Ive had 8 man tipi redclif, LBO, Cimarron, all great shelters,, but with llamas now I will sell all those, use the 11x11 I got from WTRL ,, side walls and 11' of standing room is worth the weight,,,, the Riley stove recommended from WTRL is also worth every single LB, my setup is around 40lbs, so one llama carries it all, the room and comfort with this combination is incredible, also with the wood stove if its going to be cold and using it often , taking a jet boil or MSR is not needed, that Riley stove will boil water in minutes...to me its worth the weight. also for daytime naps, this being my first canvas tent,, they dont get hot like a nylon tipi ,, they stay the same as outside temps, which was also a huge +
like I said I will sell all my tipis and what not
this will be my main hunting camp tent,, I will buy a large dome style tent with floor for summer early fall trips when stove is not required but I want it tall enough to stand in that will be my setups ,,I will also gladly pack a tarp to cover it for a lot of rain, to me its worth it
