Now to buisness. I want a Davis 12x14 wall tent with all the cool stuff ( angles & stove, etc ). The problem is im not seeing how they will ship it to me, said it wasnt available to ship to my home address. So option B is to go to warehouse sports and buy a Montana tent (with the same crap) for a little more but no shipping.
Am i missing somthing, hunting season is getting close and i would love to have a Davis tent but i wont wait to find out i cant have it last min..
I know what I want 12x14 witha window in the back, zipper door with screen and the flap, 5" chimny whole (i think), frame angles and the wood stove that matches.
Ok what am i missing or need to know or whatever, please give you thoughts.

Had mine for two years now. Great tent and setup. As Right PLace stated, you can drive over and pick it up yourself. Just south of Walla Walla. Great people and great service! And get the bigger stove if it fits your budget. I upsized from the one they suggested. This way, if you ever add a cook porch, you'll have a big enough stove to heat that as well.

Ok, got the wife a brand new car, so she is all happy.Maybe has to be a business address to ship it to becuse it is so heavy the would send it truck freight :dunno: ? If so I know a local business fairly close to you that you could have it shipped to. ;)

I bought the same tent from Davis that your getting about 10 years ago. They shipped to my front door. :dunno:
That's exactly the way I've heard it has always worked as well. That's why I'm a litte confused. (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv105%2FRooselk%2FGraemlins%2FSmilies%2FG-huh3-b.gif&hash=058f4991e14638f02d77ea69a66e29eca52bc5d1)

Yes Davis will and does ship to home address, great tents and better prices.
Better prices than who? :dunno:

Than all the other manufactures for a tent with comparable specs and quality, atleast thats what I found when we bought our new tent last year. Check around.

Cool. I'm not sure who "all the other manufacturers" that you checked with when you bought your tent last year though. I know there are several people who have purchased from Yakima tent, many of them who now have 10, 15, and 20 year old tents that are going strong and their prices are a couple hundred dollars less, you can pick up in Yakima for less than shipping from Davis and if any repairs are needed or modifications (like adding windows, awning, cook shack, etc.) you can take it back to Yakima. Not trying to argue at all but it might make sense to take a look at Yakima especially if you happen to be in the area.Yes Davis will and does ship to home address, great tents and better prices.

I ordered my first wall tent today I did so much research, checked about everything i could, asked a ton of questions. I got it from the Wall Tent Co.. got everything i wanted, top, frame kit, stove, screens, windows etc for about what i could afford.
I'm very excited, 1st year in a wall tent and my hunting partner has a big bull tag. Going to break it in right this year, got 12 days off work for elk season, other than 2 days for teaching a fire academy.
I can Bear hunt while its still Branch season till it becomes spike season. Oh hell yea, going to be a good year.
Got a new cot and a camp chef big 2 burner stove 60,000btu.
only took about 7 years to get some of the big stuff i have always wanted

Ask Rick if your tent has the GOOD zipper in it.
Not sure what the "good zipper" is, but they come with a Heavy duty YKK #10 zipper.

Actually my hunting partner and I went with Davis Tent after looking at all the tent manufactures at the sportsman shows in Portland and Seattle last year and comparing prices and reviews online. With the options and tent size and frame angles we found that Davis was better priced. We paid right around a $100 for shipping from Davis, and I don't think I could drive to Yakima from Vancouver and back for much less than that.Cool.

Yeah he's not to far down the road from me. I'll admit he makes a great tent, but not in my price range :'(-Hey jason, why didnt you go with Bravo? I thought they were from camus?

does most of you guys use spark arrestor in the stove pipe? i used it for a couple burns and it seems about pluged up. in my opinion it appears to almost be more of a hazzard than having it, i think i wont be using a top for my stove and i think i figured out why the smoke wanted to come out of the stove instead out the pipe.
