Tepee,Millets

Oh, and I now have my own personal crop circle.....

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

So THATS how there made

Ok well I got mine this morning and have seam sealed under the windows.
I must admit it looked pretty well taped but a bit of silicone is not going to hurt!
I've also fabsealed that strip at the bottom.
That pole is pretty heavy though, I think I will lose that and find a wooden replacement when in the woods and actually using the thing in anger!
I'm also going to cut a larger hole in the middle and experiment with having an open fire in there!!! I am tempted by a kifaru wood burning stove now though and have the pipe up through the centre, maybe modified with a kevlar patch through the tent fabric!
I'll post some pics if I actually do this

Be sure to keep us updated, Brendan!

A bit of a bump, and it's currently £45.

How are the problems working out with it please?

 

[Kane]

Anyone managed to buy one on-line - doesn't appear to work at the minute ...

[Kane]

Sorted - one in the post

 

[Singeblister]

I am going to order one as well now

 

[Singeblister]

Online order worked fine for me ,.

Regarding Thompsons waterseal for bricks ,,, has anyone use this stuff on a tent ? and if so did it work ok
I have a big can of it and i thought i could put it in a spray gun and dust over the whole thing with it , does it change the colour or anything .

I have now cut out the floor in mine and should get the medium kifaru stove delivered in a couple of weeks(been waiting almost 3 already!)
Will post pics as soon as I get it setup.

Arrived a couple of days ago - still raining so it hasn't been up yet but I'm hoping for a bit of clear weather over the Bank Holidays (got a couple of days off )

 

[Kane]

Bank Holiday cleared up in time for me to put my back out again but we managed to put it up today, looks good loads of space and the kids love it - going to get some more bits and pieces and have a night out in it to see how the kids take to camping, bit of luck and we may make it into a bushcrafty family lol

 

[Singeblister]

How long did Millets take to deliver the teepi ?
I ordered on the 27th and still nothing

 

[Graham_S]

it's back up to £59 now. the price drop must have been a limited offer.

 

[Toddy]

But that's still cheap.
HWMBLT said that the one he picked up for me had origionally been priced at £99.

Cheers,
Mary

Not especially quick and the e-mail telling you when it was despatched never arrived - tent did though and that's the main thing - probably took around 5 working days or so

 

[Graham_S]

just phoned millets to try and order one. they're out of stock.
it could explain why yours hasn't turned up yet.

 

[Singeblister]

Hope its here for the moot really looking forward to it

 

[Kane]

Kids were heartbroken when it had to come down yesterday - little lad (5) had already picked his sleeping out clothes and my daughter (7) had packed her camping out tin - bodes well for the future lol just need to get the 2 year old into it now heheheh

 

[Womble]

There are 2 seperate teepees available the £99 one is larger in all dimensions except pack size and weight but is covered with the cowboys and indians print.

All over it.

Bah.

I finally got around to proofing mine this weekend - at least all the seams, all the lower (patterned) material and especially around the windows. All I need now is an opportunity to test it in the rain... I'm still considering taking out the groundsheet altogether, it might make the shape a little more symetrical.
