Made of a reliable, and traditional organic 100% cotton fabric; the way they were made. Don’t settle for less: cotton fabrics are more breathable, more authentic, naturally UV-resistant, for setting up camps that are perfect for hunting and trekking. Gear that blends in nature, the way camping should be. This tent is completely open on one side. It shields you from the wind and rain but allows you to make optimal use of the heat from your campfire. Of course, alternative heat sources such as stoves can also be used. But how does it work?
The Finnish Loue Canvas Tent is a traditional finnish design, is light in weight and forms a spacious semicircle when set up. It is meant to be used with a camp fire set in front of it, heating the shelter and as the material reflects the light and heat, the circulating warmth makes the shelter even comfier. You can hang the top tip of the tent fabric from a tree, branch or walking stick. The bottom is fixed to the ground with pegs. The darts attached to the rear seams help keep the shelter taut to provide extra internal space and excellent protection against wind and rain. As a handy feature, two or three Loue can be combined to form a larger, enclosed tipi or Finnish kota-type of shelter.
For a basic setup, pitch the apex at around 150 – 180 cm using a tree or other available pole, and fasten the base to the ground. Place the Loue so that the prevailing winds blow across the opening of the loue – rather than from behind or infront – so that smoke from your fire is taken away rather than creating any eddies or blowing directly into the shelter.

I was looking for traditional and open-fire-resistant accommodation for feel-good trips, and that's what this loue seems to offer. Loue is high-quality and sturdy. The fabric reminds me of half a guerrilla tent. It does have some weight, but on kayaking trips and shorter trips, this has no significance. The accommodation can somehow accommodate two people to sleep, with plenty of room for one. A hemp rope from the same manufacturer worked well for the string, otherwise a 4 millimeter string would have been enough instead of a 6 millimeter one. Wouldn't this be useful in the winter next to the rakvalke and in the summer with the help of the ranki.

Super Loue spacious, absolutely waterproof, wind-stable and looks great, a bit more complicated to set up than a normal tarp but made for all weather conditions

The open space that extends to the front makes you feel a sense of unity in the forest even during winter camping.
