Hey everyone I have the eight-man seek outside. I have liners all the way around. Thinking about getting the floor system. What have you guys thought about the floor system? Anyone used it good, bad, indifferent? Glad you got it wish you wouldn't have? Let's hear it.

They have the same concept with the Twilight and I loved it this year. No holes or wear at all, keeps things easy to find and clean, and the low liner kept condensation from pooling on the ground or getting any gear/sleep stuff near the perimeter wet.

Does it make it hold up a little better in the wind since you're laying on the floor and is connected to the rest of the tent?

I'm not sure what you are asking.
What hold up better?

Edit to add-+> if you asking about it make the shelter stronger, then no, not in any sense. The tipo floors use the same stakes as the tent, or the tent stake loops of you choose to lace, and then the liner loops over a dogbone up the wall.

The other nice part about the integrated liner is if you get a little ground low spot under the wall, the breeze won't get you coming under the tent because the floor/liner bathtub is there.

I've got a Guardian. Seek Outside recently released a floor for it and I absolutely love it. I was using a tyvek ground sheet under my pad and it worked.. Having the floor in it now makes things much easier and keeps things way cleaner. I also like that the vestibules are still open to the ground.

Got it, what I was saying is that it seems like the Tepee could not blow away because it is now connected to the floor. I've had some pretty windy nights in them. No need to answer this. I was just explaining what I meant

Got the exact floor you are looking at, for the 8 man tipi. Absolutely loved it, would highly recommend. We used a towel as an entry mat to help keep things clean. The floor was sturdy, held up well and kept everything nice and dry. I do think it helped keep out wind from leaking in as well.

We did run a stove in the tent so we used the fire retardant mat that seek outside sells with the floor.

Thank you so much! I'm going to order it
