Canvas tent camp for this fall's hunts

Forgot to mention.....Like the idea of leaving branches on your center pole.Can't have enough places to hang things.It's always good to have extra tarps and rope....ha ha.
The only draw back of using a tipi is hauling the poles,but with a little ingenuity 22 to 23 foot poles for a 14' tipi can be hauled on the rack of the truck legally.The larger the tipi the longer the poles.

Brian - Enjoyed the Video. I was amazed, that My Camping set-up is almost identical. Been using Panther for years, can't say enough about the quality of Thier products ! Only difference, My Hunter Tent (12x12) I got the extra Door and the Awning that attaches over the Door. For a Cook Shack, I use a Baker Lean-to. Hope You have a Bountiful Fall - Bob.

Pappy:
Nice set up, love it.  :) My set up is not quite that primitive.  ;)

Brian, my camp is also very similar to yours, I have the same 12X12 Pyramid tent from Panther and also really hate the door and I am thinking about some how changing mine to a tipi style door. I have a 2 dog stove for rough winter and will dry all my mittens and soxs on the ole one pole with limb stubs. Stayed a week in deep winter bobcat trapping and lived like kings , frosting on the cake got a cat also, had a wonderful camping trip too, Your kitchen area looks great nice set up. Later Bob  :-T ;D

One time along with a few other times I spent a tenuous time with a dozen others from our club by a little town.Our buckskinning club would donate a multiple set up camp for towns' yearly celebrations.The club would get paid by the town but members would donate our time to show them a primitive camp.
Had my spring valley tipi set up there then.A tornado came by within a 1/4 mile of us late in the day while it was light yet so we could see it.It was touching down off and on.We could see by the direction of travel of the tornado it was going to go by and just miss us.Sure glad I had my center rope staked down.The tipi vibrated but stood like an oak through it all.I heard from the locals that an 1.5" of rain fell in about an hour then.We stayed nice and dry through it all.
Been through some bad windy thunderstorms at night with my tipis.Wall tents in the lower limbs of trees in the morning.One storm early after dark I had my tipi filled with about 8 other campers till the storm got by.We all stayed dry as a bone again.
