I don't find the wilderness ares of the Pac NW to be that remote or inhospitable ... but that reflects MY comfort zone. I don't suspect sasquatches live in places truly inhospitable to humans though they might pass through them. Like us, they need food. If there's nothing to eat, there are better places to be. The hurdle for most people is psychological, not physiological. MIB

I would suggest going over to 24HourCamfire.com's forums, to the Backpack Hunting sub-forums, and do a little "mining". Several active members there use Seek Outside tipis, stoves, etc. I'd also suggest Kifaru's forum, Rokslide, and any others. There are two reasons I have not gone floorless. First, bugs. Second, damp ground / grass. If you're going floorless, then probably you need a nest inside the tipi, They don't necessarily have to come from the same source but it is probably easier to match sizing if they do. One thing to keep in mind ... it varies state to state, but during fire season, it may not be legal to burn wood even in a stove. I bought a jetboil to cook with in those conditions. It's taken over ... I use it in winter, too. In fact, I almost never build a campfire anymore. MIB

Your not a sucker for taking a sip of the kool-aid, your a sucker when you continue to drink the kool-aid after you know it's tainted. I know about drinking the kool-aid, I'm a Lions fan.
