"On our first outing with the new 12 man tipi we went to Big Bend. We were away on a day hike, and although we left no food inside, a pack of javelinas added a new "doggie door" option to the tipi !  See photo.   Winds were horrendous for one 24 hour period. Tents blew down all around the campground, but the tipi was stable and a safe haven. In the other photo the tipi served as O.R. during wind storm.  I am sending the tipi back for repair. Please let me know what my options are. Thanks."  Bill, Fredericksburg, TX
