NOTE: Fire 10 x 12 with Front Screen Door, side windows and back window. Different features than standard wilderness tent. See photos below.

THE 10 X 12 FIRE TREATED TENT WITH FRONT SCREEN DOOR HAS THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS TO OUR STANDARD WILDERNESS TENTS.

Photos of modifications are at top of page in photo section of our standard wilderness tents. Modification photos are at the end.

Front door has an inverted /upside down T door zipper. This allows one side of the door to open while the other side remains totally closed. In this manner, the tent sod cloth stays in place on both sides of the door. Especially beneficial if a stake in floor is used. Water and bugs cannot enter under the front of the tent as the sod cloth remains in place when the tent doors are open.

No vinyl corners. Reinforced canvas corners.

Adjustable heavy straps instead of stake loops around the bottom of the tent. Adjustable straps allow tightening the stake loop as necessary instead of repositioning the stake. Adjustable straps are very beneficial if tent is to be used on a platform. If requested, we will provide corresponding buckles to secure tent to platform.

Storm flap door buckles are metal with adjustable straps to secure storm storm flap. It should be noted that the storm flap is a free feature that protects the door zipper from rain and ice.

Back window is a 35" triangle with screen.

WILDERNESS CANVAS IS ARMY DUCK - DOUBLE FILL. The highest quality canvas made.

Canvas is made by weaving threads together, crosswise and lengthwise. The Army Duck canvas has 2 threads twisted together making 1 thread. These double twisted threads are woven into the canvas going both crosswise and lengthwise. Twisting 2 threads together into 1 makes Army Duck canvas stronger more durable and also allows the canvas to breath better.

A 10.1 oz Army Duck wall tents are just as strong as a 12 oz Dual Fill.

WILDERNESS GLAMPING TENTS ARE THE TOUGHEST AND STRONGEST TENTS AVAILABLE.

Double layer of canvas on ridge. Eaves reinforced with webbing. Steel D rings on eaves instead of grommets. NO OTHER TENT HAS THIS ADDITIONAL REINFORCEMENT.

TENT FRAME ANGLE KITS DO NOT INCLUDE FRAME POLES

6' SIDE WALL OPTION

6' side walls provide much more headroom and usable tent space. 6' walls allows a person to get next to a wall without hitting your head against rafters or canvas roof.
Some companies only have 4'7" sidewalls which severely restricts how much space you can actually use.
Strongly recommend you ask your suppliers the finished height of side walls before purchasing so you will not be surprised or disappointed upon delivery.
6 Foot option only available on FIRE, water and mildew treated tents.

See ANGLE KITS for information on how to easily build a tent frame from steel conduit.

PURCHASING TENT FRAME ANGLE KITS and then purchasing 1” inside diameter, galvanized steel electrical conduit at any hardware store is the most economical approach to purchasing a frame. Normal savings $250-$450 depending on the size of canvas tent and frame.

ANGLES THAT ACCOMMODATE 3/4" STEEL CONDUIT ARE NOT RECOMMENDED. 3/4" conduit weighs about half as much as 1" conduit. Consequently, it is only about half as strong as 1" conduit and can't take much of a snow load.

CUT LIST WILL BE PROVIDED FOR CUTTING STEEL CONDUIT FOR FRAME.

WILDERNESS TENT AND ANGLE KIT special includes the tent and either a 3 rafter, 4 rafter or 5 rafter angle kit depending upon size of tent ordered.

Making a tent frame using steel conduit takes 60-90 minutes depending on size of your tent. Steel conduit is readily available at all hardware stores including Home Depot and Lowes. Only tool required is a hack saw or pipe cutter. All power tools that cut metal will also work.

ANGLE KIT UPGRADE RECOMMENDATIONS

12 x14. 4 Rafter angle kit vs standard 3 rafter. RIDGE SUPPORT. When you use a 3 rafter angle kit there will only be 1 rafter in the middle of the frame supporting the entire roof. A 4 rafter angle kit has 2 rafters evenly spaced in the middle of the frame supporting the roof. You get twice the roof support with a 4 rafter angle kit frame. A much better system especially for snow loads.

16 x 20. 5 Rafter angle kit vs standard 4 rafter. CONDUIT UTILIZATION and RIDGE SUPPORT. The 4 rafter or 5 rafter angle kit both require the same amount of conduit, 21 pieces. A 4 rafter angle kit on a 16 x 20 requires 9 cuts of 6' 6" for the ridge and 2 eaves frame poles. Requiring 9 pieces of 10' conduit. A 5 rafter angle kit has 12 cuts at 5' for the ridge and eaves requiring only 6 pieces of conduit. A much better system especially for snow loads.

16 x 24. 6 Rafter angle kit vs 5 rafter. CONDUIT UTILIZATION and RIDGE SUPPORT. A 5 rafter angle kit requires 26 pieces of conduit while the 6 rafter only requires 25. A 5 rafter angle kit on a 16 x 24 requires 12 pieces of conduit for 6' cuts. A 6 rafter requires 6 pieces of conduit with 4' 10" cuts. A much better system especially for snow loads.

FIRE RESISTANT CANVAS: Meets CPAI 84 fire retardant code. If a tent is not specifically treated for fire resistance it will burn quickly. Fire Resistant canvas will only burn when there is a flame source present on the canvas. When you remove the flame source the wall tent will stop burning. However, there is no wall tent made that will not burn.

Click SLEEPING CAPACITY for each size of tent. It is sometimes difficult to determine the correct size required and hopefully sleeping capacity info page will be of some assistance.

Extended fly will have stove pipe opening with a tie down flap in the extended section as some people use a stove for cooking outside the tent.

When you receive your tent, set it up, and completely wet it down. Especially on the seams, both inside and outside seams on your tent. Wetting down your tent will cause the canvas to shrink and help close the thousands of needle holes in your tent.

FLY IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Fly is a protective tarp, extend the life expectancy of your tent. Also, there are thousands of needle holes in your tent and occasionally a needle hole does not close when the tent is wetted down. The only way to insure your tent does not leak is to put a fly on your tent.

I price my fly's approximately 25-50% below my competitors to encourage individuals to use a fly to protect their tent roof.

EVERY MONTH WE GET CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS WHO BUY A FLY AFTER USING THEIR TENT. Normally customers have spark holes in their tent roof. Or dirt, pitch and tar on their roof that won't come off. A fly is strongly recommend at the time of purchase to avoid possible roof issues. And most importantly, to increase life expectancy of your tent. - Rich

FLY ADVANTAGES- SUMMARY

SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES LIFE OF TENT. The roof is the first part of a tent that normally fails.
Prevents stove spark burn holes in roof. It is much easier and cheaper to replace a fly, if necessary, than a tent.
Provides another moisture barrier to prevent leaks.
Protects the cotton canvas from UV rays. Put a cotton shirt outside during the summer and see how UV rays destroys the cotton.
Keeps roof clean. When camping under a tree, a tree rains down dirt during rain storms.
Prevents pitch and tar getting on the roof. Removing tree pitch and tar requires a harsh detergent which destroys the roof water, mildew and fire treatment. Then you will have leaks in your roof.
Fly provides 1 foot overhang on each side of tent by carrying water and snow 1 foot away from side wall.
Water and snow slides off fly quicker than canvas roof as the fly is completely smooth.
Provides some insulation value when there is an air gap between fly and roof.

SHIPPING BAGS for floors, fly, extended fly, porches and cook shacks options are not large enough to be used for storage bags.

RECOMMENDATION: ALWAYS KEEP YOUR TENT ROOF AND FLY TAUT SO WATER CAN QUICKLY BE REMOVED FROM YOUR TENT. Water can collect on the roof in an "eave trough" which is a low area just before the sidewall created by a not tight roof or loose fly.

Canvas should be very taut on a tent frame, especially, if set up for extended periods of time and a fly always used. Fly should also be tight to avoid water in an eave trough. Water will eventually go through the fly if saturated for weeks. Canvas saturated in water will rot and mildew regardless of water mildew protection applied. There is no warranty for eave rot.

OPTIONS AVAILABLE

At the bottom of this page are OPTION PHOTOS and explanations. Options include porches, cook shacks, fly's (protective tarp), floors.

TENTS ON PLATFORMS

I strongly recommend you read my recommendations regarding placing wall tents on a platform.

I strongly recommend tent frame leg supports on platforms. which are screwed onto the platform. Wood platforms are smooth surfaces compared to the ground. You don't want to have tent frame legs slide off a platform during high winds.

Leaving a tent set up for extended periods of time. Water can collect on the roof in an "eave trough". The trough is the area at the bottom of roof just before the side horizontal tent frame poles. Canvas should be very tight on frame if set up for extended periods of time and a fly used. Fly should also be tight to avoid water and snow in an eave trough. Canvas saturated in water will rot and mildew regardless of water mildew protection applied. There is no warranty for eave rot.

TESTIMONIALS

My neighbor recently bought a 16 x 24 glamping tent package from you and I am totally impressed with the quality and workmanship. I was told you had the best customer service on the internet. Package includes the tent, wilderness 5 deluxe stove, rain fly and complete 6 rafter frame. Neighbor also recommended the in line spark arrestor for ease of cleaning, fire mat under the stove, floor and a couple heavy duty coat racks. Jackson.

Hi Tyler. It was good visiting with you and thanks again for helping us pick out the perfect tent for us. Please pass this along to the owner. I purchased a 14 x 16 with an 8 foot awning from you guys a month ago. We are very happy with our purchase and it has met all our expectations. We recently spent 11 nights in our tent in Missouri and weathered through a tornado and 8 days of wet rain. We were at an event with 300 people camping in tents. Our tent was one of the talks of camp and we hosted many people for coffee around the fireplace. I have about 5 individuals that would like to go ahead and buy a tent as well. We are looking to purchase two more tents for us this spring and then the organization is talking about starting off with 10 tents for a homestead project. Just FYI, we will be going to these events about 2 times a year. Thanks again, Shawn.

Tyler, thanks so much for your amazing customer service! It was a pleasure dealing with a professional company who obviously stresses top notch service. I had been trying for a month to even get a response from another company. I wish I had found your company first from the beginning. If there is a link for me to leave a review please send it to me. Thanks again, Kyle.

I didn't have an opportunity to inspect my tent prior to our trip. I just bought the 1"EMT electrical metal tubing conduit for my tent frame angle kit. I cut the EMT steel tubing per your instructions. The frame was a perfect fit when I set up camp. I must say I am very impressed with the quality and the double stitching. The thick webbing on the eaves and the steel D rings is unbelievably strong. To top it off there was a double layer of canvas to reinforce the ridge that I didn't realize was a standard feature. All in all the wilderness is the most reinforced and highest quality tent I have ever seen. Thanks again, Pat.

Great Apologetic Resource

Format: Paperback

This is a great introductory resource for Christians who want to defend the hope that is within them. Habermas and Licona outline and defend a strong "minimal fact" argument for the resurrection of Jesus. In short, this historical argument argues for certain facts concerning the events surrounding the resurrection such as Jesus dying on a cross, the disciples claiming to have seen him risen, and Paul having a transforming experience of the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, etc. After arguing for all these alleged facts, the authors argue that a bodily resurrection fits the evidence better than any other theory. The strength of this argument is that it relies on multiple points each of which has a good body of evidential support. One can still claim agnosticism on the resurrection I suppose but I think that if one is honest (and philosophically open at least to be possibility of God acting in history via miracles) he or she would have to conclude that Jesus rose from the dead. As I said above, this is a great introductory work. Someone who wants to delve further should read N.T. Wright's The Resurrection of the Son of God, and works by William Lane Craig on the subject. Read the other side as well both online at Internet Infidels and through books by Christian deconverts. Both authors quote other prominent New Testament scholars to back up their points while citing the original sources behind their alleged facts, ensuring that one who is earnestly seeking can check their work and investigate the matter for herself. The book also contains charts that visually summarize the points being made in the text which makes the material easier to remember. The book deals with alternative theories and then discusses the philosophy of Naturalism. I have read better critiques of Naturalism but this book does a good job of refuting pop-Naturalism I suppose. The next part contains brief chapters defending the bodily resurrection view against the heavenly appearance view and that Jesus claimed divinity. I think these sparse chapters could have been lengthened, especially the chapter on Jesus' self-understanding to make a stronger case. The next chapter on Intelligent Design is really out of place in this book and should have been left out. If the authors wanted to give props to ID they should have done so in an Afterward or an appendix. The book is mainly about Jesus, what he was about and what happened to him, not about ID. Lastly, the book has many endnotes which I much appreciate along with an extensive bibliography which I appreciate even more. Overall this was a very edifying read and can help you when someone challenges you about the evidential basis for your faith.

Recommended for Pastors

Format: Kindle

Knowing why you believe what you believe is one of the hardest parts of being a Christian. Just as parents answer a child's endless supply of "why?" questions and usually run out of answers, The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary Habermas ensures that we Christians don't. It begins with "why" it is important for us to know the information provided in this book. The answer is found in God's Holy Word, I Peter 3:15, "Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence." This book takes several arguments disputing the resurrection of Christ and tears them to shreds. It demonstrates that the very sources used against the resurrection are biased and partial. The amount of information and biblical knowledge contained within is astounding. It includes a CD-ROM which is pure genius, educating the public about the resurrection. Habermas dissects common questions that argue against Jesus' resurrection, making it an easy reference for the future. For example, say the person you are witnessing to says, "The disciples stole the body;" it is easy to find the information to refute that false belief. Every known argument for why the resurrection didn't happen is accounted for in this book, and proven wrong. This book is an excellent learning tool for every Christian. I recommend it for pastors as a reference tool and a study guide, regardless of where they are in their walk with the Lord. All of life is a time to learn, and learning never stops. We can never know too much about God. With the inclusion of a detailed outline of the arguments contained in this book, the notes taken to write the book ( listed by individual chapter),and the bibliography of other reference books used in this one, there is an limitless supply of Bible studies and/or sermons. What pastor could not use this book? This book is by far one of the most useful books on the Christian faith. -- Tammy Hornbeck, Christian Book Previews.com

Buy it for the Resurrection but Stay for the Logic

Format: Kindle

Being a huge fan of Bishop Robert Barron on YouTube, I turned to this book for a specific issue: what is the historical evidence not only that Jesus lived but that He was resurrected? In addition, I wanted something that wasn't written from the perspective of theology but from a more neutral, historical stance. Furthermore, I wanted a book that wasn't a 900 page academic treatise but a book that a layperson could read, easily, and get an overview to the historiography. AN OVERVIEW TO THE HISTORIOGRAPHY This book fulfilled that role. Whether you accept its evidence or not hinges a) on your own religious perspective and open mindedness, and b) whether you accept the veracity of many of the early writings of Christianity. Not being an expert, I can't really reach a firm conclusion on "b." The authors are clearly fervent Christians, but they do an admirable job of leaving their beliefs aside and resting their survey to the facts and the historiography. The book is an excellent overview to the logic and argument in favor of the resurrection. If you're curious or you've ever wondered whether there is any evidence... this is an excellent choice. AN EXPOSE ON LOGIC What I found surprising and enjoyable, however, was the writers' expose on logic. If x is true, then y is true. If a is not true, then b cannot be true - etc. The discussion of historical logic, above and apart from the Resurrection, was eye-opening. It made me think - a lot - about how I apply logic to my own understanding of "reality," whether a scientific theory (e.g., evolution) or a historical theory (e.g., that Christ was resurrected). For that alone, the book is worthy of the read. Did Jesus live? Was he resurrected? This book is not only a good survey of the evidence and arguments but also a wonderful adventure in logic. Read it, and you decide.

Equipping Believers to Evangelize the Resurrection

Format: Paperback

To be candid, I am not a fan of most popular apologetics -- especially on the resurrection. But when I saw that this book was 384 pages long, I thought it was perhaps an exception and would cover the issue in more detail than others. I was wrong. So why do I still rank this book so high? Because it does what it intends to do effectively. This book effectively equips Christians to witness to their friends, neighbors, and families using the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Habermas and Licona begin with a discussion about the importance of the resurrection of Jesus to Christianity. Though this seems obvious, the discussion is helpful because it wisely recommends focusing on the resurrection without getting bogged down in, presumably, issues such as inerrancy and a complete harmonization of the resurrection narratives. This is a common failing of Christians trying to share their faith. The authors' emphasis on keeping the eye on the ball extends throughout the book. After the opening chapter, the book turns to the core of the issue, the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. The strength of this section is that it distills down, accurately, a high level of scholarship on the issue. Habermas and Licona present five "minimal facts." That is, they focus on five historical facts that are accepted by most scholars: 1) Jesus' death by crucifixion; 2) Jesus' disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them; 3) Paul, a persecutor of the church, has suddenly changed to faith in Jesus; 4) James, skeptical of Jesus during his ministry, was suddenly changed to faith in Jesus; and, 5) The tomb of Jesus was empty. No. 4 is perhaps more disputed than Habermas and Licona discuss (and by far the least important of the five), but the rest of the discussion accurately represents the state of historical scholarship. Although their discussion will not supplant the more probing discussions of N.T. Wright or William L. Craig, it will equip the reader to accurately present to their friends, neighbors, and family the persuasive historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. They fit their "minimal facts" together effectively to present a strong case for the resurrection of Jesus. Most of the rest of the book deals with various objections to the resurrection. This includes the usual suspects, such as the hallucination theory or the forgotten grave site. But it also includes others that scholars tend to ignore but which actually pop up in real conversation, such as whether Jesus could have been an alien (don't laugh, I've heard that one) and how do we know that even if there was a resurrection that God had anything to do with it. Their response effectively focuses on the context of Jesus' ministry and claims about himself. There are a few sections that appear out of place, such as the discussion of near death experiences and even the section about the existence of God. But the book closes with its strength, a helpful discussion of how to take the knowledge conveyed by the book and convince others about the resurrection of Jesus. Christians wishing to share effectively the core of their faith with those they care about will find this book very helpful. And for that reason, I recommend it.

“Jesus’ Resurrection is a crucial issue”

Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback

This book is a must for everyone. The question of “Jesus” is the most important question in human history. Was Jesus real? Did Jesus die? Did Jesus rose? These questions and those like it are the most fundamental, theological questions of the human race. If Jesus was real, if Jesus died, and if Jesus rose, then what he taught is real. The author does a great job of breaking down key arguments against the resurrection, key points of why the resurrection happened, and so much more. The author provides easy breakdown charts. The book it is very easy to read for the common man. If you have an honest heart, you should read this book and see what you think. If you are a Christian, you should get this book to help with your faith, to help correct some false teachings (like a non-bodily resurrection), and to better yourself in defending the faith.
