I bought this vintage canvas tent because I thought it was a pretty cool looking design;
different from most tents you see. I think it would make a great one-man hunting tent,
but I haven’t found the opportunity to use it.
When I first got the tent, I tried to do some research online and didn’t find much information
on this type of tent. I thought I’d post this video of myself
setting it up at 4 times speed for anyone else who is interested. This umbrella tent
(as it is called) is a Western Field Tent made by Montgomery Ward. The floor is a 10
x 10 square. As you can see it is very easy to set up by yourself. This video clip is
7:17 long at normal speed. I only staked down the corners, so if I were to set it up completely
it may take closer to 10 minutes. This design seems to be obsolete, but its
ease of setup is very nice. I hope you enjoyed seeing how to pitch an
umbrella tent. If so, please click “like” on the youtube like button.
