Absaroka 4P Tent
The Absaroka 4P is a lightweight, spacious, 4 person tent designed for backcountry adventure. Built with dual doors, a removeable stove jack, and a tall pitch height to optimize wind sheer and snow shedding, the Absaroka is built for 4 season use and features sewn-in line-loc adjusters on all guy-out points for quick and easy pitching. Designed to be a spacious 4 person tent for riding out storms or 2 person mansion with a stove, the Absaroka strikes a balance between space, weight and size ideal for mountain hunting.
The Absaroka is built to be pitched with an optional single center pole (sold separately) or two trekking poles connected together, and is constructed with our nano-ripstop polyester fabric that won't sag when wet, maintaining the usable space inside the tent. The Absaroka is sewn with a silicone coated thread and double lap-felled seams, making it highly water resistant out of the box.
The Absaroka 4P also comes with our ARC Removable Stove Jack System, designed to be run in lightweight mode or stove mode when you want a hot tent. With our zippered stove jack design, the removable stove jack allows you to keep tent weight and bulk to a minimum during warmer months if you aren't using a stove, while allowing stove use during the colder months, all with a single tent.
The Absaroka 4P is ideal for four people and normal amounts of gear, or 2 people with a stove and lots of gear. The Absaroka can be used as a floorless shelter or with the Absaroka 4P Insert with a bathtub floor/mesh insert for full double wall coverage (sold separately). A carbon fiber center pole can also be used to pitch the tent (sold separately). And if you want to make a hot tent, pair with our Skyline Ti Titanium Wood Stove.
The Absaroka 4P needs to be seam sealed to be fully waterproof. We include seam sealer with every tent, and for more information on how to seam seal your tent, check out our seam sealing instruction page, or we can seam seal your tent for you for a small fee (select Add Seam Sealing).
Please allow an additional 7-10 business days for your order to ship if you elected to have us seam seal your tent.
Features
- Lightweight-2.1 lbs. (34 oz) shelter weight
- ARC Removable Stove Jack System-Easily zip in or zip out your stove jack to run your tent in stove jack or lightweight mode to save weight and bulk.
- No-Sag Fabric-The Ripstop SilPoly fabric we use has nearly zero stretch when wet as polyester doesn't absorb water like other fabrics, maintaining interior usable space and eliminating the dreaded "tent sag" effect and keeping your tent light even in wet weather.
- Dual Doors-Easily get in and out with two full zip doors.
- Interior Gear Hanging Loops-4 sewn in fabric loops near the top of the tent make hanging wet gear or a tent light easy. Can also run paracord through these loops to make a clothesline for drying out gear.
- Night Visibility-Reflective materials sewn into the tent make finding your tent at night easier.
- Versatile Pitching-The modified rectangular shape and line-loc adjusters allow the tent to be pitched against the ground to keep out drafts, or elevated for better air flow.
- Storm Worthy Protection-Steep wall angles and reinforced guy-out points create superior high wind performance and allows for snow shedding.
- Easy Double Wall Connection-Color matching guy-out points and quick-connect, adjustable line-locs make attaching and connecting the Insert (sold separately) quick, easy and fool-proof.

I purchased this specifically for Colorado in late October. It worked perfectly for two plus the stove; very packable, and setup/takedown was both fast and intuitive. We stayed warm even when temps dropped into low teens and it held up well through a night of wind gusts above 40mph.
My hunting partner runs a traditional tent from another company and this has unanimously become our go to moving forward.
I would give two critiques for future versions: I'd like to see the spikes be a bit more stout and an improvement on the stove legs to add stability.
That being said, I had contacted Argali about ordering a longer pipe for this tent as I got the stove when I purchased the Rincon 2p a few years ago. The responsiveness was phenomenal and I cannot say enough good things about this tent and Argali.
Very pleased with the tent. Easy to set up. My son commented how light it was but we have had no issue in rain and wind even without using the additional guy out points. Plenty of room with stove too.
Great Tipi, hot tent was a gamechanger for late season elk.
Stove is definitely necessary when in cold temps. Moisture will accumulate without a stove and walls are thin. With that being said it’s a great backcountry tent weight wise. Used it in successful Montana and Idaho hunts.
Just used the 4 person tent and stove for 11 nights in Montana rifle season. Tent and stove both did unbelievably great. Being I am from Georgia, I have grit my teeth and backpack in. I was able to stay in a snow storm and temps down to 0. I cant say enough good things about this setup. Highly, Highly recommend.
