    Nice n big. Is the indian-rope-climber-type-coil to open/shut the top hat ?

    For more then a night, tipis are the biz. The only thing you don't get is a view ie no windows.

    that looks awesome! definitely wouldn't want to be lugging all that round on your back though!

    When you have a fire inside, How do you not get smoked out? probably a daft question to those with the know how but I dont have any experience with these types of tipis

    Oddly the whole thing acts like a big chimney, but we did have a few smokey moments.

    But slept very well over the 3 nights.
