Partner, I have owned many wall tents over the years & I am able to completely set-up including putting on my oversized rain fly by myself. Did I fail to mention that my tent was 16'x21'x5' sidewalls. Oh yeah, B.T.W. I just turned 75 years young last month (June 1947).
The mud flap should fold inward (to the inside) prior to staking, so if you put a thick floor tarp down, it will sit on top of the mud flap, creating a quasi seal, preventing water from being able to run into your tent. Instead, it will run underneath the mud flap and your floor tarp. Cheers mate! 👍🏼
If you aren't using a floor tarp having the flap go outward sheds water away. You can cover the flap with soil or sand on the outside and the weight makes a great seal. This is southern/hot climate usage I've experienced, not cold climate usage.
Have one and I find it hilarious how no one shows themselves taking it down and putting it back in that dam bag and I know now why that is.. it's it's because they CANT!! 🤣 you'll have to be hulk to do so 💀
They use press machines
Do you recommend it ?
It's not meant to be easy! Its designed for long term use and stability. I absolutely love mine and I live in it full time now
@@GratefulOverlander you live in a tent full time?.. on your own land or just wherever?
You’ll need a dewalt tote case. I ditched my bag and used tote case. Game changer… it’s sold at Home Depot
The flexing bungees are a great idea. Reinforcing that area with weights will also help in high winds to stabilize the tent. And you need windows and fresh air even in winter.
We were definitely impressed with how "overbuilt" the guy lines were.
Great video! Was in market for a hunting tent and this saved me hours and hours of researching different brand tents. My decision has been made simple thanks to your efforts. Thank you! Can handle the weight! Looks like that is about only negative
Can't wait for you to get your hands on it!
Thanks for the video. I think maybe the flaps at the bottom are meant to be tucked under instead of staked out (Particularly if you are adding floor). I may be wrong but worth looking into.
It's called a sod flap. Traditionally you flap it out and bury it in dirt or snow to seal the bottom of the tent. In this case, they provided stakes instead. 😉
That looks like the ultimate wall tent. Well made and spacious.
I'm not surprised. I have a few large White Duck canvas tarps and they are badass. I won't ever buy anything else. I'm looking at buying one of their tents to include the access for a wood stove. Great video.
What I’ve seen done which makes sense is to put a cross brace across the rafters, this stiffens up the rafters and you can hang lights and other things from them
Walmarts got one for 400 bucks I got mine as a demonstrated one and paid 120 dollars . best tent ever! Me and my woman break it out on the wk end's in the back yard and it is fabulous! Don't know what it is but she gets real real fun out there in the wild!! lol.great tent.a great buy,
the shear awe in the two kids faces won me over
I had to .25x playback to see how they assembled the tent. Nice job. Definitely a tent to keep everyone warm and have a great time hunting
Oh yeah, setup is pretty simple once you figure out how she goes!
You did your home work son..Well done, 10 stars.
Very informative even on the little things, that really helps me to decide what direction I wanna go, thanks again for taking the time, this video was well made in my opinion
Omg! Just went to their site and priced a 16x20. Take some advice and go to the wall tent shop in Moscow Idaho! Bought the same tent for almost half the price. If you only use it 4 weeks out of the year save yourself some money and spend the rest on a new rifle.
Over the top in qauity ,this is for me saving up for this have viewed it many times
Proud metal structure developer for alpha wall tent article
Man that must have taken some time and serious man power to put together.
Excellent Video...
and he is right this is a GREAT TENT
Thanks!
Very impressive. I have a couple questions. I'll read the comments first, because they may already be answered. I think you just made up my mind though. If the price is still the same 2000 does not seem bad at all for that 16 x 20.
Very nice tent would also recommend you check out Montana canvas cabins they used to be made in Oregon have had mine for 30 years great tent !
Looks good. Fire retardant canvas is how I would go. Bottom mud flaps are nice. Looks like you could put rocks on it and maybe shovel sand onto it to keep wind and rain out. Alot of floor options also.
Great review ! You covered a lot of details an experienced tent buyer would care about !! - thx for including the weight and price. Would love it if you reviewed some smaller white duck models too
instablaster...
ive been trying to talk myself in to getting one of these and you have sold me. Great review man!!!
Well we're glad we could help! I don't think you'll regret it!
Is this too big. Or do you think I can get it on my sidewalk in Los Angeles?
Hi garth remember me Tom Nelson here watched this nice video looking into getting something like this keep the videos coming
Absolutely great review!
Glad you liked it!
How much is that tent and can I get a small one that has a sewn-in floor course where I go camping there's a lot of snakes copperheads and rattlesnakes don't want to wake up with one
Ok, I’m sold. 2k is a pretty good price!
We were definitely impressed with the price tag as well! And it certainly doesn't compromise quality.
Excellent review! I'm sold!
🔥
Great Video Demo Garth, Good Job. That Tent is Ah-mazing !!!
That seems like a fair price for something so well crafted
We think so too. ;)
From camping in the heavy snow never buy a tent wider than 14'.
Now this looks like a fun tent!
High quality Review. Could not be better. God bless
Great presentation beautiful tent I would need something smaller
Yeah this particular model is definitely large, but for a bigger group it was ideal!
White duck makes smaller models which also have a floor which is great. The smaller models seem to have all these great features but not sure about the bungee flex on the guy lines
I would love to see them build a tent with a real type door and not just a huge zipper door that you have to unzip every time to get in.
@Ivan Poohbear Love the door but I already have a 16X24 canvas wall tent. You think they'd just sell the door panel?
Just build a wood platform and place the tent on top of that off the ground and away from moist and snow and make a comfortable mini home complete with a bed, a living room space and a cooking area.
thats what im gonna do when i get land but im gonna build a hempcrete wall help block the wind and have better insulation cause i live on the prairies and it can get really cold and windy
I wish I could win one w/ all the bells and whistles in a raffle or some contest. That would be such a great win!
Excellent presentation... thank you...
This is fabulous 👌! I have to have one!
Great video, very well done thanks
Think I'll buy me one of those.........Goggles price well I'll just enjoy th8s video
Great price
Thank you for the video. 🎥🎬
I dont like how low the side walls are and you dont get any large windows to look out while standing plus the price is quiet high compared to a new us military surplus wall tent .Im guessing they are not trying to compete with the military tents .
Very well built tent. ❤
thanks...very helpful
Did I miss him saying the measurements of this tent? Very curious.
I wonder, if strategically tucked out of the elements, if this could be set up and left up year around as a sort of camp to come and go from on private property? Possibly add a weatherization spray to the outside? The area I am thinking of gets minimal snow or rain with mild winters and hot summers (high desert type area).
My cousin lived out of one in Alaska for four months and was happy with it. The sun will likely be your biggest enemy against the canvas but I would guess you can get a few years out of it.
For the cost of this tent and all the "options" I could buy a nice pull behind camper.
This guy reminds me of John Stockton. Nice job on the review.
Thanks for watching!
Snakes ticks rodents won’t buy a tent without sealed floor. I do not like dirt being tracked all over inside either. I keep a neat tent.😎
Hi just wanted to say I loved the video lots on insight and a Wealth of information been considering buying a wall tent myself is there any other wall tent brands you would recommend checking out I look at Cabela's but there tents don't seem to be as well thought out as white duck
Hi from South Australia Is it bear proof ? Not that we need it here. but ive seen soooooo many bears tear into tents like its a lolly wrapper. Nice video
What I’m wondering is,. Can you have it on a floor,.So it’s off the ground????,..
Why not have the stove in center of tent, chimney going off one side of peak.
Hey brother would you mind mentioning the stove you use? Thank you!
I really like this tent .I just hope it comes with instructions on how to put it all together. Where can I buy one? Also where do you buy a wood stove?
I don't remember if it came with instructions, but it was pretty easy to put together. The wood stove is from camp chef, and we love it!
Excellent review
THE CENSOING OF MY COMLIMENTS BELOW WAS UNCALLED FOR ! WHY CENSOR SUCH NICE COMPLIMENTS ? ?
I'm not sure what censoring you're talking about, if anything did happen it was definitely on CZcams's side and not ours. Your previous comment still shows up!
All caps might be a clue….considered rude.
Nice tent .
Can you tell me about the tent trailer set up as seen at the 6:39 mark?
I believe that was a jumping jack, its a pop up tent that folds down into a trailer, they're really nice!
For the price it better be the last one you have to buy. These are only worth it if your like a serious outdoor person that spends weeks at a time in the woods. This ain't for your 3 day family camping trip. For that Walmart sells a $400 Ozark wall tent that will handle any camping trip but probably not an extreme mountain climbing adventure.
It's a giant tent alright.....a "white elephant" for any serious camper. Too expensive, too big, too heavy, the frame is massive to try to transport. There is no floor, so it's susceptible to marauding rodents and since the sod cloth/mud flap can't be tucked inside...there is no way to have a sealed floor by adding a ground cloth. The tent is too high, when cold weather hits, most of the heat from a wood stove will rise and radiant through the ceiling. It would take an enormous amount of wood to heat; if two stoves are needed as mentioned...forget it. If a group is that large, then much more practical to have two smaller wall tents with two smaller stoves. Then one has the choice of just using one tent, if a smaller group dictates. I've used a 10'x12' floored wall tent with an attached 10'x10' cook "shack" for twenty years. I'd take my tent system over this any day. Happy camping!
We provide a floor with the tent, it's up to you if you want to use it! We have sizes from 8'x10' up to 16'x24', but all of them are engineered to survive.
is there a vent in the roof at all?
Could do with some znti mould spray on it. Brilliant tent though.
It already has a mold and mildew resistant treatment applied! That's standard with all our tents, no extra cost.
For living in would u recommend this or their bigger avalon bell tent for 2x space per dollar than the alpha
Wonder how it does in a thunderstorm?
Can't say we've tested it in a thunderstorm yet, but we have had it in decent winds on an exposed beach and it was never a concern. It's a heavily built, and very comfortable tent!
Is it easy to clean the walls off and make it look like new?
Not sure, we've never tried to clean it, but it's white canvas... Once you get it muddy I doubt you could get it to look like new again.
Is the discoloration on the walls and ceiling dirt or mildew?
In which state in our country the United States of America are these tents actually produced I couldn't find that on the website and where do they file their taxes and what country that is
Great Video 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thanks 💯
How is this different than any other wall tent made in 2020? Seems pretty standard.
Tricky question, I'm sure you could fine some quality competitors but we were very happy with this tent, especially for the price.
A few features we really liked were the three option windows, high strength bungee guy lines (with a limiter strap), heavy gauge frame, and a pretty easy setup considering how big and stout this thing is.
@@huntinfool_official This is just another wall tent. Less impressive than the rest in my opinion.
@@WildernessMedic I bet Davis tents would be better and a little less money
What about mice? Can they chew it up easy?
at what point does it stop being a tent and start being a building
How did you not talk about the sod cloth around the edges?
Thought we did, either way it's a nice touch!
What kind of canvas are these tents made with ?
I believe they were 100% cotton, but double check on their website
@@huntinfool_official-Okay, thanks.
@@huntinfool_official That's right! 100% 10.10 oz army duck cotton canvas. Only the best.
How much and where can I get it ?
Just add insulation
Can you get taller ones?
I’m really considering a wall tent, how do the hold up over time?
We've had good luck so far, but ours definitely isn't white anymore!
@@huntinfool_official all things considers ,I’d be okay with that
do they make a water sealed floor for this model.
I don't believe so no, but the floor folds up around the edges.
I think there are smaller models that have a nice sealed floor as well as the outer flaps that wick water and snow away from the tent
How much snow can be on top of a canvas tent like these cabin tents before there's risk of tearing?
Thanks.
I hate how everyone plays up “military grade”. You do understand military contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder who meet the minimum spec standard?
A " DUDE" tent !
Why not build a house, then leave it in the woods ? ,,wait, wait,,,, this demo is in the CITY !!!🤪🤪🤪😁😅
Did they Double in Price? Who's here in 2023?
Does anyone else in the world besides YKK make zippers?
Hahah yes there are a lot of different zipper manufacturers, however ykk has definitely created a good reputation
How much was the tent
He said 2 thousand dollars
But I don’t understand cuz some on white duck, they have just a smaller ones for like 400, I mean I understand the Quality might not be as good as a $2000 one but I’ll take the $400 one 🤣
@@AngelPerez-jm3yg 400.00 sounds like the Ozark Trail from Wal Mart. 5 out of 5 positive reviews that I've seen. It's made of rip stop nylon, like a G.I. poncho. What you get for 2000.00 is durability over the long haul. Canvas, unlike nylon, is more U.V. resistant and better for a long term set up. Also more resistant to tearing and creasing. Better for moving a lot. LOL, one gets what one is willing or able to pay for. The cheaper tent would best be augmented by an overtarp, or 2 for U.V. protection if you want to set up for more than 3 days. Have a Goodn.
Except there's no floor
You get a floor with the tent but it's free-floating, it's up to you to place it or not have it! It covers the entire floor space of the tent.
Always remember. "Military grade" = "Made by the lowest bidder." Haha
Where do I order frm
Or ph number??
I wont need 4 tent house. Sri lanka.
Nothing special about that tent and there are much better. FYI, the entrance is certainly not the best since you need to push aside the flaps. good tents have a better entrance allowing you to get inside easily and it makes a huge difference when you need to bring gear inside. Also, the windows... triangular?? That's obviously to save money. Same thing with the very cheap screen. Good tents will use a no-see-hum mesh. So please, stop saying "they spare no expense" because there's nothing so special with that "mess tent". In fact, it lacks many features the others have. Like side pockets, etc... The only cool thing about that tent is the foot of the lower tubes and that's it.
Where you paid for this as an advertisement?
$4,000 tent,
