Inexpensive small tents – Winnipeg, MB?
Author: admin
Looking for decent prices on tents in the Winnipeg area -
* Doesn’t need to be uber-backpacker gear, just sturdy enough to last at least this year
* small-ish; 2-person + backpacks
* domes or D-shaped, for example
* bonus points for downtown or heading out the south-east side of the city
If you haven’t seen any specific prices this week, I’d still appreciate any tips on which stores might have a decent tent on sale.
(I’d dig around on store sites, but I ought to be working right now!) Thanks in advance
Thanks much, everyone! Ended up spotting a little 2-person dome at Canadian Tire (Regent) at the last minute for $30 – if you were still looking, there were a few on the shelf.
I was in Superstore a few days ago. They had two-person tents for around 50.00 and it was a decent name brand too.
Not sure how cheap you are wanting to go but my husband and I are considering going back to get one!
Good luck on your search!

I’m not even sure it has all it’s poles. It’s an older model / I’d say somewhere in the late 70′s-80′s models.
I can’t seem to find any info online anywhere.
I think you may be struggling there!
Good quality tents usually have seasons like designer handbags…
Each year there are advancements in technology and science which some broght boffin figures out how to incorporate into a tent in order to make it more weatherproof or lighter or more durable etc.
This is great from an outdoors perspective because the advancements can only increase the simplicity of the outdoor experience.
The downside however is that if you want parts for a 20 – 30 year old tent, there have been that many changes in the designs over the years that it can be dam near impossible to get parts and things.
Id recomment trying to join a camping forum or an outdoors forum and put up a post asking what you want to know.
With any luck you may find a guy who’s still got his old one gathering dust in the attic and he can let you know if anythings missing and maybe even photocopy the instructions for you.
Generally speaking though, tents arent that hard to put up.
Have you tried building it up yourself just using trial and error.
You will more than likely be able to work it out and you can just take notes for future reference if you needed to.
Good luck!
I got tin plates/cups for everyone and we’re going to make hobo packets for dinner. I thought of a ‘dressup like a camper’ game where they would have a sack of random clothes like plaid shirts, fake mustaches, and big old jeans. They would have to get everything in the bag put on and the first one finished would get their picture taken. But what else can I do so the kids have a camping theme activity ?

What do I need to know about buying a camping tent?
Author: admin
I have been shopping for an approximately 10×10 camping tent for car camping (not backpacking). I have looked online at REI, Campmor, EMS, Sierra Trading… and in the store at Walmart and Dick’s Sporting goods. I’ve compared features so I know what’s typically available. I’m trying to find out why there is such a huge variance in prices… what is the value of a $200 tent vs. an $80 one with nearly the same features. (is it the material?) I’m looking for other people’s advice and experiences!
