Tents--Cabela's Outback lodge or Extreme teepee?

My buddy has the same tent as Jerry does. I stayed in it last November for a week hunting whitetails. We had a stove in it and it worked wonderfully. We had 13 people eating supper in it one night and all but 2 were sitting in chairs or on a bench!

I agree with Longarrow I too have a Cabelas xwt and it is a very good four season tent and it never gets too windy or rainy for it and has never been wet inside when alot of others got wet.  Ben

yipper it has plenty of room for four to five guys with cots and gear....

if you don't need that much room get the Mountain version...but for the price difference and the weight I would get the outfitter...never tooo much room.

I hunted in my cousin's Kirafu Teepee this year in Colorado and it was great.  Kirafu also makes a great wood burning stove.  Do an internet search to find the website.  They are pricey, but worth IMO!

Been using the outback lodge for a few years and love it. I never use the center pole. Am always able to find a limb to hang it from...very roomy without the pole.

I've been camping in my 12x12 Outback Lodge for several years now. I can't say enough good things about it.

Very stable even in strong wind/storms. Never leaked even once, and I've never treated it. Lots of room for two cots or air mattress', a couple folding chairs, small table w/lamp, and enough room to stand up to dress. It doesn't really sweat much because it has built in vents. And it even comes with a center pole for late night dancing.  

The zipper can be a bear but I fixed that by cutting away an extra flap that wasn't doing anything anyway. Now those middle of the night quick exits don't result in swearing and cussing.

My wife used to hate tents until I bought the Lodge. We take ours every year to ATAR.

Get the 12x12, you will thank yourself every time you use it.

I had a outback lodge thought it was a good tent, withstood 60+mph winds twice, i was holding the center pole in fear the first time though. I did sell mine for two reasons though, 1st. if it rained water did come in when you open the door. 2nd, I had the 12x12 and it was just two big for what I needed
