Hey guys,
Last week we had our first overnighter in the new lavvu. It was great! It was a first for all of us. New tent, mats, bags etc. We had a great time. We really needed to get out and relax for a bit. The loss of our dog has hit us hard. We missed him a lot on this trip. But, we also got a change to finally relax and enjoy ourselves without him. Although it's not same and a bit weird.
A bit about the gear.
The tent is a Bison Tundra 8 lavvu. Single walled, no ground sheet tipi style tent. 3.5 meters high and 5 meters diameter. That's a lot of room! I bought a Kni-Co Alaskan stove for it and it works very good.
We (wife and I) slept on Exped down mats 7 in Mountain Equipment dreamcatcher down bags and they performed excellent. A bit warm for me, very good for my wife. We had the little one in her own tent which we put in the lavvu. She slept remarkably well. That's it for now, we had a taste of camping and we can't wait to get out again! Here are some photo's.
