Looking for some input on good wall tent companies? Want something that’s going to hold up in late season hunts.

I have a White Duck and have zero complaints about it. It’s a bell tent thought not a wall tent.

Davis tents or wall tent shop. I only have a 10x14 Kodiak flexbow but it works pretty well. Next tent I buy if I don’t buy a bumper pull trailer will be a Davis with the awning extension or maybe the cook shack extension.

Buddy has a kodiak canvas 12x12 and another buddy has a 8man cabelas outfitter instinct and they both work for September moose. So basically the start of winters

Davis. I have a 16x14 that's quite nice. Never spent time in anything else beside a synthetic Cabela's Alaknak.
That Alaknak tended to collect quite a bit of condensation and wasn't in the same level as a good canvas tent. Built in floor also that I didn't like.
Hear good things about almost all the wall tent makers tho. If you really want the best get one with the adjustable frame to keep the canvas tight on uneven ground. I'd skip the toxic fireproof coating on all.

My buddy has a wall tent that has seen its fair share of hunts. The roof is covered in holes from stove pipe embers. To 'waterproof' the roof, we have been using a tarp on top (and have been for years to extend the life of the tent). It just adds an extra step to the set-up process. We started researching wall tent alternatives and decided on a yurt for our fourth season hunt in the rockies. I am surprised that more hunters don't use yurts for their hunt camp. The vinyl material should last generations, they require minimal setup time, some have the option to add insulation, there aren't any guy wires to trip on, and it won't sag from heavy snowfall.

Do you have a link to the Yurt you’re talking about? Thanks

I've had a Kodiak for a few years now and its held up great, even in some high winds.

Another Beckel user here. We’ve had a 14’x21’ for 26 years and it’s in awesome condition. Not a single problem in all those years.

Have used a Kodiak 10x10 for a couple years and just bought the 12x12 to have more space for the stove. Been happy with my experience with them so far.
