The Peepee Teepee for the Sprinkling WeeWee: Airplanes in Laundry Bag

Product Information

The removable bugnet means you can set up just a large mesh structure to see out into the open air, a pure tarp shelter to use for eating and changing, or a fully-housed sleeping shelter. If you’re looking for something to shelter a lot of people and don’t mind the extra weight, tents in the frontcountry section are a great option with many at affordable prices. Gear Guide’s teepee tents split the difference between more sturdy, full canvas basecamp tents and the lighter family style options detailed in this guide. It’s light and compact enough to carry with you awhile without sacrificing the built in floor nor the intensive weatherproofing measures. The Wenzel Outdoors Shenanigan isn’t going to wow you with its durability or stoutness in resisting the elements. But as a shelter for casual outings it’s very practical at a great price, and has the added benefit of a fun patterned finish.

One of the biggest benefits of having a teepee style tent for family or frontcountry outings is how easy they are to set up compared to other “large” tents. For single-pole style teepee tents, setup is often as easy as staking down the bottom and propping it up with a pole. I have a pretty good fabric stash, but it’s comprised of almost all girly fabrics. Thankfully, I had a few scraps of boyish fabric left from some burp rags I made for a friend a few years ago. I also grabbed a few hand-me-down flannel blankets and burp rags for the inside fabric.

Their construction is conducive to ventilation. Some models make additional improvements on this by adding easy opening flaps.Next, trace and cut out semi-circles, one exterior and one interior, for as many wigwam/teepees as you wish to make. The Vidalido Teepee Tent is a fairly typical take on the contemporary teepee design. Its spaciousness, affordability, and ability to be customized make it an excellent choice for potential festival goers and families. The central pole is definitely a factor in moving around the inside of the tent, but that’s a problem you’re likely to run into with most tents of this style. A lovely little online shop, Uncommon Goods, sells some adorable fabric cones cleverly called Pee Pee Teepees. You simply place the little cone over baby’s boy business and it catches any scattered showers that might pop up during the diaper change. They aren’t very expensive, but Itook one look and knew I could sew some myself. In keeping with the tradition of no-nonsense ultralight shelters, The MSR Front Range is another example of a “Mid” style tent that can serve as an emergency shelter or a lightweight alternative to traditional tents. The Front Range capitalizes on its already minimal design by allowing users to substitute a ski pole or trekking pole as the central support, further reducing the weight one needs to carry.
