Wall Tents
Watching some YouTube channels last night on simple and affordable cabin building (12*x12*) nothing extravagant. After that started looking at other living options and in comes the Wall Tent. Anyone here live in one for any extended period of time including winter?
If so any tips on how to make it more enjoyable and livable?
Off the bat I do know for longer term stays to build and put it up on a platform vs right in the ground. Indoor/outdoor carpet helps to make it a bit more comfortable in the inside as well.Last edited by Hodgie; January 19th, 2021 at 07:19 PM.

Always thought yurts were pretty cool, but they're pricey.

Re: Wall Tents
Look at YAKIMA tents They sell outfitter wall tents with a set up for a wood stove. We used their Civil War wall tents for years and were impressed with the quality. If you are setting up for long term get a fly to put over the tent to help with the temperature swings.

Many moons ago, on a hunting trip to Montana, I stayed a week in a wall tent on a cot with just a carpet on the dirt. It was cozy as long as the wood stove didn’t go out. Likewise, the cook/mess tent stayed warm.
I agree on the Yakima tents with a fly. I too used one for many years Civil War reenacting. Good quality and I believe still made in the USA.

Re: Wall Tents
Some pretty good info in this video with what to look for in a wall tent especially if your going to spend a lot of time in it. This guy had a great channel for living off the grid and DIY stuff. His wife has her own channel two which is almost just as good as his.
He recommended this brand, affordable, USA made, veteran owned.

All make quality canvas tents in various styles. I’ve had my wedge from Tentsmiths for about 20 years and its still good. I put the stove jack in myself. Do yourself a favor and have it pre-installed.
