[@ontariooutdooradventures2779]

I know this video was from 4 years ago, however what is the manufacturer and size of this canvas tent?? Looks awesome 👍

[@michellelaclair]

did you ever find out? i want to know too

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Way to go guys! Success! That's a great tent T. Should serve you well for quite some time. I like the white roof...plenty of light, and no reason to "sleep in" when your out in the woods!

[@SpiritForest]

yes.. I love it. Thanks!

[@nepar681]

I just discovered your channel! Thanks for sharing this, It gives me hope because I'm currently homeless, living in my truck, I'm parking in a state forest at night, I'm just hoping to survive the Michigan winter. Lol..

[@SpiritForest]

I hope you stay warm.. Hope you have the right gear... maybe drive south.

[@christopherpurnell8475]

It's grrrrrrrreat! I'm doing the same; a military tent framed with a woodstove. I was going to stay in it while I "try" to build a cabin but they seem like when they are framed and covered they are nice en o ugh. Grrrrrreat vid. Ur little pricesses are beautiful. These are great times to look back on and share. P.S. Somebody get ole Sam a 🍺. Gods speed!

[@lisasauers8724]

So awesome!!! It is going to be a fun summer!

[@SpiritForest]

[@SpiritForest]

Thank you Comal Cat

[@treeclimbing7798]

What a great idea. Luv it and thinking of doing the same. 🙂

[@markwallingford3252]

Guess i kinda watched these backwards but all good.. I was gone for a week myself on fishing trip to Quebec Canada love it there .. As you i also have land there ...

[@SpiritForest]

haha! Did you catch anything? A week long in the woods.. sounds GREAT!

[@markwallingford3252]

Yeah got lots of Pike ...

[@markwallingford3252]

I spend 3 months there in the fall from October to Dec, 24th come home for x-mas ...

[@realtruth529]

Love your vidios. All I wanna know which tent it is ???? Who sell these kinds of tents ? It so nice looking ! I thinking buying some near forest and lakes one day too and live in summers there. You inspire ! Thank you !

[@joeynighttrain1126]

Killer setup ... Nothin like a canvas tent! Cool kids too .. No whiners .. They're just like you ✨

[@SpiritForest]

Awesome comment Joey.. thank you! It has been a lot of fun.

[@Paul-rg4is]

What kind of tent is that? How is it working out?

[@carolinegray5297]

Nice tent

[@susanpratt4061]

Hi Sam!🖐🏻

[@bzybzb5864]

Why did u chose canvas? Curiosity thanks. I love what u did its beautiful!!

[@SpiritForest]

I have gone on a survival camp in Northern California.. They had a canvas tent. I was amazed at how warm it was inside the tent. Felt it was a good match for the goals I have for the land. Happy with my decision.

[@drjohnwills]

Ha ha seems like your the one doing all the work. You might need a good guy to do all the work while you sit in a recliner sipping cool wine and giving directions. Johann

[@SpiritForest]

haha!!

[@dannycook8212]

Did your mom by chance work at the Home Depot in Aurora? If she did I used to work with her!

[@SpiritForest]

Yes she did Danny! :)

[@carolinegray5297]

Hello to your mum

[@SpiritForest]

I was happy she came for a visit.

[@deangilbert8201]

Beautiful set up but your main joists should sit on top of your support poles not be bolted to them. Just sayin LOL> Lasts longer and safer that way.

[@SpiritForest]

Thanks for watching. They do sit on the poles. ;)

[@AColoHi]

So you forgot to watch the instruction video provided with the tent,eh? Makes for a more fun video anyways. Looks great but I have never seen such a design before, outside frame. Don't remember alcohol giving you the sneezes before.

[@SpiritForest]

They really didn't give much instructions.. So it was a figure it out as you go. LOL yes, sometimes I edit out my sneezes, and only happens about 80% of the time. haha!!

[@bjgigout9832]

How did you decide on the name of your property?

[@SpiritForest]

I will have to do a video on that. ;)

[@bjgigout9832]

Spirit Forest Yes, please do! Thank you.

[@mikef.2316]

What size tent is that?

[@SpiritForest]

16'x14' with an 8' deck

[@madeinmichigan6773]

Spirit Forest I love your tent. You know if you drill pilot holes in the beams you can use hooks and lights or anything frome them. Where did you buy your tent from? Could you list the items that are cool in the description box to go with the video the product is in? It would be so nice to shop where you do when we see cool items to make our camping experience as nice as yours 😊 thank you.

[@lorrainerobichaud1438]

you dot nice children

[@claramullen]

4x4 poles would be better

[@SpiritForest]

4x4 poles wouldn't fit through the holes at the top. Thanks for watching.
