How's the Tut working for those that have them in the field already? The Good, Bad, Ugly? Interested to hear personal experiences with it. Thanks, Bill

Listening to the Gritty podcasts it sounds like it needs a liner option.
Yep x2The only thing holding me from pulling the trigger on the tut is that i want a liner

You'll just have to buy another Copper Spur next year.After seeing mrgreen's Tut with half nest I'm even more convinced this is the shelter I want. Looks like I could run it with a nest for local OK trips (bugs and such) then pull the nest and run it with a stove in CO chasing elk. Best of both worlds. Will probably dump my BA Copper Spur 2 for it.

The mid level guy outs. Awesome to keep the walls more vertical. But not sure why they didn't go with a tensioner anchored to the tent. Like a lin loc or similar. I may add something or just continue to use the tautline hitch there.
I've spent a handful of nights in the tut now. I have family that has the seek outside 8 man tepee and kifaru sawtooth and spent some time in both of those.
Initial impressions are that it is good. I've dabbled in sewing myself and that is likely the only reason but some of the stitching along the seam looks like the operator was on facebook with one hand and sewing with the other.

If I could change one thing I would have made each side a foot longer. I know it's a tradeoff in weight and space needed to pitch etc but with 2 guys and a stuff another foot would be nice.
Here are a couple pics. The one on the inside kinda shows the snow on outside. It did fine with the snowload and also in the yellow grass it withstoof some sustained winds and 2 gusts that I thought might break the pole. It actually bent two of the stakes.
