Brilliant photos, not too big at all! I'm getting a clear sense of how much family room you get in the 9. And the ambience in there seems great as well.

Nice tarp deployment by the way.

So ... I am now the intrepid owner of a Tentipi Varrie 9, which I am looking forward to taking into the woods sometime soon. As soon as I've got some coherent thoughts on it, stories, or photographs to share, I will do so. Thanks again for all your friendliness and advice, I really appreciate it.

You can put the firebox/stove in a metal dog cage. If you have a stove you put the door uppermost so that the pole/chimney goes through. Or you can get a metal puppy playpen to put round it. This works for dogs too. Probably wouldn't have thought of it except that dogs were my problem so I had these things to hand.

Forgot to say that if you think the crate/playpen would still be too hot for an unthinking toddler you can pack fireblanket around the sides.

I have a varrie/safir 9CP and it's lovely... the only thing it does not offer, that many of the modern "pod" tent designs do is privacy... not a problem generally but if your kids go to sleep early and you want to stay up for a bit, you have to be very very quiet in a tipi.
