Before I start...

Thanks, Joe.
I have been desperately casting about on the web, seeking something less exorbitant, but keep banging my head against not enough room, too much canvas, not durable enough, and just plain ugly.

Now I get an email, the pink paint is dry, the engraving done, the bows tied, and the stove is shipped. Just kidding, except for the shipped part. I have a knack for shopping well. I usually buy the right thing. Over and over again! That is how I end up with all these bows and other launchers, knives, and five tents, not counting alcoves and tarps.

I seriously have to get rid of some stuff, if only so that I can find my other stuff!

Now, to pick out what I want to do about the tipi floor. Half floor or whole floor, boughten? The floors have zips to open them up to bare ground, which is a good thing with a stove and muddy boots. Or I could make-do with tarps and rugs.

I gotta see what else this rascal has been doing!

Be sure and pitch that home away from home and show us some pictures.  I like a floor that is soundless (old canvas) and cut a spot out for the stove to live on bare dirt. I have one camp that has a planked floor across two logs. It has been in use for a lot of years and is still sound. Right now it's under six ft of snow.

There is a world of tired in six feet of snow.
Snow has the ability to crush most everything.

I crunched through a bit of snow today as
I delivered  the mail, and we are supposed to hit over seventy degrees on Thursday.

Too early, and I am looking for winter’s last hurrah.

There is now a Tentipi Safir 9 in the back seat of my truck.
The floor and canopy arrived today, and that box is in the living room.

Now to get sheet metal screws for the stovepipe sections, and find the opportunity for a shakedown cruise.

It would really bug me to cash out before trying this.

Twin Oaks, during the Tenn Classic would be a good place for a test run, Killie. Hope to see you there.

I have been using this guy the last 4 years. It is stove friendly and has a floor. I really like the floor because it keeps the Camp robbers out. Mine is a 12x12. I can set it up my self and all fits in a big duffle bag. Last I looked Cabela’s still sells them and I do like it better then a Canvas tent. Yes that’s a mule deer doe standing besides my partners truck.
