Greetings,
I am preparing for my first week-plus long event this year (Pennsic), and was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some advice on tent buying.
I'm looking to get a new tent, something I can stay in at Pennsic and possibly at multi-evening weekend events, and something that is larger than my old modern nylon dome tent, which has proven to be abysmally small. I've had my eye on getting a canvas tent ever since my first SCA camping event last year and am now thinking of getting a wall tent, something in the 10x10 range, perhaps something a tiny bit larger (such as 10x12). I do lack a fair amount of knowledge on wall tents, and canvas tents in general, given that I've only seen them (from the inside and the outside), helped tear a few down, and stay in a few borrowed, one-person wedge tents years ago.
I'm wondering if a canvas wall tent might be good for one to two people to stay in at an event like Pennsic, or perhaps a few smaller long-weekend events, in which case I figure I may have to set up and tear down such a tent myself, depending on when I arrive and who I am camping with.
Any thoughts and/or suggestions?
