    @300Shortmag Is there or was there an option for a wall liner ?

    Makes a massive difference to the temperature / fuel use and also cuts condensation getting on your gear to nil

    No full liner, there's an optional seperate pole frame that eliminates the centre pole (adds about 8kg). It pulled up nice and tight with just the centre pole so would be even better with the internal frame and no centre pole . Then you can hang anything light or heavy from the top. It also has a bathtub floor and a seperate insect liner that would cover half the area. There's two big vents in the roof. It probably stood around 190 cm tall and was 3 meters wide . Surely the condensation can't be any worse than a small tent?

    Condensation with a single skin tent of any kind can be pretty bad

    Most conventional recreational tents are fly and liner with air flow between and the liner keeps the condensation away from your gear

    The condensation is in the morning when the fire has gone out over night

    You will be fine
    I doubt you will be at minus 10 plus like I use mine in

    Thanks Akaroa1, I got given a 10 x 12 army tent. Green canvas, No floor.
    Has a center pole and high sides. Was thinking about buying a silicone vent and putting a Oz Pig stove in it for a heater. It would be a base camp setup.

    See any issues apart from bulk.

    Well if running an OZ pig I would get a decent stove jack
    My preference is the chimney near the center pole because it's moves the least there in the wind

    But plan out how you will use the space before fitting the stove jack

    While my tipi, liner and stove are a carry in weight I have used it a fair bit when hunting from the vehicle and it's very quick to set up.

    A heavier tent or tipi with a bigger stove with more mass would be better if not wanted for carry in trips.

    Hey guys
    Here’s the links to what I purchased
    I am yet to use them in the back country but has been setup on my lawn for a few days and seems pretty good for the price
    Ii went for quite a big hot tent, wondering now if its a bit big but we will see

    the other tent i was looking at was this one
    Slightly smaller and made of 20d sil instead of the 210T
    I might still get that one and test between the 2 options
