  2. Glacier Model RELIABLE TENT & TIPI   Based in Billings, Montana, they sell a full line of wall tents. And some very nice designs also. Pictured on the right is their "Glacier Tent".

  3. Gigatent Mt Kinsman GIGATENT   Look under the "Family Tents" tab for larger dome type tents. They have some unique designs.

    "We use materials that are heavier coated than most manufacturers. The coating on fabrics is measured in millimeters. Most of our competitors use a 450mm to 600mm coating on their tents and rain flys. Our tents use a 1200mm to 800mm coating on our rain flys, because the force generated by a storm is greatest on the rain fly. We use an 800mm to 600mm coating on our tent bodies where the force is less direct and weaker. The thinner the coating the less pressure needed to push water through. The door zipper design used most in our tents is known as a Twin Track zipper. This means that there are 2 zippers for the door, a horizontal zipper and a slightly curving vertical zipper. The Twin Track design minimizes the curve to the vertical zipper which can cause the zipper to fail sooner than a straight one, it also allows for a larger and easier to enter doorway. The zippers we use for our doors are larger in size than most other manufacturers. We use only nickel plated zipper sliders on our tents which slide easier and last longer. Our family tents are specifically designed to give the user the most interior volume possible. By using a combination of steel and fiberglass poles we have combined the straight walls of the cabin tent with the free standing nature of the dome tent to give the camper the best of both tent designs. The free standing nature of most of out family tents makes them easier to position in a campsite. We use pin and ring attachments for our poles which are easy to replace should one require it. We use 19mm steel poles for most of our large family tents. The poles are cable corded together instead of chain corded to reduce the possibility of breakage. We use larger diameter poles and shock cord in most of our products than our competition uses."

  5. Outfitter Canvas Wall Tent EXPLORATION TENTS   These tents are made for those of you interested in the rugged outback and you need a sturdy home to live in while you're drillin' for oil, looking for diamonds and gold or just want a place to live. They also sell liquid fuel type tent stoves that run off of probably airplane fuel or kerosene. They sell wall tent frames, stoves, outfitter wall tents, and insulated wall tents. Also i should mention an important thing about these tents - you can get one with a washable interior, i.e. you can use a sponge and soapy water to clean the interior. "All tents will collect a gray dingy appearance after regular use and even more so if an accident with a back-drafted oil stove blows creosote into the interior. All other canvas insulated tents are impossible to clean after an accident or regular use, so ours are designed with a Breathable and Washable Interior Lining. This allows the interior to be washed with a simple soap solution and a sponge when they become soiled."

    “At Exploration Tents and Arctic Camp Supplies we take pride in designing and selling tents that are precisely what the individual customer needs - professionally crafted and of the highest quality fabrics. We have 25 years of experience in Arctic and Sub-Arctic conditions; our tents and camp supplies are products that have been tested in some of the harshest environments on the planet.

  6. Soul Pad Tents SOULPAD TENTS   These are 100% canvas tents based on a very old design.

    "The original SoulPad (also known as a Sibley or Bell tent) is a sturdy type of tent whose walls are held up by a single central pole. Guy ropes are connected around the top of the walls and tensioned to hold the pole upright and keep the SoulPad’s elegant shape. They have a generous floor plan like a tipi, yurt or lavvu. A tried and tested 19th century design which has withstood the test of time. Can SoulPads be used as a permanent shelter? SoulPads are intended for regular, light, leisure use and it is our opinion that they do not make for a suitable permanent shelter. They are primarily a temporary structure. We are aware that some SoulPad customers do choose to use their SoulPad for long periods at a time, and in some instances as a permanent shelter (some with far more success than others). This is done so against our recommendation."

  7. Two Octogon Stoves
    KWIK KAMP STOVES   These are beautiful wood stoves made especially for your wall tent. Also, this business sells canvas wall tents suitable for long term living.

    “The ultimate airtight wood burning camp stove. The Kwik Kamp camp stove has been designed and engineered for peak performance and longevity in the field. Our simple yet highly efficient stove design will give you incredibly long wood burn times with unparalleled BTU outputs. The heart of our camp stove is its octagon-shaped wood burning fire box. We use 12 gauge steel for the body of the stove and form it into the eight sided octagon shape. The unique design virtually eliminates any distortion or body warp. The back of the fire box is 12 gauge steel with an "X" cross break formed into the plate before stoves assembly. This break also helps to prevent warp. The top of our wall tent camping stove is 10 gauge steel and is assembled with hefty "strong back" braces on the under side. This engineering assures the top will remain flat, even with continual wide open high burns. Our stove door is fabricated with 12 gauge steel and utilizes a fiberglass rope seal around the entire perimeter. Not only does the rope seal give the stove its air tight fire box but the channel we use to position the seal also strengthens the door immensely. We chose a round spin draft damper system on the door for ease of operation. An air baffle placed behind the draft damper assures there will be no hot sparks leaving the front of the stove through the damper slots. The positive locking door latch features a decorative wood handle to open and close door. Best of all our new stove does not require the use of a damper in the stove pipe. You only need to regulate the airflow coming into the fire box with the door damper. You can even extinguish the fire in the stove if the door damper is shut off completely (a plus when you want to conserve on wood). The camp stove legs are constructed of a heavy round pipe with a course thread insert in one end. The legs thread into inserts on the bottom of the stove. A course thread allows for an easy insert even when threads are dirty. Both stove sizes have 5" pipe openings on the tops of the stoves. The pipe ring is recessed inside the stove giving you a flat stove top for easy for packing. We offer a 28 gauge galvanized tapered stove pipe set for use on our stoves. Each pipe set comes with five 22" long sections. The pipe graduates slightly larger with each section. (5" diameter at stove to 6" diameter at end of last pipe). When disassembled each pipe will invert and slide inside the next. You only have one length of pipe to pack (fits inside stove). Our pipe uses a spot welded seam instead of a lock seam. This makes for a better fit and reduces the chance of smoke leakage at each joint. The optional warming trays can attach to either side of the camp stove making it more adjustable to fit in your wall tent. These trays are made out of 12 gauge steel and insert into pre-punched holes on the side of the stove. Because both stoves are made the same length (24" long) the side tray will fit any of the two stove sizes. The tray extends the cooking surface an additional 8" wider (place two trays on and gain another 16"). Our stainless steel water tanks will also fit any Kwik Kamp Stove. They may be placed on either side (or both sides if desired) of the stove. The tank holds 3 gallons of water and comes with a brass ball valve. The top of the tank is hinged to open for easy filling. The dimensional size of the tank allows it to fit inside any of our two stoves. With our extensive testing we are able to give you specific burn times and BTU outputs for each stove size. We are confident you will agree this is the finest wood burning stove on the market.”

  13. Rainier Wall Tents RAINIER TENTS   This site has some neat stuff.

  14. Vogelzang Barrel Stove Kit VOGELZANG BARREL STOVE KIT   This Model is the #BK100E. It has been said that you might have to use a round file to enlarge the air intake draft hole so you can maintain a normal fire in this stove. Or you may need to drill 4 more 3/4" holes directly under the draft holes. You will need to purchase a 30 gallon drum somewhere to complete this stove. You can check with your local metal recycler, the drum does not need to be new, just in good condition. I think i would shy away from using a drum which was used to store some kind of strong poisonous chemical. Drums used to store most petroleum products should be OK but do a "Trial Burn" in an outdoor area first to burn off any remaining residual oil or chemical before installing in your home or shelter. You can paint these drums using "Stove Paint" or some other heat resistant paint or high temperature spray paint. High temp spray paint is easy to find. It has been my experience that using these stoves in a safe manner can save a person a lot of money in heating bills. You can find free junk wood to burn at many places like even behind the Home Depot where they store both unwanted junk pallets along with good reusable ones. Sometimes businesses have to pay a refundable "Deposit or Pallet Charge" on loaded pallets shipped to them and of course they are not going to give you those pallets. Ask the store manager before removing any wood pallets from any business property. They will usually let you have the bad ones suitable for firewood for free.

    “This 100% cast iron kit converts any 30 or 55 gallon drum into an efficient wood-burning heater. Includes 2 legs, 6in. damper collar and an 11in. x 10in. feed-door. Low side unit puts out 40,000 BTU. Wide open high side unit puts out 150,000 BTU. Door measures 11in. x 10in. with adjustable vent. Barrel NOT included.”

  15. Trek Tents Canvas Wall Tent TREK TENTS   This appears to me to be a lower line of tent for those of you wishing to keep the cost low and the quality low also. These tents may not be suitable for 4 season living if that is your intention. These tents are available on Amazon and a lot of other places around the internet. They are probably in the same class as Wenzel and Texsport.

    The Outdoor Stores is located in Dallas, Texas. I am the Owner and i am The Outdoor Guy! I started The Outdoor Stores because it was always difficult to find the time to go hunting, i felt if I can't go hunting or fishing I would do the next best thing, and that was to start a business dealing with all the products necessary for hunting, fishing and camping. The idea took off and in December 2000 The Outdoor Stores was born, I still cannot find the time to hunt, fish and camp like I want but I am in my element and a much happier person. I enjoy this business so much I cannot believe I waited so long. The intent was to offer my fellow hunting, fishing and camping buddies products at an affordable price. We have grown so much since this business was launched and we are still growing. 2004 - 2006 were banner years for The Outdoor Stores as our sales have quadrupled and we have had difficulty keeping up with the demand. We are in for another record year in 2007 and are hard at work to make sure that we have the quality products our customers are looking for. We encourage our members and everyone to send us your comments or suggestions on how we can better serve you. All suggestions are reviewed personally by me The Outdoor Guy and I strive to implement any idea’s that may help us perform our work in a more efficient manner.

  16. Bravo Wall Tents BRAVO! WALL TENTS   This appears to me to possibly be a good tent to consider for full time tent living, if you are so inclined to doing so.

    “Our canvas wall tents are built to last! Whether you are looking for an existing model or a custom design to fit your camp, you will find the most up-to-date models at a price you can afford. Bravo! Super Grade Wall Tents are designed and built by elk hunters for elk hunters. Our design features include: A full 9ft ridge and 5ft sidewall for a steeper pitch; double stitched 4in eves with "D" rings instead of grommets to avoid pullout; storm flap and buckles over an industrial strength brass door zipper (instead of plastic door zippers found on common tents); doors can be buckled wide open; triangulated reinforcements at critical stress areas; and 2500lbs breaking strength web loops that can hold an honest tent stake. The Bravo! Super Grade Wall Tent is built with four layer interlocking body seams for superior strength, water repellency and finished appearance(as there are no raw edges). As a bonus our tents also finish at the said length when they leave the shop, making them larger than a cut size tent. Of all the many materials to build from for our Super Grade Wall Tents we prefer only one: Specifically called 10.38oz. Sunforger® Marine Boat shrunk Army Duck. This is the very best tent material on the market, Bar None! Regular duo fill canvas and Marine Canvas can be compared to the differences between regular plywood and marine plywood.”

That’s what makes every item we manufacturer the best the outdoor business has to offer.

  18. Alaska Tent ALASKA TENT & TARP   These people make and sell some very nice unique tents. Be sure to check out their "Arctic Oven" model. A four season tent which can be used anywhere. "These tents really shine in winter conditions, but they are a superb spring, summer and fall tent as well."

    “Our wall tents are made in Alaska with the rigors of the Arctic environment in mind. Standard features include 1) ridgepole openings at both ends; 2) rope reinforced eaves; 3) reinforced corners; 4) tie grommets around the bottom of the tent; 5) overlapping door flaps with ties. A white translucent fly is available, but we recommend you compare the cost of our Arctic Oven to see if it will serve as well or better. We make basic wall tents . . . You decide what to put on it . . . And we will customize it for your needs.”

  19. Montana Canvas MONTANA CANVAS   From the looks of their website they have some nice tent designs. Also, they sell a tipi model. They sell: Spike Tents, Wall Tents, Blend Tents, Stoves, & Tent Screen Doors & Windows, Tent Frames & Floors, Sleeping Bag Cover - Bedroll Combination, & Tent Divider. This is probably another option for those interested or contemplating full time tent living.

    “Montana Canvas is located in Southwest Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park, a perfect place to test our products. Our commitment to quality is second to none. We are dedicated to manufacturing the highest quality camping equipment and accessories. At the same time, we strive to keep our prices competitive, so you receive the highest value when you purchase from Montana Canvas. Canvas Tent Standard features: Determine the standard features canvas tents have that you are considering and the cost of additional features/options you want. Most canvas tent buyers want at the minimum these standard features: Front door with zipper, Stove jack, 10ft - 12ft vinyl sod cloth to keep canvas tents clean and sealed against the ground, Rope with tensioners & Tent stakes. Canvas Tent cost comparison: If the canvas tents you are considering purchasing do not have the standard features listed above, you need to add the costs of those features to the price of the tent before you can make a valid tent comparison. Some tent manufacturers list common standard features as options to increase the price of the tent from an initial low advertising price. Recommendations: I would recommend a back door w/zipper for cross ventilation for hot weather. Being in a canvas tent w/out a back door or window is miserable during hot weather. I would strongly recommend a tent bag to keep your tent clean during hauling and storage. If you are not sure about a feature I would probably add it. It is much cheaper to add features while the tent is under construction compared to costs after you take delivery. Color of tent: I would strongly encourage you purchase a tent that is a color that meets your requirements. White reflects lantern light much better than off white or colored tents. White shows the dirt faster than a colored tent. A colored tent will be warmer in colder conditions for it will not reflect the UV rays. This is more of a personal preference more than anything. Use your best judgment. Purchasing a large tent: Large canvas tents, 14'x16' to 16'x24' can weigh from 90 - 120 pounds and can be very difficult to set-up. Consider purchasing a blend tent, with its canvas roof and synthetic lightweight Relite walls. The blend tent weighs much less than an all canvas tent making it much easier to handle and set-up. The blend tent with its lightweight Relite walls is just as durable and weatherproof as all canvas tents.”

  20. Cabelas CABELAS   Cabela’s has a good selection of tents period. They have wall tents and their own special designs. For the person interested in full time tent living this might be a good place to shop. They guarantee their products. And have been a very dependable company as far as my personal experience goes.

    “The next generation in the Outfitter Series tents has enhanced safety features and user-friendly updates that take it to a whole new level. Sidewall condensation vents now have hook-and-loop closures all around the perimeter for better ventilation control. Three large multi-panel windows each have a zippered cover, a clear vinyl window that zips out of the way, and a mesh screen for added ventilation. The stove jack is covered by a storm flap that now rolls down to avoid contact with the piping, so it won't melt the material. Sizes still include the 12-ft. x 12-ft. and 12-ft. x 20-ft., and the new 13-ft. x 27-ft. The 12-ft. x 12-ft. model with 4-ft. walls and an angled roof window comfortably sleeps six, with plenty of room for a stove. Our 12-ft. x 20-ft. model sports all the room of a traditional wall tent with extra-tall 5-ft. walls for more headroom around the edges. The 12-ft. x 20-ft. tent is also equipped with two large doors for easy entry and exit, and two center support poles for added stability. The 13-ft. x 27-ft. has the most interior space in the Alaknak series, making it perfect for large party hunters or base camp. It has an impressive 11-person sleeping capacity, 5-ft. walls, two large doors, two offset center poles and one exterior center pole. Rugged, waterproof 250-denier polyester oxford X-Treme Tent Cloth has a high tear strength and resists punctures for lasting reliability. 10 perimeter tent poles keep the sidewalls from blowing in and add rigidity in high winds, so you can camp comfortably knowing you're protected. The heavy-duty No. 10 YKK® zippers and inverted T-style door makes entering and exiting the tent easy. Plus, it’s backed by a screen door, so you can let cool breezes in while keeping bugs out. The attached awning boasts a frame that comes down from the peak of the tent and directs runoff away from the door for superior protection in the wettest weather. The sidewalls have unique fold-down shelves that sport cup holders to eliminate spilled beverages and gear pockets to hold gear. The floor has a zip-open panel for safe placement and stove use. Tent sets up quickly and easily. Includes 12" steel stakes, guy ropes and a large zip-close storage bag.”

  21. Ken’s Tents KEN’S CUSTOM TENT & CANVAS   This is an interesting situation. This business was started when the man was unemployed and low on funds. Nice selection of wall tents. "Ken’s Custom Tent & Canvas specialize in rugged outdoor equipment... Wall tents, range teepees, square pyramid tents, tent accessories, camping gear and much more."

    “Our wall tents are made of heavy 12.6oz. Sunforger® Army Duck Canvas, as well as top quality thread and zippers. Sunforger® is a preshrunk, mildew treated water repellent double-fill canvas. It is the best 100% cotton tent canvas on the market. They are reinforced at all corners and eaves and are guaranteed to last a lifetime with proper care! As with all canvas products, wall tents must be thoroughly dry before storing to prevent mildew damage. A 9 FT addition off the front of the tent is called a "cook shack" and is basically a complete tent or "room" except it does not have a back wall. Matching cook shacks are available for each size of tent. Ken’s Custom Tent & Canvas has been in business since 1993. It is owned and operated by Ken and Sylvia Bahem of Homedale, Idaho. Prior to starting this endeavor, Ken worked as a camp tender in the sheep business. He saw lots of different equipment, most of which could use a little improvement. This kindled his interest in canvas work. Coming from the livestock industry, hours were long and the pay was poor, and good equipment was expensive. Ken decided to try making some of the canvas products himself. He and Sylvia purchased a sewing machine for $480. This was significant because he was currently unemployed and had to get a line of credit to get started. He began making saddle bags and horse packing equipment for himself and friends. It was a year before Ken decided to make a tent. He displayed it at a Lion’s Club activity on the 4th of July and a couple persuaded him to part with his first tent. That started the business. In the spring they moved into Homedale. A year and a half later, they purchased 6 1/2 acres south of town at the corner of Highway 95 and West Market. The business has changed dramatically - from the basement in a rented house to a 3,100 square foot shop with two full-time employees.”

  24. Portable Tent Platform TENT PLATFORM   This link takes you to the best site i could find that gives tent platform building instructions. Unfortunately the pictures showing the steps involved are not visible.

    If i were going to set up a cabin tent in the forest or woods to live in the first thing i would do is to build a wood platform to set the tent on. After you have built the platform coat it with a wood preservative. Then I would coat the platform with a solution of 2 parts paint thinner or turpentine and 1 part boiled linseed oil. A 2:1 mixture. Or stated another way: 2/3 paint thinner or turpentine and 1/3 boiled linseed oil. For example you could mix two quarts of paint thinner with one quart boiled linseed oil - that is a 2:1 mixture. You can substitute any quantity like cups or gallons. Let the coating dry. Be sure to dispose of any rags you have used wiping the linseed oil/paint thinner mixture properly because a wadded up rag can spontaneously combust into fire or flames. Then probably top coat the platform with some kind of outdoor paint. Let it dry then set up your tent. You could install eye hooks around the edge of the platform for any tie downs you might like to add for securing the tent to the platform. You might consider draping a large brown or green plastic tarp over the entire tent to help protect against any rain.

    “This tent platform, designed for Outdoor Life, features a 2x4 frame covered in ½-inch-thick exterior-grade plywood. The really cool thing about this project is that the platform is completely portable: It can be erected and disassembled using only a screwdriver and hammer, and it folds up to fit in the back of most pickup trucks. This 12- by 16-foot platform accommodates a 10- by 12-foot canvas wall tent. The extra 4 feet in front creates a small "front porch" that allows you to get out of the tent without stepping onto the ground. A detailed building plan of the platform is available online. Lumber and hardware will cost $450 to $500.”

  26. Indoor/Outdoor Carpet Sample TENT FLOOR COVERING FROM THE HOME DEPOT   It has been suggested that you should consider using Indoor/Outdoor carpeting for your tent floor. That sounds like a good idea to me. This link here takes you to the Home Depot websites Indoor/Outdoor carpet page where you can view their selection. The Home Depot carpet is one of the lower priced carpets as far as i can tell and may actually be perfect for a tent floor because of it’s low cost and adequate quality. Always remember to buy carpet with polypropylene backing, not jute backing. You cannot order this online, you must visit their retail store to buy this carpet.

    This inexpensive grass carpet is your answer to those concrete areas that need that little extra touch. This carpet is so easy to clean and maintain. A customer review: "I use this product on my deck and it withstands the weather and elements very well. Nice to walk bare foot on it. I also use it underneath my lawn furniture that’s on the ground.

  27. Outdoor Carpet TENT FLOOR COVERING FROM LOWES   This is another dependable source for quality Indoor/Outdoor carpet for your tent floor.

    “Forget about the green-turf carpets that you saw in the 1970s: With a large selection of colors and textures now available, Indoor/Outdoor carpet is much more than that. An intermediate-level do-it-yourselfer can tackle the installation in one day. You might have to rent a carpet-roller, but the tight seal it will provide will make it worth the minor expense. For easy-to-clean, fade- and stain-resistant carpet, choose material made from UV-resistant olefin fibers. Indoor/Outdoor carpet is available in varying grades of quality, color and weave. Do the touch test-the thicker the carpet feels, the higher the grade and durability. For areas that are prone to dampness or fully exposed to weather, make sure the carpet has an all-weather "marine" backing for moisture resistance. Economy grade grass carpet is good for all indoor areas and covered outdoor areas with low traffic. High grade grass carpet is good for all indoor areas and fully-exposed outdoor areas. High grade grass carpet with marine backing is best for fully exposed outdoor areas. Mid-grade plush carpet is good for indoor installation and covered outdoor areas with low traffic. High grade plush carpet is good for indoor installation and covered outdoor areas. Berber loop carpet with marine backing is best for indoor installation, especially in basements and other areas prone to moisture. Indoor/Outdoor carpet can be loose-laid or adhered to concrete, asphalt or wood decking with glue or double-faced tape. The main requirement is that the surface be clean, dry and smooth. You'll need to apply outdoor sealer to painted or waxed wood and slotted wooden decks. Indoor/Outdoor carpet is available in 6' and 12' widths. Indoor/Outdoor carpet is very easy to install on a prepared surface. For the best results, install carpet when the temperature is between 55 F and 95 F and the humidity is between 10 percent and 65 percent. Use two-sided tape for lower grade carpet and Indoor/Outdoor adhesive for higher grade.”

  33. Western Wall Tents WESTERN WALL TENTS   This company is located in Missoula Montana. I have added the following information from their website as a source of education for you the viewer of this webpage. These tents are probably suitable for full time living.

    "We work with the leading manufacturers of canvas wall tents, wood stoves, and camping gear in order to bring you the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices. Our wall tents are world-renowned and perfect for your outdoor activities such as elk hunting, deer hunting, scout camp, rendezvous re-enactment, Civil War re-enactment or just camping with the family! The most popular canvas weight for tent making is 10oz canvas. Most of our wall tents are made from canvas. Canvas is a cotton-based material that breathes well and provides insulation. Ultra-light synthetic materials such as Relite are available if weight is an issue. However these materials rarely breathe as well as canvas, and provide little insulation because they are so thin. Our recommendation is a 10oz canvas if you want lightweight, and a 12oz if durability is more important than weight. This refers to the weight of the canvas per square yard before any type of treatment is added. Treatment can add 10-40% more weight to the canvas. The 10oz canvas is a nice compromise between strength and tent weight. Although the old 17oz army tents were definitely durable, it usually took an army to set one up because they were so heavy! Most people want a lighter tent that is easier to pack and set up. Few companies are making heavier tents these days. However, a 12oz canvas provides more durability and insulation than a 10oz canvas. Our line of MAGNUM tents are made with 12oz preshrunk army duck canvas. The downside is that it is 20% heavier than 10oz canvas. About tent floors: A sewn-in floor makes it very difficult to set a tent up with an internal frame. Furthermore, it also makes for a difficult escape should you need to leave your tent in a hurry. Therefore, we normally sell floors that are separate from the tent and can be staked down or snapped to the tent walls. Alternatively, you can buy outdoor carpeting or a canvas tarp from your local hardware store to use as a floor. About what tent size to buy: We recommend 30 SF for each person, 30 SF for a wood stove, and/or 30 SF for each table; so this figures out for 1 person, 1 stove & 1 table; a 10'x10' tent would be minimum size requirement. This allows for plenty of room to move around in the tent. If you just want to pack people in for sleeping purposes, you can get away with 20 SF per person."

Camp fires are great, until the wind starts blowing and the sleet starts pounding into your freezing body. You go into your tent and fire up that little propane heater which raises the temperature a whole half a degree. You are miles from the nearest road and you'll have to stay in camp to ride out this storm. There is no need to climb into your sleeping bag and shiver when you have a quality Sheepherder camp stove hand made in the United States from Kni-Co Manufacturing, Inc. We make a whole range of wood camp stoves and wood tent stoves to meet your individual needs, from our light and small Packer Junior to our rugged Alaskan and our large collapsible Tundra Take Down model. Our camp stoves have proven themselves all over the country, in all types of extreme weather conditions, and during every season of the year. Cook right on top of the stove and put the items you just want to keep warm on the attached table. Pour some hot water out of the side water tank and make up some hot chocolate or hot buttered rum. Of course simply staying warm during a chilly night is also a good thing, and our stoves and accessories will help your canvas walled tent take the roughness out of roughing it. Don't have a suitable tent? We have one of the finest in our Big Horn unit.”

A group of unemployed people taking complete responsibility for their lives in Canada and making from scratch their own job. Possibly this is a model situation that could be duplicated by other people in other unrelated industries.

    “We are committed to bringing quality products to our customers and nothing less. Our story begins like many other small companies - in October 2008 a group of us got laid off from our jobs. Being involved in the sewing industry for 28 years and having knowledge of manufacturing wall tents from our previous work experience — it wasn't hard for us to start where we left off and start our own company. We are a growing company and we plan to stay around for generations. Our future plans are to expand and manufacture most of the materials used in the design of a wall tent and experiment with new ideas and design.”

  40. 30 Gallon Steel Drum - Closed Head 30 GALLON STEEL DRUM W/CLOSED HEAD   My own personal opinion based on my own experience is that a 30 gallon Barrel Stove is more than adequate for heating most living areas under lets say and i am guessing about 400 SF (20X20 FT) one room. This link takes you to Amazon.com where these barrels are available for sale. Depending on where you live, these barrels may be available from someone who specializes in selling used and maybe new steel, plastic & fiber drums. When i see these drums for sale i get excited because i know how useful they really are. This link is put up here to benefit those who do not have a local source for a 30 gallon drum and need one to build a stove. Another thing i need to mention is that i do not know if these steel drums will work with the Barrel Stove Kits you see on this website. I have no experience with building a stove using the cast iron stove kits available for sale through my website.

    “New Steel Drum Meets UN Standards. Ideal for containing, storing and transporting hazardous and non-hazardous materials. Complies with Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations and are UN approved. Corrosion resistant interior. Closed Head Drums include 2" and 3/4" top bung openings, one for filling and one for venting. UN Ratings: Liquid - 1A1/Y1.5/300 0.00 L. 0.00 W. 0.00 H.”

  42. New Stove Tent ALBION CANVAS   Albion Canvas has many unique designs in tents. On the board is this wall tent built around the use of a wood stove.

    “Welcome to the home of real tents! Traditional cotton canvas, oiled timber poles and frames, ropes, finials and wood pegs. We design and custom build all sorts of tented structures for camping, the garden, events, fixed luxury tented accommodation, film and TV. Browse through our extensive range of beautifully engineered and finished canvas tents. There’s something for everyone here; from classic ridge tents through to top of the range yurts and tipis. Plus, if you can't see exactly what you are after we should be able to make it for you. Here we have the latest addition to the Albion Canvas collection. There are a few details (like price!) yet to be finalized, but I have been working on the design for a while and thought you might like to see it. The idea is a smallish tent that can accommodate a small wood burning stove safely. Many of the other designs like the Bell tents have stoves fitted but aren't entirely satisfactory, so I have designed the Satara specifically to take a stove. As per usual all the canvas is fire retardant, but the tent has been designed to keep the stove to one side, with a roof pitch to take a silicone flue collar at the correct angle. There is a plenty of room to the rear for a double mattress, and a single bed to one side. The tent can be divided in two different ways with hangings, and can also be extended to increase the living space. The overall floor space is 3m x 4m (10ft x 13ft) with a height in the center of 2.13 m (7ft) and wall height of 9.1m (3ft). Traditional sectioned wooden poles and finials. Side poles to reduce the guy rope footprint are available although not essential. There is also the option to extend the front porch to give a good 1.7m (5ft) covered area in front of the tent, ideal for sitting out or cooking in good weather. The rear angled corner walls have a netted roll up window in each to give good ventilation in warm weather. Cost is looking around £1350.00 + stove, final price available once we have completed the prototype.”
