I’ve got a Cimmeron and an 8 man SO tipi for the backcountry stuff, but I want a super cushy setup mainly for family camping and side use as a base camp setup for elk hunting. I’m mostly a spike/backpack hunter so the Cimmeron/8 man combo got me by just fine with 2-3 guys.
But I’m looking toward the future with the wife, 2 yo and dog. Another kid might be in the works as well.
I thought about a wall tent but I wanted something a bit lighter that had a true floor, as Ohio can be pretty buggy most of the year.
I’m thinking the Alaknak 12x20 will be the right combo of weight, size, ease of setup, etc. I know condensation is an issue compared to canvas but I’m used to having to mitigate that with my tipi tents.
My wife isn’t much for roughing it so room for a queen sized inflatable mattress is a must, plus up to two kids and a 100 lb dog.
I’m also considering the Kodiak Canvas 12x12, but I’m worried that will be too cramped.
Anyone with experience with the Alaknak tents care to comment?
