Dibs please. I'm a few hour drive from SD.

Edit dammit got scooped! 2nd dibs then if the first falls through. Shipping poles etc can be pricey and I'm willing to drive out to pick it up.

Is it that one ? That one looks like an A frame, not a wall tent. I'm confrused.....

The Drop walls are fairly short, a lot like the platform tents used by "the boyscouts" but with shorter walls.
They setup fairly quick.

Actually it turns out the tent will not suit my needs as I had first thought it would so good luck to you sir.

Hey guys -

So yes, it's technically a wall tent, you use the guy lines on the sides to lift the bottom 18" or so vertical and it gives you lots more room inside. I used it for roman reenactment and sca, it's the ubiquitous military tent used during many eras. Matthew is out, so Patternweld if you're interested PM me...

Thanks for the interest!

-Matthew- Thank you.

I contacted Pelagon via PM and have put a deposit down on the tent while I sort my schedule for enough time to drive down to SD to set it up once and inspect it.

Back up dibs!

OK you're backup. Will know in about a week and a half when PatternWeld takes a look.

Guys unless the canvas is mildewed and ripped this is pretty much on lock. I just have about 640 miles of road time to do, starting this friday.

I like driving but adding a San Diego 6 hour turn around on the tail end of that is just a lil much.

Grimr

Roger that!

Does the fat an fuzzy dog come with said tent? OoO

I was going to ask about the dog as well provided it does not have a gas leak problem as that can really mess up a tenting.

Wow, that's awesome. Pretty much as good a deal on a decent tent as one can get.

desperate times seek desperate measures my friend...
