tipi tents
Moskoselkatan tents from sweden.(available in the UK through LIGHT MY FIRE in Edinburgh. The best you can get, all my other tents are now redundant.If you live in your tent for long periods and want plenty of room,a source of heat, to be able to stand up, shower inside the tent, dry wet gear, put up/take down the tent in 5 mins, this is for you. It has saved me reverting to paying for accommodation after travelling for weeks in terrible weather, I have remained dry, warm and comfortable from Kirkness in Northern Norway to Italy. the tent packs up to the size of a 2/3 man dome tent weighs 6kg (or 3kg lightweight version) will sleep 5, sit 8 people. you can light a fire in it or use a heatpal heater. the floor zips back to let you stand up and have a wash down inside out of the weather, there is a washing line round the top vent to dry wet clothing if you have a heater/fire going. It easily withstood severe gales and storms in northern arctic area and is nothing less than superb bit of kit. All tents have bad points, I am struggling to find them with this one possibly size weight are worst but the size weight is easily overcome if you arrange the packing of your bike accordingly.
