The loppet on the whole went very well. For my part in it the tent worked very well and provided heated visiting space for 45 people. Peak numbers were approx 35 at one time.
Valuable lesson learned. DO NOT BURN CARDBOARD IN THE WOOD STOVE! I burned a cookie box in the woodstove without thinking anything of it. The wax and colorings in the cardboard formed a deposit in the spark arrester partially blocking the stove pipe and reducing the heat generating capability of the stove. The warm cosy atmosphere in the tent was reduced partly due to the stove malfunction.
The entry way for the tent was also an issue as constant opening and lack of effort closing of the velcro flap released a lot of heated air which was not being replaced. Next year I will build a door way which should reduce the heat loss and be easier to use.
Over all I was happy with the way things went and with some minor adjustments I will be able to support large group outings and activities in remote or difficult locations.
