Standard Features STRONGEST & MOST REINFORCED TENT AVAILABLE $200 worth of free options for some other tent companies. FREE BACK DOOR OR BACK WINDOW. Free back door or back window, your choice. A $50 feature included free with our tents for camping in the winter! FREE DOUBLE LAYER OF CANVAS ON RIDGE. Significantly reinforces the ridge. Some tent companies charge $75 to $200 for this feature. Very necessary when using lodge pole frames. The tent roof will tear or rip easily if the lodge pole is not smooth when the pole is being pushed through the ridge pole openings. A $150 option on some winter tents. FREE STORM FLAP/COLORADO DOOR. 8" storm flap with buckle protects front & back door zippers. Helps keep out the wind. A $45 option on some cold-weather tents. FREE REINFORCED EAVE WITH WEBBING ENTIRE LENGTH OF EAVE. Much stronger than eaves with no reinforcement. FREE STEEL D RINGS SEWN INTO WEBBING. Much stronger than tents with metal grommets pressed into canvas eaves. STOVE JACK OPENING. 5.5 inches. 6-inch available by cutting out just before the stitched 6-inch pattern. Most stoves require a 5 1/2 inch hole; otherwise, there is too much stove pipe slack, causing the pipe to move excessively during windy conditions. Stove jack is located on the roof in the front left corner of your canvas winter tent - 30" from the front door and 30" from the top of the sidewall. VINYL SOD CLOTH. 10" vinyl sod cloth sewn onto the bottom of the wall. Acts as an air seal and keeps the canvas off the ground. Prevents water from wicking up the canvas walls. TENT BAG. Some companies charge $35 for a tent bag. Rolled up inside of tent. RIDGE OPENINGS FOR LODGE POLE. Flaps seal openings when the lodge pole is not used. FRONT ZIPPERED DOOR, YKK #10. The highest quality heavy-duty zipper made. 200 FEET OF ROPE AND 20 TENSIONERS are rolled up inside our winter tents for sale. 5' SIDEWALLS provide much more headroom. Some tent companies advertise 5' but it is actually 4'8". 6' Sidewalls are also available as an upgrade. Walls are measured from the outside of the cold-weather tent. WALLS ARE FULL 5' OF CANVAS. Some unusually designed tents for camping in the winter have only 4' walls with 18" of vinyl sewn onto the bottom of the tent. The 18" sod cloth cannot be staked down properly, and wind blows under the sod cloth, creating a tent that is difficult to heat in cold weather. Additionally, the sod cloth will flap in the wind, making for a less-than-enjoyable camping experience. Tents must have the canvas walls touching the ground to stake the walls to the ground to prevent wind from blowing under the canvas winter tent walls. Windows are 30" x 30" and have screens. Not small triangle windows that provide much less ventilation. 5-foot walls measured from the outside of the tent. 6' SIDE WALL OPTION 6' side walls provide much more headroom and usable tent space. 6' walls allow a person to get next to a wall without hitting their head against rafters or canvas roof. Some companies only have 4' 7" sidewalls, which severely restricts how much space you can actually use. Strongly recommend you ask your suppliers the finished height of side walls before purchasing, so you will not be surprised or disappointed upon delivery. 6' option only available on FIRE, water, and mildew-treated winter tents for sale. General Information Note: Shipping bags for floors, fly, extended fly, porches, and cook shacks options are not large enough to be used for storage bags. We also recommend you read our TENT SET UP LOCATION GUIDE before you set up your canvas winter tent to avoid wind issues that can destroy tents for camping in the winter.

Frequently Asked Questions WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A CANVAS WINTER TENT VS. A SYNTHETIC WINTER TENT? Nylon winter tents with a stove are not recommended. Any sparks from the chimney pipe landing on a nylon tent roof will easily burn holes in the nylon roof of the cold-weather tent. Even when using a canvas tent with a stove, it is imperative that you have a tarp, commonly called a fly, to protect your roof. It is much better to have an occasional hole in the fly than in the roof. A fly tarp can be repaired with duct tape - Rich (owner). Canvas winter tents offer several advantages over synthetic winter tents for sale, particularly in colder climates and harsh weather conditions. Here's a detailed comparison: Advantages of Canvas Winter Tents Durability: Canvas tents for camping in the winter are known for their exceptional durability, often lasting for many years if properly cared for. The thick, tightly woven fabric can withstand abrasion, punctures, and exposure to UV radiation better than synthetic materials. We use army duck double-fill canvas in our canvas winter tents, the strongest canvas available. Insulation: Canvas provides better insulation than synthetic materials, helping to retain heat inside the tent during cold weather. The natural fibers of canvas trap air more effectively, creating a barrier against the cold and reducing heat loss. Breathability: Canvas is a breathable material that allows moisture vapor to escape from the interior of the tent. This helps to reduce condensation buildup inside the tent, which can be a significant concern in cold weather. Temperature Regulation: Canvas cold-weather tents have superior temperature regulation capabilities compared to synthetic tents. The thicker fabric acts as a buffer against temperature fluctuations, helping to keep the interior cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold weather. ARE YOUR CANVAS WINTER TENTS FOR SALE FIREPROOF? Our fire-treated tents meet the CPAI 84 fire retardant code. If a winter canvas tent is not specifically treated for fire resistance, it will burn quickly. Fire-resistant canvas will only burn when there is a flame source present on the canvas. When you remove the flame source, the wall tent will stop burning. However, there is no wall tent made that will not burn. LEAVING A CANVAS WINTER TENT UP DURING THE WINTER? I recommend taking down your winter canvas tent if you are not going to be present at the campsite every day. Each year, I have customers call and order a new tent because their tents for camping in the winter collapsed under snow loads. WHAT ARE THE STOVE REQUIREMENTS FOR CANVAS WINTER TENTS? Hunting or camping in cold-weather tents requires a specific stove size for your temperature requirements. You must determine how cold it will be, the weight and size of the stove for transporting, and also the burn time requirements to keep you warm at night. Click canvas winter tent TENT STOVE for info on 10 different models. A cold-weather tent with a stove will easily keep you warm at night and dry all your clothes. I normally recommend buying 1 size larger stove than you think you need. Don't put more wood in it than you need to keep warm. If it ever gets really cold when camping in a cold-weather tent, you will be able to add more wood to stay warm and comfortable. Ensure you purchase a canvas winter tent for sale with a stove jack that allows you to have a wood stove for heat. If you don't plan on initially using it, you might change your mind later. Also, it will be much easier to sell a canvas winter tent with a stove jack if you decide to give up camping in extreme weather. IS A WOOD STOVE BETTER TO USE THAN A PROPANE STOVE? A propane stove is not as safe as wood. Every year, campers and hunters die in their sleep due to propane leaks. Exercise extreme caution when using a stove in tents for camping in the winter. One year, I was lazy and used a propane heater at night because I was going on a short hunting trip. Fortunately, I woke up the first night and smelled a propane leak coming from a defective fitting. The next day, I went home for my wood stove. It cost me a day of hunting, but it was worth it. I will never use another propane heater. I also use a long-lasting battery lantern to reduce the possibility of propane leaks. I use my wood stove for cooking. However, I do occasionally use a propane stove, but I turn off the propane tank and place the tank outside at night. I have been in many winter tents for sale with stoves for the last 50 years. I only had to be lazy one time to almost pay a heavy price for being a fool and too lazy to cut wood. - Rich, owner. WHAT IS AN EAVE TROUGH PROBLEM WHEN LEAVING A TENT SET UP FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD? If you leave the cold-weather tent set up for an extended period of time, water can collect on the roof in an "eave trough". The trough is the area at the bottom of the roof just before the side horizontal tent frame poles. Canvas should be very tight on the frame if set up for extended periods of time, and a fly is used. The fly of tents for camping in the winter should also be tight to avoid water and snow in the eave trough. A canvas winter tent saturated in water will rot and mildew regardless of water and mildew protection applied. There is no warranty for eave rot. HOW TIGHT SHOULD THE CANVAS WINTER TENT BE ON AN INTERNAL FRAME? ALWAYS KEEP YOUR TENT ROOF AND FLY TAUT SO WATER CAN QUICKLY BE REMOVED FROM YOUR TENT. Water can collect on the roof in an "eave trough," which is a low area just before the sidewall created by a not-tight roof or loose fly. Canvas should be very taut on a tent frame, especially if it’s set up for extended periods of time and a fly is used. The fly should also be tight to avoid water in an eave trough. Water will eventually go through the fly if saturated for weeks. Canvas saturated in water will rot and mildew regardless of water and mildew protection applied. There is no warranty for eave rot. WHAT ARE THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR USING A STOVE IN A CANVAS WINTER TENT? Never put a stove directly on top of canvas or vinyl floor. A fireproof mat under the stove is recommended for any canvas winter tent for sale with a stove. A fireproof heat shield can be tied to the side wall frame of the cold-weather tent for extra fire protection. USING HAY BALES FOR WIND PROTECTION? Some of my customers stack hay bales along the outside wall of their tents for camping in the winter for insulation and to blunt any strong winds. Using hay bales is more common for extended hunting or camping trips in high-wind areas. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WINTER CAMPING IN A CANVAS WINTER TENT? Winter camping can be a challenging but rewarding outdoor experience. Here are some tips to help you prepare for a winter camping trip: Check the Weather Forecast: Monitor the weather forecast leading up to your trip. Be prepared for changing conditions and have a backup plan in case of severe weather. Practice Setting Up Your Gear: Set up your canvas winter tent and test your gear in controlled conditions before heading out. Winter Weather Protection: When you buy a canvas winter tent for sale, make sure it’s designed to withstand snow and cold temperatures Select the Right Gear: Invest in high-quality cold-weather gear and a cold-rated sleeping bag. Layer your clothing to stay warm. Use moisture-wicking base layers, insulating layers, and a waterproof and windproof outer layer. Bring a warm hat, gloves, and waterproof boots. Sleeping Pad: Use a high R-value sleeping pad to insulate yourself from the cold ground. Consider using two pads for added insulation in your cold-weather tent. Winter Camping Stove: Use a stove suitable for cold conditions, as some fuel types may not work well in freezing temperatures. Cooking Supplies: Bring high-energy and easily prepared food. Snow Shovel: Pack a lightweight snow shovel for clearing your winter tent area and paths. Navigation Tools: Carry a map and compass, and consider a GPS device. Be familiar with the terrain and potential hazards. Lighting: Bring extra batteries for headlamps and flashlights. Communication: Have a fully charged cell phone and consider a backup power source. Choose the Right Location: Select a campsite with good drainage to avoid melting snow accumulation. Be aware of potential avalanche risk in the area. Check if camping permits or reservations are required. Build a Solid Shelter: Choose a proper campsite and clear away snow to create a level surface for your canvas winter tent. Set up tents for camping in the winter securely, making sure they're well-anchored and can withstand winter conditions. Stay Dry: Use a waterproof and windproof outer layer to protect against snow and moisture. Moisture is your enemy in cold weather. Make sure your tent is properly ventilated to prevent condensation. Use a waterproof ground cloth under your cold-weather tent, and keep your clothing and gear dry. Campfire Safety: Depending on the area and regulations, you may or may not be allowed to have a campfire. If allowed, use a designated fire ring and be cautious of snow accumulation around the fire. Keep the fire a safe distance from the canvas winter tent. Cooking and Nutrition: Plan warm, hearty meals that provide plenty of calories. Bring a reliable stove for cooking, as finding dry wood for a fire can be challenging in snowy conditions. Hydration: Stay hydrated, even in cold weather. It's easy to forget to drink water when it's cold, but dehydration is a risk in winter. Keep a water bottle in your sleeping bag to prevent it from freezing overnight. Navigation: Winter landscapes can look very different from other seasons. Make sure you have a map, compass, and/or GPS device, and know how to use them. Familiarize yourself with the area before camping with any of our winter tents for sale. Emergency Preparedness: Carry a well-stocked first aid kit and be prepared for emergencies. Know how to recognize and treat cold-related injuries such a frostbite and hypothermia. Check weather Conditions: Stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared for sudden changes. Even the best tents for camping in the winter won’t protect you from frigid temperatures. Tell Someone Your Plans: Before heading out, inform someone about your camping plans, including your route and expected return time. This ensures that someone knows where you are in case of an emergency. Winter-Specific Skills: Learn and practice winter-specific outdoor skills, such as snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, depending on the terrain where you’re using your canvas winter tent. Leave No Trace: Practice Leave No Trace principles, especially in winter when the environment is more vulnerable. Pack out all trash and minimize your impact on the surroundings. Remember that camping in a cold-weather tent during the winter requires extra caution, and it's essential to be well-prepared for changing conditions. Take the time to learn the necessary skills and invest in a quality winter canvas tent and proper equipment to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Always prioritize safety and make adjustments to your plans based on the weather and your group's experience level. WHAT IS THE FUN AND THRILL OF COLD WEATHER CAMPING IN A CANVAS WINTER TENT?
