Thread: Mid-winter sleeping systems

Points South tipi, I use this as my lounging area in the evenings. Very spacious for 2-4 hunters. This day was particularly challenging.

Then I run a few black label hillebergs

Ok. Looks good but not something I would consider carrying in.

Need less clothes because you can dry gear out and lots of head space. Would really like the torrid stove but not yet.







Just using Leki walking poles instead of the Peax poles.

I've been looking at getting one of these stoves. How do you find the flue on the stove? Do the sections remain tubular or do you unroll them flat to pack down?

@IamRobertoPualson

Haven’t worried about the Peax ground sheet yet to expensive and the dog is happy with no ground sheet, I just use a small small goretex tarp for my air mattress and use crocs inside the tipi. If your got the money for dyneema yes it’s worth it. Way stronger and rigid against the wind and doesn’t sag, les plenty of moon light if your into that and only weighs 1.4kg for tipi, pegs and carbon pole, very roomy with good head room for getting changed inside and sitting upright.
The only downside so far is price and condensation getting wet touching the walls when pegged down low to the ground to keep wind and rain out. Rain and hail is loader on dyneema


@steadwah

Good stove for the price but a lot of fidderly screws. The flue is a one piece roll sheet and takes a bit to roll it out, you have to burn it in to have a rolled out memory ( plenty of YouTube vids to do this). The flue remains in a rolled state when packed for transport, the stove takes longer to assemble than the tipi to pitch.
The Peax Torrid stove looks to be the best design stove and easiest, quickest to setup but at a price.

How do you deal with mozzies? or do you switch out in the summer

Hey mate I'm pretty tempted.

Do you have any pictures of the inside by chance?

Does it have any eyelets or such on the inside to put up lines for drying gear?

Also if you are not using the 'half bug screen' and just using it as a communal area with everyone sleeping in outer tents. How many people (with the stove inserted) is comfortable, 4-6 etc?

Cheers

Hey @kukuwai - I do, but easier for my to text them through, PM your number if you like.

Yes I have been able to put lines all the way around the inside of the tipi for drying gear, works well.

I have not used the bugscreen once, typically only use this in the colder months. it's only been used as a communal area. I have had 6x guys in it with some gear. I use small chairs to maximise space.

I'd say 6 guys maximum with stove with less gear, 4 would be more comfortable. I often use it for myself + 2 clients and its a palace.

Includes very impressive substantial stainless steel stakes, very hearty. They don't come out.

And yes everyone has their own sleeping tent. However it's perfectly equipped for sleeping a couple of guys in the half insert.

Cheers!

Awesome info thanks heaps @hotsoup
