Pointy Tent Suggestions

[Klenchblaize]

So, I have the following Bushcraft compliant kit to permit woodland access without shame:‎

Alan Wood knife
Folding saw
Folding Firebox ‎
Canvas pack
Campaign hat‎
Alpaca socks‎
Russell moccasins ‎
Ray Mears endorsed wool underwe‎ar‎
Ray Mears endorsed trousers with reinforced knees
BCUK hoody (ordering this Weekend)‎
Buff merino wool neck tube‎
‎Bison Bushcraft shirt‎
Swandri jacket
‎Land-Rover Defender
‎
Other than a newer model outdoor-friendly chick to while away the cold nights, the only piece of kit I need to complete the 'look' is a pointy tent.   What then are my options if other than splashing the cash on a Tentipi?

I would like one that has plenty of room for two people so figure a 6-person should do the trick and it must be of a green or brown hue.   

Cheers

Soul Pad 5m bell tent with sewn in groundsheet ......big heavy brute of a thing to carry but can be put up by one person in 15 minutes. ( only comes in white though )

Cotton or nylon? That could have some influence on stove choice if you go that route, and where you intend to use it, soft wood sparks from camping in plantations have put a few holes in my Bergans nylon tipi

There used to be some Bison poly cotton ones knocking around a few years back, they always had a decent rep and half the price of a Tentipi

Seek Outside are worth a look if you want to save some weight, nice stove combos

I have none of those (Except the folding saw, but its a Silky)

I am shameless.

I'm sure Bison Bushcraft could make you a woodland Summer kilt which would be a start.

5m is big, very big. I have the 4m, it houses the two of us comfortably with room to walk about. I'm really glad I didn't get the 5m. Mine came from Obelink, slipped through the system. Handy, over £140 saved over Souldpad and Belltent UK prices which hold a monopoly on these tents.

With poles and pegs, they weigh a lot.

Bergans 4-6 man is a bushcraft favorite


Heres mine (pitched in the dark in high winds lol)

Or if you are going to carry it, dont mind nylon and so dont need to put a stove in it, a Go lite shangrimla or whatever they call it now, sleeps two, light, easy to put up.
Just a thought.

Unfortunately go-lite is no more. i think the various luxe hex peaks are the nearest thing nowadays.

My go-lite Shangri-la 5 has plenty of room for two. Had two in and a wood burner.
