Hi All,

I’m using titanium (and stainless steel) shim stock for my pyramid tent chimney and was hoping to credit the person who first used this thin metal for this application.

Anyone know who pioneered this idea?

Thanks, Darren

Hey thanks for your reply Philip,

It would be cool if it was TiGoat that came up with the idea. I got my first piece of titanium from him when I was in Salt Lake City in 2012. I believe he has passed on and I don’t know his name (didn’t see it on the website archive either).

Cheers, Darren

From The Road three person winter shelter

Here is my tent. It’s for a three person rope team going for remote high mountains in Western Canada in winter.

and is the inside of the tent reflective?  That should make it a little warmer

The tent has some reflective material on the bottom and top, but the main panels are uncoated nylon. For myself moisture management is more important than insulation and this tent breathes really well (that’s what a good sleeping bag is for).

The tent has an integrated boiler for melting snow and boiling water and it can be converted to a wood burning stove quickly and easily.

This shelter is very specialized and should only be used for camping high on snow in winter conditions by three people. Anything else would be a mistake.

Thanks for your interest, Darren

Here is my tent.

Looks like a super setup. Do you mind sharing a link to who makes it?
