    Capital Canvas Wall Tents

    Looking for anyone with real life experience with these or recommendations on other brands, I saw these at the WSSBC and am thinking that it would be a nice addition for elk season.

    Beckel Canvas "Eena" TT tents. You won't want a wall tent ever again I promise you.

    These look pretty interesting.
    Care to give a few more details?

    My Grandpa was an outfitter and they had lots of these tents (they switched from canvas wall tents)... The Eena TT are super light for the airplane or a boat or a horse and they take only a few minutes to setup. Mine was passed down to me over 18 years ago and it's still in service. (it was over 10 years old when I got it), so at least 28 years of service that I know of. I did eventually buy the extra fly for it a few years ago because we'd burned so many holes through it with fires and stoves over the years. Now it's like a new tent again. I have a 14'x14' and we've been comfortable with up to 4 people.... More like 3 if you want a small kitchen inside.

    My pioneer brand 14x16 is about 40 years old. Well used and in good shape.

    Not a direct answer for the OP but worth mentioning that we bought a huge Costco portable garage and thus far have 4 happy seasons in it. Anybody up near the Redfern trailhead in late August knows the one.

    The one we have is huge because we were 10 people but they also sell smaller ones. They are waterproof (fireproof too, i think) right out of the box and can be put away wet. No issues when using the diesel heater but when we use the wood stove we do have a problem with embers melting little holes.

    I'm pretty sure it was less than $400 at Liquidation World when we picked it up but I think they are in the $600 range at Costco.
    Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?
