The Last Wall Tent You'll Ever Buy | ADVISOR INSIGHTS: White Duck Alpha Wall Tent

[@conservativeokie]

The mud flap should fold inward (to the inside) prior to staking, so if you put a thick floor tarp down, it will sit on top of the mud flap, creating a quasi seal, preventing water from being able to run into your tent. Instead, it will run underneath the mud flap and your floor tarp. Cheers mate! 👍🏼

[@cherylkitchen]

If you aren't using a floor tarp having the flap go outward sheds water away. You can cover the flap with soil or sand on the outside and the weight makes a great seal. This is southern/hot climate usage I've experienced, not cold climate usage.

[@frankscherping4432]

Partner, I have owned many wall tents over the years & I am able to completely set-up including putting on my oversized rain fly by myself. Did I fail to mention that my tent was 16'x21'x5' sidewalls. Oh yeah, B.T.W. I just turned 75 years young last month (June 1947).

[@justcallmemama91]

Have one and I find it hilarious how no one shows themselves taking it down and putting it back in that dam bag and I know now why that is.. it's it's because they CANT!! 🤣 you'll have to be hulk to do so 💀

[@lance3883]

They use press machines

[@helenachase5627]

Do you recommend it ?

[@GratefulOverlander]

It's not meant to be easy! Its designed for long term use and stability. I absolutely love mine and I live in it full time now

[@Liimpy]

@@GratefulOverlander you live in a tent full time?.. on your own land or just wherever?

[@Bht45467]

You’ll need a dewalt tote case. I ditched my bag and used tote case. Game changer… it’s sold at Home Depot

[@carolhewett3756]

The flexing bungees are a great idea. Reinforcing that area with weights will also help in high winds to stabilize the tent. And you need windows and fresh air even in winter.

[@huntinfool_official]

We were definitely impressed with how "overbuilt" the guy lines were.

[@ZenithBound]

Great video! Was in market for a hunting tent and this saved me hours and hours of researching different brand tents. My decision has been made simple thanks to your efforts. Thank you! Can handle the weight! Looks like that is about only negative

[@WhiteDuckOutdoors]

Can't wait for you to get your hands on it!

[@Zeitronaut]

Thanks for the video. I think maybe the flaps at the bottom are meant to be tucked under instead of staked out (Particularly if you are adding floor). I may be wrong but worth looking into.

[@Clintcellington]

It's called a sod flap. Traditionally you flap it out and bury it in dirt or snow to seal the bottom of the tent. In this case, they provided stakes instead. 😉

[@dopeheathen]

That looks like the ultimate wall tent. Well made and spacious.

[@MLSPlatforms]

What I’ve seen done which makes sense is to put a cross brace across the rafters, this stiffens up the rafters and you can hang lights and other things from them

[@KaareNorland]

Omg! Just went to their site and priced a 16x20. Take some advice and go to the wall tent shop in Moscow Idaho! Bought the same tent for almost half the price. If you only use it 4 weeks out of the year save yourself some money and spend the rest on a new rifle.

[@raymondpalacios3032]

I'm not surprised. I have a few large White Duck canvas tarps and they are badass. I won't ever buy anything else. I'm looking at buying one of their tents to include the access for a wood stove. Great video.

[@randygunn9499]

Walmarts got one for 400 bucks I got mine as a demonstrated one and paid 120 dollars . best tent ever! Me and my woman break it out on the wk end's in the back yard and it is fabulous! Don't know what it is but she gets real real fun out there in the wild!! lol.great tent.a great buy,

Looks good. Fire retardant canvas is how I would go. Bottom mud flaps are nice. Looks like you could put rocks on it and maybe shovel sand onto it to keep wind and rain out. Alot of floor options also.

[@luciagagliano24]

White duck makes smaller models which also have a floor which is great. The smaller models seem to have all these great features but not sure about the bungee flex on the guy lines

[@SJVA]

Thank you for the video. 🎥🎬

[@calista910]

Does this have a floor tarp that is automatically able to be removed or kept on I don’t want mice coming in

[@JanColdwater]

I wish I could win one w/ all the bells and whistles in a raffle or some contest. That would be such a great win!

[@DesertHeat12]

I wonder, if strategically tucked out of the elements, if this could be set up and left up year around as a sort of camp to come and go from on private property? Possibly add a weatherization spray to the outside? The area I am thinking of gets minimal snow or rain with mild winters and hot summers (high desert type area).

[@huntinfool_official]

My cousin lived out of one in Alaska for four months and was happy with it. The sun will likely be your biggest enemy against the canvas but I would guess you can get a few years out of it.

[@kskwerl64]

Hey brother would you mind mentioning the stove you use? Thank you!

Hi just wanted to say I loved the video lots on insight and a Wealth of information been considering buying a wall tent myself is there any other wall tent brands you would recommend checking out I look at Cabela's but there tents don't seem to be as well thought out as white duck

[@poodledaddles1091]

Just build a wood platform and place the tent on top of that off the ground and away from moist and snow and make a comfortable mini home complete with a bed, a living room space and a cooking area.

I would love to see them build a tent with a real type door and not just a huge zipper door that you have to unzip every time to get in.

[@user-ql2id3ml3i]

@Ivan Poohbear Love the door but I already have a 16X24 canvas wall tent. You think they'd just sell the door panel?

[@merrilldobson7062]

From camping in the heavy snow never buy a tent wider than 14'.

[@nobullshiit5682]

I dont like how low the side walls are and you dont get any large windows to look out while standing plus the price is quiet high compared to a new us military surplus wall tent .Im guessing they are not trying to compete with the military tents .

For living in would u recommend this or their bigger avalon bell tent for 2x space per dollar than the alpha

[@Amaterasu-wh6xj]

at what point does it stop being a tent and start being a building

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

Can you get taller ones?

[@gardnerellis2957]

It's a giant tent alright.....a "white elephant" for any serious camper. Too expensive, too big, too heavy, the frame is massive to try to transport. There is no floor, so it's susceptible to marauding rodents and since the sod cloth/mud flap can't be tucked inside...there is no way to have a sealed floor by adding a ground cloth. The tent is too high, when cold weather hits, most of the heat from a wood stove will rise and radiant through the ceiling. It would take an enormous amount of wood to heat; if two stoves are needed as mentioned...forget it. If a group is that large, then much more practical to have two smaller wall tents with two smaller stoves. Then one has the choice of just using one tent, if a smaller group dictates. I've used a 10'x12' floored wall tent with an attached 10'x10' cook "shack" for twenty years. I'd take my tent system over this any day. Happy camping!

[@WhiteDuckOutdoors]

We provide a floor with the tent, it's up to you if you want to use it! We have sizes from 8'x10' up to 16'x24', but all of them are engineered to survive.

[@dannyaquatics]

do they make a water sealed floor for this model.

[@huntinfool_official]

I don't believe so no, but the floor folds up around the edges.

[@luciagagliano24]

I think there are smaller models that have a nice sealed floor as well as the outer flaps that wick water and snow away from the tent

[@noahriding5780]

[@floydvaughn836]

@@AngelPerez-jm3yg 400.00 sounds like the Ozark Trail from Wal Mart. 5 out of 5 positive reviews that I've seen. It's made of rip stop nylon, like a G.I. poncho. What you get for 2000.00 is durability over the long haul. Canvas, unlike nylon, is more U.V. resistant and better for a long term set up. Also more resistant to tearing and creasing. Better for moving a lot. LOL, one gets what one is willing or able to pay for. The cheaper tent would best be augmented by an overtarp, or 2 for U.V. protection if you want to set up for more than 3 days. Have a Goodn.

Nothing special about that tent and there are much better. FYI, the entrance is certainly not the best since you need to push aside the flaps. good tents have a better entrance allowing you to get inside easily and it makes a huge difference when you need to bring gear inside. Also, the windows... triangular?? That's obviously to save money. Same thing with the very cheap screen. Good tents will use a no-see-hum mesh. So please, stop saying "they spare no expense" because there's nothing so special with that "mess tent". In fact, it lacks many features the others have. Like side pockets, etc... The only cool thing about that tent is the foot of the lower tubes and that's it.
