PITCHING:

For detailed pitching instructions please read our detailed Pitch Instructions below:

How to Pitch a Tipi

How to put up a teepee

We’ll cover two pitch methods – Radius & Setback. These two methods arrive at the same answer, but solve the problem from opposite directions.

The keys to pitching are:

Good site selection.
Pick your sleeping area – this determines pole location & stove location if you’re using one.
Door location & orientation
Correct diameter (footprint)

After you make decisions on sleeping area and door orientation, it’s time to pitch. Getting a good pitch requires the correct size footprint. A footprint too big results in a bell shape that reduces usable space. A footprint too small leaves slack and runs the risk of running out of pole length.

Both of these pitching methods are designed to start out with the right tipi diameter between the two doors.

Use the following chart to determine your radius or setback.

Tipi Size	4 Person	6 Person	8 Person	12 Person	16 Person
Radius	5' 11"	7'	7' 11"	9' 5"	10' 6"
Zipper Setback	28"	36"	46"	54"	62"
Side Setback	4"	6"	7"	8"	9"
Height	81"	94"	102"	114"	126"

Radius Method

Pick your sleeping area - this determines your pole location. (Pole location offset a few feet from sleeping area depending on size of shelter.)
Set a stake to mark the pole location.
From the center stake, either pull a pre-cut cord the length of your shelter’s radius, or mark your center pole at the radius length and use either of these to measure from the center stake to where you want your first door. Set a stake at this point.
Go across the pitch area and pull another radius from the center stake in a straight line with the first two stakes. Set a third stake - this is your second door location.
Hook both door stake loops on their stakes. Make sure the stove jack is oriented to the side you want if you're using a stove.
Pull the fabric out taut but NOT stretched and set the remaining SEAM stake loops, working from door to door to door. Don't set stakes deep at this time as you may adjust after the tipi is raised.

Very Important - stretch the fabric out, let it relax completely. This is taut. Stretching the fabric and setting stakes results in a bell shape that reduces usable space.

If you're using a stove, make sure the stove jack flap is open. Open or close the vent as desired. (You can’t reach these once the tipi is up.)
Put up the pole, adjust stakes if needed, fill in secondary stakes if needed, pound in all primary stakes.

Setback Method

Set primary door stake.
Grab opposite door stake loop and stretch tipi out taut (not stretched). Orient sleeping area or stove as needed.
Setback the door using the measurement in the chart above. If you don’t have the measurement, put your hand on the door guyout, then fold the fabric toward the opposite door. The guyout is the middle of this fold. Where the stake loop lands is very close to the proper setback. (Setback is 2X distance from guyout to sod skirt below stake loop in door.)
Set the seam stake loops next to doors first, then work door to door to door using side setbacks.
The recommended setbacks are for a standard no guy out pitch. If you would like a little more interior space, or improved snow shedding, move the setbacks in toward center one - two inches from recommended setback, click the pole an inch higher and use the side guy outs.

Silvertip, Cimarron, Lil Bug Out, and Redcliff shelter directions can be found on our website.

Pitch Tips:

If you have a bell shape at the bottom then your footprint is too big. This is caused by overstretching the fabric when setting the stakes.
The diameter and radius of the shelters can vary by a small amount due to uneven terrain or variances in manufacturing. After pitching a few times you'll find the diameter where your tipi is happiest.
Uneven ground - set the uphill side as normal, then set the downhill side. You will have slack in the downhill side that can then be reduced by using the guyouts.
To pitch in wind set 1-3 stakes on the upwind side first.
Storm worthiness is determined largely by how solid your stakes are. Mixing in a few longer or beefier stakes such as our Twisted Stakes helps in bad weather or loose soil.
A flat rock under the pole will keep it from sinking into soft ground.
Our tipis have inner and outer stake loops. Pitch with the inner loops to raise the sod skirt and allow more venting in warm weather. Pitch with the outer loops to seal the skirt to the ground.
Watch the skirt when staking! You’ll put a hole in your skirt if you’re careless.

Care & Maintenance:

Never leave your shelter unattended in heavy snow. The pole will break before the canopy will tear.
Store your tipi clean and dry. Dirt or sand can abrade the waterproof coating, and moisture leads to mildew.
To clean, hand wash in woolite or other gentle cleanser, or pitch and spray with a garden hose. Hang or pitch to dry.
Avoid long term UV exposure.
If you get pinholes from ember burns, seal them with a dab of seam sealer.
Small tears can be repaired with tenacious tape.

SEAM SEALING:

To seal the shelter, pitch it normally and seal the outside seams.
You can run a thin bead of sealant along the seam, press it in with a finger, and wipe away excess on a paper towel.
Alternatively, you can use an acid brush from a hardware store to spread the sealant.

How To Roll a Titanium Stove Pipe (and other tips for stove pipes)

How to Roll a Titanium Stove Pipe

Rolling a stove pipe can be difficult the first time, especially if you do not have a friend to help. It can be done solo, by yourself in the backcountry the first time, but you shouldn't. Why? Simply because you may damage it. Once the pipe has been burned in, rolling it by yourself in the back country is simple. Below is a video of two people rolling a stove pipe.

Stove Pipe Tips:

Using gloves is much safer in the backcountry
Cleaning out creosote build up is NEVER a bad idea
You can re-anneal a damaged pipe

How to Re-anneal a Damaged Pipe:

Sometimes pipes get out of alignment or develop a cone shape over time. Here is how to fix it.

Roll the pipe up the opposite direction
Stick it on the grill or in the oven at 400 degrees for a few minutes (20 is more than enough)
Once cooled, carefully re-roll the pipe into the intended shape.
Enjoy

INFO ON HOT TENTS:

Temperature Rating

We use high temp silicone coated fiberglass material, rated to several thousand degrees, for the stove jack. The tent material never touches the hot pipe. If there are any pinholes from floating embers, they can be sealed with a small dab of silicone without damaging the shelter.

Condensation

Condensation may occur in single-wall shelters, but can be managed with liners and stoves. For more information, check out our tips on managing condensation below

How to minimize tent condensation

Tent Condensation

The best ways to minimize tent condensation.

How to Prevent Tent Condensation

Condensation inside a tent happens when warm, moist air from the inside meets cooler air outside, causing the water vapor to condense on the tent canopy. This is most likely to happen at night when temperatures drop. Here’s how you can prevent it:

1. Smart Site Selection

Choosing the right camping spot can greatly reduce the chances of tent condensation:

Pick dry and elevated ground: Avoid low-lying areas where cold air and moisture collect, like creek beds or valley bottoms.
Stay away from water sources: Camping right by a lake or river can lead to higher humidity inside your tent.
Find a breeze: A light breeze can carry moisture away from your tent, helping to reduce condensation buildup.
Camp under trees: Tree canopies help create a warmer microclimate around your tent, which can reduce condensation on the tent walls. Just make sure to avoid dead trees or hanging branches for safety.

2. Ventilation

Ventilation is one of the most effective ways to prevent condensation. By allowing airflow through the tent, you reduce the difference in temperature and humidity between the inside and outside of the tent.

Open doors or windows: Partially unzip the door or vents at the top or bottom of your tent to promote airflow.
Lift the tent skirt: For tents with adjustable skirts, lifting the sides will increase ventilation and prevent condensation from building up inside. In our testing, a tight sod skirt vs a tent with a couple inch gap, the difference is condensation averages around 80 percent. The downside is more breeze.

3. Choose the Right Shelter Size

The number of people inside the tent can influence condensation:

Smaller tents with more occupants are more likely to experience condensation because more people mean more warm air and moisture in a confined space.
Larger tents with fewer people allow the moisture to spread out over a bigger area, reducing its impact.

How to Manage Tent Condensation

Even with preventive measures, condensation can still occur. Here’s how to deal with it:

1. Use Liners

Liners act as an interior shield that catches drips and directs moisture to the tent floor. This transforms a single-wall tent into a double-wall tent, providing an extra barrier against condensation.

2. Tent Stoves

Portable wood stoves are a great way to dry out a tent in colder weather. The heat from the stove warms the air inside, allowing it to hold more moisture, which in turn evaporates condensation. Additionally, tent stoves can help dry wet gear inside the tent, further reducing moisture levels.

3. Drying with a Cloth

Quick wipe-downs with a cloth or microfiber towel can effectively manage condensation. Simply wipe down the inside of the tent to remove moisture and prevent it from dripping onto your gear.

Why Does Tent Condensation Happen?

Understanding why condensation happens can help you manage it better. The key factor is the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tent. Here’s a breakdown:

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When the air inside the tent cools down (especially overnight), the moisture in the warm air condenses onto the cooler tent walls.
Humans release moisture: Every breath you exhale adds water vapor to the air inside the tent.
Body heat: At 98.6°F, your body is a natural heat source. When warm, moist air from your breath and body meets the cooler tent fabric, condensation forms.

Why Is Tent Condensation a Problem?

Condensation can range from a mild inconvenience to a trip-ruining nuisance. Here’s why it’s worth taking seriously:

Minor inconvenience: A light film of moisture on the tent walls may not seem like a big deal, but brushing against it can soak your clothes or sleeping bag.
Major annoyance: When heavy condensation accumulates, a rainstorm or strong wind can shake loose the droplets, causing a misty, damp environment inside the tent.

In severe cases, the interior of the tent can become saturated with moisture, leaving your gear damp and your morale low. Luckily, this scenario is avoidable with proper site selection, ventilation, and condensation management strategies.

Effective Solutions for Tent Condensation

Here’s how to address both sides of the condensation equation:

Control warm, moist air inside: Improve airflow and ventilation to move moisture out of the tent.
Handle cold air outside: Prevent the warm air inside from coming into contact with the colder tent canopy by using liners or increasing airflow.

Final Tips: Ventilation, Site Selection, and Shelter Size

Ventilation is key: Adjust your tent’s doors and skirts to maximize airflow without making your tent too drafty. More airflow means less condensation.
Select your campsite carefully: Avoid damp, low-lying areas and seek spots with a natural breeze.
Consider tent size: Larger tents with fewer people reduce condensation risks. If you’re in a smaller tent, focus on airflow and other strategies to minimize moisture.

Tent condensation is inevitable at times, but with the right approach, it doesn’t have to ruin your camping experience. Use these strategies to stay dry and comfortable, even in humid or cold conditions.

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is not a concern in these shelters due to the peak vent and air flow from the zipper and sod skirt. If necessary, leave a door unzipped for more venting.

FAQ:

Does the 8 person tipi have interior hang loops for drying?

The method we prefer is a prusik knot on the pole for both drying heavy gear and attaching a nest. The prusik on a pole method is strong and secure.

What about condensation?

It's single wall, there will be condensation in some conditions. Liners help a lot, as do stoves. Mostly you just have to learn to manage it. Read 5 Ways to Manage Condensation in Seek Outside Tents above

Seek Outside Warranty, Repair & Return Policy

Warranty | Repair | Return

Warranty Policy

We offer a lifetime guarantee on workmanship and material defects to the original owner.

Warranty Exclusions:

We want to insure you many years of use for our products. Take a moment to read what our warranty does NOT cover. Our Fabric and construction methods are robust. Our tents can withstand harsh conditions and environments when properly cared for. Although they are backcountry palaces they are not cabins, or permanent homes. All cases are unique, and we will work with you to the best of our abilities. We can happily sew torn tents, after your Mule gets caught in the guy lines, or if the Bear that visited your tent three nights in a row left you some peep holes, or if you boat flies into your tent in the middle of the night in a big windstorm. We will repair your item whenever possible, but sometimes the damage is too much for us to fix and your item will need to be replaced.

That being stated, we do not warranty the following:

Damage due to neglect and or misuse is not covered
Damage from stacking rocks on the sod skirt- this is not recommended, and it will result in damage
Damage from animals, dogs, bears, badgers, and household cats etc.
Falling trees, branches, or flying boats.
Damage from excessive UV exposure. Our tents handle UV well, but UV will degrade any fabric over time. If reinforcements and thread color has faded due to sun, it has been in the sun too much.
Damage from excessive snow load if left unattended. (Backcountry palace, but not a permanent structure)
Zipper/ Fabric damage from Sand, dirt, and mud can degrade the silicone coating on the fabric by wearing it off. It is best to try to minimize sand, or to gently wash it off, when possible. Do not scrub the fabric. Keep zippers clean and free of heavy sand; frequent exposure to dirt or sand can wear out the zipper pulls very quickly.
Damage from washing a tent in an agitating washing machine. You can use a washing machine with no agitator to rinse your tent on gentle cycle- water only. Then hang to dry.
Damage from applying unapproved chemicals to the fabric, such as Deet or any bug spray, laundry soap, perfumes, or sunscreens.
Carbon pole warranty is limited to one year from purchase date. With a heavy snow load, the carbon pole will fail before your tent does.

Although our products are made to stand the test of time, all materials and products are subject to wear and tear.

The following items are normal wear and tear and not covered under warranty:

Stove jack fraying, or damage from the pipe not being secure in wind. It is normal for the stove jack to have some wear and tear over time, we can easily repair and/or replace.
When using a stove, small pinhole burns can happen (this is not covered, but is easily repairable at home)
Sand can degrade the zipper pulls, It is best to try to minimize sand, and keep your zippers clean. If your zippers are not staying closed, likely the pulls are worn out and can be replaced. We use the highest quality zippers in the industry, Zippers are wear items, dirt and sand will wear the zipper out much faster.
