If I bought another tipi, I think I"d almost go 12 man...
As to wind, I doubt mine has ever been in anything beyond 60 mph but it was fine in that wind.

Good info.
Are your thoughts on a 12-man based on having the 8-man? If so, I'm interested in your opinions/experiences with the 8 man, and where it seemed too small.
I'm thinking for two people, cots, chairs, table, woodstove, some room for firewood, and move a little bit. This is for camping near the truck, so backpack-ability is not much of a concern. Kind of a wall tent replacement, easier to set up, and wind worthy.
