large tent for winter camping ?
Question:
Sorry, guess the link below might not work for you. Go to cabelas.com, and click tents. It is the Alanak II, and the big one goes for about $799. It is an awesome tent. I saw several set up, and they are roomy, and have stove jacks. This may be my next tent for extended camping, which for me can be up to one month. Steve

I’ve been seriously considering getting a 14′ yurt tent from shelter systems: http://www.shelter-systems.com/solor-dome.html The wall tents sound a bit heavier, I have to port this stuff around in my small truck camper which is allready loaded pretty good. The yurt sounds interesting, not too cheap, but the wall tents are expenisive enough I think. The only other stuff I saw was colman cabin tents, but the yurt has alot of good things about it it sounds – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Look at Cabelas.com.

Depends. Small tent, best chance of an interesting obit. Big wall tent, kerosene heater, seldom any problems. But that’s a _big_ tent, usually canvas, with the platform and the stovepipe and the whole works.

Larry – I use a 10 x 12 wall tent while hunting - good sized, weighs about 35 – 40 pounds (excluding poles and floor), sheds water and snow very well, had a stove jack installed for a wood burning stove/water heater. I had a floor made – out of a vinyl impregnated nylon (herculite) which is indestructable, water proof – and frankly, worth it’s weight in gold – particularily in winter camping. You can buy frames for wall tents – but I made my own out of electrical conduit. My ridge pole is in three pieces with a supporting cable and turnbuckle underneath – which doubles as a clothes line, or sky-hook for many things. The exterior wall poles are two piece from conduit. The poles are multi-piece to facility packing in by horse. Any wall tent can have a stove jack installed to accept the stove pipe from any stove. —– Jerry/Idaho

Look at Cabelas.com. They have one which is 13×14 and is made for a heater. They’ll even sell the heater. I don’t recall the model but you shouldn’t have any trouble finding which one. We ordered one of their tents last Spring and like it.

I like the Alaskan Dome tent from Cabela’s. It is a good all season tent, including winter. The vestibule is a good place to put a portable toilet, so you don’t have to go out into the cold. Try checking out => http://www.rubiconcargotrailer.com/accessories/System/System.htm — There is information there on portable heaters, too. — Regards — D.J. http://www.RubiconCargoTrailer.com

I am thinking of looking into a large tent for winter camping. Probably for someplace I can drive to in new england like a campground open in the winter near some nice hiking/snowshoeing areas. Would also be a good investment if I bought some land someplace and wanted to camp on it for a month etc someday. I have a small truck camper, but it’s too clastrophobic for 1-2 weeks in the cold. I’m thinking a ten maybe 15-20 feet in diamater or length. Something I could practice kung fu in and sit and play the guitar. I might get like a 3,000 or 8,000 btu propane heater which I’ve seen should work to heat such a tent and I know there are some that are safe for that. What brands are available and what would be recommended for such a tent or portable yurt/dome. Hopefully not to hard to set up as I might do an ocassional long weekend, maybe weigh between 50-70 pounds and cost like $600-$850. Thanks
