cabelas tents
« on: June 03, 2010, 10:55:35 AM »
Hello all.

Has anyone used the cabelas guide model dome tent or the outfitters series extreme outfitters tents?  they get great all season reviews and the price is not to bad.  sounds like it might work for family camping then make a good hunting tent for my boys and I.

thanks
carl

Me too, only I got mine at Liquidation World in Spokane. Brand new $100. I really didnt know how good a deal it was until after I bought it and got home. Mine is the 12X12. Super light and easy to set up. I think I will string a line next time and hang the peak insted of using the center pole inside. I also picked up a the Cabelas XL cot for $20 and the big meat slicer for $80. $200 out the door for about $1300 worth of stuff. All because the boxes were damaged.  :IBCOOL:

Here is my buddies extreme tent in use. It is an awesome tent, strong and keeps everything dry. Takes a while to set up and tear down, but he really likes it...

Those are some good looking tents.
I also noticed the "Beer Coolers" arent far out of reach.. :rolleyes: :chuckle:
I went with this tent based on 2 things.
Reviews and easy set up.
It dont get any better than 1 pole.
We will see. :dunno:
I will post back.
Thanks for all the input.

I've had the Cabelas Big Horn II for about 3 years now and can't be happier. I got the wood stove with it as well which makes cold winter nights a breeze! It's held up well in 30mph winds as well as snowstorms & rain showers. I do throw a tarp over it when it rains just for extra protection.

What kind of a chore is it to put up that Bighorn II?  One man gig or two plus to put it together?
