[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2485415, member: 29323"] Springbar and Kodiak tents are superior tents, and come in various sizes. Two guys can set one up in 5 minutes. Most of that is pounding stakes. If you had tie downs already set on your trailer, you could set one up in 2 minutes. They hold up to strong winds (40 mph gusts last week in my Springbar) and are completely dry inside regardless of rain, snow, and hail. Their superior canvas doesn't drip when touched when wet like the old canvas tents (and some modern wall tents). We camped in 12° weather with just a Mr. Heater. For sleeping, you want a 4" foam pad under you. I've slept comfortably on cots with 4" foam at -20°. I'd want a carpet or maybe even a carpet pad under the carpet. That cold air under the floor sucks the heat away. I was on a windy aoudad hunt (aren't they all?) two years ago in a nice nylon tipi tent. I woke up cold and looked up to see stars. The floor of the tent was still attached to the ground, but not the rest of the tent. We slept in the truck after that. Canvas Rules. The only advantage I could see in having a tent on a trailer would being able to move camp easily. Most places I hunt, it would be difficult to get a trailer into, so that's a no go for me. [/QUOTE]
