Douglas Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 C-Tire sells good tents...for good prices when they're on sale.but Kaidy Mae will have the true answer for wicked tent + wicked price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 check the toronto craiglist sporting section regularly, updated every dayalso watch the newspaper... just be right on top of it as tents tend to be hot items, specially this time of the yearI picked up an immaculate 60 year old, 6 person canvas tent for $50 a couple of years back, took me a month of tries but was worth the wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 try the great canadian superstore...they had a 4 man tent on sale for 69.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Cost-Co, behemoth tent w/built-in kitchen (or garage...hehehe) for just under $100 (plus tax). You can stand right up in this mother (top is like 6'2" or so) and the "spare room" is perfect to put a little table in and hang out when it's raining or if you're doing anything highly illegal. It's called the "Wyoming". Hilarious! Note: If phunkyb offers you a pipe before you're about to set it up for the first time...DO NOT ACCEPT! Yes, it is hard to turn down such a sweet offer, but you're looking at 2+ hours of assembly time if you dance with the green lady first. Sheesh! I thought it was the WORST tent ever to put up...until I did it when my head wasn't in the clouds. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton used to host a big blowout at his place every sunday on the may 2-4. People were free to set up their tents on the property. After many long hours of kegs and whatnot, it was always a treat to attempt to assemble tents in the wee hours of the morning.... ahh memories...

harpuah Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I just ordered a VERY nice 3 season 4 man tent from Mountain Equipment Co-op for $90. Don\t know if you wanna spend that much but... I'll give you my old 4 person tent (its from Superstore and in pretty good shape) for the price of shipping if you want it. I can PM you pics if your interested.

Kaidy Mae Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 After many long hours of kegs and whatnot, it was always a treat to attempt to assemble tents in the wee hours of the morning.... ahh memories... Hahaha! I was trying soooo hard to get mine up before dark. I knew if it didn't happen that I would be sleeping in my van (which had conveniently died across the way...sorry to Ryan, Marsha, Marco, et al. for having it cramping your style). There were some seriously fucked up tents at CT. I saw one pop up style tent that was almost completely taken down. Poles popping out every which way. YET, there was still a passed out wookie on an air mattress inside. It was so damn funny. Oh well, at least he made an attempt. I think a drunk tent building competition would be hilarious to have one day. Everyone can draw names as to whose tent they get to set up.

bradm Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I think a drunk tent building competition would be hilarious to have one day. Everyone can draw names as to whose tent they get to set up. LOL Do it like a variant of "Name That Tune": have people bid for the number of beers (or shots, or mouthfuls of smoke ) they injest before setting up the tent... "I can set up that tent after 4 beers!" "I can set up that tent after 5 beers!" "I can set up that tent after 8 beers!" "Anybody else? OK, Set Up That Tent!" If the tent ends up looking like the picture on the package, the contestant wins. Of course, by the time the bonus round comes around, it could get messy... Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hahaha! Brilliant bradm! Okay, time to get organized. Maybe I'll give this a trial run at the boat cruise this weekend! I pity the poor bastard who gets my tent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
