TENTIPI OLIVIN 2 CP TIPI TENT REVIEW | TESTED WITH WINNERWELL STOVE

The Tentipi Olivin 2 CP is the smallest cotton/polyester tipi tent from this Swedish tentmaker. Is the Olivin 2 CP as good as its bigger brothers and sisters from Tentipi? As a bonus: I tested it with a Winnerwell stove. Watch the review!

There is nothing I can do about it, but I love tipi’s. Tipi’s are most of the time easy to pitch, they are sturdy, they are spacious, they have a unparalleled space to weight ratio, with the cotton/polyester they breath but still are waterproof and I can put my stove in them and have a nice fire when it is colder. This makes camping fun. Big time! I’ll say it again: I love tipi’s. And now there is the Tentipi Olivin 2 CP. The smallest cotton/polyester tipi from this Swedish tentmaker. Question: Is it as good as its bigger brothers and sisters?

Great review! Appreciate your honesty.

Thanks Andrew! I am torn between the love for (Ten)tipi's and the small details that - in my opinion - are missing. It still is a very nice tent but could be so much better. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe!. Gijs

[@smalandoutdoor3721]

Thanks for this great walkthrough of the pros and cons. You address the points I’ve been curious about, like why the polycotton goes all the way down, and why the ventilator strings can’t get attached to the side. You should contact Tentipi with your inputs. I had the Olivin 2 light before, and I emailed them several times with ideas for improvements, and they did address the issues I had with it in the updated version. I think user inputs are valued by any serious company.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Thank you so much fir your input. They know about my critics, I send it to them before shooting the review. And it is their tent😄. I have not heard anything back after the video is published. The tent will go back to them as soon as I had the chance to test with a smaller stove😉. It’s a pity we as Dutch are not allowed travel to Sweden this year otherwise... And thanks for the compliments! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs

My man, coming through again and again with quality content. I appreciate your review on the updated version of the Olivin! I didn’t know it comes in the Poly/Cotten. To me that makes this tent totally worth buying now.. I agree with the issue of the floor not being waterproof... Still... waiting for a better floor.. Hopefully someone’s listening. Keep bringing the great gear reviews!!

[@scottdierikx1639]

I’m really enjoying your reviews, especially these Tentipi ones. I like the idea of these tents and would love to get one someday. The only issue for me is that the floor to tent isn’t sealed, and that worries me in that we have a lot of snakes in Australia. I think waking up to find an Eastern Brown snake cuddled up with me some morning would have me quickly testing the burst-strength of the walls 🤔

[@bazzmidas]

Hoi Gijs, thank you for the excellent review. I really wanted to like this tent but the review confirmed what concerns me about this type of tent. If the floor could be zipped in with an instep to keep draft and moisture out it would be so much better.

Mooie tent, tipi model spreekt me altijd aan. Ook mooi dat je er een kacheltje in kan doen. Nadeel vind ik de openingen tussen grondzeil en tent. Komen denk ik teveel beestjes binnen gekropen. Ik zelf (na twee msr elixers verder) heb nu de msr habitude 6. Heel blij mee.Veel ruimte, hermetisch afgesloten van de beestjes ook.En makkelijk op te zetten zoals alle msr tenten. Zou hier wel een review van willen zien van jou.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Beestjes... ja, daar moet je een beetje van houden ;-). MSR... altijd eerste de binnentent opzetten. Onhandig met regen maar de zelfstandige binnententen altijd super als het warm is. Ik heb een paar tenten aangevraagd bij MSR (en matjes) een toen begon Covid-19 en werd het stil. Ik zal er eens achter aan gaan. Veel kampeer plezier! Groet, Gijs

Hello Outdoorguru and thank you for this review that helped me decide to go to the netherlands in Kerkrade to see IRL this nice tent. But I'd like to ask you: have you been testing the tent in the moderate or heavy rain ? Because I have already seen tents made from excellent fabric but leaking because of poor design :( Will you please give me some clarification on this matter ? Thank you ! Greetings from Belgium !

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Bassline, Heavy rain, no worries from my experience 🙏 ! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Comprehensive review. I have a 9 cp and love it. Can you leave the floor in this small tipi like you can with the bigger ones, so you don't have to set it up each time?

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Yes Barry that is possible, but don't do it when the tent is wet and dirty ;-).

[@BarryAllanScottart]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews good point! I've been lucky so far, I carry an extra ground sheet meant for a bell tent, I can set up on top of it if the ground is too mucky... may as well take it in the car, since I take everything else....except the cat! ;)

[@downstream5887]

Hello. Absolutely love the details and quality of your videos. I'm trying to decide between the 2cp and 2 light. I backcountry elk hunt in all weather conditions weight is a huge consideration but I need quality and warmth with no stove. Opinion?

[@tullochgorum6323]

One significant issue with big tipis like this is bug protection. It can be arranged, but it's not a geometry that works well with netting - and in many places that is a bit of a showstopper.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Tullochgorum, I don't see the problem. Most tipis have a inner tent available. But.... I don't mind a few bugs in the tent, just pets ;-). Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@pjy2010]

Hi, and thank you for an excellent review. Do you have any guidance for deciding between the CP tent fabric vs. the light tent fabric? Does the benefit of less weight in the light material compensate for condensation, particularly in damp conditions that will freeze overnight? Any tips are most welcome. Continued success and cheers :)

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Paul, Thank you for the kind words. How do you plan to use the tent? CP is breathable... the others are not. That is the big difference. In cold conditions: CP. Unless when you can't carry the weight. Does this help? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@paulyates2818]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews I agree with you. And I have never seen a side by side comparison of the two tipi tents, particularly with condensation. With extended fall and spring - not cold enough for winter - where it rains during the day and freezes over night, condensation is probably the biggest headache. I wondered if you found the difference in condensation negligible or manageable between the tent fabrics? I trust your experiences and reviews. And I can't afford two tents ha ha.

In tip for lightweight pegs is to use a spare peg on top of the one you want to get i the groud so the form a T that i much easyer for you hands and ylu dont bend the as easily.

And use that peg together with the little rope to pull it out if is stuck ;-). Thanks for sharing mate! Gijs

[@richardcorfield9926]

Does the floor come with it, or is it extra? I remember with the lightweight the inner was extra.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Richard, It's hardly an extra ;-) but they want you to buy it separate. Probably because they have some option in the type of floor you can chose. I hope this helps. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Hallo. Ik kijk de hele tijd naar je video's. Ik hou ook van Tentipi. Nu wordt OLIVIN 2 CP Pro, dat hetzelfde materiaal gebruikt als saffier, verkocht in Japan. Wordt het verkocht in uw land of in andere landen? Ik hoop dat je het me wilt vertellen. Ik heb google translate gebruikt. Heb een goed buitenleven.

Hi Konosuke, Maybe write the question in English. It is very polite from you to write it in Dutch but I don't really understand it. I know that Tentipi sells worldwide.... Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

is the floor included or you have to buy separately?

Hi Adnan, Yes it is. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@67amigo]

Dit is voor twee personen de betere optie qua prijs en gewicht dan de veel duurdere en zwaardere safir 5 cp, die maar weinig meerwaarde vwb ruimte bied. Tenminste dat is mijn mening. Tentipi is wel echt een eigen divisie als het gaat om innovatie en kwaliteit.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Arie, Mee eens, maar ik mis juist die echte Tentipi dingen en vergeet niet dat er in deze maat ook anderen zijn. Nigor maakt ook mooie tenten. Als je hem wilt vergelijken binnen het Tentipi segment zou het wel de Onyx 5 CP moeten zijn. 8.3 kilo, ook geen slikranden en toch wel groter. 1.7 kg pp tegen 2.9... als we Tentipi moeten geloven want 5 in 5... best krap. Meer 4. Maar.... een meer dan significant prijsverschil ;-).

[@67amigo]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Eens. Ik wacht even tot de mark II met jou verbeterpunten.

Do you keep the items that companies send you at no charge, (that you do not review well?)

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Gary, No, of course not. That is also what I write I the description that comes with the video and in most videos I also say this. I do keep them for a while after publishing for reference in case a manufacturer comes up with a good reason why it did not perform as it should or if somebody asks questions about it. The tipi in this tent is still at my place since I want to try it with a smaller stove and Tentipi knows this and that fine by them. The stove is back and the fireproof matt... I bought last week. Does this answer your question? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@pe1rjw]

Hallo Gijs, Ik heb toch wel een paar opmerkingen over jou review. Je hebt een medium kachel gebruikt terwijl Tentipi duidelijk aangeeft een microstove te gebruiken. Hierdoor heeft het gehele verhaal omtrent de kachel mijn inziens weinig tot geen toegevoegde waarde. Ik adviseer je een winnerwell small kachel te proberen of bijvoorbeeld een Outbacker Firebox Eco Burn, zie outbackerstoves.co.uk/collections/tent-stoves/products/outbacker®-firebox-eco-burn-portable-tent-stove. Een te grote kachel gebruiken in een te kleine tent brengt serieuze gezondheid-risico's met zich mee. CO2 of CO opbouw door een te grote verbranding in een kleine ruimte is een zeer groot risico in dit geval. Ik adviseer om dan ook altijd een CO melder in de tent te plaatsen in de buurt van de kachel. Ook is het grondzeil wel degelijk waterdicht. Ik denk dat je een koudebrug (condensvorming) veroorzaakt tussen je vuurvaste mat onder je kachel en je grondzeil. Je vuurvast mat weghalen zou mogelijk een oplossing kunnen zijn, deze zou je kunnen vervangen door een 100% wollen deken/kleed.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hoi Dennis, Dank voor je uitvoerige reactie. Die opmerking over de kachel snap ik wel, maar nogmaals... Tentipi geeft geen richtlijnen wat een microstove is. Dat vind ik in deze tijd met product verantwoordelijkheid en alle negatieve gevolgen die dat helaas heeft, een gemis. Ook vind ik het een gemis dat Tentipi zelf zo'n kachel niet heeft in de collectie. Dat zou een hoop discussie kunnen schelen. Met de andere tenten speelt dat niet. Zelfde opmerking geldt overigens voor dat open vuurtje dat je in de CP2 zou kunnen maken. De Small heb ik zeker overwogen maar was niet beschikbaar toen ik hem testte en dit heb ik gedaan in overleg met Moosecamp. Je kent ze vast. Een grote diameter doorvoer vind ik daarom ook niet slim. Die CO/2 melder is verstandig, zat ook in de opnames maar heb ik over het hoofd gezien bij het monteren. Overigens moet je dan nog wel een goede plek vinden in de tent. Grondzeil is niet waterdicht, koudebrug speelt mee als er een koudebrug is en die was er niet bij een lege tent zonder kachel die aan was. Ik merk met andere tenten geen problemen bij een koudebrug van een paar graden. Ik heb het ook gemerkt met een oude koeienhuid, een beetje vergelijkbaar met je deken. Nu was dit een van de twee eerste exemplaren en wellicht dat dit mee speelt. Ik heb na de review nog lang zitten denken aan het gebruik van een kachel in deze tent en voor normaal Nederlands gebruik met temperaturen die niet zijn zoals in Scandinavië... ik vraag het me af. Ook omdat de ruimte, het in de tent komen en je om de kachel heen manoeuvreren niet echt gemakkelijk is. Bij geen van de 1 maatje grotere tenten speelt dit. Ik hoop dat je mijn antwoorden enigszins redelijk vindt, want ik ben volgens mij - net als jij - een tipi liefhebber. Groet, Gijs

[@33antonius]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thank you Gijs for this excellent review and Dennis for pointing out the danger of CO intoxication. For safety reasons I would not with my family sleep in a tent with stove. I would also be interested in comparing the Tentipi with the Hilleberg Keron 4 for winter camping. I know you are both enthusiastic about the Tentipi products. Being a lifetime camper I have some experience with tents myself. A brand which is rather unknown but offers far better quality is Atomatent.nl. Instead of polycotton you get decent cotton and a fixed floor of far better quality. The one pole construction of the Tipi also gives you very limited room inside. I have owned a De Waard grote Bonte specht but sold it after year. I am still using my Atomatent Cameleon for 8 years now and it is still as new and will camp 4 persons. It weighs a bit more but the Tentipi would also be a tent for car campers. I can put this tent up in only 30 minutes. Regards, Jon

[@bigdon3975]

I have the same tent but its older. All what you say it correct. With the first pich a ground loop faild..the floor is shit..the bottom of the fabric is rotten in the wet weather and looks realy Quickly ugly and all the shit cost me 1500€. Never, never ever i will buy a TENTIPI!!!! I hate the absolut poor and not overthinking quality over the years.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Don, Don't hide you feelings 👍. Thanks for being honest about your experience. You can't have the same tent since it is just on the market but I know some other models with the same construction. I have a Pro floor now in a CP5 and that is better. Also with snowskirts so the fabric does not touch the ground. Also better. Where are you from? Just curious. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe!
