Cabelas XWT tent

[Clayniss]

Hey all,
I found what I thought was a good deal on a Cabelas XWT. Picked it up for $475. How did I do? Plan to use as a tent for my base camp instead of wall tents like I've used in the past.

I think those and all Cabelas tents are out of production now other than the good old 4,6,8 man Alaskan guide domes.
I think you got a screaming good deal! Does that model have a stove Jack?

Great deal. I was debating getting the XWT vs Alaskan Guide 8. I wasn't convinced I could set up the XWT by myself so I get the Guide 8. You've got yourself an amazing tent that will withstand anything nature can throw at you.

Here's a video on setting it up. They claim you can do it with one person with a certain kit from Cabelas. They jerry-rigged a system using tent stakes and paracord.

Best of luck with it.
