Does anyone have pictures of how they rigged this?

I picked up this shelter for spike camp use last year, but it hasn’t seen much use yet. I Decided to use it instead of my tut on a recent 3 night trip just to get some time with it.

This was a truck camp and even though it wasn’t all that cold, I assembled the stove anyway just to try things out in this “controlled environment”.

Glad I did. We had some really good wind come in the 1st night and I felt like the stove pipe would too easily be pushed around and make contact with the eve of the tarp.

I’ve seen a video that Patrick did on pitching the supertarp where he references tying off the stove with 3 points of guy lines, but he doesn’t show how to do it.

Does anyone have pictures of this? Is there a special part that I’m missing? Obviously you can’t tie off directly to the stove itself but I can’t figure out how to secure it.

I don’t know why I’m having trouble understanding... are you tied off to the extra tag ends of twisted wire used to assemble the pipe? I don’t have rings on my pipe?

I did the same as Reaper. My stove is a Lite Outdoors I added 3 loops of light wire around one of the cable rings that hold the pipe in shape to connect my guy lines to. I was afraid it would get too hot running the cord straight to the cable and possibly burn or melt it.

Patrick would use safety pins in the front edge of the tarp(1 or two I don't remember).I think they used to send 1 or 2 s.s. pins with the tarps

You can also use fishing leader hook and attach a paracord.

Weren’t the safety pins for attaching annex to the tarp?

Has anyone tried just a loop of 550 cord around the pipe near the top? Id imagine the smoke and exhaust has to be cooled quite a bit after its traveled up the pipe.

I bought a 9 foot pipe for my 8 foot teepee and my pipe wont even sit down in my stove without falling over.

I don't think I would try that. Might work, might not. I would hate to damage my tent because I didn't want to spend $10 at Ace and 30 minutes of my time
 
I took a couple of small pieces of cable and basically ‘snare’ the pipe. Take a length of cable and make a loop at each end. Slip one loop through the other and around the pipe so it cinches down. Then tie a piece of cordage to the free end and anchor it to the ground.71A453AE-16F0-41E4-8F95-068EEC146257.png
