Again I don't to appear that I'm trying to push Tentipi as a product but I am more than happy with my purchase. It provides me with everything I need in a tent. I'm hoping to buy the eldfel stove at some point in the future.

Yeah not just a historic idea but a tried and tested design. It's a fairly thick canvas which helps with heat retention.I've been looking into it further and I like the approach and features. I also like that it was built on a design with a history.

I have this tent for family trips, and then an REI Quarter Dome for solos or 2-person trips. Both are excellent in my opinion.I went with a rei kingdom 6. How much space do you need? Bought it for $500 plus got the garage to go with it and a footprint. Very nice tent. Well made I think. I believe Mr. Overland bound himself had a rei in the beginning. Saw it in his one video.![]()

I have been using an REI 3 person Dome for about 20 years or so, it looks very similar in looks the 3rd tent in this picture without the fly. It has been all sorts of places with me, and in all sorts of conditions. Rain, Hurricane Hugo residual winds in New Mexico, Alaskan and Pacific NW rain for a week at a time, Sandy beaches, desert sand and heat ... name it.. it has been an excellent value. I had to reseal the seams a few years back on a flooded river rafting trip, always use a footprint and the fly. I still love it and it keeps on ticking, believe it or not, it still looks almost new baring some faded color. Just a few weeks ago I found a lightly used OzTent on craigslist.. going to give it a go for overlanding and see how that works out. I do have to say the Oz is not cheap, is friggen heavy and has absolutely nothing going for it in the packed up department. But set up it seems pretty dang neat.I've had my rei 1-2 man tent for years and it's still great. I think if you have a good sleeping bag (0 degree +-) it don't matter much. My friends wake up cold while I'm nice and cozy!

Yup I've had mine probably 20yrs. Looks great inside but the fly not so great. Funny I worked on boats after hurricane Hugo and lived In New Mexico where camping was where you placed your tent. A little more challenging in socal, they got laws against that!

I like the pic. where was it taken?We love our Safari Bow tent, but it's not small or lightweight tent when packed. However, it is strong and stands up to all weathers. View attachment 22657
