Smaller Canvas Hot Tent from Pomoly - not in US Warehouse stock?

 Update: Mr. Rockie of Shenzhen emailed a reply that the tent is being sent out of Hong Kong on 10/14. So it should fly here by airplane....

So says if it is in their US warehouse stock then ships out in 1 to 2 days. So it must be shipping out of China. Their factory seemed to move from this address:

Address 3001, block a, building 3, Aihua creative Valley, Xingfu village, dangwan Town, Xiaoshan District, H Hangzhou, Zhejiang

To this current address:

Our factory is located in Fujian Province, China. And our marketing office is located in Shenzhen city Guangdong Province, China.

And their brand name is after the Pomo Indians of California...

 The early Pomo preferred conical teepee tents as these tents were portable for their nomadic lifestyle. Besides, the Pomo had a strong mythology of creation.

The indigenous religion of the Pomo people, Native Americans from Northwestern California, centered on belief in the powerful entities of the 'Kunula', a Coyote, and 'Guksu', a spirit healer from the south. Coyote ('Kunula') and Cougar set up for their sons to play a sports game. Most of Coyote's children died. The last two of Coyote's sons chased a ball into a sweathouse and were killed by the resident the Sun (a spirit being). Later through trickery and persistence Coyote retrieved the bodies of his two sons in a bag. Because he had trouble seeing in the darkness Coyote split open the bag and his son's two bodies created light and became the physical sun and the moon in the heavens.

We hope POMOLY, our brand name, can express our expectations and determination to focus on making the classical teepee tent. 

So I assume there are no Pomo Indians left alive?

Today, the Pomos live on more than twenty different rancherias, which are like tribal villages or small reservations under partial control of a tribe. Just as in the old days, each rancheria has its own government independent from the others. Not all Pomo people live on the rancherias, however.

So no fluent speakers left...

 The Pomos lived in reed houses. These houses were made from a cone-shaped frame of wooden poles, sometimes placed over a basement-like hole dug into the ground.

That's precisely how I was gonna build my FIRST shelter - but when I dug the whole it flooded with water. My land is a swamp mini-forest. haha.


 so...


it should be big enough - and not too big - since the stove is small. At least I made the stove - that saved me $250 or whatever....

I was gonna try make the tent also but... I have none of the tools needed.

Well it's Saturday in China and they just finished the Moon Cake Festival holiday - for a week... so might be awhile before I get the tent...

So this Polish military tent is a similar size and style.
