Andrew, outdoorcode has lavvu's for sale, they might be the ones you are looking for.

That's a tentipi 'kåta'. They're very nice, but also very expensive! The canvas ones are a better bet for our climate, unless you're looking for a backpacking solution.

hi there, you can get the teppe for cheaper than 350 here....

what you are wanting is the vagge model and it retails for 319 on this site, getting it from ebay for 350 is a rip off.

I came upon this site in German:
http://www.feuerzelte.de./

click on "KULTALAVVU & more" button at the top of the page.

They have a Lavvu (Lapp version of the tipi) for sale for 258 euros. Delivery to Ireland is euro 12.20
The big thing is you can light a fire in them. Made in Lapp Finland , they are single poled.

I translated the most important information:

"Weight 1.3 g (1.1 kg without pole telescopic central pole)
Dimensions: 2.24 M high 2.4 M wide

Space to sleep up to 3 persons (with fire and gear)
Up to 8 people can sit at the fire

Pack dimensions: 30 x 19 x 12 cm

Soldier of Fortune sell the Exped TipiTarp which is probably what your looking for - it's not the one in the Mears book, but it looks pretty good.

i cant see that one very well but it looks like its single layer

Yeah, it's just a single skin, but there is masses of room inside, and it could easily take a lifesystems midge net (i'm thinking of the bell-dome type), or one by another brand.

'Twas just a thought....
