Title: Bravo or Davis Canvas Tent?
Post by: davk on December 03, 2014, 08:43:10 PM: Looking into picking up a canvas tent for the hunting. I have come across Bravo and Davis tents. The Davis ones seem a bit cheaper which is always a plus, but Im also a big fan of quality. Id probably go with a 9x12 or something close in size. Enough for 2 people.

Anyone have any experience with either?

that said, you cant go wrong with either one, I know davis has a huge following and are used everywhere

If you got the extra cash you can get a better tent from Bravo for sure. Really you cant go wrong with either!

High quality and they were super helpful in designing the tent to what my needs were. They asked lots of questions and made recommendations of what would work best based on my answers. Every suggestion was spot on.

Homeboy from Bravo needed an attitude adjustment last time we talked to him about a tent.

I'm sure Bravo makes a quality tent also. My only suggestion is get something a little bigger, especially if you drive to your hunting camp. The extra room is worth the extra weight. My 12x14 is a good comfortable camp with two cots, a stove and all your gear. There is usually 3 cots and it starts to get tight. Also on the Kodiak tent, you aint packing it anywhere but from the back of the truck to where your going to set it up. It weighs almost as much as my wall tent. But it is a awesome tent. They have a built in heavy vinyl floor so I wouldn't recommend a stove in one. :twocents:
