Took the tipi out on its first trip. Very happy with how well it preformed. Temps were in the mid 20* and in the tent was probably 70-80* very comfortable.

Didn't need this but 120 is a deal, had to try it

I picked up one these for my boy to use in the yard to play in to save wear and tear on my cimmaron. Its been set up for probably a month now .

I'm going to add a stove jack myself and use it some along with my cimmaron.

I replaced the stakes since they didn't hold well in soft soil. The fabric on the seam by the zipper gets caught in the zipper if not being careful. The pole doesn't feel like its the sturdiness, but other than that I have no complaints for the price.

Its held up to a lot of rain with no leaks. Pretty good deal for 120$

That looks like a great deal and seems to be holding up just fine. Thanks for sharing.

It’s worth the small investment. Highly recommend it.

The real test is going to be high winds and load holding. I have a feeling the slumber jack will fail. I know I sent mine back after I pulled it out.

This is a good size bigger than the Cimarron, 167 ft^2 compared to 94 ft^2. @Cerickson12 did you add the stove jack yourself? I see this as a kickass truck camping cold weather solution. Family summer time stuff too.

Ya, I installed my stove jack myself. Super easy so far seems durable

So, you didn't even test it and deemed it inferior? Interesting. I've seen high dollar shelters fail from high wind and snow loading. Happens all the time. Your comment would have some merit if you actually used yours. I've only had mine in mid 20s on wind speed, didn't kill it. For the money it's a solid shelter.

Mine should be in this coming week. Planning to pair it with a DIY installed stove jack and Kni-Co stove and use it for a base camp during my Elk season. Definitely not packing it in more than a mile or so but as long as I keep realistic expectations it should be good.

Not bad to be in a hot tent for under $400 bucks that can fit all the people and gear that I bring. Will be huge to be able to dry out gear and stay a little more comfortable.

I'm not camping in my back yard or in a camp ground....im on top of mountains in Alaska, failure isn't a option in my world so more money spent on a SO tipi and the piece of mind from hundreds of other hunters using them is well worth it. Wish you the best of luck though!

Finally got the stove jack installed and first burn in.

Kifaru Cylinder Stove with Sawtooth Pipe
LiteOutdoors Stove Jack

just starting burn in and no issues. Pretty easy DIY stove jack install with a sewing machine. Highly recommend using a heavier duty one. I have one I use to sew webbing that did the trick.
Only concern is heat resistance of the material. Time will tell

Same jack I installed in mine. Wish I would have gotten the Bearpaw jack, it's got a border around the perimeter of the silicone which makes it a much easier install instead of having to stitch through the silicone and velcro.

Edit because I didn’t phrase that well…

What’s a good stove pipe length rule for shelters. 1.5 feet above top of shelter? I ask because I picked up a used stove and I am pretty confident it is only going to be about 8-10” above top which could lead to additional pinholes from embers.

Assuming I’d want more length than that like I have with my DIY stove but figured I’d ask if there’s a general rule

Good rule of thumb is a minimum of a foot above the peak. Max maybe 1.5’? Too long and it can catch wind. If you are around 8-10”, maybe add an aftermarket dampener/spark arrestor like SO uses, which would add length and function. Just a thought.

My pipe sits a foot above my shelter and i only have 1 pinhole so far, knock on wood. Wood selection, spark arrestor, and dampener setting also play into embers even more than stove pipe length imo though.

You can also buy a short piece of pipe to use as a "cheater" pipe as long as your main pipe is above the jack. Then you can adjust the short pipe up or down to suit conditions. Saves you from having to buy a whole new pipe.

I am interested to hear any of your experiences with this setup in high winds and/or rain/snow. I bought an Outpost 4 this summer but have not tested it in any rough weather yet. So far I think it is a solid shelter for the price I paid.

Anyone ever get visits from venomous snakes and scorpions? Love the concept but hate unwanted visitors.
