    We have used a teepee for years that we made ourselves, could sleep 4-5 guys in it. It probably cost 100$ to build, and takes 5 minutes to set up. Stove works great inside, and they are bombproof for rain. Drawback is they are very long, and they need a very flat site to set up right. We also built these things for a wilderness kids camp that we run, and the kids love em.

    I just got my Outfitter Tipi Tent from the Greyhound yesterday. It was 899.00 plus tax but Alpine paid the shipping which I thought was pretty cool. I will set it up and take some pics next week so you can get a feel for how big they are etc.

    I picked one up at the show also. I have used it for a week and it preformed great. I was going to get the Cabelas pole style tent. As it has a little more room. The only flaw I found in it is they could of put a different material at the top. As mine melted a little bit due to a hot fire in the stove. It stould up well in a wind storm that went threw Quesnel while I was on Dragon lake http://gallery.flybc.ca/PK/Dragon_Lake_004

    If you were in the market for a tent I woulda bought it at that price. Heck you coulda sold it and made $ off it. My wall tent was $2100 and that was even getting the frame poles for a flat of beer

    Re: Tipitent

    Just waiting for mine to come in. Big draw for me is I work shift work and usually get into camp a few days before my buddies who work the Mon-Fri routine. That means I set up camp on my own setting up the tipi is a lot easier than finding poles for the wall tent and getting it set up on my own. Should arrive this week and will be getting used alot this summer/fall, so I'll have some field reviews as well.

    How have the outfitter tipi tents been working out for you guys over the years? Any issues with stoves burning the tent?

    same with the guys I hunt with...awesome shelter and pretty easy to set up....only drawback is that it does not fold up very small and usually sits on top of the camper where branches can do some damage
