Well I HAD a US ARMY surplus hex tent with a nice liner, but I loaned it out to a guy and it was stolen. So I need a new winter tent soon. As always money is a major factor. I have looked around and have found replacement cost for the same tent will be nearly $400. (I only paid $200 for mine a few years ago). Any suggestions? Is there a better tent available for around that same price range?

For the 200 you probably won't find anything new, but you might find a used wall tent for that. For a new tent I like the looks of Cabela's new improved alaknak with the rainfly. The one I saw set up in the mountains was a pretty nice outfit. |

The most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.

SH, I have one just as you described, which I picked up years ago fro $75, andtheywere not hard to find. I took the liner out as my wood stove would get too hot inside. The door zipper is shot,but I keep this tent fro whenI go by myself asI can put it up alone,and it will withstand the worst weather. However,it's not for sale. Barring finding another one like it, I would look into a smaller wall tent with stove jack. Watch the ads after hunting seoasn. A lot of folks around here, seem to want to sell then. $200 is a little on the low side for about any decent heavy canvas tent now, even the mil surplus ones. |
