I thought I'd share this if anyone is interested.
On my elk hunt we had high winds blowing my stove pipe around in my 12 man tipi. It started to open the stove pipe cutout a bit and I didn't want it tearing. I like my stovepipe a little higher outside (which probably contributes a bit to the wind effect) to avoid spark holes so I took some bailing wire (actually a thinner gauge and easier to twist) and wrapped it around the stove pipe and interior pole to give it a bit more stability. It kept it quite still.
Rather than have wire there to potentially tear the tent if something were to go wrong I bought some high temp wire and some cord locks. It's much lighter and coils up easily. Just cut off a length that will work in your shelter and use the locks at the center pole and things stop moving around.
Anyone come up with something similar?
