I've spent the last two Winter Camping Symposiums enthralled with the idea of a Snowtrekker tent. The more I study them and see them in action, the more they impress me. I want to buy one (and will definitely some day soon), but I decided to see if I could build one this go 'round. Much to my surprise, it all worked out really well. Been testing it in snow, ice, winds, the works without a hiccup. My pup and ever-ready camping buddy heartily approves. However, I won't make another one! I did save some money and had a lot of fun building this tent, but I really respect the crap outta Snowtrekker and the research, design iterations, field testing, and materials development that have gone into making their product line...not to mention doing it at such a reasonable price. So, kudos to them for such a great product. Here's the specs of my less-great product 😆:
- Dimensions: 8x10 with 6'2" peak height
- Material: 7 ounce untreated canvas (preshrunk) tent body with midweight ripstop nylon sod cloth
- Weight: 11.75 pounds (tent) | 17.25 pounds (tent and frame)
- Paired with the small Kni-Co stove from Snowtrekker
- Replaceable stove jack
