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

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.Quote:

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 pmQuote:

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 materialQuote:

Also have a closable vent at floor level behind stove in wall of Tent for air to come in
Any chance of a price list / availability on the tents? Your google drive links don’t work, for me at least.
Can someone else try the Google Cloud linksQuote:

There are "many" options in Tents and Stoves
But my Tent above
The UP 2 which I just sold 7 of = $1665
The Stoves that went with those Tents sold = $595
Per m2 internal (floor area)
These price less than the other makes above
Then you need to also note the additional features these have - a sizable list actually
Not to mention
Vestibules as addons
Can attach Tents together
That is just addition to outside them
Work off this Canadian site - but use their prices as NZ$ prices

@Sarvo cloud links work for me.
Thank Keith
The Smith tent is better quality than MIA, that said the MIA is fine and fit for purpose.
Sarvo's tents have certainly got our attention, they look pretty well made.
Will keep an eye/ear out for reviews from kiwi hunters...coming soon hopefully?
If anyone wants to see one of Sarvo's UP2 tents in person, down south, Let me know as there is one in my garage.Quote:

So if he wants he can put stove (he has the Medium) out in the Vesti with table an sleep 5 in Tent on stretchers and still room to party :-)

Because of the circular interior shape and the fact you can touch sides with out getting wet
We have many other designs too
Best to say what you want in way of people (adult or children)
Other Tents I have seen - you can only stand under the middle center ridge line and cannot have bedding etc touching the sides - hence a lot of wasted space that is limited anyway
Anyway - look at this Canadian site
They have the 3 main UP models and a interior viewing option etc
Many other videos etc
