Tale of two Shelters

[Where's Bruce?]

U nuts. Beendare right. Anyone packing that stupid-heavy Sitka tarp nuts too.

19oz for a tarp doesn't bother me at all. Thanks

I was just thinking that tarp off the front looks like a wind sail. I can see it's use in milder weather without high wind, but looks like a disaster in high winds waiting to happen.

Agree something to be said about the double doors, at times its handy. I think the reason a longer zipper may not work as well on the sawtooth is the stove jack position, if the zipper came up the jack might have to be repositioned. For me thats a good trade off. I open a tie off the door on the opposite side of the stove , and with the stove being almost i the vestibule you still have the full with to sleep two guys comfortable. Slack in the winter is something i haven't had any issue with, i usually kick the pole up a couple clicks if need to take slack out. I also run a loop of 2mm cord on my primary stake loops that allow me to run it to a stake, either to tighten it up, or to raise it for ventilation and air flow. I probably should buy some cord locks but honestly a loop works as well.

I just ordered a matty mcface. Going to run it in place of ground sheet on my half of the sawtooth. My buddy is bringing and ultra light cot.

Added my own versions of line locks for more venting. I tried line locks and thought this was simpler

Burned in the U Turn today. This is my third stove I have had, started with a Smith, then went to a lite outdoors and now a medium U turn. I feel I improved each it.

You'll be set now with the seekoutside stove What size is it?
If you like your sawtooth and wanna keep it clean I suggest you the ultra spark arrestor,that thing is really good, sometimes I even put a screen in the top of the stove pipe about 2inches by inside and it hold it place with a liteoutdoors 3" ring.The only thing I really don't use is a chimney rain cap...if you want to destroy your tent use one

It's a medium, I might grab a spark arrestor for the top too, makes sense

Yeah I think a spark arrestor is a wise investment.

Anyone use a stove that's smaller than recommended for the tent?

For example, 8 Person Tipi with a Large U-Turn stove; opinions, experiences, input? The U-Turn stove is so light and seems big enough to put a significant dent in condensation and give a little bit of warmth.
