new Arctic baker tent.

[Red Fox]

Me and welchy have been working on bushcraft tent's that are good for all year round bushcraft. We have based the tents on baker tents . Thay are lightweight and can withstand long term cold .The tents can have sides and stoves and front panels to keep out the cold and wet Thay also can be open in hot wather ,and a close fire can be used if we have no log stoves. My tent is smaller than daves wich will be easier to warm up and pack down. But daves is a nice size for better working space and kit room in my opinion Thay will work very well . and both tents are lighter than the polish lavu mods we did and will not absorb the snow melt at all because of the nature of the fabric we used. I just wish we could find more.

flat roofs are no good really in havey snow or rain but the roof will be sported in the middle with a tie out line also the roof can run down and be completely closed up with duch lace. I will see if I can find some photos for you

thanks crisis. It's like a normal tarp coated with cotton it's good because it will not absorb water and is good for sparks from the fire and stove

The material is a pu coated polycotton here is my version. I still need to make the detachable sides.

 

[Twodogs]

Very tidy ,,,

Do like the colour

 

[ammo]

Very, very nice. I have a Whelan Shelter, very similar. I angle the roof, and wrap the sides in bad weather.
That looks like an improvement on mine.

We are going to be adding to them things like snow skirts so we can add photos when we do.

Pu coated poly cotton eh, interesting.......is the material itself lighter than the polish laavu or just the finished tent?

The fabric is much lighter than the canvas of a Polish lavuu.
