It seems like there should be a market for a good tipi selling for less than SO or Kifaru. My SO 8 man held up to a serious AK wind/rain storm last Sept on a fly in. We had a little backup tent along, but I was still a bit worried. This year the new little backup is a Hilleberg, which I consider life insurance.

Coincidentally, my tipi is set up in the yard right now, I’m gonna try out a new bag and test the stove tonight with several fuel options. It’s still cold enough here in MI to put them to the test.
