Looking for opinions on the 6 man tipi or redcliff. It would be 2 guys maybe 3 with stove?
 
Redcliff is basically a rectangle footprint...slightly modified to enlarge all sides. The long sides of the tipi are split by doors. The short sides ('ends') are primarily the sleeping areas. The short sides are also the areas mainly protected from condensation by using optional liners. The long sides and door areas are not protected with liners. I see the Redcliff as a big shelter ideally suited for 2 people and a wood stove, plus gear. There's definitely room to sleep 4, but crowded with a stove...and a couple occupants would be at risk of condensation drip/wetting. Notes about my Redcliff:

Strong construction.
Zippers protected from rain = no drip.
Very easy pitch with no setbacks.
Definitely more usable space than an 8-Man tipi.
Reinforced guy-out points.
Sod flap is valuable.
Easy liner attachment and adjustment.
Packs smaller than imagined by using a compression sack.
