@rickeystuddard I can't suggest the Ape Canyon Outfitters enough, they do great work and it's an awesome company to do business with.

You should definitely try one.

@michaelschnitzer4054 awesome! You liking it? I have been shooting mine for 5 or 6 seasons.

You will have to cam it over on a flat part. I usually try the "top" of the platform.

The question was where did you buy the strap?​@@publiclandadventures

Sorry for the delay, it came with the platform. But you can buy them from here: doublesteps.com/

They are an ocb strap

Pitboss recommendations are to open all the way. Thanks for watching, please like, share, and subscribe.

Thanks! @@publiclandadventures

Sorry for the delay. I literally just got done using it this weekend. It is better, but I may try and cut the ends down that are attached to the tent as well. It will be a little bit until I get out again to try it out so please be patient. Thanks for watching, please like share and subscribe.

Hey, thanks for watching. The boots are the muddy alpha mid by lacrosse. They are definitely worth having in the arsenal in my opinion. I do have a review video on my page just for them. Please like subscribe and share.

Put the steps on your pursuit strap. Then it’s all on the same strap

Thanks for watching. The steps are definitely on the same strap. Did my first hunt with the setup last night. Worked out pretty good. Please like share and subscribe.

Any luck?

@@AllenFirewoodllc-ut1uh not bad! Enjoy your take!

I definitely could but with the buddy heater there is no need. I appreciate the suggestion. Thanks for watching. Please like share and subscribe. And please enjoy the outdoors!

@@publiclandadventures oh, I thought you were using an electric space heater.

@@carol43ish I tried one and moved past that. Maybe I should do a video about my current setup....

I had thought about it but I noticed when using my tent that I barely ever used all the travel in the wall post. That is why I cut off the poles. Thanks for watching please like share and subscribe.

Thanks, obviously I have an older version so maybe it's just something with them? Thank for watching! Please like share and subscribe.

That model wasn't even available when I purchased the 10x12, otherwise I would have went with it. Thanks for watching, please like share and subscribe!

@@publiclandadventures That, and it was over $600 until very recently. I didn't have a new tent in the plans for this year, but I may have to now... 200 square feet of wall tent space for $450??? Might be too hard to pass up!

Agreed! I will have a tip to make using the wall tent much easier.

As soon as I get time to do it. Lol

God speed! Let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching please like share and subscribe.

Yeah that's my favorite recipe. I generally keep the same base ingredients but I play with it for different flavor.

I would be interested to know what material you would use? I have been trying to figure out how to make an awning that matches the tent and just run a tarp over both the tent and awning.

The poles on this tent are all steel poles. The welds were my only concern on this tent. Thanks for watching! Please like share and subscribe!

I will trade you hunting spots! Lol

@@publiclandadventures we finally got some snow. Did yah get on Some deer?

@@TurnRocks negative didn't see anything

That's not true, I have used them for hunting plenty, you just have to know when to use them and when not to use them.

@@publiclandadventures when to use them is determined by temperature you made my point valid either way if its super cold you have to keep moving if its warmer outside you obviously can sit still and be ok.

Thanks for watching! It's really not bad to setup, I will have another mod that I am doing to make it even easier to setup. I can usually setup by myself in roughly a half hour. As for the bigger tent I really don't have any experience with it. But in my opinion it would be harder to find a good spot with it being so long. If only the had a 16' version. Again thanks for watching, please like share and subscribe!

@@publiclandadventures yeah I think you’re right. My Coleman weather master is 17 feet long so I figured a couple extra feet might be ok. Hey would 2 queen air beds fit in your tent? With clothing?

My current Coleman is 17 feet but it’s angled low at the ends and it’s not all that much room because of that

I currently can get a queen and 3 single person cots in mine, but I would say 2 Queens would fit fine.

That being said I use the Coleman queen cot. I like cots because you can store stuff under them.

It truly is a nice tent. I will be using mine next weekend!

If you think that looks delicious you should check out the smoked venison meatloaf and the hunters favorite pie!

I might have to use that one on a shirt!

Thanks for the information. I haven't hunted Kentucky yet, so it will be a learning curve!

⚫Ozark Trail North Fork 12' x 10' Wall Tent with Stove Jack Single-layer luxury outfitter tent with heavy-duty ripstop polyester canvas-like fabric, this is per the description on Walmart.com. I hope that helps. It is very durable, in my opinion.

I would do my best to keep food out of the tent and in storage totes to deter mouse invasion. As far as the tent closing. There is Velcro on the bottom where the doors overlap. There are also stake down points on the screen door. I always wait to stake them down until after I have my things in the tent. Thanks for watching. Please like share and subscribe. And good luck with your adventure in your new tent

Thanks so much for the reply. That helps big time knowing this. I find it kinda odd No one has talked about the lack of seal to the tent. I’ve lived deep in nature for a long time it doesnt take much for mice to get in even without food. Also, super curious about even if it keeps mosquitos out. I think it’s important people know this cause every review on this tent doesn’t talk about it. I actually bought it without knowing. Personally I wished I knew I probably wouldn’t have bought it. It’s something that’s important to me. Thanks again for the quick reply!

I had mine set up 6 months at our Deer Lease.The doors seal good, never had any problems with Critters getting in.

That’s deceiving to say it seals up good. It doesn’t. There are random small strips of Velcro holding the floor to the wall together and entry way does not have Velcro all the way across. I live deep in nature & do not eat food in my tent or cook in it. All sorts of insects were coming in….. for anyone watching that wants to know this tent is not air sealed tight whatsoever. I poly tuck taped the whole bottom to keep it air tight for heat & insects coming in. I don’t know how it will go removing the tape but at the rate insects were coming in I didn’t care. I’ll take my time to remove it when i leave this spot after some months. I’ve heard people buying more Velcro strips too. I did do this with the entry way (gets expensive where I live though for this tape) anyways with this tuct tape it worked great! Not all tape will work though….I tried a variety this one is vapor barrier tuck tape worked really good & seems to come off easily but you have ti be gentle. I wished I would have seen a comment like this it would of helped me! So sharing for anyone who runs into this problem. I’d say it’s the only shitty thing about this tent! Otherwise I love it

Thanks for the input! I have never used it in deep nature. I am usually at primitive campgrounds. I haven't had many problems with bugs, or critters. But that is why I like this input!

Welcome to the club! I haven't made a decision yet. Lol there are so many options. Been trying to figure out what will be best.

1. A milk house heater with a generator 2. Coleman catalytic heaters. They're old school . Get used on ebay. 3. Origo heat pal or two. All three are dry heat. Forget about propane. It will literally rain inside the tent if it gets below around 20F if you use a buddy heater. I know. I've tried

That is exactly what I envisioned when I got this tent. I love mine ! Thanks for the excellent experience and thanks for watching! Please feel free to like share and subscribe.

So far I have not had an issue. However here in the next couple months I will put my own water proofing on it. Just because I would rather be proactive than reactive. Thanks so much for watching please feel free to like share and subscribe!

Mine never leaked not once and had many rain storms. The Ice Storm we had collapsed the wall poles.. never had any issue with snow.

No it didn't leak, camped in the rain and snow. I am however going to treat it this spring. Thanks for watching. Please like share and subscribe.

@@publiclandadventures Thanks for the info. I'll have to 're-calibrate' my opinion about where JB Weld is applicable. Since viewing your video, I've read a bunch of reviews. It generally gets high marks, but pole strength is a fairly common complaint. My guess is it has a lot to do with the stresses incurred during tent setup and teardown. Maybe some pulleys, straps, or tripod to ease assembly would be good.

Your welcome! That means a lot to me!

Thanks, didn't know that. It just seems to me like there should be something there. Thanks for watching! Any and all feedback is welcome.

Thanks for watching and thank you for the kind words. Please feel free to share and subscribe. Again thanks for watching.

Never had a treager. I bought the pit boss based on price point and being entry level. Should have bought a pellet grill a few years ago. If you have tried both please feel free to give your opinion.

About the only thing I don't like is that if you're pants legs get wet, the water leaches in to the boot via the socks.

Thank you for the kind words. The pellets I use are the hickory from pit boss. I think they are under 20$ for a 40# bag. The pellet grill I have is the pit boss 820 xl from Menards. I tinker with the recipe a lot. I have made it with beef and venison. All in all from the pellets to the ingredients I would only have maybe 20$ in a batch. The 40# of pellets last at least 3 long smokes ( 4-6 hours)

@@publiclandadventures Thank you so much for your fast reply... This really helps me to decide. That's good to know. Because one of these days I'm going to buy my own Pit Boss... Do my own Beef Jerky! BAHAHAHAHA

I really like the pit boss 820 xl, it's the perfect size for my family of 4. I have cooked 3 8 pound pork butts on it which was the most I can fit on it. My reply was a little delayed due to other obligations in an area without service. Please feel free to share this and any other video's you might like.

Question brotha I'll be making deer jerky this weekend do I have to wait till it hits 160 to put it in p3 mode?

You will want to use whichever ever "p'" setting you need to maintain the 160°. Give it a good half hour to adjust. If you are below 160° I would not be worried about throwing your meat on, adversely if you are over 160° I would let it settle down until throwing the meat on. Hopefully this helps. Enjoy your quality jerky! That's the real trophy of deer hunting. Thanks for watching please like share and subscribe.

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video. I am currently coming up on mine months with the boots and they still look and perform like new. It is definitely worth the time to clean and oil them regularly.
