Plan for 3.4 square metres (35 square feet) per camper for cot and gear. One of the guys at Edmonton Tent and Awning has two tents in his personal set-up. Seek advice from someone who has been a canvas tent camper.
What type of heat source would be best when in cold climates? What type of vehicle is being used to transport the tent and gear? Will a porch extension be needed for firewood storage or cooking area? How many people are going to be sleeping in the tent? Here are some questions to consider before ordering your tent: The advice that follows is a combination of their input and my own first-hand and sometimes hard-earned experience to help with the decision to step into a canvas wall tent and to inform the decisions that follow. The first decision is choosing a supplier and settling on a size, then the funs starts with selecting options and choosing optional equipment.īefore tackling this topic, I reached out to Beau White of Deluxe Tents on Vancouver Island and the resident tent expert at Edmonton Tent and Awning.

Have you guys skied "Il Cesso" or "Pressure Drop"? They used to be some of the best tree skiing on the mountain, now they are bump runs that get roasted in morning sun. I'm not opposed to clearing dead fall, or brush whacking either, but I have skied it a lot, and have seen the trees they have marked for removal, and removing many of those trees won't improve the skiing there. Also, isn't the "front" side of TV the closest thing the Bowl has to north-facing?Īs I said, ".folks that don't have the skills to ski expert terrain are scared to go there.
