Floorless Tipi Regrets?

[Rallen]

I'm on the fence about trying a floorless tipi. The ability to have a stove and weight reduction over my current setup are the driving factors. Give me the good bad and ugly.

I love mine. Lots of space inside which is nice if you are stuck in bad weather for am extended period of time. Condensation can be an issue if you don't have a liner or a stove but overall I recommend.

I have a 1/2 nest for my silvertip just to be bug free for sleeping. I can sit in my short chair inside the tent and also have another person. Good compromise for long late season evenings.

Admit that my usual go to is still my six moons floored pole tent just because it is small and fast.

I have no regrets for floorless but I will usually only use it later we hen the bugs are mostly gone.

You won't regret going floorless. I absolutely love it, as many do.

The 2 learning curve issues I've encountered is bugs and location.

If I know there will be bugs, namely mosquitos, I bring a bug bivy or nest.

Not paying close attention, I once set my tarp in what appeared to be a bench but was actually a trough. And when it rained for many many hours, I ended up in a bit of a situation. Never made that mistake again.
