    OVERVIEW:

    The Redcliff is a pyramid / tipi hybrid suitable for sleeping 3 - 6 adults. Capable of using a nest on each end or liners, the Redcliff easily adapts to every season. With its rectangular footprint the Redcliff pitches faster than a tipi and its angular panels shed weather better than a plain pyramid.  A steep, symmetrical profile and integrated sod skirts further enhance weather resistance.  The Redcliff is equally at home as a base camping shelter while hunting, or a ultralight backpacking shelter when shared by a larger group. This is one of the lightest 6 person tents on the market and the lightest 6 person hot tent.

    This item is currently only offered in limited drops. Check our social media and newsletter for the next release!

    STOVE INFORMATION FOR DYNEEMA SHELTERS: 

    Dyneema® will not burn or propagate a flame however it does have a lower melting point. Due to the lower melting point, we recommend you do NOT use the anything that inhibits sparks from moving away from your tent such as a rain cap. We also do not recommend burning duraflame logs, or real pitchy wood or accelerants  that can create a lot of soot. Use a spark arrestor. For the Redcliff a slightly longer stove pipe is not a bad idea (such as 8 Ft ) .

    PITCHING:

    The Redcliff is a rectangle based structure and is therefore easy to pitch.

    • Pick your sleeping area and desired door location - this dictates how you pitch the shelter.
    • Stake the four corners in a rectangle, making sure the angles are as square and true as possible.  Do not overstretch the fabric or you will result in a bell shape at the bottom that reduces interior space.
    • Make sure vent is open or closed, stovejack is open or closed, as desired. (Harder to reach once pole is up)
    • Insert the pole and raise the shelter.
    • Stake out the doors.
    • Stake out the seams near the doors.
    • Use the guylines on each end to stabilize and increase interior space.

    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.

    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?
    • 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.
