How high should your lavvu poles be? - 09/22/14 05:56 PM
The amazing thing about leaving lavvu poles in place is that the shelter automatically adapts itself in summer and winter. In winter as the ground gets covered with snow, the surface area gets smaller of course (it's a cone...)
So then you have less space you have to heat, you can carry less canvas AND...the poles are bombproof because they go all the way down to the ground...
In summer, you have more space, (you will probably have more people there in summer), and it is nice and cool because the lavvu is so high...
So to the question - how high should my lavvu be? - think about how much snow is likely to fall and how much space you will need for a small team in winter...
Easy.
