Tipi style wall tent?

Nice! Did you go with the 10x10 or 12x12? Do you think it's manageable for someone to setup and take down on their own?

I got the 10x10. It’s easy to set up and tear down solo. I’ve set it up and torn it down two times. I think I have the sequence figured out to make it go pretty quick. Right now it’s about 20-30 minutes tops, including cot and stove.

I ended up buying the Selkirk Spike Tent from the Wall Tent Shop in Moscow, ID. $1200 shipped with a rain fly and longer guy stakes. It has a sewn on floor, which is new to me. I might get a piece of indoor outdoor carpet to put down.

It took me some fiddling around with it to get the stakeout tight. Nice tent. Should be easy to beat with the Riley. Has a ton of head room, which was ultimately why I chose it over the Davis.

First trip I used this for only a one night set up. I stopped in real quick on my way up to my hunting grounds yesterday morning and threw up my tent so I would have a spot when I got back after dark. All told, it took me a little under 30 minutes to get the tent, set up, stove up, and all of my gear put in it.

The stove was worth its weight in gold, I went in over the top of my waders and had to dry stuff out last night. Tear down this morning was easy. From the time my alarm went off, to having breakfast and coffee ready and on the road was about an hour.




The banquet beer salute to my Homie @MTLabrador.

Did the big stove roast you out as much as you were thinking it would?

It was about 105 in there for a bit.

That little blackstone grill is awesome. I loved mine this week.
