Springbar - Springbar Canvas Tents

Springbar, Blackstone camping family as well. Both have made things much more comfortable and easier. It's nice to be able to whip up a quick meal on a Blackstone when it's 104 degrees out instead of making a fire.

Springabar tents are worth the money imo. I have a springbar cj 140 and it's changed the game for my family. They are heavy but very comfortable. Pair it with a vevor diesel heater and it extends your camping season to all year. I used to buy big Walmart tents every year due to zippers or poles breaking with how often we camp each year. I forsee my springbar tent lasting generations.

Are you planning to have a heat source in your tent? We use a canvas tent that is great year round, 2 big outdoorsman cots (love) + Teton mattress pads and use a propane heater to keep it comfortable on cooler nights. https://preview.redd.it/7rvf6tn4oqte1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e79e5017325ed43f5e0432928d6fba2ccb6e3261

Nice! They are great, we have the little buddy, but ended up getting the big buddy for those extra cold nights. That is also our doggo in front who enjoys warming up by it. We crack a couple windows and keep a carbon monoxide detector just in case. Canvas tents have decent ventilation and we have not had the detector go off once since using it. The tent is a Springbar Skyliner.

Obligatory mention of Springbar. Their 8x6 tent was my Burning Man tent for many years. It has a door on both sides, not sure what you're looking for as to vestibules. For 2-3 people you'll probably be looking at their "Outfitter," which is 7x9, but only has a door on one side.

A canvas tent from Springbar or Kodiak are really easy to set up. Springbar is more expensive but Kodiak is just as good. I have a Springbar tent and it takes me 5-10 minutes to set up and most of that time is spent staking down the tent.

Get a Kodiak or springbar canvas tent. Weatherproof and will last decades.

There are a lot of options out there, especially when it comes to tent materials. I’ve been shopping around myself recently. I’ve got a couple solid backpacking tents and an older starter tent I picked up years ago from Walmart for under $100. It served me well for festivals and casual trips, but I’ve moved away from that kind of use. These days I mostly do car camping, so I wanted something sturdier and more spacious. Just this week, I pulled the trigger on a Springbar canvas tent. I haven’t received it yet, but I’m excited. Kodiak Canvas is another strong option, but Springbar is kind of the original in the space. I went with them mostly because I liked the layout of their door design. If you haven’t looked into canvas tents, I’d suggest considering them. The big downside is the weight. They’re heavy. But they’re extremely water-resistant, breathable, and better insulated in colder weather. I grew up using canvas tents, and I’ve missed having one for years. There’s a wide range of choices out there, but the material you go with makes a huge difference, not just in terms of standing room or layout. Canvas tents are definitely on the higher end of the budget, but it’s one of those buy-it-once, use-it-for-life pieces of gear.

Are you driving to a camping spot or hiking? If the former, the Springbar or Kodiak canvas tents are BIFL. They’re not inexpensive or lightweight though.

Yes, I have a Springbar Vagabond and it's a lifetime tent. However it's heavy and would only be good for car camping. Get the Springbar, get an air matress, a good rotomolded cooler, some good chairs, and a tote with all the camping stuff to keep inside. You can get all that stuff for around $1500-1700.

Looks great but I think I'll be picking up a 10x14 Springbar. Definitely some real trade off with weight though. But also much more durable and dependable. Edit: didn't realize the inflatables are also heavy. I guess the only trade off is ease of setup. Although, the springbar doesn't seem to be all that hard or slow to setup.

Well, the guy got it off aliexpress. I'm thinking the better brands would be better. I've seen very well made inflatable tents for "overlanding" as well as inflatable truck canopy. In anycase, I just picked up a springbar 140 yesterday so i'm good.

I’ll add this, we used a 10x10 Coleman for years while car camping with two kids and felt it was plenty roomy. The same size Springbar feels much larger in comparison due to the straighter walls & high ceiling. You mention Burning Man and wind being a concern. I set this tent up in the yard for ten days to season. Completely dry through two rain storms, including one with 50mph gusts. I’m starting to believe the hype surrounding these tents.
