Show me them tipis

In my experience I have found that I want my tipi to be as easy to set up as possible. With that being said I went with a square tipi and my set up is in a few minutes. Most I had previously were round or some odd ass shape and it was difficult to get it tight, and if there was uneven ground it drove me nuts.
 
gotta really critique those contour lines, lol. It was a little funky setup, but it worked. It's all the rocks, lumps and shrubs that make it tough to pitch right. Probably the one thing I don't like about an 8 man size tipi.

Wondering how big of a problem condensation is for all the tipi/floorless people? Is it worse early/late season?

Summer I pitch it high enough that the condensation isn't an issue. You can see the air gap in the open door photo below. When it's just me later in the fall I pitch it pretty high too. Zero condensation.

My buddies don't like the air flow so I have to pitch it down tight. That's the photo with the buck in it. Plenty of condensation in the morning from us breathing in there, but not enough to drip on us or anything. We camped in a pretty wet meadow that trip too which is condensation city. At that point it just takes a little getting used to. Only a big deal if you make it one.

which shelter is that?

thanks....the pic of the inside looks like a good way to organize.
 
Used my Luna 6 as a basecamp tent this year till my brother showed up with the big tent. I was able to fit my full size cot and a few storage boxes inside. Had a ton of additional storage room. Didn't need the stove (lite outdoors 18") Weve slept 4 in it before with nothing else, but pretty comfy for 2 with a stove. It sufficed for a week by myself.
