Does anyone have any experience of or thoughts on this? I'm looking for a lavvu/tipi style of tent that I can actually carry and use as a means of luring my kids out into the wilds more often. It seems light enough and large enough but is it well-made, durable, functional, worth buying, etc..
Many thanks for any help!
Hi Tiley,
I have one of the Lavvu Light tents and use it for back packing when I want to use a real tent (school DoE expeditions etc), but still want to feel the grass between my toes in the morning!
The 4 man description is optimistic, I would say 2 with kit would be luxurious, 3 cosy & 4 intimate!
The main use it gets tho is for my kids when we go family camping - they wanted their own tent like Dads, & who am I to argue?
