Wall Tent Security
« on: January 17, 2015, 02:15:48 PM »
A wall tent purchase is in my future soon.
Seems like we hear about a stolen wall tent every year. After all they, for the most part all look alike. And are worth big money.

Wondering if anyone has come up with a means to mark or tag their tent in any way.??? For identification.

Or had some special feature added that sets their tent apart from all other???

I know a guy that had a brown canvas door put in just to set his tent apart.

Wonder if you could micro chip a tent like a pet??? Or maybe some kind of stencil design on the tent that could not be altered easily.

Any ideas?? Or something you have seen????? :dunno:

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

write your name on it with something like silicone or a clear acrylic.  Looks like the same tent, but if you splash it with water your name can be read.

How about stencil "Ghost Camp" on the side of it, would make it easy to identify if anyone else used it.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

The problem with the silicon idea is that it only helps AFTER it gets stolen. Something visible to the thieves might prevent it getting stolen in the first place.

Tat that thing up with some permanent markers. Write your initials in the middle of each panel. You can also go cave man in your free time back at camp and draw pictures of deer and elk  :chuckle:

Got a buddy who uses a sharpie to record each years kills on the inside of the tent.  It's actually a pretty cool way of keeping record of who killed what, the date, how far etc.

After 25 years, there's some pretty cool history on that tent.

Trail cams for me too.

I also will leave a fire dampened down and a rig in camp.  We will sometime leave the door open.  Anything to make it look like someone is home.  You have to have big clankers to steal a camp when you think someone is close.
