:yeah:

I bet when all is said and done you would be into it for around 3 grand. Think I will stick to my hunting partner surplus army tent.

Post by: BKMFR on January 12, 2014, 09:03:11 PM: They are great tents, I have one I bought new 5-6 years ago, have used it all over the west and it's great. Wall tents have their place as well as these. The Artic Oven is lighter and faster to put up, but not as roomy nor does it have that "Elk Camp" feeling, but situation determines what I use... They are quality and great tents... :twocents:

I personally have an alaknak 12x12 with the vestibule (so its really 18x12) and All the goodies, and use it year round, It's light enough for warm weather, but is enough for the cold stuff, and sets up in about 30 minutes, only thing I don't like sometimes is it has a sewn in floor so dirt and crap collects, but I toss a queen sized cot bed in it, a small table and chairs, i got the Colorado cylinder stove with the stack robber oven for baking goodies and it really holds in the heat, and dont forget the Thermoelectric fan, roof protector panel, interior heat reflector panel..

2500$ gets you pretty much all of those goodies, and weighs under 300lbs with everything and packs nicely into my 20 foot sailboat, which makes basically any beach paradise. Just add a cooler full of cold ones and the mistress :tup:

Functional luxury

Post by: et1702 on February 19, 2014, 08:35:44 AM: I have a "Reliable" canvas tent. It's the Kodiak model. Love it! It's 12x15' footprint and 9'6" in center. Bought it in 2008 and has never leaked. Also, easy set up with three center poles, rather than frame. I've used it for pack in trips into the Oregon wilderness, plus it's set up every year in WA archery elk camp. BTW, the snap in floor is nice!

Have a look, you won't be disappointed.
