Thread: TENT; MIA vs Smith

G'day guys, so looking at one of these tents. Have only seen the MIA on vids. Is the Smith tent a better option?
Has anyone got first hand knowledge in either of these tents?
Thanks

Have a look at the beregs sarvo sells

Yep, definitely check out the Bereg tents Sarvo's got.

Russian/European made - absolutely bomb proof.

Been talking to R93 about his one from you, he’s very impressed and happy, very solid. Unlike his old tent that collapsed on us at 2am in a west coast storm.

Good timing as just sorting another 2 men on them :-)

I have seen those on previous posts @Sarvo
Would they handle a snow loading?

What does the shape remind you of
Igloo ??
Prob the oldest accommodations of a man kind on the planet in such climates

These are made and designed for meters of snow for winter Lake fishing in Siberia at -40c +
Can snow stay on an Egg :-)
These have a huge snow skirt to - anyway watch the clips

Thanks will pm

Do the tents come with the stove jack stitched in?
Your video looks like there is a fireproof liner all the way up the wall behind the chimney, is that standard or did you put it in?

Cheers

That is interesting you say that as I got the impression from the pics that the Smith was made from a better material
