Want to rent a Wall Tent camp

[rlshrumva]

Anyone have a wall tent camp (for 2-4 hunters) that you would consider renting? Or know someone that would? We can either pick it up in Denver or Cody. Our hunt will be from 10/12-10/23 this year. Thanks in advance for for your help!!

I have a 12 X 16 with a 6 ft kitchen extention. It has 4 windows for ventilation. I removed the roof opening for a heater so you'll have to use a propane heater with a carbon monixide monitor. We have slept 6 in it very well. The floor can be natural grass or we use a heavy tarp. I would sell it for $2000 I think I have 5 or 6 thousand in it right now. I am at Sparks Nevada.

This sounds like a nice rig, however we are just interested in renting a camp versus purchasing one. Thank you for your quick response!!

You might talk to Davis Tent in Denver. I don't know if they rent, but they might have something laying around. You never know.

Stupid question time: why wall tent vs hot tent? If it's just to accommodate a wood heater ive seen some pretty inexpensive hot tents in my searching

Primarily for the amount of space, weather resistantance, and it's an elk hunt in the backcountry.

So the wall tent provides more protection?

Don't forget about weight as thin DONT hold the heat as well as thicker. Our 12x12 weighs 52lb and the 14x17's weigh 110lb.
We notice the biggest heat gain is a tarp or plastic covering them.

What is a "hot tent"?

I know a guy trying to sell a Wall tent and stove for cheap. I'd bet he would rent it but I think he's only asking 400 bucks or something. For that price you'd be lucky to find a better deal to "rent". Shoot me a PM and I'll forward you his number. You can shoot him a text. He's off 25 so if you're heading from Denver to Wyoming you'd drive right by.

In my mind it's any tent capable of housing a wood heater. More like the tipis.
