Mega Horn and Camo Twin Peak

[Podcast Bob]

I've got a couple of items taking space here which may be of interest to everybody this side of Xmas. I know they are very popular with this community so I thought I would offer them here first.

One is a used Luxe Mega Horn, which is complete and in good condition apart from a 12 inch rip in the snow skirt (the bit below the lower edge of the tent) which can be cut off, repaired or just tied out of the way. £100

The other is a Luxe Camo Twin Peaks, which is huge and ideal for small groups or families. It is complete and as new but it doesn't come with poles, so will need either to cut two staffs, or a pair of walking poles. Normally these are £230+ but again just £100.

I'll ship these within the UK via FedEx at £7.50 so you can have them without delay. If there's no takers here I'll pass them onto eBay in the next few days.

Is this the original Horn, with simple vent and four guy-line points, or the improved version with better vent and eight guy-line points?

Hi bob, would it be possible to fit a wood burning stove to the mega horn?

Thanks

The Mega Horn is the current model which is for sale at full price on backpackinglight.co.uk

As to putting a stove inside, I have no experience of trying it, but I would love to discuss it with people who have done inside a nylon tent to tell me what you need and how it works out as I get that question all the time.

I've not heard of a Stove Jack until now, so can these be sewn into any material for a stove or are there limits?

This looks like something for me to explore in greater detail.

Hi Bob,

The Mega Horn will easily take a stove either through the centre opening:

or via a stove jack. There's plenty of info on the net:

It's a BCUK forum posting too

Is the material fire resistant though bob?

I guess that's the first thing that needs to be figured out before thinking about fitting a stove in one.

But it is a bargain for that price!!

Cheers

I would think sewing in a stove jack would be easy to do. You would need to check whether the top hat on the megahorn can be left in place with a flue through it. The guff lists it as removable but you wouldnt want to completely remove it. Bob would also need to confirm its fire retarded nylon. This wont stop you getting holes but it will stop ignition of your sleeping quarters

edit: Jacko too quick for me

Thanks for the info.
On backpackinglight, I saw this:

It does have a removable chimney for those who wish to consider some kind of heating stove.

I think I've seen a picture showing a stove pipe coming out through the vent (unless I'm confusing it with the 5m Deluxe Bell Tent that I was also looking at this afternoon...
