  • We took a road trip to Cabela's in Nevada to check out the Ultimate Alaknak Tent and a few other goodies. We came back with a car load of stuff to play with.

    Thanks for making this video. It's probably one of the most complete overviews of the tent I've seen online. Very helpful.

  • @dozdeshabb
    @dozdeshabb 9 років тому +12

    This is really nice . definitely not for over night camping. I'll say more like a week long hunting trip or homestead prep or such..
    Wish you guys many long and happy camping ventures.

    I did a fair amount of research on the Alaknak, Big Horn III, cotton duck wall tents and others and decided on the Alaknak 12x12 yesterday. It was on sale for $749 and with the Cabela's Club Member discount, I got it for under $650. Also bought the vestibule for it. We'll see how it does up here in the North Maine Woods but I'm confident after viewing your very informative video I made the right choice. Thanks for your to-the-point coverage on the tent and accessories. Nicely done.

    Great tent, but for one person it takes me 3 hours to get the tent fully functional with bed, table two chairs, heater, roof protector and vestibule with all gear addressed. Tear down is about the same, but can be accomplished in just over two hours. Use fire retardant pad under stove. Also cardboard spread out on the floor with inexpensive carpet from Lowe's will protect the floor for many years and be very warm on the feet. Oh yes always use a heavy tarp under the tent to protect the floor from rocks and other issues.

    I pretty much set it up by myself the first time. My son was mostly an observer. This tent is simple and straight forward to set up, even taking it down was no big deal. It is nice to have someone help you fold it up, but really is not needed. I can see no issues with just an army of one completing this task.

    @CroakerOutdoors 5 років тому +2

    Bought this tent to use with a stove in the Fall and Winter. I have a Three Dog Stove that heats up the place 80+ if you need it. Love this thing. Takes a little bit to set up but you get used to it, the floor and roof protector add some time too but are worth it. I'll do everything from a two night weekend to a week upwards.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE
    @TheRealOLEMITE  11 років тому +3

    I do have a video showing last years hunting/camping trip, but this tent is for everything. Hunting, Camping, and in a few weeks it will be use for a prospecting trip. No matter how it is used it will be protected and defended by several large caliber firearms.

      @codygonzales5829 6 років тому +1

      Shit I'm high AF right now and when I seen a head in that sleeping bag I thought I was trippin or I thought I seen somebody dead in that thing because to me it looks like a portable Corners lab with them sleeping bags and then the accessory pouches looks like where they keep their autopsy tools and paperwork and the black bar at the feet look like where they keep the schedule the way your organs so any freeze to death in the woods they just perform an autopsy on you and see what was preserved 😦😨😱 I've never been more scared of camping in my life after watching this video that guy made it look freaky AF! looking, but on the other hand I am as baked as Willie Nelson at the CMAs on some top shelf cannabis! yeah!!!!!😃😅😂😂😎🍁💨💨=_= this symbol means I'm so high I can't even see out my own eyelids hahahaha 😅😆😅😂😂😂😂

  • @patriciahurt990
    @patriciahurt990 9 років тому

    Thank you for sharing! I would definitely use sand bags around it and a wood base platform for long term camping. Another thing I would add is foam flooring to keep warm.

  • @jessebeckton3717
    @jessebeckton3717 9 років тому

    With the cots in there it looks like there is only enough room to sleep three maybe four if you know each other really well. Glad I got to see this one all set up, I need a tent like this that sleeps six plus the stove.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE
    @TheRealOLEMITE  12 років тому

    I bought a Colorado Cylinder Stove Spruce Model at Sportsmans Warehouse a couple of weeks ago. I just got back yesterday from deer hunting. I didn’t get a deer but the stove worked great. It got down to 25 degrees at night and the stove kept thing very comfortable once we got the air flow figured out.
    I paid $369 at Sportsmans Warehouse. Cableas wanted $489.

  • @MrAzrancher
    @MrAzrancher 10 років тому

    Great tent and lightweight for its size. I have used WALL tents for years but they tend to get heavy and have no floors. I bought 2 extra tarps, one for under the tent and one for the floor. I use plywood squares to put under the cot legs to save the floor as well. The stove is a nice addition, I prefer the "4 dog stoves" .

  • @miller3138

    Center Pole: Approx 9'8'' tall; breaks down into one 38.75" and two 42.5" sections.
    The floor isn’t real thick but I would be careful setting it up on anything sharp or pointy.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE

  • @Cogzed
    @Cogzed 4 роки тому +1

    For your stove just get a welding blanket and lay that down instead of unzipping the stove area. That way if it’s windy it won’t blow crap into your tent from the bottom being unzipped.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE
    @TheRealOLEMITE  12 років тому

    Yes its water proof. It is a 4 season tent and It does not need a rainfly. There is a vestibule that you can purchase which I will get later. In fact, it is still up in the backyard right now in the rain. The boy just can’t wait to do some real camping.

    • @eddiewhitehorse6065
      @eddiewhitehorse6065 3 роки тому

      Yes you can. I lived in mine for 3.5 yrs. I did however, put a tarp over it . I have since then bought a house. and I now use it every summer and occasional winter... Great investment. Cabelas is the #1 in outdoor camping equipment and necessity.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE
    @TheRealOLEMITE  11 років тому

    I think I may get the vestibule this year myself.
    I bought a 12'x12' tarp online that fits perfect to help protect the floor.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE
    @TheRealOLEMITE  11 років тому

    I can carry it by myself as long as I don't have to go too far. Two people would be ideal. My son and I carry it with no problem.

    @vancroft13 8 років тому

    There is a twelve by twenty version if you want to sleep more then Two! Yes that's right on cots there is only room for two. I've owned one of these and although they are great tents, the twelve by twelve with the wood stove in it is just big enough for two and even then I would highly recommend the Vestibule, it is almost indispensable! we loved having it.
    as far as price? we're in Canada and this was several years ago so I would check but I'd say the 12x12 is around 800 and the 12x20 around 1100 I think? Don't shoot me if I'm of a bit!
    Either way they are wel worth it and don't skimp on the recommended accessories like the ground sheet, rainfly and spark fly!

    Outwell tents look like they can compete with cabelas on the family tent camping market. cabelas wins the hunting outfitter catagory just fine. Outwell has high quality beautifully designed tents for family camping.

  • @TheRealOLEMITE
    @TheRealOLEMITE  11 років тому

    Its a little more than a normal tent. It has a stove jack for a wood burning stove. If you want to see it with the stove, watch my Snake Lake video.

    Just for the record. This past weekend I set the tent up by myself. It took me 40 minutes while everyone watched. I just took my time and there is nothing difficult about it. It is an awesome tent and I got a few compliments too.

    I'd say as long as you have the stove you'd be good to go. But what kind of winters are you talking about? (I do not have experience with this tent but much crappier tents in -30 degrees C weather with lots of snow... oh also no stove)

    I guess it depends on how you buy it.
    Online price was $799
    At the store it was $839
    They had the tent set up outside the store with an old price tag of $699 so thats what they sold it to me for.
    I got lucky on that one.

Telling his BOY he camped in this very tent with his beloved gramps. In the middle of the night, when it's cold and raining and you've been out hunting all day, you won't think you're glaming it.You'll think, "I did right by myself and my family" Enjoy. I'm sure you worked hard to be able to afford it. Don't let some num-skull make you feel guilty

    I don’t know what your idea of real camping is, but my wife thinks camping is renting a house up at Tahoe for the week. I introduced my son to Desolation Wilderness with an Eight mile day hike out of Emerald Bay. I spent a large part of my single life backpacking in Yosemite, Desolation and Thousand Lakes Wilderness. As soon as he thinks he is ready to pack-in for a few days we’ll hit the trail. I never considered that camping. It was always known as getting away from it all.
