NorTent Lavvo 4  is a very flexible 4 season tent. And is our desire to make a tent that can be used to what you want and where you want. From family excursions to demanding walks in mountains and forests where comfort, flexibility, spaciousness and reliability are important factors. 

NorTent Lavvo 4 is a relatively small Lavvo but still very spacious and very flexible 4 seasons tent. This Lavvo is tailored for solo-trips, or small groups. And as Lavvo 6, Lavvo 4 is a desire to develop a light tent that can be used for whatever you want and where you want. From light excursions to demanding hikes in mountains and forests, where comfort, flexibility, spaciousness and reliability are important factors. This tent like all our tents is made of what we think is one of the most hardwearing and robust lightweight fabric, Sil-Nylon. This super light extreme fabric is relatively expensive. But in return, you have a light tent that will withstand most of what Mother Earth has to offer. If you choose our inner tent together with Lavvo 4, you have an ultraflexible tent you can thrust.

We have removed the traditional opening in the roof, which is often found in the traditonally tipi, simply because we think you do not need this very often. When you are out on your expedition where you have been walking the distance, you need a tent whish is available pretty instant. A campfire in the tipi is unfortunately often a smoky and unpleasant affair until the fire finally gets settled. Not quite the idyllic atmosphere you wanted. Therefore, we have replaced the smoke opening with a pipe hole for a wood burning stove which we think is a better option. Here you get the warmth while avoiding all the disadvantages of a bonfire. In addition, the wood burning stove is also a natural place for heating water, cooking, etc. We at NorTent strive for that your load in your backpack is not too heavy while the tent has to be light and robust. 

Our tipi is lower than a traditional tipi. This is to achieve a perfect combination between comfort and  aerodynamics. With its 193 cm from bottom to top and 363 cm diameter we have made a tipi with a relatively small angle so that the energy in the wind is not left on the flysheet, but is led up and around the tipi. Common tipis usually have 6 to 8 edges. Thus, not a very aerodynamic cone shape where the wind easily gets the walls of the tent. Our tipi has 20 fastening points along the flysheet where we accomplishes the aerodynamic cone shape. This, combined with a Sil-Nylon flysheet, the tipi is an extremely strong and steady tent that can withstand most the weather. In most cases, side guy out points are redundant. However, for extreme situations, we have  arranged for the side guy out points to improve for the severe weather performance. We have equipped the tipi with 10 guy out points which is placed all around the tent. We have worked a lot such as this tent would be a perfect choice in any situation. Summer and winter. To ensure that the tent stands literally as a mountain, you can double the 20 plug fittings with our flexible plug-system, to almost nail it to the ground. If this should not be enough to ensure a good night sleep in extreme weather, you can also add snow/ dirt/ stones over the sod skirt. However. Do not leave your NorTent tipi unattended during snowfall. Keep snow off the tipi. Unattenended, weight from the snow will eventually damage your tipi.

With the use of the inner tent and the stove, there is room for two sleepers in addition to all the gear..

 Without the use of the inner tent, the Tipi 4 can shelter 4 sleeps  and their gear..

The fight against condensation

Being able to keep warm, dry and safe in a tent is what we all want when hiking the wood or mountains. You as a backpacker should not be worried if the tent can withstand the rain that hails against the canvas during the night.. Our outer fabric of Ripstop nylon 30D, which is silicone coated on both sides, is of course completely waterproof . It can withstand a water pressure of 3000 mm .This is the same as if you shape the flysheet as a pool, you can fill this pool with water where the pool can be as much as 3 meters deep. Try to imagine the flysheet at the bottom of this pool where there is a fairly high water pressure pushing against the flysheet. But still, the cloth stays waterproof.  So far, everything is good. But this tight cloth gives us a challenge. And it is condensation. There is a lot of moisture from the people who live in the tent, and from the ground. When this humid air hits the colder canvas, the air is not able to carry the moisture, and the moisture is then left as liquid water on the inside of the flysheet. This is condensation. Same principle as when you get into the car on a rainy day. Then there will be condensation on the inside of the windshield . On particularly rainy days, condensation is a major challenge because then the air contains specially a lot of moisture. In addition, if it blows, the flysheet flap in the wind as if it almost feels like “raining” a bit inside the tent. In these cases, many hikers think that the tent is “leaking” since there is an experience that the rain apparently comes through the outer canvas. The flysheet on quality tents is of course waterproof.

Tent fabrics

Backpacking tents are often made from (ripstop) polyester or (ripstop) nylon. Ripstop nylon is generally stronger and is much more durable than Polyester. Both materials need a coating to become waterproof. The wear resistance of the materials also depends on the type of thread thickness used. In general, thicker thread, higher wear resistance. But also, heavier fabric. The above is indicated by the denier of the material. The higher the denier, the higher the tear strength, but also heavier fabric. For example, a 10D flysheet can be very light  (also depends on the chosen fabric) and therefore very attractive for the superlight hiker. But this has a direct impact on the durability of  the fabric. Our tents has a ripstop nylon flysheet with 30D as we think this is a very good balance between wear and tear.

As mentioned above, the quality of the fabric also depends on the coating the fabric is covered with. The typical tent fabric on cheap tents is often polyester covered with a layer of polyurethaneThis is the cheapest way to achieve a waterproof flysheet. Unfortunately, a flysheet coated with PU is often prone to chemical degradation so that the PU coating simply dissolves over time and the tent becomes anything but waterproof.

Silicone-coated flysheets are something completely different. This is also used for most quality tents. Silicon coating, however, is more expensive than PU. We at Nortent are looking for both durability, safety, low weight and quality. Our choice of material is therefore ripstop nylon coated with Silicon, on both sides. Nylon fabric coated with silicon are also called Sil-Nylon. Sil-Nylon is highly water repellent, elastic and chemically stable over time. This means that the waterproof coating is not negligible over time. If you have invested in an tent made of silnylon, this is probably waterproof throughout the life of the tent. At the same time, Si-Nylon is also significantly stronger, lighter and more durable than fabric coated with PU. Sil-Nylon is also a lot more slippery than fabric coated with PU. And this is not a bad thing. The obvious benefit in this matter is that snow slides very easy off the tent. This is important since snow on the flysheet exposes the tent fabric and poles to unnecessary stress.

The disadvantage of silicone coated fabrics is that they are much more expensive than PU-coated fabric. It is also not possible to attach anything to silicon-coated fabrics. If the Sil-Nylon fabric gets a rift, it is not possible to repair this with, for example, tape. This must be sewn together. As it is not possible to glue anything to Sil-Nylon, you can not paste the seams on these tents from the factory. Because nothing is sticking. The only way to make the seams waterproof is to lubricate them by hand with custom silicone that can be bought from us or third party. However, some manufacturers solve this by having only Silicon on the outside of the flysheet while the inside is PU coated. Inside, you can paste /tape the seams so that the seams become waterproof.

On the other hand, we have chosen silicon coating on both sides of the flysheet because this makes the fabric lighter, stronger and more durable, than a PU/silicon combination. Despite that this is a more expensive solution, we believe the quality of the product is beneficial to you, where you have a tent that is both light and durable. Even though a Sil-Nylon tent is sewn in a special way to achieve the most waterproofness in the seam, you must additionally lubricate the stitches by hand with a special silicone solution for 100% waterproof seams. The end result is that you get seams that are very durable to a much greater extent than one by a typical PU-coated / PU-silicon coated tent with taped seams.

Worth mentioning is also that Sil-Nylon is somewhat elastic. This means you are able to stretch the tent a few percent . This is a good thing because you “stretch” the tent into place when the substrate is uneven and where you often gets uneven sides. Sil-Nylon also stretches a little bit when it gets wet. This means that the flysheet often gets a little slack when it gets wet, where you have to adjust the tent pegs to get the smooth /straight flysheet back. All our tents therefore have the ability to easily tighten the flysheet without having to adjust the actual tent pegs.

There is also a material that we choose not pay particular attention to here. And that’s Cuben fiber. That is an exceptionally durable material. But the cost here is up to 4 times more expensive one such as a Sil-Nylon flysheet. In addition, it comes with its disadvantage where this fabric is not worth it. This material is also found relatively rarely on tents.

CONDENSATION MGMT

However, condensation and moisture inside the tent can be solved in 3 ways:

  1. Heating the tent. Hot air can “carry” much more humid air than the cold air can. In the same way as when blowing hot air on the windshield of the car to get rid of the condensation on the windshield. Our NorTent Lavvo 4 is prepared for the use of an oven. And when using the oven, the air is heated to prevent moisture inside the tent, as well as having a very warm and dry indoor climate in the middle of winter.
  2. When not using an oven,  An inner tent is a great way to avoid moisture on the tent wall because the humid air passes through the walls of the inner tent, where the moisture is then kept out of the inner tent you are living in. The inside of the flysheet, however, becomes again wet as a result of condensation.
  3. Ventilation is perhaps the best way to avoid condensation inside the tent. Where the humid air is replaced and transported out of the tent before the air loses its water on the tent walls.

As mentioned above, you do not really prevent condensation inside the tent with an inner tent. You just keep it outside the living area.  The inside of the outer tent walls may be quite wet. This is noticeable if the inner tent comes in contact with the flysheet on a perhaps rainy day If you do not have an oven, it’s not as easy to heat up the tent. Therefore, good ventilation is perhaps the best way to avoid condensation and moisture inside the tent. If you have good ventilation, the air is constantly replaced inside the tent with new and fresh air, where the humid air is transported out of the tent before it leaves the water on the tent walls. Our tents all have solutions where you have the opportunity to get fresh air into the tent down at the edge of the tent. The air coming in will be somewhat warmer as a result of, for example, the persons staying in the tent. The hot air then rises up and out through air vents at the ceiling of our tent. If your are aware of the ventilation, you can have a very warm and dry indoor climate. But as mentioned. Air MUST come in and air MUST exit the tent. On especially very humid evenings, it is not always enough to only use the air vents. In addition, it may be smart to use the entrance to get enough air flow through the tent. 

Ventilation is also important on hot days. It can be directly dangerous to stay in the tent on a hot summer day where the dense outer fabric makes the tent close to a baking oven. With the big living space and the air ventilation in our tipi, however, you can stay in the tent on very hot days since the ventilation here will be optimal. On these days you may experience a comfortable breeze inside the tent where air entering is quickly heated, rising and disappearing from the tent through both air vents and entrances while staying inside the inner tent shielded from for example Mosquito and bugs.

The tipi has also mosquito netting in both doors to keep the bugs out if you want to ventilate with both the doors open on those hot summer nights.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.
