I ran onto this site "googling" Tipi tarps and I have to say that i love your guys disccusions! I can't tell you how many of these conversations I have had with my buddies over a beer or around a fire.
My questions is this, Is there a significant differance in set up time and getting everything sturdy between a square tipi (mega light) or a hexagon (shangra la) or an oval like the titanium goat. They all seem to have their own fans here. I have buddies that have ti goat tipis and the are great, if you find a nice 10 foot circle and get every stake set perfect. I am sure this is a common issue but I have heard that the square is much easier and I have not heard if the hexagon is more like the square or the oval in set up time.
