I have aquired an older tent that is made by Montana Canvas and I believe it was made for Cabelas due to the big Cabelas Outfiitter tag sewn on the front. It is in good shape and has been well taken care of. I’m trying to find out what model it is and what it is made from so I can properly treat it. I have reached out to Montana Canvas but thought I’d see if anyone here may know something about it. Here are a few pictures.
Thanks.
***UPDATE***
After talking to and showing Montana Canvas these pictures, The representative I spoke to believes this tent to be pushing 35 years old. The tent is the Bangtail model that was a Cabelas exclusive. (Named after the Bangtail Mountain Range). It was manufactured from the original white relite polyester material. Unfortunately they no longer carry the waterproofing products to treat the old Relite polyester tent. They said they had heard mixed results from customers using various seam sealers in the seams and then a DWR type of treatment on the fabric such as Dry Guys. Dry Guy Waterproofing . Thanks for all the input.
I purchased this tent from an older gentleman that used it on several adventures and took great care of it. Other than the interior floor needing a good cleaning and resealing the seams and the tent, I hope it has many more adventures to come.
Thanks.
