KNOTS:  

Read Knots You Should Know to learn our favorite ways of rigging cordage to perform tasks.  The most common tasks you'll need to do are:

• Putting a Prusik On The Pole to pitch a nest or rig a dryline for hanging gear. 
• Tying guyline or mainline to a tree or branch. 
• Connecting line to a guyout. 
• Tying off to a stake. 

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 one 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 16 Person includes enough 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.

COMES WITH:

• Shelter canopy
• Stove jack with rain flap
• Aluminum Pole - 7 sections
• NEW For 2021: We now send this tent with 15 twisted stakes and 15 standard stakes.
• Enough seam sealer to seal the shelter (If you pay us to seal it it will not come with sealer)
