Here are a few things coming down the pipe this year.

Inner half nests for 6 and 8 person Tipi's: These allow a bit more flexibility with conditions, and may help get the significant other on board as well.

SXL Titanium stove: I really , really like this stove. It's of our traditional box design, with lighter side walls for easy assembly (not in a U turn style variation). It is dimensioned a bit closer to our XL stove, but not as tall. This allows very good size wood to be added which moderates the burn and allows for a long burn cycle. Since it is shorter, it is suitable in small shelters like the LBO and in larger shelters like an 8 man. The weight of the assembled stove itself is close to 25 ounces and it provides almost 1200 CI of burning capacity.

Lil Bug Out updates: Cuben fiber Lil Bug outs. These are lightweight. a base on my scale was 10.2 ounces.

Paradox Packs: Added 3900 and 6300 CI packbags in roll top configuration. Gun hook, Pocketed top lid and a few other small items.

I'll post more photos in the coming days.

Pics and prices would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few. Cuben LBO , Sod skirt and Vent are included with the LBO now. Cuben pricing we are still working on . The base bug out in Sil, with a sod skirt and vent increased to $205.


SXL Stove. Note, for testing we used some parts (top and bottom) of a 3 yr old XL stove. We figured that would accelerate usage. This explains a non new and shiny photo. Priced $389


We also have the DST tarp. This was designed in conjunction with Dick and Yote Robertson. Yote used it last year on Ultimate Survival Alaska as well as guiding.


I'll get some of the other photos up shortly.

I'm so excited. ... Like a kid in a candy store!!!!!

I know Yote has some pics of that tarp in action. I'll hit him up.

Looking forward to photos of the pocketed pack lid.

Kevin, will you guys be bringing all the new stuff to to the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers Rendezvous?

http://www.backcountryhunters.org/index.php/rendezvous-general

We will be there, and have some of the products

Here is a new bundle special we have as well as a few changes.

8 Person Silver Half Nest (Inner Tent) Bundle






This tent is wood stove capable, so it's a great way to have a tent that works as a late season heated shelter and a summer time camping shelter.

This comes with an aluminum pole.

Currently, you can save $125.00 on this configuration through May 31st.

On it's own without the nest it still is only 9.5 lbs, so its not bad split between a couple guys or if you can borrow snubbies pack goats

And this brings me to some slight changes. We are now offering 6 and 8 person tents with an aluminum pole as standard. A carbon pole is still available as an add on option and we should be in stock on these again in a few weeks. The way it works with the carbon pole, is the adjuster section is used from your aluminum pole, so purchasing the aluminum is required. This will lower the cost of the carbon. This adds a slight amount of weight over the pure carbon, but not much. The new carbon pole configured this way is really nice, and very robust.


Let me know if you have any questions.

Well I was going to purchase your large stove for your May special but I really like that one there, I may have to go that route.

Bump

Kevin, just want to let you know how happy I am with the 6-man tipi that you delivered last month. I've had the tent up once and just completed the 2nd burn of the stove. The package is ready to go elk hunting in Oct. Thanks for your help!

Glad you are enjoying it

Summer Updates

You can also enter to win our new little tent. Details are in the post above.

That little two-man looks like a slightly larger SL-3. An SL3 is about as good as it gets for one guy and a stove, considering weight, wind-resistance, and ease of setup.

Why two doors though?

TAK

Sizing wise, that would be accurate, add in a sod skirt. The wind performance is probably a fair amount better, although the SL3 does pretty well.

Two doors, easier for two people , and allows a lot of different set up options and more venting when needed. You will see when I post more photos in the next few days of some of the options two doors allows. It is far more flexible than an SL3. I know , a lot of people want a point product, but IMO, a product that can be pitched more open if need be, or pitched weather tight has a lot of advantages. Sometimes, real estate dictates pitch.

Why the ten post requirement?

That kept me from doing it.

I curious as to the stove/stove jack's orientation in relation to the opposing doors. I guess the pics will tell all

There are several ways to do it. It should be noted that a stove jack will be an add on. This should be seen as more of a compliment to our other hot tents.

Regarding dual zippers, we view them as having several advantages.

- If you are sleeping two , there is no need to crawl over one another or around to exit. This is particularly an advantage on wet ground.

- If it is windy, you can alway use the exit on the non windy side

- Ventilation , and therefore potentially less condensation issues, although above timberline etc condensation is pretty rare if there is a good breeze (which there almost always is).

- Pitch flexibility. Once again more photos will tell the story here, but you gain a lot more traditional tarp flexibility if weather is pretty stable , and have the option of nailing it down in bad weather.


10 post requirement, well we would like some involvement, discussion and feedback. It's a minimal requirement, and common on forum give aways. It's also a reward for those that contribute.
