Sorry for the long lag dude, I’ve been traveling through SE Asia and Patagonia since October.
Anyways, I just got back and set up the Redcliff in my brothers back yard to see how hard it is to set up and I wanted to burn in the new stove..
Total set up time for the tipi was about 15 minutes (was our first time ever). We have it down now and next time should be in the 5 minute time frame.. my cylinder stove took about 15 min total to set up as well.. the hardest part was bending the stovepipe into the correct shape. I’ve been told though this will now be much easier since being “burned in”.
There’s definitely enough room for 3 guys, our gear and the stove. Maybe even a little room for some firewood. For two guys this place is huge! I’ll use it solo for car camping or base camp style hunts.. money well spent and can’t wait to use this thing in the back country! It’s definitely an expensive set up, but hopefully it pays off with lots of good times being warm and dry in the back country!
It’s pretty crazy watching that stove and pipe glow red hot while sitting in there at night, but man that thing throws off some heat. It was in the mid-30’s this night and inside the tent was easily 80-90 degrees.
