Pitch Instructions:

For detailed pitching instructions please read our detailed Pitch Instructions.

SEAM SEALING:  

For detailed instructions on how to seal your Tipi, including detailed photos, read Tipi Seam Sealing Step by Step Guide

For best results we recommend seam-sealing your tent.  You can do it at home or have us do it for you (adds up to 1 week)(if we seal the shelter it will be shipped without extra tubes of sealant):

To learn how to seal your shelter the correct way, read our Seam Sealing Instructions.

Seam Sealing Service

• The 12 Person includes enough seam sealer to seal the entire tipi with a tube left over.  
• Seal the outside seams, but do it from the inside - pitching the tipi inside out allows you to reach all of the seams.  
• The easy way to seal is to run a thin bead of sealant along the seam, then press it in with a finger, wiping the excess on a paper towel.
• Alternatively, you can use an acid brush from a hardware store to spread the sealant.

INTRO TO HOT TENTS:

The most common questions we get about hot tents are:

• How do you not burn the tent down?  
• The stove jack is a high temp fiberglass material rated to several thousand degrees.  The tent material never touches the hot pipe.  You can get pinholes from floating embers, but a small dab of silicone seals the pinhole and doesn't hurt the shelter.
• How does a floorless shelter work in wet weather?
• Really darn well.  Don't pitch in a depression obviously, but the ground inside dries out quickly, and it's super convenient to just walk in with muddy shoes (or dogs) and not worry about getting your floor dirty.
• What about condensation?
• It's single wall, there will be condensation in some conditions.  Liners help a lot, as do stoves.  Mostly you just have to learn to manage it.  Read 5 Ways to Manage Condensation in Seek Outside Tents
• What about carbon monoxide?
• It's truly not a concern.  We include a peak vent, plus the shelter will draw air through the zipper and under the sod skirt.  If you're still concerned, leave a door unzipped 8" or so at the bottom to allow more venting.
