Canadian 4 man "officers" tent
I have the 160 Pound Tent from Anchor Sales. Some of our club members have brought down a smaller version that is the same height and width, but half the length so I would call it an '80 PoundTent".
Asked where they got them and it has been "one-off" finds. Does anyone on the list know the official designation for these? Better yet, does anyone have a source for one for sale? I can make the wood poles using my 160 wood as a pattern, so shipping would not be an onerous chore to get just the canvas. These come as two pieces - the wall tent itself, and a fly that goes over the top. If you have one, you know what I am talking about. Color is brown or green and the fly doesn't need to match the tent in colour or date. Any leads?? |

Yep, 80 pounders. They were given away from the base here back in the late 90s, mostly in the green colour and of 1960s manufacture. I likely have one or two buried in the canvas shed out back, but can't be sure.
