anyone who tries to discredit your tips and tricks are simply ignorant. Your hunting resume speaks for itself. Rough and tough hunts is what y’all are known for and every time I get questions from buddies of mine about the logistics of backcountry hunts, I refer them to your channel. Wealth of knowledge no doubt 🤝
Man, I knew nothing and had Zero interest in a TeePee. So many advantages I never thought of or realized. Now I may go get one of these and a stove from Peax. Thanks so much Brian for this review. Great detail and just well presented. Nice work. Bring back The Gritty Spaniard 😂 love that guy. So funny.
I was on a Mule deer hunt in New Mexico using my sawtooth , and a big storm hit @ 2am the sandy ground softened and my front stakes pulled , I spent the next 2-3 hrs sitting in the middle huddled around my stove in my underwear with the teepee wrapped around me and my gear . After the storm blew out I got everything re- erected, made a fire and dried everything out . I've upgraded my stacks to the MSR long spiral stakes and it helped tremendously. I laugh my ass off every time I remember that hunt . You learn a new trick each time you get to take them out . Thank you guys for the content and tips .
Haha that can make for one memorable night. Glad you survived.
This Tipi is a game changer, I absolutely love mine and it's the best upgrade I made this year. I would be surprised to see a negative review on these. I've had 4 tips now and peax is hands down the best on the market.
Been a convert to tipis for a while now , ordered a peax , waiting on delivery to New Zealand now . Thanks for the discount code .
Thank you for the support and enjoy the tipi. Good luck to you on your hunts.
This is the tipi I’ve been waiting for. Good demo Brian.
Alright, you sold me. I need to get a stove shelter. One of the biggest mental barriers I haven't overcome is getting out of my warm sleeping bag in the morning. It's made me an exclusive evening hunter.
What are your tips and tricks to prevent water coming in from the bottom? I assume not all ground setups don’t slope away to prevent a stream flowing through the Tipi. Great and informational video
I have one and used it to camp in July. My brother was not happy that it wasn't sealed up. only got hit one night with mosquitoes during a rainstorm. This was a great video!!
Yep, the floor less thing can freak some folks out. I hope the mosquito tips we gave you in this video remedy all future buggy hunt trips you go on!
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast will see next time I use it. I do think I’m going to make my own bug net for just around the bottom.
@@codybrown9998 - Not a bad idea. A bug net is being tested now. It’s nice. But it’ll be awhile before it’s available.
Bug net would be awesome for the early season. Love the shelter as is though.
Very informed. I have an expensive want list now. Tipi, gators, treaking poles, intiial accent pack... man i need a second job!
Now I want to wait for this shelter. Gritty you are killing me with the choices. Wait or don’t wait….
Definitely layin' in wait for the cuben fiber of the Solitude. I've got a sil cimmaron I've been running and like it, but it does stretch and you gotta get the pitch just right. Thanks for the comprehensive review. Ha! over an hour on a tent - that's content!
great information, might have to put this on my list
Such a good honest review! This tipi is def on the wish list. Coming from backpacking, its hard to let go of those free standing tents ... but that stove option ... opens options
How's it work on mosquitoes? Ok. I found your previous response. Understand there's always a compromise. Thanks Brian
I definitely want the Cuban fiber version. Hope it’s available soon.
I hunt in Alaska where I am dealing with - 50 F while hunting. I have lived here for 26 years and am looking for a badass hot tent with room for 5 people and gear! We have a moose winter hunt up here in December!!!
Now I want a tipi I have no need for! Damn it!
I will use mine unless there are too many bugs, snakes are an issue in AZ but yes it's a cool piece of gear.
I love mine! :) putting it to work tonight!
What length stove pipe do you recommend. Thanks for the great content!
6 ft pipe is good. But I don’t mind a pipe that’s a little taller if you don’t mind the weight. Taller pipes keep more sparks away. But we usually just run a 6 foot or 6.5 foot pipe.
Hey Guys great vlog!
On other vlogs when TIPI hot tenting sparks from the stove landing on the tent seems to be a problem with a cantered stove hole.
On vlogs without this problem always seem to have the stove hole on the side and run the pipe at a 45 deg angle.
How do you avoid this issue?
Is it the stoves you use?
Happy Huntin!
What length of pipe on your stoves are you using for the peaks tipi. I want to use the seeks xl stove. Thanks for all your content!
Minimum length would be 7-1/2ft.
Do you have a video on how you choose where to set up your tipi? I saw you had it actually set up under a tree..
I want one of these . Arizona however is loaded with scorpions, snakes basically everything that crawls . At least in the early seasons this set up could be a problem . Still want one . Maybe a nest for early AZ hunts.
It’s in the works for a full nest system
Do you ever guy out your stove pipe? I also was wondering if you put anything in the peak between the tipi and pole? My other tipis I run a tennis ball cut in half on the top and bottom, helps protect the tipi, and stops the pole from sinking in soft ground.👍loved the video! Did you seam seal? Inside or out?
Great video, wish I had watched this prior to going on my Alaska moose hunt last year lol. Everything you said was spot on, regarding the mosquitos dying and how nice it is to have a stove. Question…how was standing up in the tent for you to change clothes? I found it difficult unless I took my walking sticks down and usually stepped outside to change--would like to minimize that as it can be really cold outside on an Alaskan morning…what “tips” do you have for that?
The best tip from us is we don't change our clothes much 😂. If we do we usually do it while sitting up on the sleeping pad, but we usually just sleep in our clothes.
Definitely sold on the tent! For a question about the floor less shelter. What is the best way to go about keeping bugs and ticks away in the summer. And then also the best way for snow in winter?
We do thorough tick checks before we go to bed and then again in the morning usually. We just use a 4'x8' piece of tyvek house wrap. Very puncture resistant and super light weight. We don't worry about bugs too much. The only place a nest system is worth it would be in areas with scorpions and the snakes are plentiful.
Definitely want this tipi!
Got one at western hunting expo and it’s awesome!
Great review and tips for setting up shelters in general. Not related tho, which lapponia boot is better, original or 2.0?
Both versions of the Lapponia are solid. The 2.0 is probably a little more durable. Both perform GREAT
Nice work Brian how about your favorite stoves?
Brad has been putting the Lite Outdoors stove to the test. He hasn't used the 18" in below freezing temps yet. 35 degrees is about the coldest temps he has used it in and said it kept the tipi comfortable for about 4-5 hours. We do like using the SXL from seek, but Lite Outdoors has and XL that is worth looking at. Brad's experience with the Lite Outdoors he was able to get that stove roaring and damp it down to run for hours.
Is brad running the stove baffle in the light outdoors stove ?
Always great content. Stay gritty
i have a solo hunt next October in Idaho. Ive never used a hot shelter, and im wondering i would regret not running a stove at that time in that state. Anyone thats been there at that time please feel free to give your input. I wont have anyone to share the load, would this be worth the added weight.
I would highly recommend to NOT
Any need to worry about carbon monoxide? Especially when snow completely seals the bottom edge. Thanks for the great review!
Not at all. And if you are worried about it you can keep the vents open and even crack the door a bit.
How's that DCF version coming along?
It will be available soon.
Awesome video sir. Are you allowed to share an eta on the release of the peax sleeping bags? Thanks
Soon. That’s all I have 😂
That was a great deep dive on the Solitude Brian. I'm definitely sold on the tipi stove combo for sure and will have to save up for this one in particular. Would you say this rig would be good for a solo hunter on foot?
Nate
Hey Nate! This is a great solo shelter. I’ve used this on many solo adventures. The DCF version (weighs 40% less) will be even better as a solo shelter-but it’s not available until next year. You could shave some weight by getting a Seek Outside Silex for a solo shelter. But I would rather carry a the extra ounces for the comfort and convenience of the PEAX Solitude. And this is even more true if it’s gonna be a wet/cold hunt. I primarily use my Silex for steep, warmer, semi-dry hunts that generally don’t need a stove. Otherwise I pack the PEAX tipi.
Thanks for the good points. The silex was a possibility as well with its inner nest to make an all season shelter but with the solitude coming out with a nest in the future it takes away that advantage. @@GrittyGearAndPodcast
Love the design of this thing is there a plan for a 6 or 8 man with this design
Possibly in the future.
Great video and very informative! I missed the info on keeping mosquitos out, what did you recommend?
Stopping mosquitoes is a multi-pronged approach. Some steps include: Stake the tipi to the ground. Stack your gear inside around the bottom edges of the tipi where there’s a gap. Push a little dirt or some sticks around the bottom of the tipi on the outside. Light a fire in a wood stove-mosquitoes die within minutes of a hot stove burning. Always bring a head net. And lastly, use this device made by Thermacell: www.cabelas.com/shop/en/thermacell-backpacker-mosquito-repeller?ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=Cabelas%7CShopping%7CPMax%7CCamping%7CGeneral%7CNAud%7CNVol%7CNMT&&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn96V85_bgAMVsjKtBh3fxgqdEAQYAiABEgJqvvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast appreciate it!! Love the tipi and this video made me love it more
Outstanding!
What do you when there's heavy bugs without the floor?
We haven't had many issues with bugs. If the mosquitos are out in full force we can run the stove and the heat takes care of them quickly. If we know we are going to be in an area like Alaska that has a ton of bugs we will bring the thermacell backpacker and run that from time to time. Also, Peax does have a full and half nest system coming out in the near future.
Ahhh alright. I live in an area that typically has heavy bugs and don’t plan to run a stove.
How close is the stove, stove pipe to the carbon fiber tent pole? Have you had any issues with the tent pole getting to hot? Thanks in advance! Stay Gritty!
It is dang close, but we have never had issues with it.
Damit... the are currently sold out.. the wifey will be happy about that.
Got one for this season. Have to say from its setup, it is “Solid” in construction. I highly recommend. Super excited to get into the backcountry this Fall! 😃👍🏻
How do these handle snow loading?
Handles snow load like a champ. Snow falls off and builds up on the side. Takes feet of snow to pile around the shelter before the snow even begins to encroach on the interior space. And all we do is run the stove and the snow melts and we occasionally push out on the side wall of the tent and the snow is never an issue. We’ve been in 2+ feet of snow fall and it wasn’t a problem at all.
Great review and walkthrough. Curious what the weight difference is between the prototype Dyneema and silnylon versions?
Usually the DCF fabric cuts the weight nearly in half. So, about 40-50% lighter.
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast awesome thank you, wasn’t sure how much of the tent weight was comprised from zippers/other material aside from the silnylon/Dyneema. I have the Dyneema Cimarron now and I’m looking forward to the peax in Dyneema as well!
Ok I wanna upgrade.
How has this handled high winds? I’ve seen 70 mph winds on my Alaska Sheep Hunt.
Incredibly well. We have been in super high winds with other tipi setups and they handle the wind ok. When you stick the trekking poles in the upper canopy to brace the tipi it next level with the Peax. The crosstrekker system really stiffens it up.
Love the content. Keep up the great work. What ground cover are you running on this set up?
The Seek Outside ground cloth is the best we’ve found.
We also use Tyvek that we soften in the wash.
I remember you saying you used tyvek in a seperate vid. I just ordered my tipi from gohunt. Used GRITTY!
@@squeekyclean6377 ✊🏼🙏🏼
I just wish they had an inner shell
The nest system will be out shortly 👍
@@GrittyGearAndPodcastawesome! I just want it able to be sealed off so in the summer I can choose to carry a tiny bit more weight in order to ensure I'm not waking up with a rattlesnake or a scorpion when hiking in the desert. Want it to be my go to tent for everything including not just hunting late season
Just got my tipi two day ago can’t wait to try it. How long of stove pipe are you using
6 ft pipe is good. But I don’t mind a pipe that’s a little taller if you don’t mind the weight. Taller pipes keep more sparks away. But we usually just run a 6 foot or 6.5 foot pipe.
Awesome thanks for the reply
What stakes do you like besides groundhogs? what are a few upgraded stakes do you recommend?
If you are in really sandy areas or an area where the ground isn't real tight I recommend using the MSR Cyclone stakes. Even if you just put them on the 4 corners it helps a ton.
What did you say you used for a fire starter? I replayed it a couple of times but couldn't catch it. Thanks.
We use Esbit tablets.
What pick was Ryan using to level the ground to pitch the tipi?
We like the Petzle Ride. The pick Ryan was using was a little bigger but we had llamas packing it. Normally, we stick with the Ride.
When do the entries to win the gear end? On the video, it just says August. Thanks, Mike
August 20, at midnight.
Can you guys recommend a good organic coffee?
That’s a Sthealthy Hunter question-he’s a connoisseur. In fact, he might sell some. Go to Sthealthy Hunter and hit them up. 👍🏼
Do you guys seam seal your tipis at all or just rock them out of the box?
Rocked them out of the box. After a year or so we’ll do some seam sealing.
Why don’t any of the high end tipis have sod skirts?
Fair question. Weight. Sod skirts add too much weight but not enough benefit. We can stake this to the ground and push dirt or snow against the sidewall and accomplish the same results without adding the weight of a sod skirt.
Which model of PETZL ice axe are you guys using for excavating?
PETZLE Ride. 👍🏼
Great video, very helpful. Had one thought, what about have the 4 corners that you stake out first a different color so it makes it that much quicker to set up? Just a thought. Love you guys and everything you are doing. Stay Gritty!
Do you have to Seam seal before use?
It is recommended. The seams are taped, but they are not seam sealed.
What keeps the pole tip from poking a hole in the side?
There are built-in pockets for protection that prevent that from happening.
Nice.
@@thevoyageur2152 - Yes, we like the SXL for late season and the Large U-turn for other times of year.
Is that cork handles on sissy sick’s?
Yes! PEAX has cork handled poles now! Woot! Woot!
Anyone had this next to the Argali absaroka . I have a argali in the mail.
It has a lot more room and has a better structure with the trekking pole braces. We haven’t used it, but we have looked at it very closely and spoke with others that have had experience with it.
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast yeah the trek pole brace is smart, The argali is 84sq feet living space and and 74’ tall. But no braces. Thanks for all the awesome content and messing up my happiness , making me rethink my purchase. Happy hunting
@@jklo1313- Sorry brother. The Argali is not as big as it seems. Of the tipis on the market, it ranks near the bottom for me. Stake it all the way to the ground and it gets real small, real quick.
Knock it off Brian! I am trying to save money to go to WY in six weeks. NOT FUNNY!🤪
Do you ever guy out your stove pipe? I also was wondering if you put anything in the peak between the tipi and pole? My other tipis I run a tennis ball cut in half on the top and bottom, helps protect the tipi, and stops the pole from sinking in soft ground.👍loved the video! Did you seam seal? Inside or out?
We haven't found it necessary to guy out the stove pipe, yet. We don't run anything between the pole and the tipi because this tipi was designed to handle the pole rubbing and the tension of the tipi being pulled down on to the pole. Over the years of testing we haven't had any issues with it. It is recommended to seam seal the tipi. The seams are taped, but they are not sealed.
