So after reading a ton of posts in my search for tents it seems like most people here tent camp vs using a campers is this due to cost, portablity or just because? also when you are setting a tent up in the snow what do you do dig down to the groud or just sit it up on the snow? thanks carl |

My family and I are a die hard tent family. For a few main reasons, fresh air, and mobility. Our whole hunting group had used tents for over 20 years. Then one year 3 of the crew got campers. Now its a debate to where we go to camp because they don't want to take them down the rough roads. Also I find we spend most of the time couped up in the campers instead of outside around the campfire, or around the BBQ. Dad and I still use our tents, and still set up the army tent for cooking and hanging out, because it gets real tight when you got 8 guys in a little camper :chuckle: The other thing I noticed is that the guys with the campers tend to sleep in longer and hunt less. That said, I don't mind campers at all. I just wish we spent more time outside, and could get deeper in the woods like we used to. (this is all speaking about elk country so its pretty rough for the campers.) |

Went to a camper about 4 years ago. Certainly some drawbacks, and we still have all our tents, so we use them when it is easier to get closer to where we want to hunt by using tents than to use a camper. Used my 26' toyhauler last year when Moose hunting, got it where I wanted it without any problems, will use it again this fall when we hunt the Dayton unit for my buddies rifle cow tag. Definitely nicer to have a camper if the weather is rainy and windy. But we still spend most our time around the campfire if the weather is conducive to that. |
