I've done about 8-10 nights in it now, including a night with significant snowfall and all is well. I've had no issues whatsoever. There is a stove jack that velcros in available on AliExpress that I picked up a few months ago but I haven't decided on a stove yet.
Another note, I bought a couple of big Agnes pads for dirt cheap at one of these sales. The return slip indicated they leaked but the still had the repair kit and I figured I could fix them. Turns out, the nylon itself, was not holding air. When I put them in the tub, air leaked out all over...
I got a great deal on a 0° Nemo bag a couple of years ago. Also got a brand new, rental tent for about 90% off one year.
It really depends on the store you go to. I got the best deals at an austin, tx store. Now that I'm in Spokane, wa, you have to get there early or else it's slim pickens.
And there's another seller that has it for even cheaper.

Well guys, I ordered this cheap tipi from China about 3 weeks ago. It was delivered the other day. I'm quite impressed with it. Good seam taping on all sewing. Quality stitching everywhere. The included center pole is sturdy.

Thoughts on this shelter? Looks a little short, which may cause the walls to be too shallow for snow.

I sent an email off to Rep Labrador of ID. Thank you for the heads up. This is a slippery slope that puts the North American model of Wildlife Conservation in danger.
