I like armbruster tents which are 100% American made, not sure about other tent companies. Make sure you ask before you buy.

And please don’t forget Eureka Tent (which is famous for camping tents but also is big in military tents), in my hometown of Binghamton, New York. And just as an fyi, Eureka has an outlet (also in Binghamton, NY), where they have a huge tent sale every March.

That thing is beautiful. You can tell it’s solid and built to last just looking at the photo. You wouldn’t have to worry about the kids ripping it by playing a little to roughly or a dog sticking a claw through it. Worry free fun; I want one.

very cool.

I don’t know that they were this same brand or not, but I worked at a church camp in college. 2-3 times a summer we’d have an old fashioned tent meeting. We set up a huge one for people to meet in, and then atleast 50-60 of these things for people to sleep in.

It was crazy, thanks for a memory

Great post. Well-made, American field products are a hard find today. I will be recommending Armbruster Tents to colleagues.

Now I can afford to move out of my parent’s house… I mean… move out of my current residence that is not owned by my parents…

holy camolee, how much does that tent weigh? I remember shelter halfs were no fun to hump. I reckon that M1934 was something for the duece and halfs.
