I’m learning as I go. It’s been a while since I hunted from a wall tent. It’s been great so far. Surprised by the room and comfort! Looking forward to getting a review out here soon.

Chime in with thoughts, questions and suggestions!
Thanks

Coat hangers and scrap carpet are my only suggestions.
I usually suspend a 5’ piece of conduit from the ridge for a hanging rod. Your tent looks great.

Also, a bunch of 6” spikes are all I use for stakes. Take a claw hammer and they come out easy.

Have you tried a clothes line from parachord? I was thinking of rigging up a line from wall to wall or along the length of the tent to dry clothes

Good to know. Thanks.
Wall Tent Shop sends two sets of spikes. One for the tent and a second to hold the rain fly.

In the pics above, I was in a gravel pit, so went with winter camping style tie down.

I deleted all the photos off my phone the other day. I’ll reload some more tent pics and I’ll show you the stakes that come with the tent.

I’m sure that would work too. I also cut up wire coat hangers for S hooks to hang things from.

Lighting, I use the cheap 12v strip lights with the remote control. Small 12v deep cycle battery, charged via solar.
also have the usb outputs for charging off the same battery.

Haha!!! Those lights are rad! I really like that idea. I might have to chase those down and add them. Looks better than the lantern Ive been using.

This stuff is incredibly cheap on Amazon. China made so it should be. They probably have a solderless solution, but I did solder. Pain in the butt.

I use those strips all over.

Do your clothes line like this. From side pole to side poles, over ridge line, with loops in it.
Then you put a hanger thru each loop.

That is an excellent idea!

We hang cheap harbor freight wool blankets along the walls inside. Fold them along the long edge so they're not touching the floor and add grommets for attaching to the tent frame. It's amazing how much warmer and comfortable it makes the tent.

What battery and solar charger do you use? Would you mind giving more detail about how you hook it all up?

We use a heavy duty vinyl mesh truck tarp, the kind that truckers use to cover their loads, as a floor, and we believe it’s a very good option. We love wall tent hunting even though the newer tent options and campers have many advantages. There is just something about burning wood that I don’t ever want to give up.

Lemme circle back on that. I’m a master sparky But it is really pretty easy. 50 watt minimum panel, solar controller takes the feed from the panel and makes it a usable 12v . That charges the battery and mine has outputs for 12v lights/USB power points. The battery is just a 75AH 12v deep cycle and is plenty big.

The connections and solar controller are all in that Tupperware box.

Would you mind giving a rough list of supplies need for this? My dad was a master electrician, so I know more than average duck as far as making the connections. I’m just having a hard time visualizing the full set up from panel to USB port.

This should have been the first reply!

This is exactly how mine is hooked up. None of the wires are big. The solar can only push 50 watts, so 18 ga. Is plenty if you are using over 50’ to get the panel in the sun, use 16 ga. I feed the battery from the controller with 12 ga and a 20 amp fuse on the +.

Nothing more satisfying than the snap of a mousetrap in the middle of the night! We leave several traps in the tent bag.
