Default RE: Wall Tents ?


I' ve purchased several over the years, the last one 2 yrs ago. One was used a 12x14 with woodstove and take down tent frame, I payed 250.00 for all, the tent was in good shape but well used, I still have it.
The newsest one is 14x17 it cost 900.00 from Cabelas, the conduit frame poles were also from Cabelas, they were 500.00
Another one I purchased was a 12x14 with tent frame poles and both were around a 1000.00, this was 7 yrs ago. Both tents were 10oz material I believe, which is nice and heavy, they' re very tough and still going strong. They' re waterproof, but I still put a tarp over both of them incase of extreme weather. We put these tents up last week of Aug. and leave them till middle of Oct. and do this every year. So they get a lot of use. 5' walls are a must, but a floor is not. It takes around 10 min. to setup either tent. Whats nice is they' re designed to put on pack animals or just haul with your truck. The frame set is worth its weight in gold because of its ease and compactness. I' ve loaded my truck with the 12x14 tent including all food and hunting gear and hunted 350 miles away for 7 days with no problem, there was 2 of us. It would house 4 if need be. Hope this helps. elknut1
