[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1697673, member: 90080"] Probably the best tarp for tipi pitch is the DD Hammocks XL tarp. Ships from GB for $83 dollars, by Amazon. Got mine in 4 days for a backup tarp. It's 4.5 m x 3m, so 15'x10', a bit larger than my 13'x10' AquaQuest. Just Google tipi pitch with XL DD tarp on YouTube by Papa Hiker. Just practice the pitch til you have it down pat, before your hunt. I have an 8' collapsible pole, but usually just cut a pole from what is available. I also take a 8'x10' tarp for a cooking shelter, a good distance away. I use a Marmot 0* down bag, no complaints. If the weather is possibly under 10*, I also take my down quilt. I also take a couple of SOL emergency blankets, one for ground sheet and one to reflect heat from my fire, if necessary. A bivy bag in the tipi adds warmth, I use a Slumberjack with the hooped head & foot for more room. [/QUOTE]
