New Argali 3P Tent? Help Me Design it.

[jmh9801]

These won't be available until next year. We're still working out the design kinks.

Yes I read that in comments. Im gonna buy the Absaroka. Was curious if there was gonna be father's day sale before purchasing it!

No we don't do any sales except for black friday, and even then it's pretty limited. We're about to sell out of 4P tents just as a heads up (likely in the next few days), but we'll have more in stock by the end of June.

Personally think something with a removable stove jack like the Rincon would be perfect.
I like the idea of having a 3 person tent or a 2 person with room for gear that has a stove.
I am probably different than a lot here as I camp at the truck a lot. But still don't want to take something as big as a wall tent because if I want to move areas or units its a quick easy tear down and then move.

If its made to be lightweight even though its a 3P its a bonus.
I like the idea of a single door also.

You were right already gone. Went to purchase few hours ago and sold out!

I have your 4P shelter (which I'm need to ask you another question on) and I do really like it! I do not own a stove but I did rent a stove for 3rd Season CO this past year and I liked having that option!

For myself personally, my wife will not sleep in a floorless shelter nor does she really go out with me in the colder months or when I'm scouting very often.

When I was shopping and researching shelters prior to getting your 4P shelter (that I can't spell without looking it up) the stove jack was a big factor for me as I am willing to hunt all seasons, and having the option is great for versatility. I was highly debating between the 2p and 4p shelter as 90% of the times I am solo, I did think that if I did have a hunting partner that the 2p shelter with stove would be too tight.

This said, depending on the design and use case, I don't believe all shelters need to have a stove jack.

Now that I do have a shelter that I could use as a hot tent, if I were in the market for another shelter at this time, I'd probably actually prefer to have 2 doors over a stove jack for a smaller shelter.

If I did not already own the other tent my option might differ.

Also, I think a shelter smaller than a 4P would be tight to run with 2 men and a stove.

I appreciate that feedback. The use case for this tent is that it would be a snug but doable two person plus stove setup. It would have a little less room than our Absaroka 4P, but each person could still have their own insert/sleeping area with a stove and gear.

The other important way this tent functions is that each person would have their own, separate sleeping quarters.

Not sure if this feedback is what you're looking for. But I would really love a bomb-proof, backpackable free-standing tent with a bathtub floor and a stove jack. Maybe something like a Hilleberg Tarra with a stove jack in one of the vestibules.

There are a lot of tipi-type hot tents, and they're all sorta getting to look the same. I have a Kifaru and a Seek Outside tent (sorry--no Argali tents yet) My problem with those is that they blow over or leak water under the sides in really severe weather conditions.

I'd love a more stable and weather-proof (and yes--I know heavier) tent with a stove jack.

Like a Nortent Vern 2 or 3? In case you hadn't seen those.

I’m a owner of the absaroka… I feel like it might be a pointless design in a 3p.. Guys are either going solo with the Rincon in Dyneema counting ounces or they are packing the absaroka for two guys with the stove. I mean what’s the weight differences between a 3p and 4p? A few ounces? You guys have great designs and are dominating the teepee market. I just feel it’s not enough difference to generate the revenue for manufacturing

Brad love your tipis and tarps, i would love a floor insert without mesh is this something you guys would think about producing?

We have half floors for all of our tents (no mesh). Is that what you are asking about?

I hear what you're saying. But, this is a different design with a slightly different use case. It may not be for everyone, but I'm not sure I understand why you think we shouldn't make it when there is a use case for it for some people.

Full floor for the 4 person tent would be sweet! Just a thought appreciate the great products you guys make!

gotchya! yeah you can get a full floor by running to half floors as well.
