Wall Tents Tips and Tricks

[ghosthunter]

So, just to clarify; you have one tent, poles, stakes, and all the misc. items to set up that tent in one box (×3)?  I have two wall tents, and one fairly big cook shack (16'×18') and I think if I put one entire "camp" in a box, it would be a bugger for me to pick up and put in the truck.  I have each tent, and the cook shack/poles separately stored in their own boxes, with some small misc. stuff, but nothing else is on the box.  Those boxes are big and heavy, and about all I want to throw up into the bed of the truck.  I keep all the stakes, extra line, hammer(s), stake puller, etc. in another container or two. Just curious.

 My tent poles,floors and flys are separate.

Each box has

A wood stove and in the stove is pipe,legs, and everything for first fire.
24 stakes
Two ridge lines
A ground tarp
Hammers
Puller
Poker
Two small lanterns
Stove fan
Strings
Bungees
Bag of angles.
Misc. items

Each box has handle and wheels.

I have a drop gate trailer and roll them in.

I have six boxes
One for each tent
One for dry goods food
One for pots and pans
One for cook shack parts.

Three boxes down each side, poles in middle.

Tables, chairs
And floors ,flys over load.
Water jugs, propane bottles ,cooler across back

Not me. I bring home another tent and my wife will have me living in it.

Well number one got its turn today. The first white canvas tent I ever bought 10 years ago.
 It’s a little bit of an odd ball.

10 oz Canvas, aluminum frame, rafters are two piece.

Made by Reliable Tent & Tipi . It is the tent that gets the nod if I am going for a few days in expected mild weather. It’s 50 lbs lighter than the other two made by the Tent Shop.
And allot easier on this 73 year old.

She’s still looking good. Suffered a hole last year that nobody fessed up too. But the wife and I patched with Bishs tear mender.

Some lessons to be learned here. Don’t agree with all this. But some food for thought when you want to cut corners putting your tent away.

He says it’s better. Can’t amagine what it looked like before he cleaned it.

Pretty good video. With all the holes around the stove jack. They must be burning kindling and paper without a fly over the tent.

I never use kindling or paper.

On the folding, the kid is walking on the tent that they spent days cleaning. Shoe prints are really had to get off canvas.

The moral of these videos is. It is a lot easier to work at keeping your tent clean during use than it is to clean it later.
