Wall Tent / Car Camping Creature Comforts

[Fever Buck]

Hey y’all,

Bought a 10x14 Springbar Skyliner and will be spending about 15-20 nights in it over the next two months between rifle elk and deer in Colorado. This will be my first time using a wall tent/flexbow. I’ll have a wood stove, cot, power bank, and camp chair. For those that car camp or use wall tents, what creature comforts do y’all bring?

Would appreciate any suggestions y’all can send my way. Thanks!

A good pad for your cot, pillow and sleeping bag rated for the cold. Plenty of water. One item I made from a weed sprayer is a camp shower, can sure feel good after a couple of days.

Like Mainbeam said, a good sleeping pad would be my first want. After that:
-camp table is nice to have
-wader hangers to hang boots from the top of the tent to dry them out
-lantern of some type, I use a rechargeable one in my wall tent
-pour over coffee (non-instant).

Best of luck with your hunt

Those are good tips thanks. Did you do anything to warm the water for the shower? Something I’ve been wondering about.

Thank you. Do you have a recommendation on the lantern? Pour over coffee is a good idea.

I've got a similar setup for a camp shower, I just heat a pot on the stove and add it to some cold water in the shower. Add more until it's whatever temp you want. The trick is to know about how much water you need total, so you don't end up heating a gallon more than you actually use.

The classic Coleman lantern that runs off white gas is pretty great, lots of light, good runtime, and the actual lantern should last forever. Or a propane one if you've already got a big LP can.
