What tent do you use?

[sealhunter]

What are you guys using for tents,...

I use lightweight backpack and extreme tents mostly, and have used quite a few...

I have these two, and so far...they have been more than satisfying..

For fall hunts, I have a 12x14 Wall tent and wood stove and chain saw when I have the time and something to pack it with, and a Kifaru tipi and ultralight wood stove and collapsable bow saw when I have to go light. Or a silicone-nylon tarp and belt hatchet if I'm really not planning to stay out, but it gives me the option.

i use a north face tree frog 24 if im gonna be humpin for more than 2 days if less i just pack the rain fly as it doubles as a tarp

for quad camping i just pack a 12x16 heavy tarp

 

[Longwalker]

here's the deluxe version, the wall tent

and the kifaru "8 man" tipi and ultralight stove, about right for three or four....

as my buddy demonstrates, one can be quite comfortable in a snowstorm beside a woodstove, even a very small one!

Sealhunter, who makes that green tent? I can't make out the label. I like the frame on the outside so you can pitch it fly first.

I think we've got the biggest tent in the world. It's pretty mundane looking on the outside. Here it's set up in the wild country of our backyard.

But on the inside....

Main floor:

pharoh2 - What I find amazing is that you found a way to put shoulder straps on the pool table!

Cabelas Alaknak ll 12x12 complete with wood stove. I've had it for a couple of years now, easy for one person to set up. Most certainly not a back packers model but has room for 4 comfortably.

Small tent = having to go outside to change your mind.

I've got a tipitent outfitter. Sleeps four easily with cots and a Drolet Hunter stove. Sets up in less than 30 minutes and gives me lots of headroom as I'm 6'7" tall.

It packs down into a 30 lbs duffle, sits right on the front rack of the Kodiak.

If I drive to camp,( & I always do now ) the bigger the better. A wall tent with a heater makes life so much better after a long day.

Too funny, but I know my neighbors wouldn't blink an eye if they saw me in the back yard with my marlin. Must be a Lethbridge thing...

 

[pharaoh2]

Yup, my next door neighbors are great. Everyone else is used to it I think.

Wal-Mart "five man" (two adults squeezing their asses together )-sized tent.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Clip-Flashlight from Sierra Designs or a Silicone Guide's Tarp from MEC.

This isn't my camp, but my tent will look something like this:

ATUK Alaskan 10' x 10', 2' wall, 7.5' centre

 

[geologist]

OK so they are REALLY big tents.

500 man camp Weatherhaven tent copies by an Alaskan supplier. Built in the Russian arctic, 250 km from the nearest town.

This is how they looked in the arctic summer.

And in the arctic spring.

Is that a Kifaru Arctic stove?

 

[Duncan Idaho]

usually just a lightweight Guide's Tarp from MEC. If travelling plush, a Clip-Flashlight from Sierra Designs.
