Tipi Tents
A tipi tent has an amazing space to weight ratio, and the conical shape sheds high winds equally well from any direction. Adding a wood stove allows you to cold weather camp in comfort. Our tipi shelters make great backcountry hunting tents, cold weather camping tents, and rafting tents. Our gear is used from the far north to the far south, and as far east as the Mongolian highlands. We are good at what we do, and our gear reflects or pride and commitment to craftsmanship.
We offer a variety of sizes of tipi tents, pyramid tents, and backpacking tents. Our customers use our gear in very harsh conditions in remote parts of the world, so our focus is on building quality.
Quality has three parts - Design, Craftsmanship, and Materials.
Design
Design goes beyond looks, shape, and function, and encompasses fabric qualities and craftsmanship. Design brings out the strength in fabrics and removes the weakness, and preferably makes it efficient to sew.
Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship is very important, and we are lucky to make all of our gear in-house, and to have extremely gifted and experienced sewers on staff. We are really good at sewing, and when you see our gear you can tell it just by looking.
Materials
The material dramatically affect a products performance, so we use the best materials we can source. Our tent fabrics are usually twice as waterproof as most off the shelf tents. We don't cut corners on fabrics.
Durability
Our camping tipis feature a traditional conical shape and use modern ultralight materials. Due to the conical shape, our tipis handle wind from any direction equally well. These tipi shelters offer a tremendous amount of covered space for the weight, and are very easy to set up compared to a traditional canvas wall tent. These tipis withstand high winds very well, and with a little maintenance do very well in the snow as well.
Floorless Tents:
We get a lot of questions about floorless tents....what about bugs, snakes, mud??? Lets start with the reasons that floorless tents are compelling - size to weight ratio, and ease of living. Without a floor you can have a very large shelter at a light weight. It also allows you to have a tent stove. Floorless tents are also cleaner in bad weather. When it's raining you can walk in with muddy boots and not worry...try doing that with a bathtub floor.
For muddy conditions, use a sheet of tyvek to protect your sleeping area. For bugs or other creepy crawlies a nest is a great option.
