:yeah:

It's no threadjack.

Drying is not a big deal with SO tipis. Drape over your car in the garage overnight.  They arent like wall tents.  I just drape mine over a couple chairs in the spare room.

That's been my experience with silnylon tarps and ponchos, and my expectation for a tipi.  Couple that with ability to pack and USA made, I think I am going SO, before the sale ends.  I'll get the nest later, if necessary.

Jonathan_S made some I believe. Not sure if he actually makes them to sell.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I bought a SO 8 man about a year ago and have 20-25 nights in it. No complaints whatsoever. I’ve used it as a base camp tent on short weekend hunts when setting up a wall tent wasn’t worth the effort and I’ve hauled it into the backcountry for wilderness hunts. It’s held up in all conditions, kept me warm, dry and in good spirits.  Even took it to the beach for a warning hut during razor clam digs. The family and friends love it too.
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

I have multiple shelters from Jon and they are top notch.  He will build you whatever you want  :tup:

I also have a Jon S shelter and a tarp. Great quality.
