Wilderness models are usually among the lowest priced premium canvas tents available. When comparing prices, look at canvas quality, included features, shipping, sales tax, frame requirements, and warranty support.

You need a stove jack if you plan to run a wood stove inside the tent. A stove also takes usable floor space. Winter, hunting, and hot tent setups work better when you allow for stove space. Use our tent size guide to compare common footprints and interior layouts.

All Wilderness tents use Army Duck double fill canvas. This canvas is dense, durable, breathable, and designed for four season use.

Double fill canvas uses two ply yarns in both directions, making it stronger and smoother than single fill canvas used by some competitors.

The bottom line: Army Duck canvas offers durability, weather resistance, mold resistance, and long service life.

Size depends on people, gear, stove use, and comfort expectations. Our capacity recommendations are based on decades of real world use, not marketing claims.

Store your tent in a dry place. Be careful to avoid rolling up twigs and leaves, especially wet ones, in the canvas before storage. These often will leave permanent stains on the canvas. Your eave ropes must be totally dry before storing your tent. If not, the wet eave ropes will cause mold and mildew.

Tents normally last 15-30 years, depending on how well they are taken care of and how much the tent is used. You don’t want to have to buy a new canvas tent because yours got damaged, so avoid these common mistakes:

• Putting the tent away wet. Regardless of the water and mildew treatment on tents, the canvas will get rot and mold if put away wet.
• Holes in the tent roof from stove sparks landing on the roof. Always use a fly to protect your roof.
• UV deterioration. Exposure to direct sunlight for lengthy periods will destroy canvas. Always use a fly.
• Leaving a tent set up for extended periods of time. Water can collect on the roof in an eave trough. The trough is the area at the bottom of the roof just before the side horizontal tent frame poles.
• Excessive snow loads.
• Not securing the canvas tent properly in high winds. A tent is just like a sail and will blow away if not roped and staked down properly.
• Not using a fly or tarp. A fly protects your tent roof and significantly increases the tent's lifespan.
