Alaskan guide 8 person tent. Never get wet and wind does not move it.
r/camping • Recommendations for a tent for two cots ->Cabelas six or 8 Alaskan Guide Tent. I have owned this tent for 15 years. Did lots of family camping and kept us dry. Backpacking I just use the rei 1/2 dome. Seam seal it. However my hard core backpacking day are behind me.
r/camping • Tent recommendation ->Have had a mec 3p dome tent for a few years. Fits my wife and two dogs snug as a bug in a rug. The tent has been through hell and back, back country, front country, car camping, moto camping, you name it. it's our home away from home. We got a bigger tent this past July long weekend. It's a 8p Cabela's special. I left a day ahead of my wife this time, and let me tell you setting that thing up alone took me over an hour. My little tent takes about 6 or 7 minutes. Some of that was due to infamiliarity. Some of it because I stopped for a beer before I wrestled the fly on. But some of it was also just cause the tent is so damn big I'm tossing the fly over the tent and praying I'll be able to reach it on the other side. Or walking all the way around the tent because, yes that pole did come loose again. Wife enjoyed the extra room though. A bigger tent is nice, but if it's just for a night or two we stick to the little one and have an easier time setting up and tearing down. Camping for a week or something? The big one. Truly though, we don't spend much time in the tent. We have a screen tent for when it rains (when car camping) .
r/camping • Is it worth it as a couple to buy a "bigger" tent for car camping? ->The Cabelas Alaska Guide tents are pretty bombproof for a nylon tent. We have an older version that was one step down from the Alaska Guide series. The main difference between ours is that it has fiberglass poles and is a tan color instead of green. The one linked is basically the same. Full rain fly, and the dome is nice and tall. Fits our family of 5 and a dog perfectly. It is too big for tent sites with elevated pads, but most tents over 10x10 or 12x12 are. The vestibule is big enough for a medium tote and shoes.
r/camping • Looking for a new large tent for our family of 5 (plus dog) ->We talking car camping then? The Cabela’s Guide tents are very durable.
r/CampingGear • Best 4p Tent for regular camping? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
