What is an outfitter tent?

An outfitter tent is a type of tent designed for use by outfitters, guides, and individuals involved in outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, or backcountry expeditions. These tents are often characterized by their durability, spaciousness, and ability to withstand various weather conditions. Outfitter tents are typically larger than standard camping tents and are suitable for extended trips, group camping, or base camps. Here are some features and characteristics commonly associated with outfitter canvas tents: Canvas Material: Montana Canvas tents are constructed from a robust and durable canvas material, often a cotton or cotton-blend fabric. This material provides durability, breathability, and natural insulation. Weather Resistance: The canvas is treated with waterproofing agents to make the tent resistant to rain and moisture, ensuring a dry and comfortable interior during adverse weather conditions. Size and Capacity: Montana wall tents are larger than standard camping tents, offering ample space for multiple occupants, gear, and equipment. They come in various sizes to accommodate different group sizes, ranging from smaller models suitable for a few people to larger Montana Canvas wall tents designed for group camping or outfitter operations. Frame Construction: Canvas tents typically have a sturdy frame made of metal poles. This frame provides structural stability and ensures the tent can withstand wind and other environmental factors. Setup: While larger than standard tents, outfitter tents are designed for relatively easy setup, often featuring color-coded frame parts or labeled components for a straightforward assembly process. Ventilation: These tents often have adjustable ventilation options, such as windows with mesh screens and ventilation flaps, to regulate airflow and reduce condensation inside the tent. Doors: Montana Canvas tents can have multiple doors, providing convenient access points and improving overall accessibility. Floor Design: The tent floor is made of a durable material to withstand heavy use and resist wear and tear. Additional Features: Interior storage pockets/pouches are often available for purchase to help keep the tent organized. Some outfitter tents come with the option of an integrated awning or vestibule to provide additional covered space outside the main entrance for storage or activities. Portability: While larger and heavier than typical camping tents, Montana wall tents are designed to be portable and are often transported to the camping or expedition site using vehicles. Versatility: Montana Canvas wall tents are versatile and suitable for various outdoor activities, including hunting, camping, guiding, and extended backcountry expeditions. Montana Canvas tents are favored by those who need a durable and spacious shelter for group camping or prolonged outdoor stays. Their rugged construction and ample space make them well-suited for outfitters, guides, and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize durability and comfort in their camping equipment.

What is the lead time / shipping time frame?

Standard shipping time for Montana Canvas wall tents is approximately 4-6 weeks. During the winter months, shipping time can be approximately 5-6 weeks. During late summer and fall, shipping time can be approximately 4-5 weeks after ordering. Determine your requirements early.

Are frames available?

Yes. Frames are made of aluminum. Customers can custom-order frames if necessary. Areas with heavy snow loads may require additional rafters.

What is best, 10 oz or 12 oz canvas?

For normal camping or hunting, most customers only need 10 oz canvas. If a customer needs heavy-duty, top-quality canvas, 12 oz Montana wall tents are recommended.

What type of treatment is applied to the canvas?

Paraffin wax treatment. It is a very effective treatment to make the canvas waterproof. The wax also adds strength and durability to Montana Canvas tents. Its only drawback is that it is much heavier than other water treatments, a 10-15 % weight increase.

GENERAL INFORMATION

MONTANA CANVAS SIDEWALL SEAMS: All 10 oz. canvas tents have 5' seams, 12 oz. canvas tents have 4' seams and blend tents only have seams at the edges/corners.

REAR WINDOW: Rear tent window, if ordered, will be slightly off center to the left, looking at the window from inside the outfitters tent. Window off center to the left is to avoid the seam. Bottom of window is 4' 6" from bottom of tent.

RAIN FLY: Stove jack area is zippered and reinforced with webbing. Relite material- 100% UV protection. Includes ropes, tensioners, stakes/spikes. A rain fly protects the canvas from ultra violet rays, provides another moisture barrier, keeps the canvas roof clean by preventing sap, pitch and dirt from accumulating on the roof when the tent is set up near trees. And most importantly, the fly protects the tent roof from any stove sparks that might land on the canvas which will burn pin holes in the roof.
The fly is an absolute necessity if you have a relite tent with the relite roof. Sparks from the stovepipe will quickly burn pin holes in the roof resulting in leaks.
The fly should rest on the outfitter tent ridge and have a 4-6 inch air gap between the fly and the eave.

YOU HAVE 3 OPTIONS ON MOST FLOOR SIZES FOR FLOORS.

A Montana 10 oz white vinyl sewn in floor or a Montana 10 oz vinyl stake in floor. Both the Montana sewn in floor and stake in floor have a 5' x 5' cut out on the left front corner as you enter the tent.<

Relite Floor. Sewn in or stake in.

Another floor option is a heavier duty wilderness 18 oz vinyl with no cutout. I prefer a continuous floor, not a cut out. The cut out allows water and bugs in to your tent. Rich

You can select floor options above.

For non sewn in floors, a relite or vinyl stake in floor can be ordered.

RELITE FLOORS: Relite floors are thin and there is a strong possibility of floor punctures when stepping on sharp objects such as rocks, pieces of branches, etc, that are under the outfitter tent floor area. CLICK to view additional information.

TESTIMONIALS

Received my second Montana Canvas outfitter tent. Cut the metal tubing for the frame and set it up. Looks great. I know it will be great during camping based on using my 12 x 14 in the past. For elk camp this year I will set up the 12 x 14 right in front of the 14 x 17 and use the 12 x 14 for cooking and the 14 x 17 for living quarters. I know it will be comfortable setup and easy living with your wilderness stove. I am an experienced camper and the tents are great. Jim

Thanks Tyler. Just completed my purchase. Thanks for making this purchase so easy with all your guidance and recommendations. Brian

Tent arrived on time today. I unpacked it and built my frame using your angle kit. Very easy. Nice tent. Thank you. Warren

I have had my Montana Canvas Tent for 10 years. I bought the tent, angles, fly, floor and Yukon 3 stove. We have used it 10 to 15 times a year and we have not had any problems. I have used it in raging snow storms and rain storms ( we live in western Washington. The Yukon 3 stove works really well. In the summer my wife calls the tent our "hotel room".
