Well in my quest to see what else it out there I ran across the campingforums.com here and thought I would join and read around. As a bit of background over the years I did a bit of tent camping and hammock camping but never really enjoyed either. To cramped for space or not enough head room, not that I am tall by any means but a bit of space to stretch out it a nice thing. About 2 years ago I started researching Tipis, popups, camper vans, wall tents and just about everything else. A few months in we decided we really liked the Tipi design so another 9 months of searching and asking tons of questions with many makers we finally decided on a Tentipi Safir9 CP last May. In the last year we have had it setup over 50 days and slept in it over 30 of them. Slept out in a couple of brutal storms and the one time I took it down I'm glad I did as we got 100 mph straight line winds that stuck a tree right where it had been setup. We prefer to camp and relax with a bit of fishing mixed in though I figured I would do more fishing but relaxing seems to win out. A few pictures from our first outing of the year a few weeks back. In 2 weeks we are headed out for another long weekend once our weekend obligations free us up.
