Kifaru Tipis prove their mettle in the legendary winds of Tibet and Nepal. We also proudly support E3 - a high altitude laboratory that gets new insights on the human body. Click here for feedback from Kifaru Tipi owners. The Native Americans who roamed the great Plains and the valleys of the American West when it was true wilderness knew something most of us have forgotten. Their mobile homes were lightweight, heated structures which let them live in comfort as they roamed.
Modern backpackers remember the roaming but forget the comfort.
If you've ever spent a long night in a cramped backpacking tent trying to warm up a cold sleeping bag, you know what was missing. Our roomy, comfortable, portable, wood stove-heated Kifaru Tipi is the modern incarnation of the proven tipi design. It's light enough to backpack, and lets you tote a degree of comfort and convenience previously available only to those who had access to pack animals or motorized transport. The breakthrough technology of the Kifaru Tipi provides space, comfort and function not found with conventional micro tents. These are the largest and lightest four season shelters we know of, and accommodate up to 12 people, and a mountain of gear.
