I see that even Cody takes his shoes off when he is in the tent. What a good boy he is.

My wife and I just bought this tent because of this video. We took it out last weekend and it was awesome. We had a severe storm in the Colorado mountains with sustained 40 mph winds and heavy driving rain. No leaks and the tent was so quiet. Excellent tent. 2 huge cots 2 tables one for sitting at one with a water container. We even brought our 2 electric bikes inside overnight to protect from the storm. Takes about 20 minutes to set up and a little longer to drop and put away clean. Very easy. I bought 8” lag bolts and use my impact driver instead of stakes and it’s super easy to put up that way. I have bad arthritis in my wrists so hammering stakes isn’t fun. I bought the stove jack kit but with other hot tents I have I prefer to just use a portable diesel heater or a buddy heater while awake.

I totally agree with having a tent of any type. Everyone needs a space. Even pets. 😊

My 2 grandkids and I spent a couple of months in Ehrenberg in a Kodiak Flex-Bow canvas tent a few years ago. It is very similar to the Springbar. We went through a couple of gnarly thunderstorms with high winds that destroyed some tents around us. That's when I realized my money was well spent because that Kodiak was bulletproof!!

I had a springbar and it was fantastic. It was like a small studio apartment with ample room to stand, for beds, and to live. I got rid of it because I camp alone and it was just too heavy for me to move and put up on my own. I am a 5’7” older woman with average arm strength. If you are strong this is the way to go.

Canvas tents are the best! My husband/ I picked up a used canvas cook tent thru a US Forest Service auction. We used this tent for 3 summers while building our house in Alaska.

I am from SLC and when I was in Boy Scouts, we used these tents for all camping aside from the backpacking trips. Amazing tents, I am definitely considering one for longer term/winter camping, and for when I get a parcel of land as a home base while I build my small off grid cabin. The wood stove addition seems like a game changer as well!

I watched a YouTube video about a guy from Colorado camping in a couple feet of snow in a canvas tent with a wood stove and he was warm. I think you interviewed the guy, he drives a Tacoma.

My new home outside of the bus!!!! Thank you..Bob....This brings so much more options for privacy while my daughter is along for the adventure🎉🎉🎉❤👍🤗🚍

[janetkoball]

Thanks Bob for these comments on a valuable tent for us. We all appreciate your honesty views. See you on your next one.

[turdfergussonabc]

Bob, get 8" lag bolts and thick fender washers to use in place of the stakes. I use a battery powered impact driver and 3/8 socket to drive the stakes in. Makes setup and tear down much easier.

My husband and I have a canvas wall tent and awning...I think 10'x12' each. It is the best tent ever...you will never get wet from rain in a good canvas tent!

EDIT: My tent doesnt have grommets either, it has loops made out of extra heavy duty canvas.😊

[kacythomas]

Back in 1971 my husband and I had a Coleman 10 x 12 tent that was very similar to this tent. Brings back good memories of camping in that tent with are 3 sons.

Thank you Bob for bringing an alternative in living life and merry Christmas 😂

We were given a vintage Springbar 8x10 tent this summer. We love it! So easy to set up and very comfortable for 2 humans plus 2 dogs. Or dog pushed through the bottom of the screen door which wasn't zipped up. He ended up tearing the bottom 8" of one side of the door. The repair was made quickly and inexpensively! I know the screens in the windows will rot out in the sun so it's recommend to try to keep them protected. Other than that, these tents will definitely last decades! We just got a truck camper and are going to keep this tent for "guests" and for extra space if we want to stay in a particular spot for more than a night or two.

It's worth noting that the parents for the Springbar technology expired a few years back so there are a few other companies that make tents that have springbars. In general, I think they are a less expensive option but I can't speak to their quality, design, or customer service.

[invisiblegypsy]

Thank you for this information. I did not know there were still good tents available that I, as an older female can manage.

[anniewisecarver]

Having an extra room when you are parked for awhile is nice, even a smaller one 👍🏼

[laven]

Bob Merry Christmas and to your staff . Great video . I need this tent . I have sold my F 250 and brought Chrysler Town and Country.

[debbiewollard]

Hey Bob - could you show us the size these tents are when they are packed in their bag? Curious what kind of room we need in our vehicle to carry this (or another of the tents you’ve reviewed)? Thank you
