Guide Review - Montana Canvas Wall Tents

Montana Canvas Wall Tents are serious tents for serious conditions. These tents may take 2 or 3 people to set them up (about 15-20 minutes), but they'll keep you dry and warm in the most inclement of weather. Frame, floor and stove sold separately. An expensive investment, but one that will last many years.
