What about the size of the tent I'm pitching!!!

So I am wondering if there are any size restriction or limits to tent sizes? I have a large frame canvas tent and wonder if I will have a problem pitching it? Really? There are 8 of us that would all be camping in Town Park in it and it is a 14 X 16 7 foot tall tent at the peak that we use for Elk Hunting in the winter. Is this going to be OK? :cheers

WoW! I’ve got to give myself a SUC !!! Can’t help it! :evil

The Earlyer you get there the better !
ours is 14X7
what is your arrval date ?

Sound perfect for late-night picking circles. :thumbsup :pickin :rock

Are you bringing a heater??? :sunshine

Matt

No restrictions on tent size other than those provided by mother nature

Is there anywhere we could pick up a tent heater for the week, Im kinda a little concerned about the overnight temperature for us light travelling Brits.

Were bringing a dome tent with 2 separate sleeping quarters and Im sure its gonna get a little airy overnight once the beer and music wear off. :vibes :vibes

I’m sure you could pick one up at either Wal-Mart, Target, or Sports Authority in Montrose. :thumbsup

Sports Authority for sure. I have a swell tent heater that I crank up right before bed and then when I wake up before I roll out of the sleeping bag.

Boy, and I thought that EJ’s taj-ma-tent was big!! Watch out for Camp Wander In. We’re tough on mega tents. Lpts of pranks afoot. All you have to do is hear the Great Telluride Balloon Massacre to get the idea of what’s possible.
Cheers and bring it on, we’ll find a place for it.

:wave Hmmmmmmm- I’m still thinking about livestock in large tents… :evil :evil :evil

:peace

Ain’t about the size of the tent you’re pitching, it’s how you use it!

Well, I don’t think it will be a problem for your neighbors considering the fact that that tent is 228 sq ft, and there are 8 of you staying in it, which isn’t really even that big if you take into account that it equates to an area of 7 foot by 4 foot for each person. I think the many single person tents are larger than 28 sq ft of floor area, so, you guys are actually, on an individual basis, freeing up even more space for others!!! Kudos to you for a conservationalist camping strategy! :wink:

Wow never suffered from tent size guilt before…It’s alway’s somethin :lol

LOL Landshark!! I was just pointing out that there’s no need for the original poster to have concerns considering the size of the party, and, I do find it commendable that the questions was posed.
PS Great Pic :slight_smile:

:wave So now you can run and hide from me Kevin :lol :flower

So ya think a 14x15 tent fer just one is a bit much :lol :lol me too!!

… more room to run! :slight_smile: … Just Kidding! :slight_smile:

At our advanced age it helps to be able to stand up
and a porta potty in the tent , makes it easier for those late night trips
Oh and Did I meantion the Heater …
We Dont Camp … We Live !
:cheers

So what’s up with this zodie shower, it says you must keep it 15 feet away from yer shower, so does someone stand outside and turn it on, is this not a solo thing you can do??

A tent heater sound nice so I’m guessing they do not run on fuel… never saw one.

It sure is amazing all the cool stuff you can buy for car camping… I’m a backpacker and used to roughing it.
I just love all this gear (camping at RGA) and might have to camp next year at TBF. :medal

Our shower set up is a 10by10 Ez up walled in on 3 sides
the Shower tent is on the open back wall so you can undress pour yourself a cold one
Turn the shower on get in and do your thing
The Heater is outside on the side of the shower tent …
