Instinct Alaskan Guide 6-Person Tent

I have a Cabela’s Alaskan Guide Instinct 6-person and a TNF Bastion 4. The Cabela’s one is roomy and stands up to weather but I wouldn’t trust it past 60-70km winds. The TNF tent is smaller but holds up to all kinds of weather. I’m in Nunavut though, so require stronger (more expensive) equipment.

If you are over landing and just driving all day a roof top could make sense for some. In a campground rtt’s seem pointless. If I am staying for more then two days someplace I set up my Cabelas six man guide tent. If I am weekend camping REI 1/2 dome four person. Easy to set up and roomy.

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

Backpacking or car camping? I use an rei 1/2 done for backpacking or my old school north face mountain 24. Car camping I use a Cabelas Alaskan Guide six person. It's a beast. Takes the wind and rain. Great tent. But expensive. So is my mountain 24 when i bought it in 1997. Rei 1/2 dome. Make sure you seam seal it.

Yes, They are built Like tanks. They stand up to almost anything weather wise. I had the 8p and it was Difficult for a solo set up. I imagine the 6p Is very doable…

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X\_GeSOALzzs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_GeSOALzzs) This is a link to a youtube video if you want to see the best tent in the world. The Cabela Alaskan Guide. I was lucky enough to find one used almost brand new, from a woman whose husband died and was selling it. I can testify it will indeed stand up to an eighty mile an hour wind. I survived a storm in one during a northeaster on a small island with 70 to 85 mile an hour winds in the icy rain and cold. Not one drop of rain came inside. It is not small or packable, but it is one thing, a beast and the best tent I have ever owned. I have camped twice in the cold with the tent, once next to a frozen lake. I had a Buddy Heater with me. The temperature dropped to 24 F that night. I was too hot. It is the kind of tent designed for long term hunters in Alaska. Truly amazing. Edit: Just wanted to add. The tent in the video is the one I have. Mine I believe is an older model as the fly has a snow skirt on my tent that you can bury in the snow, the one in the video doesn't have that feature. Mine also has three ground sheets, the bathtub tent floor, an additional interior floor and a larger outer floor, plus a separate floorless vestibule for a woodstove and heated kitchen separate from the sleeping area.

Yep Alaska Guide Tent is the model we have. 4 person for two of us.

Same here. The Cabela’s alaskan guide tents are great, but heavy. Definitely wouldn’t want to backpack with one. I’ve got a North Face, can’t remember the name but it’s their version of the rei half dome. Bought it used in the early 2000s and it’s still going strong.

I like my Cabela Alaskan Guide...I got it with the same reasoning in mind. The thing is solid.
