I am I need of a new shelter(s) this year. My family is getting older and the copper spur ul4 is a little to small. I do not need a floor less shelter but i am considering one. I amconsidering the following ideas.
Kifaru 8 man
Seek outside 8 man
Lbo base tarp base
Adding a smaller 3 season tent with large vestibule
I have a feeling the LBO is a little small for my needs. I have a 13 year old daughter (who is fine with her own shelter if need be, close by), 5 year old boy, wife, myself and 2 dogs (lab and terrier) I need a fairly large floor less area for the dogs. A stove would be great but definitely not a must. The half nest option in the SO 8 man is very appealing to my wife. I am also going to use this shelter for later season hunts October/November.
I am leaning towards an 8 man tipi due to it having enough room and not having to deal with a floor. The only issue is the weight. From the research I have done a liner is a must for condensation issues.
I'm sure there aren't too many people who have both but for those who have used the SO, how is the quality? I own lots of Kifaru gear but I have not been around and SO stuff. I like the tie off points on the SO a couple ft off the ground to pull the walls out a little. I am looking forward to hearing thoughts from you guys. Thanks
