 Which Tentipi Should I Choose?When choosing a Tentipi single pole kåta there are three questions to answer:
1. Which model do I need?
2. Do I need a floor or an inner tent?
3. Which size do I need?
Which model do I need?
This is best answered by thinking about the level of technical features you need, and whether weight and/or breathability of the fabric is important to you. Of course price is important too. Use the diagram to position the models relative to each other.
If you need more help to make your decision, ask us to send you the latest Tentipi catalogue, where you will find lots of detailed technical information.
Do I need a floor or an inner tent?
A few points to start with:
You don't need a floor or an inner tent inside your Tentipi kåta, but there are a number of advantages if you do choose one.
If you choose an inner tent, you don't need a floor as well because the inner tents already have the floor built in
Any floor or inner tent can go in any of the tents.
You can still have a fire with a floor or inner tent in place.
As a general guide:
Choose an inner tent if you want the best protection against insects, or to minimise condensation problems in non-breathable tents (Varrie Light, Nibba & Vagge)
Choose a floor if insects are not an issue, or if you have chosen a breathable tent (Varrie cp and Arran).
Which size do I need?
A "5" will sleep 6 "expedition style" or 2 comfortably.
A "7" will sleep 8 "expedition style" or 4 comfortably.
A "9" will sleep 10 "expedition style" or 6 comfortably.
A "15" will sleep 15 "expedition style" or 10 comfortably. |

 Tentipi Fire BoxesPractical, collapsible fire boxes for heating and cooking.
Tentipi® design
The fire box gives off plenty of heat with very little smoke. Makes it easy to grill, cook, or just enjoy the heat and light! Its clever design means that it takes up very little space when packed.
Normally, when you make a fire direct on the ground, a bed of coals builds up quickly. Wood stumps roll to the edges gently smoking.
Visible smoke contains non-combusted gases. Insufficient combustion gives three negative effects: 1. The degree of efficiency is unsatisfactory. 2. Tar particles in the smoke burn your eyes. 3. The smoke is relatively cold and does not rise so easily.
The Tentipi® fire box solves all these problems in a clever way. Many holes in the bottom provide the fire with sufficient oxygen. This both increases the combustion efficiency as well as the heat produced. Therefore, wood added to the fire burns better. The frame around the fire reflects the heat which ignites the wood stumps which would otherwise produce smoke.
Wood fuel use is reduced by 75% and there is much less risk for eye burning smoke.
The fire box is indispensible if you are going to build a fire on snow. The legs fold out and can be placed on branches or other support material on the snow, thereby preventing the fire box from sinking into the snow. |
