Yeah, I have a little experience with a Savotta lavvu. Let's just say I hope to never need to use it again. First, I was expecting high quality, being a Savotta, and savotta has been kitting the Finnish army for decades. Their backpacks, while the one I had was THE most torturous I have ever used, I couldn't diss the quality, as it was top notch. Their lavvu is Chinese made, which doesn't mean it HAS to be shit, as it depends more on quality control than anything. Well, it hasn't broken, but I wouldn't trust it in wind of ANY kind. Mine doesn't have guy out points.... WTF, why?!? But it doesn't. It is a PIA to set up the 17 different pegs and for a two man shelter the footprint was ridiculously large. The sod skirt is OK, I mean, the supplied Mosquito net kept skeeters away but large Beatles crawl under every night. I guess in a nutshell I learned a couple things: I don't like a round shape footprint, so I have stayed away from tips....for me, it's easier to find / clear an area for a long, narrow footprint. I like floorless shelters, but not THAT particular shelter. The lavvu I have doesn't accomadate a stove, but has reflective material on the inside to reflect campfire warmth on the user....okay, nice idea, but getting close enough to the fire to use the warmth = I now have several small burn holes on the thing.... I decided to pay extra and go with Kifaru megatarp. I can add a stove which will hopefully minimize burning the shelter. I know seek outside allows stoves,but I stayed away from them due to hating that kind of footprint. I am just more of an A-frame kind of guy. Helsport is big up here in Scandinavia, but I haven't used their products.
