Without porch or inner tent
With porch
These babies were being shown at The Wilderness Gathering by a company based up nr Northampton.
The T6 in Hemp cotton is priced at £600 ex delivery. It comes with a full inner tent/groundsheet and the porch for that price: so if you are looking for a tipi this is extremely good value.
- It sleeps 6
- Tipi & inner weigh about 50 lbs
- porch comes in a separate bag and weighs about 20lbs
- Outer can be pitched in less than 15 mins
- porch can be put on in about 15 mins
- Is available in a recycled polyester material also (with inner & porch for £650)
- this company only uses recycled/green materials to make its products
- tipi has taped seams and becomes properly weather tight once it has been rained on and then dried outdoors - au natural so to speak.
- can be used with a fire bowl or similar. Would suggest burning charcoal. Open rim of top hat vent and one of upper side vents to create up-draught to remove any smoke. Warm and cosy though
- the top hat can be snugged down to keep all heat in/rain etc out.
I think this is a top product, I have looked at several different designs before picking this one. When you add in the inner & porch it is really excellent value for money.
The porch is truely cavernous, you could loose a whole army of bushcrafters in it
Green have more facts, figures & pics on their website http://www.greenoutdoor.co.uk/
I haven't yet had a proper sleep out in this yet as I have only just bought it, but will post that in the next couple of weeks. I have used it in windy conditions at a local outdoor show. It behaved impeccably!
hope this is of interest
