I’ve been using the SeekOutside 8 man Teepee and stove on most of my backcountry hunts for the past 3 years. This video shows how to set up the teepee using the center pole as a radial measuring stick which allows you to get it right the first time every time, no need to adjust stakes after the initial setup. I also discuss some of the ups and downs of floorless shelters from real world experience.
The 8 man is big enough for 4 guys and all the gear for a 10 day hunting trip but that’s about as many dudes as I’d want to cram into the shelter for any length of time. Three guys would be a little better, and two with stove and all the gear allows way more than enough room. Although the 8 man is overkill for one guy backpacking it's very doable if a few guys are going and want to split gear between themselves.
The ultralight wood stove is an absolute game changer for late season backcountry hunts or winter camping trips. Being able to get a fire going, put the coffee on, and warm the tent before ever getting out of your sleeping bag will make getting up on those frigid mornings a pleasure (come on, you know you’re guilty of not wanting to get out of your bag when the temperature plummets)!
We had the teepee out last year on a late season elk hunt when the temperature was way below zero, minus 13 before wind chill to be exact. But even with subzero temps you could get the tent to 70 degrees in just a few minutes and have to coffee brewing before ever slipping out of your snug down bag. You know what, forget that, it’ll make you soft. You should forget all that and cultivate a tough mental attitude…
Seriously though, I’ve been very impressed with how well this system works. The tent and stove are very light weight, made in the USA, constructed very well, and has not let me down in three years of hard use in Idaho’s backcountry. If you’ve got any questions about this set up or any of the gear I use, just leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer your questions.
