What is the quality of the Wilderness canvas material?

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.

What size canvas tent should I buy?

Size depends on people, gear, stove use, and comfort expectations. Our capacity recommendations are based on decades of real world use, not marketing claims. Some companies list unrealistic capacities. Our guidance reflects usable living space.

Is the Wilderness canvas tent weather resistant?

Yes. Army Duck canvas is naturally water resistant and treated for water and mildew protection. Storm flaps, sod cloth, ridge flaps, and reinforced seams help block wind and rain. A roof fly or tarp adds extra protection.

How sturdy and strong is the Wilderness canvas tent?

The Wilderness is our most reinforced tent. It features double layered ridges, reinforced eaves, stress point reinforcement, and YKK zippers. It is built for demanding environments and backed by a two year warranty.

What are the best procedures to prevent fires in a canvas tent?

Fire-treated canvas is fire-resistant but not fireproof. A continuous flame or extreme heat will cause fire-treated canvas to burn. However, if the heat source is removed, the fire-treated canvas will stop burning. Always have fire-treated material under the stove and a minimum of 12 inches to the front of the stove. When opening the stove door, hot coals can accidentally fall out of your stove and cause a fire. The most common fire is a stove jack canvas flap fire that spreads to the rest of the roof. The stove jack canvas flap must be tightly rolled up and securely tightened with square knots. Always keep very heavy-duty leather gloves near the stove in the event of any stove issues.

Does your company buy products from China?

I do not buy any canvas camping tents for sale from China, even though China has the lowest prices. That includes other products and materials, too. This has been my policy since 2002. Other tent companies buy most of their tents and canvas from China because it is cheaper.

How do I wash and clean my tent?

Wash canvas tents with Losso Tent Cleaner, Woolite, or a mild dishwashing liquid. Use one capful to 2 gallons of lukewarm water. Use a soft brush or rag to scrub lightly. Hard scrubbing or pressure sprayers can remove the water repellency from the canvas. Rinse very thoroughly and immediately. After washing and rinsing, let your tent dry thoroughly by stretching it out in the sun. Do not fold up your tent for storage while it is damp.

What is the best procedure for storing my tent?

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.

A Message From Our Owner, Rich

I live in a canvas tent six to seven weeks a year while hunting elk, deer, and bear in the 1 million acre Selway Idaho wilderness. The Wilderness tent is designed based on my 50 years of tenting experience. Our Wilderness tents and stoves have been used in severe Idaho weather and can be counted on.

Testimonials

You folks build one damn tough tent. I have had numerous canvas tents over the years. But no tent I have ever used compares to my 14x16 wilderness model. During the last eight years of Montana hunting, in sometimes extreme weather, this tent has been through every type of weather with no issues. Tough weather, high winds, snow storms, rain storms, hail storms, you name it. I am so impressed I had to email you to tell you that I am a very satisfied customer, William.

Love my 12 x 14 wilderness canvas tent. We have very high winds here at Lake Powell. Many of the other tents on the lake have been ripped apart during high winds. I have had no rips during the 6 years I have had my wilderness 12 x14 on my lake front property. What is more impressive is the tarp fly for the roof has held up solidly under strong wind conditions. I know you recommend removing flys during extreme winds. However, I have been remiss. So far, so good. Aaron, 7-15-26.
