to have enough time to gather wood. I do like the luxury of melting snow without the penalty of wasting fuel and the opportunity to better dry my layers if necessary.
