Optimus or Primus (no transformers content!)??

Tentipi, nice, but I won't be spending part of my pension lump sum on one, no need in the UK really...

It's all about comfort mate. I'm not one for backpacking these days really and a big tipi offers unparalleled comfort. Proper airflow means a wood stove can be used safely in one and there is room to stand, room for a cot and matress and room for chairs ....and a double gas burner and bottle. Luxury.

I agree mate, but, Vango Juno 800. Heat Pal marine heater, two cot beds, table, two chairs and all for £175 tops, how much was your Tentipi.

If it makes you happy then buy the kit, don't matter an ounce to me

Havent bought it yet Rick, but I am saving me pennies. I've looked at them many times and while people rave about them, I have always been put off by the cost. Last camping trip I was on, one of the lads had one, a Safir 7....

(that's me in the middle & those are my M320's too)

I was well impressed. It's difficult to explain, but for want of a better word, the internal "ambience" was spot on for me.

Good stove, massive output for size but the tank is small so you get something like a boil then a simmer for around 40 mins.

One I made earlier

Wow, I'd hang on to yours Rick, that one on ebay went for £387.

I've got two, one user and one in a box, the boxed one will be on eBay in the New Year.
