Huntster Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I suddenly realized I had pics from my caribou hunt last month. Here is the Cabelas Alaskan Guide 6-man tent I sleep in. It’s set up 55 yards from the cook tent. The cook tent is an Eskimo ice fishing tent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted September 24, 2018 Admin Share Posted September 24, 2018 That is some barren country! Reminds me of North Dakota. Bull down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xspider1 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Cool thread! Thanks for the info. and the great pics guys! that inspired me to get my $20 tents down from the attic and see if they still work. lol I had a nice Hillary "wall tent" with a canvas top for decades, but I think i finally let the tent poles get rusted out.

As in Sir Edmund Hillary? I have always been fascinated with the Whelan shelter, even though Col. Whelan himself noted that the design was not sufficient for extreme bugs or extreme cold, both of which define the Alaskan outdoors. My ice fishing cook shack, coupled with a citronella candle, is sufficient to survive attack by the hordes of mosquitoes and biting flies. The wide open Whelan shelter would get me eaten alive.

Pdub Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I’m jealous of all you western guys and your awesome tents. Maybe I’m soft but I don’t winter camp here in MN. I used to deer hunt but that was all done from the friendly confines of a cabin or house. Personally I’m a hammock guy. This past weekend in the BWCA was the first time I used the hammock and the wife and child were in a tent. Normally when camping with them I sleep in the tent. They both are now demanding hammocks for next year after trying out my set up. Thinking of giving them my ENO and upgrading to Warbonnet or Hennessy.

My Dad bought me a tent like this, in around 1986: Nice, basic tent that I used many times, but fairly difficult to set up (requires 2 people)...
