Have you ever stayed in a large canvas tent like this? Would you?

I lived in one during covid in the woods at the back of the care home I worked at for 18 months loved it.

I absolutely LOVE the wooden platform. It would make all the difference to me. In fact - I wouldn't want a tent without it. Very nice!

Don't know where you all live or where your property is located, but I find it almost unbelievable that you can leave that entire camp set up and it is still there whenever you come back. Almost any place I've ever been or lived, [[ at least since the 1960's ]] your tent and camp would be either long gone ( taken ) or destroyed when you came back to it.

I once got a 2 bedroom tent, set it up on pallets with plywood over them, then hung a huge tarp over the entire thing. The tarp was attached to trees, and never touched the tent. It withstood thunder and lightening stores and lasted till I took it down!

As an older guy I remember camping in a large canvas tent in the 60's as a boy. Your tent reminds me of those wonderful times. Having it off the ground is a huge plus. With the furnishings and sun filtering through the canvas it's so inviting and relaxing. You son will have great adventures there.

Had a friend who built a wigwam out of sheets he got from thrift store and painted them with paint also from a recycling depot set it up at a fishing spot and it lasted the whole season But unfortunately the next season a bear or vandals destroyed it but it was warm and dry and was fun holiday

I have had a couple of these. I like them but- check all your knots. I suggest using Tec screws to fix the poles together as during strong wind they can bounce apart and will rip the canvas. An external rain cover and porch is a good long term idea and an inner liner not only looks nice but helps trap air movement proving a tiny bit of insulation. We have a4door for more height with stove and fixed the chimney as well.

I found your video while searching for reviews on another tent. Super happy I did! You answered some questions I knew we’d need to address. -Like how to guy out the tent in a smaller space on a platform. Some really smart solutions here. Thanks for sharing!

love seeing young people taking advantage of they're time as they travel around the sun...good for your young family.

Oh wow. This looks amazing! Well done!

It looks FABULOUS!! Wow!! Love it!

Thank You ,Beautiful and to the point!! Soo helpful information and listing the price was a plus.

you don't have to stick build to have a cabin. If you reinforce the poles you can cover the exterior with spray foam and wait for it to cure then spray a layer of shotcrete over that. Instant permanent structure.

I've got a 13 foot one going to set it up tomorrow clad I got to watch the video you made

Love this video! ❤ We're just about to invest in some bell tents for our land and this has been inspiring.

Just a warning to anyone thinking about buying one of these. Bought the same tent. We had to return it. We woke up to a small lake in the tent after the first rainfall. Definitely needs to be set up under a huge tarp canopy if you intend on leaving it set up for any length of time.

Cool video! Your son is so cute!! I want one. :) I was just gonna ask about the deck and then, I saw the link at the end. Thanks!!

You can Airbnb the tent when you get a house too ❤❤❤❤ beautiful set up! Looks cozy!

Love it! but how come you guys haven't updated in a long time🤔 looking forward to your new videos!❤

That's a beautiful son and wife you have there man, lucky you guys, such an awesome place.

What a beautiful setting !

Great idea I see the advantage of having the walls be higher so you can put seating and beds closer to the walls.

You'll want a vestibule at the entrance for when it's raining to keep the inside dry.

beautiful, mate!

Cool idea!

Thank you for the inspiration.

This is extremely cool!

Thank you for sharing.

Wow that awesome!! Love camping too❤🙌🏻

Lovely set up. Beautiful

I love this!

Awesome!!! ❤❤

Citizen canvas is good for bell, I tend to look to The Canvas Tent Shop (also in Canada) at their sidewalls.

We have the emporer bell tent and it’s amazing

Beautiful!

She looks so happy

Cute set up! And cute little Bub too!🎖🎖🎖😎😎😎🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful home!

Hello, any trouble with tree sap? Great setup looks brilliant.

Love the kitchenette. And love the tent, unfortunately I am the only one in my family who likes the tent idea.

This is literally the estate I want :) Sub'd I bet thermal managements is great. If maskitos are bad I would make a air lock room(cant remember what its called)as a pre room before entrance.

Thanks mate

Awesome mate, cheers from Australia

Hv been seriously thinking of doing one of these on our property as a guest cottage on our lake as our A frame is so tiny. Hv been looking at a Star Gazer type . Thanks fr the info 🎉

Love it

very cool. thank you.

I’m Considering a similar setup. Where abouts are you located ? Do you get a lot of snow ? Personally thinking if I go this route I would add a floating triangle “awning” to extend the tents shelf life.

Okay. So a new season is in the making. Has your tent held up over time? More importantly, are you experiencing mold issues with this tent? Thanks.

This looks awesome- i need something to live in while i build a tiny house. My question is how did you build your foundation? Thanks

That is a very nice tent !!!

I honestly prefer sidewalls to bell tents. because of the wood, or steel frame, sidewalls are really rugged in bad weather, heavy snow loading and such. next rounded yurts and bell tents.. are harder to divide off inside, as they are... well.. circles. a side wall tent you can very simply drop in dividers to make rooms, and you don't have rounded walls, as well as the sidewall roof and walls make great ancoring points for dividers where the bell tents only have the center pole. you can add in real doors and windows into a sidewall tent, building a wall that may be part of or may be attached to the frame. then you can build windows and put in a door,. when you want, you pull back the outer canvas so you have access to the door and windows can see outside. but if you need to, due to bad storm, serious cold weather, you can bring the end canvas over the windows and door, then seal it up from inside. it can also give you a very "sturdy" mounting point for stove pipes... so they aren't being blown around as much by high winds.

Looks great. Where is that and where can you do it legally??

Cool!

So Beautiful Amazing❤

I think its beautiful! ❣ But, the two things I would be concerned about is security against unwanted intruders (people and bears). It wouldn't protect you against either of those.

Home is where the heart is! Xxx

Hi l enyoyed your video. We are thinking of going off grid and wanted to find out where we can get the equipment you have.

Cool!!!

I took Boy Scouts to Summer Camp for 26 years. We bought 2 of these for us leaders. They sucked. No head room to get dresses except in the center. We ended up with two cabin style canvas tents, much more accommodating.

Cool video

Nice video! Would you worry about snow ? The step pitch of the roof seems like it wouldn't be a problem

hey man i love the chairs, where did you buy them, or did you build? I'd love to try to build chairs like those

How much is the cost of tent

How secure is the center pole? What keeps it stable if you bump into it?

Pretty nice setup but I'm worried about condensation on the inside of the canvas. Hopefully, it won't be a problem.

Cool idea, but it wouldn't have hurt to make the platform a little longer and have a nice porch. A place for an outdoor chair or long seat and a place for a small grill. Regardless, I love the concept and the idea is great keeping yourself off the damp earth and out of rain water.

Bear proof?

How will you prevent the canvass from getting molds.?

My brother live in a tent year around in Coldbay Alaska. Till it blow away .

It looks like a copy of the US Army 10 man arctic tent, with modern details.

How did your tent weather the winter?

do you ever wash the tent any mold issues or tips you would recommend?

I had this tent. It collapsed during winter. I rebuilt the center pole out of 10cm timber.

OMG are you the voice actor for the warden on SUPERJAIL? I'm too lazy to look it up but bruh, my man, I mean WOW, spot-on. It IS you, isn't it?

Is the tent waterproof ? I'm worried about camera gear and other equipment

I have helped set up one of these in S/E Australia. We used sealed ply wood as the flooring very similar to your set up, I see you used decking timber. The problem occuring now is rain water pooling between the deck floor and the base of the tent. Have you had this same problem?

If I had the money. Currently homeless here in Northwest Indiana. With the cold months comming up this tent with a stove would be such a blessing for me and my emotional support animal.

In Ma building code would never allow this to happen. Its really sad how they have mandated you spend almost half a million dollars to live.

Waterproof ?? Or needs another poly tarp for water ?

Awesome setup , I want to buy one!

do they make a regular door?

I'm curious in what part of the country you can leave a set up like that and not get it vandalized in a week.

I'd like to know what your running cost breakdown for all this is.

Very nice! But, the number one thing some people ask is why not build it first, before all the other projects?

Hi but how do you lock it I saw 1 tent the had a lock on it thanks

Canvas Bells are NOT permanent. In Calif I tried to stay in a 'permanent' Bell only to find that mice had chewer through the side-walls and set up home inside. I love my 5-m Bell but it is NOT permanent. Only long term camping.

I need land would do the same thing.

beautiful job....I'd worry about thieves however....such is our human race...God bless.

Wow. It's beautiful. What about animals??? Bears, porcupines?? Won't they love your fridge and contents??

How does it hold up with wind and rain?

Plus rem nya pasang juga

So how's this tent going 4 months on I'm interested to know does it hold up to bad weather any signs of mould etc being left out permanently

permanant permeant, now you've got almost all the keywords, maybe Permanent would be a good one to toss in there somewhere too :P

Cost?

With something like this, what happens if your kid knocks into the center pole while playing around? Does the whole thing fall down?

Niiiiiiiiiice👍👍👍🤪

Nah gini tambahkan glider roda besar di bawah yg bisa pasang tempel

When you have that kind of help, it's fine if it takes a little longer. I can't wait until ours is old enough to "help".
