I'm reluctantly selling my Helsport Varanger Lavvu. The tent is complete with pole, stove, inner, drying rail, pegs and floor.
This tent is in very good condition and has always been looked after. It has always been dried and aired after use.
It has no holes rips tears or repairs.
Sold
Pick up from Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham area. Or arrange your own courier thanks.
Outer Tent
The outer has been slightly modified by taking off Helsport's guy runners and replacing them with Line-loc guy runners which don't slip and are easier to adjust, particularly with gloves.
Inner Tent
The inner hasn't been used much. It does reduce the internal space, but in cold winters makes it a cosy place to be.
Pole
Alloy sectional pole with bungee'd end caps and nylon bag
Stove
This is Helsport's original tent stove in mild steel and not the newer stainless version. It has several slot together sections and a heat sleeve for where the chimney exits the tent. It is still in good condition with minor cosmetic surface corrosion
It is supplied in a strong nylon bag. It has been cleaned and wiped down with veg oil after use to protect the metal during storage (It does make the outside of the stove smoke slightly when used again, but not a major problem)
It has enough slot together chimney sections to fit the Varanger 4/6 or the 8/10. This keeps the tent VERY warm. Only a small amount of wood is needed to heat the tent space.
Floor
Coated nylon groundsheet with a velcro 'T' so that it can be rolled back away from the stove.
Pegs
Lots of original pegs together with several Alpkit 'Spikes' used to peg out the main outer tent.
Drying rail
Nylon rod drying rail that clips in to the top of the tent for airing and drying gear. Especially effective when using the stove.
(Dogs not included
)
Everything else is frozen except the tent.
-15 outside, +25 inside.
