I have set my sail canvas baker and my wall tent up using parachute cord loops and rocks instead of stakes on rocky ground.  I use an inside truss rafter/pole.  Don't put them away wet and clean and dry the loops before storing.  Any dampness and the enzymes in dirt will work fast on them. Oh and watch out for tornadoes and moose, they are attracted to canvas.

Good info on cutting your own poles, total weight and the rebar stakes.  Gotta love Tradgang.  Some of my friends have started asking....."How do you learn all of this stuff?"

My Eena tents have double stake loops, the nylon and a ring. I agree that one needs to be careful with rebar. My metal stakes are aluminum with a hook. The hook holds down the loop, not the flat corners of the the stake.  I am sure that you told about setting them up a bit loose. High humidity and cooling evening temps will tighten canvas tents up.

I'm also rethinking the stakes. Been looking at some lighter options.

Your gonna love the wall tent. Spent a total of 3 and a half weeks in mine I bought last year. Best camp set up I have ever been in! Will be using it this year as hunting camp for a total of 4 weeks in 4 states.
So nice not to have to pay for a hotel and notnget weird looks as you walk thru a hotel lobby carrying tree stands..lol
For the tent stakes I used 12 inch long 3/8 nails from home depot were like 60 cents each. Works like a champ and galvanized!
 Cool trick on the cold nights... I bring my jet sled into tent and park it close to stove. Heat water on stove and fill solar shower. Hang solar shower from tent rafter. Stand in jet sled take hot show next to stove. Then wash dirty clothes in the soappy water in the jet sled and rinse with remaining water in solar shower. A hot shower and laundry at the same time and all in a 70 degree tent on a 10 degree night. Doesn't get any better!!!

I have Used those nails too.  Pretty much indestructible!  I put fender washers on them to keep the lines from popping off.  Probably not needed, but just in case.

That's a nice tent. They have a lot of room & are comfortable especially with a stove. Should make a nice home.
Thanks for sharing.

Just came back from a camping trip in The Green Mt. National forest on our first overnighter in it and am getting more and more efficient at setting up. No condensation like in a poly tent. Im loving it.

Very cool! I've been thinking about investing in one myself. How do you know where to start? There are hundreds available and at all different prices. What are some key quality features to look for, and what are some things to avoid? Thanks.

I found this manufacturer to have a ton of information.

After looking at all the other options out there, I just ordered a 12 x 14 with internal frame for myself.

Hope that helps.
