SotP Group buy – Norwegian Lavvu tents & stoves

[ggfh666]

Since these come without inner tent, I was wondering about using a mosquito net as inner tent.
Especially when going to Scandinavia this is a must, if you don't have the inner tent.

Good point - SHMBLT was wondering about the Mozzy situation in a Lavvu

Is an Inner Tent/Mozzy net available for these Lavvus??

Ooo, I'd so like to have one of these, nice big one, stove snowing outside.....Maybe one day!!

 

[Bigman]

I'm considering this size need to sleep 2 adults and my son who is six. SHMBLT wants the extra space to be able to cook/prep food etc and it would be great to have the space just to chill out and make things bushcrafty.

I have two expeditions planned and booked for next year but in 2008 I want to do a summers-worth of travelling through Norway, Sweden etc prolly take 9 countries and have a big comfy tent with a stove really appeals to us. I'd prefer to have too much space than too little and as this adventure requires a lot of driving the weight aspect is of no importance.

Looks like we will buy the same as you

Cheers,

Phil.

I have been after a Teepee style tent for some time because I am fed up with trying to srcamble into a tent on my hands and knees.

I am not into hiking around anymore with a bergen on my back because simply I cannot do this anymore.

I have a trailer so carrying a tent like this is not a problem.

I wanted something that had a generous amount of room plus I would be able to stand up in.

And the most important thing is a stove to keep the coffee hot on.

Tundra 4 please, no groundseet

 

[meanderer]

To throw in my ha'pennorth...

There will be 3 or 4 of us camping and I'm going for a Tundra 8. The feeling of height and space in the 16 was amazing but the 8 is only a metre less in diameter and just as high.

They can all be put up single-handed and although we cooked (for 6) on a primus the stove boiled up the kettle pretty quickly and the new style stove (as being supplied) has room for two pans I'm told.

If you're not planning on carrying it far, go big, the space is wonderful!

CraigM9 - I'll probably start to firm things up around the weekend so we can have 'em for Christmas... Keep an eye on the thread.

Cheers

for those interested, I've inquired about inner tents :

Hello! We do not jet have innertents. We are working to get it made,
but
we have no idea before spring 2007 when it can be made. Not many
customers are asking for it. If you are considering to by a Tundra
tent,
it is 185 g cotton/polyester per m2 - and you do not need a innertent
if
it's not extremely cold. Because it is so much cotton there is no
problem with condense either.

Thanks for that ggfh666. It reinforces the lack of condensation in the Tundras and answers the question regarding the need for an inner tent in a Tundra too.
However, it would be good to see some sort of mozzy netting behind the door.

A friendly note: As this is Meanderers group buy it would be a good idea to contact him before approaching the manufacturer.

Cheers, Andy

 

[meanderer]

Fear not Mr Rimps....

Twas me that gave ggfh666 the contact details. I do not claim 'ownership' of the Bison Telt contact and all are at liberty to get in touch - this is after all an expensive item for group buy so everyone must satisfy themselves as to what they're buying!

That said... It's nice to feel protected....

Cheers

[Mr_Rimps]

Cool...as longs as we're all happy
(We mid summer boys stick together.. )

Apologies ggfh666 for jumping to conclusions.

 

[ggfh666]

No problem Andy.

 

[Squidders]

Me too... although, looking back, ordering a tundra 16 was a little... well.... overkill!

It's a little on the big size

[paulcd]

Hi

Am new to group buy...how do we conclude? PCD

Sorry - may be slow on the uptake here/missed something. Does this mean that you already have one of Bison's tipis - If so, how do you rate it?

Rich

 

[Squidders]

It's here but I haven't had the chance to unpack it all yet, I'm hoping to have a good look this weekend but we'll see what happens.

I'll take some photos of it when I do though... it's 6m diamiter and 3.5m high

i'm out in the woods with it on the 24th, 25th & 26th so i'll check it out fully then

Hey, Squidders. That's one hell of a tent!

I did camp in a Tinde 16 and was VERY tempted but, like you say, 'tis massive.

I hope you get it all unpacked over the weekend as I (and many others) would be really keen to hear your first impressions. I thought that the quality of the Tinde was good but have not seen a Tundra in the flesh - and that's what I'll be getting for myself.

I shall be confirming interest and finalising the order over the weekend and next week so an early report from you about yours would be MUCH APPRECIATED!

Did you get a stove as well or are you going to use a firebox?

Hope to hear soon.

Paulcd - I'm fairly new to group buys too.....

Current plan is that the offer rounds up during next week and I divide the import carriage by the final numbers and get a fixed (within reason) price. Then it's members cheque book time and then I order the whole lot - over £5K at the moment

I'm still chasing a photo of the Tundra 8 but it could be the one on this datasheet - but I think that may be a 4.

I will add you to the 'interested' list as an 8 and confirm soon.

Cheers
