I seam sealed the inside only. That doesn't mean it wouldn't help to do the outside, but I haven't been in wet enough conditions for just the inside to cause problems
Yes it is. I am definitely a fan of cots when base camping, I find it it to be a lot more comfortable. This is the one I use www.amazon.com/MARCHWAY-Ultralight-Mountaineering-Lightweight-Backpacking/dp/B08215YSYD/ref=sr_1_15?crid=246O3II2CWP4V&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0pXLnYYQtTNrOr_8wYYpxgJNe-EJbrD7OkYKZmR6x0p0KDWo_HzVS_9HJLonxHcPDTJHwJFqUPYoup6JFGLiEYUW2M3leKRFKVlYLupaRxJ6DZNkj5YIC6NNuf6U2b-0Az3CDNwdmoJoqMUJ2ndfYGtmgFUXu5V25L15MXr51ZWQPAU1tUBLQVOhwA4_t96SeMmacwla4f3ssy1h8kr-FBC3ZkfxL-nzITKgAjoXWSc300Cp1jSdITx0bEwCr0CGKti4XLVTCvqrxfeCpoTOrHjXbp2NxR8F81axXCQKw34.ZFiFBWeGALRAxFOUJfckpgVS9cks5BiLtD_IV8mwmLo&dib_tag=se&keywords=cot&qid=1725821247&sprefix=co%2Caps%2C171&sr=8-15&th=1
I haven't been in the rain with this, but I've seen plenty of other videos where people are in the rain with this tipi and it works great. It would have to be truly torrential rains for water to get in. If the ground you're on is slightly slanted then water could get in, but in that case you'd want to dig a small moat around the tipi.
@backwoodsescape Did you need to seam seal both outside and inside?

Nice work. Looks like a great tipi. Got to save my pennies for it.

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Is that a cot on your left hand side? How does it work in a bae camp situation? You like it? Have a link? Thanks for the review.

@@backwoodsescape thanks!!
I'm curious how it preforms in the rain. Does water get in from the bottom?

@backwoodsescape I appreciate the response dude. Keep making great videos.
