Yes mate, im planning my easter exped. wife is of to Somerset with the mother in law so ive got some free time on my hands and wanted to make good use of it
You can get four in the Vihe Loue II ~ head in, feet out, tallest in the middle and, if in doubt, use a bivi bag to keep the bottom end of your mat and bag dry
If using long guys it can be a smart move to use guys which can be seen day ...
... and night
Guy lines and the Loues guy loops dry faster if separated. Tying and untying the guys is a PITA and I'd considered getting some additional Alpkit mini carabiners ...
... and then, taking an idea from hammock slinging techniques, I thought ~ STICKS!
Easier than 1,2,3!

Alpstick Glad to see you survived the weekend
Just :yikes: ~ I started to loose my voice* two hours short of the finish. No real surprise when you put 1,500 people through an activity base in 7 hours.
* And no, it didn't stop me telling jokes!
Now that is a neat idea Phil
Cheers chaps ~ like any simple idea, it can take a while for the penny to drop
.A 3x3m tarp in several of the flying diamond configurations will give a (very) rough approximation ~ as will something like ...

I'm thinking about buying one of these Loue shelters for the winter months. I tend to go out to the woods on my own so just need a shelter to sleep under and create a bit of sheltered space for working next to the fire.
I'm pushed towards the Loue I but reading this post and looking at the pictures below suggests the Loue II would be better just for the extra space? What are everyone's opinion on them after a few years use and the pitched size?
Woodlore sell them but I've found a couple of different brands and it's cheaper direct from Scandinavian. Cheers

Yes, I know this is an old thread. And I hope my part in resurecting is allowed/accepted.
But I see the one or the two as about perfect for what I do. I actually searched here recently. Didn't find much so I started a thread asking questions. This thread rocks.
How do they handle snow loads?
And obviously prevailing winds are a huge factor in set up.
I actually set my 3x3 (10x10) up on a Christmas Eve outing to mimic the Loue.
Complete with Finnish Gap Fire,
I think the Loue would present a real cozy atmosphere with this in front of it.
