So, how much?

how much you got?

Good looking tipi

actually been in the works of a new stove through a guy out on the west coast. we both built prelim prototypes and he is developing it for sale. when it is ready, i will get it set up in one of my tipis (probably late march or april) and list it on the website. many a shed antler will be picked up on multi day trips this spring while using the combined tipi and his stove. also been using the Kelly kettle alot and that will be going along as well.

Kifaru not withstanding Smokepole is right. I have never had water leak though any correctly sealed Sil tarp, poncho or tent. Nice looking tipi!

well that's good because i just bought a roll of 1.1 oz. silnylon. digital camo. pattern. lucked into that one because i've never even heard of it before yesterday. i bought the lot.

Do you really want to hide your tent?? I like to choose bright colors generally that stick out making it easier to find them in poor weather visibility or darkness. Just a thought.

i like camo

Sil poncho,
sil pack cover
sil pockets for pack
sil backpack
all would be good in camo

I would be trying to buy some of that off of you if I just didn't buy a bunch of silnylon in black.

this roll of fabric will be going towards an 11 ft. diameter by 5 ft. 10 inch center height single door tipi with stovejack, stakes and stuffsack. no centerpole. the tipi complete with the stovejack will be priced at 375.00 shipped.

i bought enough fabric for nearly 20 tents.

I like old school woodland but that sure looks great as well. The only times I might have an issue finding my tent is at night if forced to do a water run etc. For that I just put the lights on.

Wyo, any idea yet on the price for the dyneema tipi? Tim

single door , regular config. regular stovejack (3 inch)... 985.00

double doors, custom config. custom stovejack... 1100.00

prices include shipping, stakes, stuffsack and centerpole or hiking poles with connector.

no floor, no bugnets

proto dyneema tipi is not for sale.

Me too. I like that fact that two legged varmints can't see me(hopefully)

Quick question, why use a tipi shape instead of the Go-Lite SL 5 shape? 4 corners staked, and you are set. I have never pitched a tipi yet, but they sure look like a hassle, getting that perfect circle setup.

Any idea what that would weigh?

multiple panels equal multiple seams. the seams act as a guyline structure and the more guy lines the better. i think it is a stronger setup than the 4 panel pyramid. the hassel does not exist. a center stake and equal radius measurements to all corners. easy to do with a simple piece of 550 cord marked at the correct radius. i have set them up enough to be able to wing it. it take me 2-3 minutes.

the canopy will weigh around 2 pounds.
stakes and pole will add another pound.

an example of multiple guylines/supports.

the plains indian tipi uses multiple poles. up to 15 or even more. the seams are substitute for the poles with the single center pole tipi. at the end of each pole/ guyline, the tent gets pegged/staked into the ground.

Even a non circle tipi is pretty easy with a setup rope.

square structures don't handle the wind as well.

I have my own thoughts on the vertical seams, we built a few like that. Ours are now sort of hybrid seams. They do help provide structure but there are disadvantages as well.
