Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting What in your opinion is the best brand of wall tent

I have been looking at Montana and Davis tents. What are you thought,experience, Ect.

I've got a Davis, and it's a nice tent. No complaints. It got some small tears from bad wind up near the peak ends. I took it to Montana Canvas in Belgrade for repairs, as they are not far from here.

I couldn't help but look at the display tent that MT Canvas had set up in their shop/store. It seemed to be better made in my quick look. just heavier duty sewing, some design differences in the peak ends, difference in the internal frame angles, stove jack, and a few other details like rope sewn into the eaves to make it stronger along the grommet line.

I'd have to say in my opinion, the MT is the better tent. But you will pay more for it.

I have a Davis. It's pretty basic, but then it was priced that way originally too.

The one we use mostly is a Salem Tent & Awning. They make very nice wall tents. Shipping might be a bitch though.

[bleep]! Just noticed the OP was Fred. Fred, you should talk to the folks at Salem Tent & Awning.

One of the guys at work was looking for one, and he decided to buy a surplus military Temper tent instead. $3300 for a like new 20x24.

We erected some of these type tents in Iraq, and eight years later soldiers were still using them.

Pretty stout construction and one guy can elect the tent and frame.

There are very few places we hunt where we'd have room for a 20x24. That's the size of a 2 car garage.

Beckel Canvas

Webbing is even better.....

Love my Davis....

Great folks too...

Kwik Kamp also makes a very good tent.

Thanks guys for the input keep it coming I'm going to have to get something going right after the first ofthe year. Sold my camp trailer and going the tent route for a while. Thenks!!!!!!!! Lol.

Will do.

You're one tough SOB backpacking a wall tent

I thought that too!

Fred, I had Salem Tent make me a tent-fabric rain fly for my Davis, complete with the high heat rubber grommet for the stove pipe. Might ask whoever you buy from about that; they might have ready made ones on hand. If you can afford it, it's much nicer than a blue tarp and if you are gonna be in a wall tent in a lot of rain you need it IME. I stake mine up off the tent with extendable poles so there's an air gap between them.

Wall tents with end/wall stove jacks are easier to tarp and you'll not end up with burn holes in the roof......

Thanks for the advice it is appreciated.

Another vote for Davis. Great products, and great family.

Bravo in Oregon makes an excellent custom wall tent. He uses only the finest material. I'm with huntsman22......pipe out the back.

Alaska tent and tarp is a first class outfit. Check out their website.

Plus one on Bravo tents. Awesome folks and great work

I only have experience with Davis tent so cannot speak on the others, but I have been very happy with y Davis tent
