Lavvu / Tipi

About

Genuine Scandinavian military surplus lavvu and tipi tents, sourced direct from Polish and Swedish army stock. A lavvu is the traditional Sami-style pyramid tent used by Nordic forces for decades — proven in cold-weather field conditions and a favourite with UK bushcraft and wild camping groups for group shelters and stove-friendly base camps. We stock complete tents plus separate aluminium pole and peg sets, so you can buy a full setup or replace worn poles on kit you already own. Each listing states the grade, condition and capacity so you know exactly what you're getting before you buy — most of this stock is genuine ex-forces issue rather than reproduction. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a lavvu tent?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A lavvu is a traditional Sami-style tipi tent used by Scandinavian military forces.
