With its conical shape, this tipi is designed to withstand even the most inclement weather conditions, and effectively deflects wind from any direction.

PITCHING:

Put in the primary door stake.
Take the opposite door stake loop and stretch the tipi out taut (not stretched). Decide where you want to sleep or where to place the stove.
Place your hand on the door guyout, fold the fabric towards the opposite door. The guyout is the middle of the fold. The stake loop lands very close to the proper setback. (Setback is 2X distance from guyout to sod skirt below stake loop in door.)
Start setting the seam stake loops next to the doors first, then move from door to door, using the side setbacks.
The recommended setbacks are for a standard no guy out pitch. If you want more space or better snow shedding, move the setbacks in towards the center by 1-2 inches from the recommended setback, raise the pole by an inch, and use the side guy outs.

SEAM SEALING:

To seal the shelter, pitch it normally and seal the outside seams. Note: this is difficult on taller tents
You can run a thin bead of sealant along the seam, press it in with a finger, and wipe away excess on a paper towel.
Alternatively, you can use an acid brush from a hardware store to spread the sealant.
