For me, wifey, two kids or me a mate and lots of kit im happy with the space in the 4 to 6

 

[Shewie]

Just been having another squizz at your pics, I reckon the 4-6 is plenty big enough

[Shewie]

Yup

Just asked Tony for a price including floor and FM discount

 

[Andy BB]

Ah! Yes sorry, tent in a vlight stuff sack weighs 2.5kg , central pole weighs 500g , pegs x20 + top midge net in stuff sack 500g, so not so bad , 3.5kg for a six man lavvo. You could of course bin the pole if going to a wood rich area, the pegs are the large v snow stakes, I will be swapping these out for some hillibeg light weights when funds allow for use not on snow.

Is this a lightweight version of the Bergans 4-6 man on the Woodlore site (http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/927-Bergans-Lavvo-S-4-6-Person-Tipi-Tent/)?

Nope exactly the same one,

 

[Andy BB]

Looks like ol Ray was being a bit pessimistic with his weight figures then - either that or he supplies a really heavy stuff-sack!

 

[Retired Member southey]

Maybe it was weighed with the floor and mosy door

 

[Retired Member southey]

the Bergans site themselves show it at 5.4kg I weight mine on kitchen scales zeroed but not calibrated by the government

Not according to his website - 4.9kg for basic lavvo, pole, mossie-net in ceiling, pegs and stuff-sack. He sells the floors separately for 95 quid, at 1.1kg.

Okay

 

[Retired Member southey]

Are you attempting some kind of thing here chap

 

[Andy BB]

Have you checked out the Wiglo on the Bergans website? Weird! http://bergans.com/products/default...D=6051&ml1=7&ml2=&t=Wiglo™ 6 - 10 Person Tent

?? I simply asked if you'd bought a lightweight version of the Bergans Laavo, as you'd quoted a much lighter weight than the standard one I'd read about.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Hahahahahaha okay fella

I much prefere the simplicity of me hammock...

But I agree with others, that looks a quality bit of kit! (I bet you are praying for snow now )
