Lightweight Tipi Tent for Living?! SAFIR 7 TENTIPI REVIEW- Can You Live in a TIpi in the Desert?

Is this a good option for nomadic living?
Jane has tested out the tipi in the wind for 3 months. The challenge in the desert is the wind. I have been looking for a decent tipi that can withstand the elements! It is made with world-class fabrics and is one of the most versatile and advanced tents on the market.

Just wanted to tip my hat to the strong, bold, trailblazing ladies in this outdoor life realm. Bob has been so great at highlighting their fierce independence! 💪🏾 Muchas gracias, Bob!

[@rockymountainpublicsafety1397]

I lived in a 28 ft diameter tipi for 4 years, as my ONLY home. Grateful, lots of work, but you can't beat it.. a real tipi

[@grannieannie1371]

Polyester/cotton is an incredible fabric for tents. In Australia a lot of our tents are made out of this fabric. Breathability of cotton and the strength of polyester.

[@jeepliving1]

I just upgraded to a Browning 10'x15' cabin tent and have the same issues with winds. The tent can handle the wind but the noise and flapping makes for too much bedlam to sleep in it. I've been wondering if a tipi would mitigate the wind issue but sounds like not. I would stay with the cabin tent. It's $350 instead of $2200. It's much bigger in floor area, which is all usable since it has nearly straight sides. The ceiling height is a little over 7' so no problems standing. I also prefer having an integral floor to keep out the varmints. With the window panels unzipped, the ventilation is phenomenal. And if the rain fly isn't needed, the whole roof is mesh giving a terrific view of the stars at night. I like the romance of the tipi, but could never justify 6X the cost for smaller, darker living space. I appreciate the review, though. It was very informative.

[@mrspeigle1]

Advantage of this design is portability and ease of setup. Wich is king under the right circumstances. Personally I would go for a yurt design if it were my wife and I were traveling via minivan, but those are a pita to setup and take down.

[@lunzie01]

A traditional Sioux tipi's fabric is pulled very taut and doesn't flap in the breeze. They are very sturdy but require many long heavy poles. (See the old book, The Indian Tipi, by Reginald Laubin.) I'd like to see someone make a production Sioux tipi with collapsible lightweight poles.

[@mrspeigle1]

@@lunzie01 idk if it would be practical from a cost and convenience standpoint. The more poles you add the higher the cost and greater weight and bulk plus ease of setup suffers as well. Remember the old Lakota tipis had alot of extra pairs of hands during setup and takedown.

[@shaunhall6834]

Love this! I'm using a tent/suv. At this time using a Walmart tent when the weather is good. I'm currently designing an A-frame Viking tent to save money and have a very durable tent. Thank you HOWA for providing tents for folks.

[@MichaelSmith-xk5dg]

She is such a gracious and giving person. Great interview, Bob.

[@elevatedgrubgardens118]

Me and my wife lived in a teepee for a few months in Zapata Falls Colorado

[@Woburn-RoxburyMedia]

Bob & this Channel are all about Paying-It-Forward ! Keep up the great work & may more people seeking the nomadic lifestyle be enabled by you & your teams noble work !

[@mhayes6864]

If I had one, I would miss windows and I think I’d pitch it where it can stay up longer than maximum of 14 days or less. I agree w her to relinquish it to someone that really needs it and that could really make a difference in the quality of their living. Great review! Thank you!

[@justmonathefurcrew9009]

I love teepees! I have friends and family who live on the reservation. When I come for a visit they've already put it up the teepee for me at the back of their trailer. A few of us sleep out there and talk to Night Away but never Disturbed any of the older or younger members of the household. When the tornado came through it took out their last trailer basement over 2 years in the teepees while they waited for the new trailer. You know they're well-made when you can sleep in them through an Idaho winter!

[@garytheprogressivelibertar560]

I agree . I have a 8×8 canvas tent . It's got windows and a foor . Only $500 . I'm sure both have there advantages and disadvantages but I see more upside in a real tent .

[@justmonathefurcrew9009]

@@garytheprogressivelibertar560 growing up we always had canvas tents, it was a military thing. I never had floors, and neither do the teepees. We did make fires in the ground near the front of the teepee or tent. We used rugs around the edge of either to block the drafts. I'll have to say we did all the things they tell you not to now

[@samreh6156]

Wow, she's got a big heart. What a noble woman!

[@cheri6174]

Thank you for all you do to teach and support. Everyone else gets notoriety and their heads get big. You didn’t do that. My heart aches for your loss. I know your pain unfortunately. Bless you sir

[@tomh7708]

Wow! What a thoughtful lady.

[@charofheart37]

Yay 🥳 this Teepee is as sturdy as I had hoped. Thank you Ms. for the review and your time and thank you Bob for sharing! 🤗❤️👍🏾💯

[@barbaragriffin869]

Great information and Jane was a lovely presenter!

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

I love this. A tipi or yurt would be my cup of tea.

[@mamboman2]

I have a Safir 5 for years, I plan to get the 9, it is the best tent I have ever had.

[@jawalakhel4606]

Hi there. Would you get the 9 if you are on your own?

[@paulhornbuckle9201]

It’s very much doable to live in something like that. I lived in a large bell tent in the desert for 3 months. And I was driving a Fiat and was still able to pack everything I needed along with the tent.

[@westcoastwonderers1060]

I agree with JeepLiving. $2,200 seems a bit steep without an integral floor.

[@billgrivis2238]

These are some of the finest people in the world. Thank you !!

[@Morongobill]

I have been waiting for this followup video. Great results!

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

I've always wanted to live in a tipi and have decorated my humble home (which is not a tipi) accordingly. I need this one in my back yard.

[@ValerieVitality]

Bravo!

[@sldrgrl20downzerotogo11]

I would use the tent for an outdoor living space, but I'd also need a car/SUV (something that could be locked) as sleeping quarters so that I would feel more safe and secure.

[@steveflinn6]

Right. Or sleep a ways off in a tent that works better in the wind.

[@akowboysjourney9514]

Stay strong 💪family 💪🙏🤠

[@frankungaro237]

Thumbs up Bob thank you

[@deborahhatswellbbr]

Im in the UK and do a lot of outdoor wild camping. We have a teepeee tent as it is easy to put up and we have sailed through several really bad storms with no problems at all. Once in the high peaks we had 40 mph winds and lightening that was hitting the floor and the rain as so bad it flattened other peoples tents, ours had no problems at all. I would highly recommend. Also realy easy for my care needs as I can use my wheelchair inside the teepee.

[@GigglesDaDevil]

Thank you for inviting us into your home.. I love how down to earth she is .. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

[@vannemocilac274]

Glad it worked so well!

[@jaydmix09]

Great video loved it

[@MissCharliechop]

Another great video Bob! I don't use one but love that she mentioned the Cpap machine with water and how many nights she gets on a charge. Shows even people with some medical issues can be comfortable and take care of their health while in this lifestyle.

[@jeanmkelly1933]

Cool tent. It is so refreshing to hear someone say that they consider the needs of someone else. I am so excited that I will be going to the RTR. This is a community that I want to meet.

[@michaeldean8193]

GOD BLESS THAT LADY !

[@nmr6988]

it's great to have options! The Tentipi is a very nice option for people who perhaps want more overhead space or to have what they feel is a more natural living space.

[@darlinda9566]

that hat ! I'm in love with the dark lining and comfortable looking !

[@mattberry4457]

i think a shift pod would be ideal for long term tent living. it has a zip in floor, is insulated from the heat and cold, sets up in two minutes and runs around 1500 plus shipping for a twelve foot hexagon.

[@donteatthefoxgloves377]

Another tent without a bathtub floor? For $2,200 I wouldn’t want a tent that allows all manner of critters to join me for the night, or the rain. How would I keep my dog from getting out? I think what would bother me the most is not being able to look outside without leaving the tipi? And does dust come flying under the sides when it’s windy?I’m waiting for you to find a geodesic dome style tent, Bob.

[@bonniehocking7694]

Very generous! Very nice too!

[@mariesonoma]

I like the color of it

[@danhold1]

I have this tent and I love it..I stay in it about 2 months a year

[@HeathDawsonFirefoxBushcraft]

Just got to the 20 year point with my tentipi,still great.

[@pupcamper58]

The only thing I don’t like about it is it doesn’t have a floor so you’re subject to whatever creepy crawlers are running around. Tarantulas and scorpions and an array of other critters.

[@stephaniesimmons-ashorobi3314]

This is unique!.

[@anybodyoutthere3208]

Was that a drone buzzing around endlessly outside her tipi Or bees swarming outside the tipi I’m miffed??

[@dojakatt1724]

I love ❤️ to live off grind.

[@mrkim5644]

Adding an inner room makes in more cozy and big free.

[@DeborahCaldwell77]

Oh THANK you

[@tedQAZ]

You got to be kidding a $2200 tent with no floor! We get desert down pours of rain that can leave 2 inches of standing water behind. This tent might keep your head dry but your feet 2 inches in water. The woman spoke of withstanding 45 mph hour winds what she didnt talk about was all the sand and wind blowing in under the walls. You would be better off buying a $10 tarp and sleeping on the ground. No wonder the woman returned it.

[@hshalom9113]

I've never had a problem returning any tent or screenhouse. I cam (and do) glamp camp for less than that tent. Three room tent with screen porch, dining tent with windows & ventalation for the kitchen with a combo stove/oven and a two room shower tent. Plus the camp "furinture". All fit in the trunk & put it up myself. We each camp our own way.

[@maureenwall2214]

A Sibley is a great tent and has a floor in. It’s canvas and very durable, you might check it out.

[@cherjohnson3368]

Thank you

[@brianleonard6885]

Bravo 👏

[@francismcclaughry3794]

I have a Wal Mart version I have camped in it often. it is nothing near this, but two cots. to adults and a German shepard and a rat dog. o tips are a lot of fun.

[@RoryVanucchi]

Great tent. Even a cheap tent good for storage if car or truck loaded.

[@denisedaigle7006]

OMG it's awesome

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Wow! That is truly out in the middle of nowhere!

[@flashthompson7]

Thank you God bless

[@davidleigh443]

Too bad the tipi did not have a floor the zippered to the top to keep danger noodles out.

[@lifeoflucretia]

Good information 👍. LUCRETIA

[@itsmimiyallxoxo5624]

Thats a really COOL TiPi!!! As a single woman I think i would be scared tho- of bears and serial killers. I think i would feel safer in my minivan for sure. The extra space is really nice tho.

[@GManWrites]

It's so strange seeing you in the warm and sun, it's 19.4 degrees fahrenheit here in Vancouver at the moment with a wind chill of 14 degrees fahrenheit.

[@lunzie01]

This tent/tipi looks very interesting! As a long-time tent camper, I wonder how she keeps the rain from running under the edges of the tent and under/over/around her floor tarp?

[@jimwortham8634]

Thanks for posting would like video of thing setting 10 up if it's a big deal hassle or not all about looks good

[@kccorliss3922]

Would a clam x400 pop up shelter be easier to set up? More insulated? More usable space? Cheaper too.

[@seanh4841]

I have a Zempire Monstamat self inflating mat, I'm 100 kilos and man what a great night sleep I get

[@WhiteBirdMustFly1]

In hurricane winds add gusts of that speed 35-45mph, would be a real test, rains and cold are 25-51 degree temps, this Christmas time of year. In Oregon NW, this would not work? 100mph + with combined winds add gusts. Temps? Internal heat source used? Set up and breakdown? Do not store food inside or cook in it, as to go bear might need your picnic basket.

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

Most people living this way don’t go where there are tornadoes.

[@naturesfriend812]

Where did she get her wide brim hat? Amazing sun protection.

[@francismcclaughry3794]

looks like it does not have a floor. Is it bring your own tarp?

[@SlowPCGaming1]

At 14:00 there is a weird whirring or buzzing noise. I was wondering what that might have been. How would this work for a 6 foot or taller person?

[@NYCHFAN]

But how hard to set up and take down? Can 1 person do it?

[@mrshawnceo]

Hey Bob.

[@justrelax9051]

When it rains ??? Snakes etc??? Wet floor??? Explain please 🙏❤️🌟

[@curtissorg4687]

Can you put a small wood stove in the tipi?

[@Morongobill]

Absolutely. Bob did mention it.

[@Homer2q]

That’s great to see the follow up on the tipi tent. I’m really interested in it.

[@kayakcobber524]

Just buy a large 4*4 meter tarp and a telescope pole and you can fold your own tent...works perfect

[@SuzanneWho]

Has anyone used the tents that attach to the back of a car/van?

[@daisyv5038]

I've seen those on Pintrest, but not on YT yet. I'd like to see it demonstrated, too!

[@SuzanneWho]

@@daisyv5038 I’m sure there must be a video somewhere on KZbin. I’ve known about these for years - was thinking of getting one but my car now is old and needs to be replaced, so have to wait. You can probably Google car tents and come up with something. 😀

[@Loruca]

I've seen them on youtube. Couldn't give you a link, but they're there.

[@championslayers]

First Comment!

[@GilbertNichols]

If it works for native Americans it would be good for anyone.

[@seanh4841]

If it fits on the floor then that's not too big

[@amazingso]

Tent, Tee Pee, Tent TiPi, Please make up your mind as to what you call it...

[@vision78678]

can never be alternative of campvan.......yes she should raise top of car and buil inside complete camper......however you can have additional tent with you plus shower tent too.....just to use whenever you think it is more better to come out in wild nature
