Well I got a cheap Chinese tipi this weekend.
$80 , tipi stakes, guy lines, seam sealer.
Weight 993 grams : tipi, 14 stakes, and all guy lines.
Dimension 6x8 x 4 high. Of useable space. Probably a little bigger on the outside.
Seems like it would work for two or possibly 1 and a stove.
Seems storm worthy on my first pitch, I am sure I could pitch it better.
Two vents at the top, two doors.
A few of the tie out spots have tensioners.
The included guy lines have tensioners as well.
Hopefully I'll be able to use it this season. Already pretty cold up here.



I bought it from a rokslide guy, who never used it and included some seam sealer great deal. But this is the same one.

$80? Dang thats cheap....probably $80 in fabric in that thing. Do you know what they used for fabric?

What are the outside dimensions corner to corner?

I seam sealer it today. Put some extra guy line on the bottom tie outs , and cut all the unnecessary plastic pieces off.

If anyone has any questions about it, or requests for pics , now's the time while it drys.

I am guessing that means what does it weigh...
8 msr ground hog stakes, 3 feet of line on each tie out, seam sealed inside and out using 100% silicone and mineral spirits, a cuben stake sack and the tent stuff sack equals.
904 grams.
