Alaskan Guide Model Geodesic 6-Person Tent

Cabelas Alaskan Guide Six Person. Been in some serious rain and wind storms. I got the Aluminum Pole model.

Cabelas Alaskan Guide Six Person. You won’t get wet. Get the version with aluminum poles. I have had mine for 15 years. Has yet to fail me.

I have a six person Cabelas Alaskan Guide. Great tent for the elements and plenty of room. Two cots a chair and a folding table. When the kids were young queen size air mattress and two sleeping pads for kids. Plenty of room even with the dog. It’s overkill for campground Camping but you won’t get wet. As I get older bigger doors to get in and out. I have had the tent 2012

Our Cabela’s tent has been great in the wind but I don’t think they make it anymore. Is geodesic and has six poles instead of four which definitely helps with structural integrity and has a lot of ties for guy lines.

I have a 4 season Cabelas dome tent. I had a stove pipe access added afterwards. It holds snow well and when the snow slides down to the ground it presses inward. This is the real test of 3 season to 4 season. 3 season tents will bulge and flex. Poles break or release causing problems. I had 2 feet of snow fall over night a few years ago. I didn’t have any issues. All I had to do was go shovel a bit of snow off the sides. My EZcube tent would have collapsed at 6 inches of snow. It is my favorite 3 season tent. I’m 6-5. So I can stand up and get dressed easily. But for rain or snow. It’s useless.

Mine finally gave up after a decade, or I would do the same. We car camp, so weight isn’t a worry and the Cabela’s Outfitter geodesic tents have been rock solid. We had to get a bigger one as our family grew, but the little one works great for the teenagers now and I love being able to actually stand up in the big one.

I don’t really need the duty cycle of the Outfitter tents either, but after a week or so hunting in the rain of the coastal Cascades it’s really, really, nice to come home to a 100% dry tent. It also absolutely ensures that my Wife will never get the opportunity to bitch about a leaky tent. In some situations, overkill is worth the price :)

I have this tent and it’s a beast. It’s by far the most sturdy tent I’ve ever had.

Alaska Guide series from Cabela’s. That thing was a rock!

We’ve use a Cabella’s Guide Series dome tent for 16 years. Been through 5-6” of rain and 70+ mph winds. No water intrusion ever. Big, expensive, heavy. Worth every penny.
