I started messing around with this a couple years ago. I was in the market for something I could use with the family. I wanted to improve on tipi by improving the usable space inside while reducing the footprint required and make entry more functional. However, I wanted to keep the top mostly conical to help with wind. However, design is not completely original. Ellis Canvas makes canvas tents of this style. So far I really like it. (I haven't been on here in a long time, but last time I was a tent like this was being discussed so forgive me if this is nothing new.)
I can tie up the walls for ventilation.
Pole to support high point of walls. I've also used trekking poles for this.
I think this was the first trip it was used. We took our son. The goats were only yearling so were not much help at the time.
It's time like this that the smaller footprint come into play.
Family trip this summer. Now we have two that need to come along.
The goats are able to help a little at two years old.
