    Default Tipi help

    Okay guys, I have my little Tipi, the Hex 3, now I want a bigger Tipi, the question is which one.

    Must haves:

    Sleeps at least 4 in luxury, 6 or more at a push

    At least 2 metres tall at the high point

    Double skin, I don't like condensation drips and its warmer

    Ground sheet, either sewn in, separate or with removable piece for a fire / stove

    Will want to use a chimney somewhere along the line

    Be able to take high winds

    Keeps the rain out

    Weight not that important, this is not for backpacking

    Single pole preferred

    Budget for tent only (no stove) between £200 and £450

    Colour: green would be nice

    Help please

    A friend will come and help you move home, a true friend will come and help you move a body

    The 8 man tipis on the SOTP group buy currently running look good.
