The wall tent thread.

I think the fire proofing is really only needed when the tent has a wax or oil water proofing. These tents, of course, do not have that. They have been used many many times with either my 3 dog stove or just a campfire in front of the Baker tent. We have a front that we can put on the Baker with a fiberglass stove hole just like the wall tent. Both of these tents are over 25 years old and are still in perfect shape, the trick is never ever put them away in any condition other than bone dry and clean.

I just ordered a 12x14 from Davis tents. Probably wont have it for antelope next month but December Deer on the Salmon river will be cozy.

Just received mine! Here it is set up in the backyard. Looking forward to the first of many memories in it at Elm Hall this weekend!

Oh, and I just bought a brand new (used once) set of disco cots that stack into bunks for 100 bucks! Score!!!!

In my photo the open door of my trailer is on the left. Life in the woods can be hard. When I got that trailer, I soon found that a folding bed with a thick memory foam mattress would fit in it, add some cross country wheels to push it cross country to the tent and bingo better than home. On that turkey hunt the temps reached 106 degrees one day in the Loess Hills, thankfully there was a friendly small town bar with good air conditioning a few miles away. A generator and a free standing air conditioner would have come in handy that day.

I suppose this thread will languish while all its followers fully assess this last post.

Meanwhile, don't these tents fill up with daddy longlegs and slugs?

Sorry if that image poofed the hot tub.

Around here we call slugs and spiders 'horse divers". Its a French word for snack type foods before a main course.

I didn't look or see anything. I got out of there as fast as could.

Then how did you know that she wore no curtainage?

Izzy, are they high cholesterol treats? Is deep frying them cheating? :confused:

She said so when she heard us talking. The tub was deep, thankfully. If you want to attack me, for relaying a comical but embarrassing occurrence, go ahead, but those folks were a rowdy bunch. That situation had what I hate about public campgrounds of any kind, the excessive drinking that goes on.

Killy. Haven't seen your posts for a while. Glad you're back. We need a little more of your perspective.

I think the stove was overkill during the few warm October days I spent in the GWNF, but it still looked nice!

Not only that, but they are Bear magnets & I like to stay clear of them for that too! :confused:

The bears that come to visit when we are on Canadian wilderness canoe trips are a different critter than large Minnesota campground bears. The Canadian bears say, "Oops, sorry I'll be on my way." The busy campground bears are much like the campground drunks, always looking for a fight.

BigErn-

The tent is a Montana Canvas Spike III relite material. Stove is an Ellis folding stove. I love both, but I have nothing else to compare it with in the same class. All my previous tents were much smaller domes or pup style tents.
