After the Great Fire Of 06, I've been on the lookout for a new walltent. Finally found one this weekend. Paid $200 for this Norseman. It's a 12x14 with 5 foot walls. I'm thinking it should do quite well for our many camping and hunting trips that we do every year.8)

Steveo, Its a 12x14 so you are still out of luck for stretching out in it.... since Matt lost his legs he should just fit, your toes will be sticking out the door tho... :mrgreen:

Sweet looking new camp though Steve..

A little bit of a front porch protection and it will do you for years to come. Great size.

$200 ?? What a steal. Well done.



but the frame set up looks really weird

Short poles or long poles, lots of rope or less. Thats the beuty of these things, variable methods of erection depending on what materials are around.

Steveo,
I thought I told you that was never to be seen on the internet? LMAO! :) Brings back lots of good memories. I still like Thad's rendition the best. Pickin up a snowball, Chuckin it and yelling F**CK, and then stickin my burned fingers in a snowbank. LOL! Telling the doctor she couldn't wrap up my burned trigger finger was pretty funny too. I plan on getting a canvas tarp this time instead of a plastic one.

hahahahha thads rendition was so damn funny, i will never forget watching the tent burn and then seeing you come running out of it:mrgreen: Not much anyone could do but watch.

I would also add a fire exstingisher to you camping list:twisted:

What? Are you an A-Frame Only guy? There are many ways to skin a cat. I've used a clothes line, a come-along, ratchet tiedowns, a ridgepole between 2 trees, you name it. It all gets the job done.

Looks like a good score, Steve. Maybe a big can of fire represent gel is in order though. Either that or maybe the other guys are in control of the matches, what do you think :wink:

Short poles or long poles... variable methods of erection depending on what materials are around.

So what do you suggest? Cialis? Viagra? What did the boys use at the Grizzly Loveshack?

Personally, I just think of Faith Hill, Halle Berry, Kristie Gordon etc.

That's not a patch, that's a flap. It keeps the rain out when you aren't using a stove.

That is a steal !! I have a 10 x 12 Noresman it's a great sturdy tent it will take what ever mother nature can throw at you. If you are interested in a internal frame www.campers-village.com (http://www.campers-village.com) will sell you the corner kit and a trip to the hardware store will get you the conduit for the frame.
