The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"
Do you have a bivy you use in the cimarron?
On my first stone hunt with a much smaller tipi we were caught in that huge aug storm in 2019. It rained so much which turned to snow and condensation was high. I have a borah bivy now it’s really light and will keep sleep system together and clean and more water protection. I have not got to try out the new bivy yet but I think it’s just more piece of mind
If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.
One thing with a floorless shelter, having the shelter staked down close to the ground will result in a massive increase in condensation.
Having the top vent and zipper open and a good 4” of air flow under the sides will pretty much completely eliminate all condensation inside.
i did a early September goat hunt up the dease highway, took a seek outside tipi and camped up high and on second night snow/wind storm ripped my tipi, my partner and I had to quickly pack up at 4am and head to lower ground more protected. Camped under a tarp in a rock outcropping for 4 more nights in the wind and rain. I didn’t regret taking the floor less but gotta know the better places to use it. I used tyvek for a ground cloth and it worked fine! (Just so you know seek did warranty and replace my tipi, great service and warranty)
Shoot em' Whack em' Stack em'
it had ripped about a third the way up, was hard to tell afterwards but looks like ripped at the vertical seam and then turned 90 degrees and across to the next seam. Nothing was touching in that area as it was about two feet up the wall. So don’t know how it happened but the wind was also blowing so bad I was sitting up holding the pole so it wouldn’t snap haha I’m not here to bash the tipi but just letting you know a better cover area would be best for em. I’ll use my new one on the mountain but out of the wind. I did have a lot of condensation the first two nights, but it rained from the moment we got on top and snowed the next day so we didn’t have any dry ground. That doesn’t help with condensation.
