Cabela's - Alaskan Guide Model Geodesic 6-Person Tent

Might I suggest the Cabela’s Alaskan Guide Model Geodesic 4-Person Tent with full vestibule and extra storage or cooking space out front. Right now on Sale for $299. $100 savings. Another option until you find exactly what you want is to Rent a tent from REI or other places that have rentals. This would allow you to explore your options and try out different types of tents. Just so you know if you look how a tent manufacturer shows their tents it’s based on 4 people with no room for gear unless store outside or in small doorway. I’ve been selling tents for all types of campers for 35+ years. Most people don’t know that tents are basically just sleeping areas and not storage. So typically if you plan on having 4 people 5’ or taller camping you should be looking at a 5-6 person tent. 4 people sleeping and room for 4 Packs or anything else that is needed. You can understand this better by taking everyone to a Store set up a tent with sleeping pads and sleeping bags. Lay down look how much space is available around you. This will give you a better understanding of what you really need. My rule of thumb I’ve always said to customers is if you have bags, backpacks or other items. Take one person out of the tent . So a 4 person tent will fit 3 adults or youth over 5’ and all gear. Cool thing is Cabela’s Alaskan 4 Season tent does come in a 6 person tent. Which would allow you more space for backpacks and gear plus 4 people sleeping. Nice thing is you can separate the weight into 4 people so it’s more evenly weight distribution.

Cabela Alaskan Guide Geodesic 6 Person. We actually have the 8 person, but the 6 person would be easier to set up if you don't need the extra space. These are pretty bombproof, ours has weathered many a high wind and hours of heavy rain and has held up well. It's not a tent I would want to set up every day, but it sounds like you stay in place for awhile before moving on. I would also recommend getting the floor liner. It's not necessary, but it helps protect against chair feet. Read the reviews on the Cabelas site, and there are also some review videos on YouTube. Bonus: It's on sale right now.

Alaskan guide six by cabelas. I have had mine for over a decade. I have never been wet in the tent. Does not move in the wind. Queen size mattress and room for a chair or two adults two kids.

Yes I have a six person cabelas guide tent. I can fit a queen size air mattress and a chair inside. Spacious if it rains and I don’t want to hang in my screen house with waterproof panels.

several years ago I found Cabelas Alaskan Guide 4 person tent in the bargain barn. It has a full rain fly, and is listed as a full four season tent. There is a [6 ](https://www.cabelas.ca/product/135133/cabelas-instinct-alaskan-guide-6-person-tent)and [8 ](https://www.cabelas.ca/product/161522/cabelas-alaskan-guide-model-geodesic-8-person-tent)person version of the tent as well. It looks like there is a new model (costing twice as much) called the Instinct. You may find older models in some stores. I have no doubt that fully guyed out it would be rain, snow, and windproof in dang near any weather.

I like my cabelas Alaskan guide geodesic tent. I don’t remember which size it is, but it comfortably fits 4 people and can stand up to pretty high winds with the guy wires out

Have a cabelas 6 man and an REI 4 man. The REI is the best, but I needed more room on a budget and got the Canaria’s on sale for $130 8 years ago. Still running strong.

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.

We talking car camping then? The Cabela’s Guide tents are very durable.
