    Cheaper teepee?

    I’ve been liking my cimarron, but I think I’d like a bigger tent with a stove jack, but a cheaper price tag. I really don’t need an untralight backpacking model with a carbon fibre pole, but it would be more for truck/quad trips. Must be waterproof and sturdy in the wind, have a stove jack, preferably breathable so it doesn’t sweat too much and sleeps 4 -5 comfortably with a stove.

    There is a used one for $250 in the off topic forum. Tipitent Camo Hunter. Might be a cheap way to test the waters?

    I’ve got this on my wish list for myself for base camp hunting trips and family camping. Im glad to hear you like it. I have Luxe 2P tipi for backcountry hunting trips. It works very well for me.

    The luxe seems to have some good reviews.

    Cheap teepees seem to start around $500 when you can get a fairly good quality tent for around the same or less.

    Check the reviews on Luxe before anyone orders. It seems they have a tendency to only ship partial orders then leave you hanging for the rest of the shipment. I too am looking for a similar set up but once I started reading reviews on these tents online it sounds like it might not be worth the hassle.

    A friend of mine has been in touch with a Chinese company who wants to sell him 100 teepees cheap. I can’t remember the exact price, but they’re sending him a sample to check out. Now that I’m thinking, I think it’s a copy of the Russian bear tent. We’ll see when it gets here and I’ll give a report and maybe we’ll try it out in November
