A: A Lavvu (prounounced Lar-Vu) is a Scandinavian type tipi used to this day by the nomadic Sami people, they are designed to be lower of height than traditional native american Tipis and wider at the base to cope with strong arctic winds. The original Lavvu comprise of 6 or 7 wooden poles and are wrapped in a reindeer skin, the ground is cleared of snow and reindeer furs are used as bedding with a central fire. The Lavvu style tents we sell are single telescopic pole versions for ease of transport and comprise two versions mainly Poly/Cotton being similar to a canvas and Polyester or Nylon being lighter and more waterproof. Each version has benefits in certain situations over the other and comes down to personal choice. By their nature these Lavvu are airy and as well as airflow coming underneath have th ability to adjust the top hat. Some people like to pin the snow skirt on the Tundra and Tinde models down with logs, some tuck the snow skirt in underneath. Over standard tents these Lavvu are a different type of camping experience, providnig a walk in and out design and allowing stoves or fires inside some models.Because of their single pole nature it is extremely important to always guy out all available lines for stability and structure integrity. « Previous | 1 | 2 | Next » |
