that seems like a screaming deal! the only wall tent I have had direct experince with was a old buddy of mine a few years ago. the last day we hunted elk the snow started flying, he packed the tent away wet, left it covered but still outside for a week or so, then brought it into his garage for a week or 2, then finally unpacked it to let it dry. it was already toast by that time, covered in mold and mildew. luckily it was an 2nd hand tent that he wasnt into that much cause it was garbage.

But if you take care of it and treat it right, itll probably outlast you  :tup:

Have a 10x14 4' walls. Made of marine canvas. It's 35yrs young. Looks really good for its age  almost like new.  Love a tent going to go out and give my tent a hug

   tee,  I was thinking the same thing.    to make a 4' tent into a 5' tent is to sew one foot of sod cloth on the bottom, works great.   mike w

Wall tents are great for warmth, comfort and drying out gear on a cold wet elk season! I loved my tent but sold it after it got mildew after only  the third season. It had the mildew/fire resistant also.  Try to hang your tent up in the offseason, I dried mine and stored it in my garage during the off season folded up and it still molded up on me.  Wall tents are great, just keep them dry in storage! Congrats !  Not trying to be a downer, just want to give u a heads up.
:yeah: truer words were never spoken, i had the same thing happen with my walltent, it made me sick to my stomach, if you think its dry, hang it for a few extra days to make extra extra sure :chuckle: and if possible store it in your house, mine has a permanent spot in my walk in closet now, good luck, you will surely love it if you have never had one before, i have mine so outfitted now that i can take a shower inside my walltent, i have a pantry, the yukon wood stove package a drying ststem bunk beds and a flat screen t.v and an xbox oh and a 2000 watt honda generator  :tup:  :chuckle:
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

Friend bought a Davis on Saturday. They were giving us a bunch of crap about the Seahawks.
He called them after the game, they said they were ready for Hockey season.
Sent him another new hat with tent
