Tentage on this years hunt(s)…

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 08 31, 2022 •  [Post 1]

So campers, what tentage will you be deploying this year. I’m always interested in what my fellow hunters feel are good enough tents to take on our all important fall hunting trips. Base, bivy, spike domiciles…you get the picture. Tell us about your pending home away from home enclosures.

I've used my ultralight 2 man tent already a couple times this year. May or may not pull it back out on my future trips depending on weather conditions. We'll for sure be using my 4 man teepee w/ stove and our wall tent coming up in a month+ on my Idaho elk hunt. My Dad has used his Luxe Minipeak XL a couple times on our backpacking trips to get the feel of it. I'm sure he'll be packing it along in Idaho as well.

I'm rocking the cabela's 6-man Alakan Guide Tent. First year using it but easy to set up and plenty of room for 2 hunters. It is 6' 2" inside so I like that I can stand up completely!
Is "tentage" a word?

I stand corrected....... Definition of tentage

: a collection of tents : tent equipment.
