New wall tent.
« on: January 25, 2014, 08:48:44 AM »
Went to the sportsman show. Ended up buying a new Davis 14 x 16 wall tent. $995.00 for tent, 6 inch stove jack, 1 window, screen door, all the angles for internal frame, stakes, bag for the angles, bag for the tent. Heard nothing but good things about Davis tents. Exited for elk season!!

Yes that does include fire and mildew resistant. Also water proofing.

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.

That's good advice for any tent. It takes time to dry them out good longer than you think.
I have a walk in upstairs in my garage and that's where the hunting room is. It is toasted warm there in winter and 70 during the summer.
If you are going to have tents you have to dis alpine your self to hang them or at least drape them so they can dry.

I have had my canvas blend tent 10 years of three week straight hunting and no mildew. You just have to make it a priority .

I almost pulled the trigger on that deal......

I think I'm going to work on making myself a custom Jumping Jack trailer instead though.

I laid down cash for tent & stove from Davis, also. I went 12 x 14, though since its just me & the dog 98% of the time. Can't wait for it to show up for turkey camp.

In 1985 I had Yesterdays Traders in Graham Washington made a tent for my brother and I.  The tent is 12x18 with five foot walls and had two stove jacks put in. Put a 6" at one end and a 8" on the other with a zipper at each end. The cost was 600 dollars and well worth it and still use this tent for hunting.  If dried before putting it away for the season it will last a hundred years. Mold is a tents worst enemy.  We wish we would have went with the 15 foot wide instead of the 12 foot wide.  I love using my tent in the late season in GMU 101 for Whitetail deer in the archery season. I have a barrel wood stove and we have a cord of wood delivered to our camp every year. We usually stay for about three weeks when we go. Sounds like a lot of wood, but if you are their when it is cooled you will use most of the wood if not  all the wood.  What a great camp, and look forward to it every year.
