Housing on your claim for yourself and 10 workers (6 would probably be a little less intimate) for $1500. Just about an oz and a quarter AU and there you go

Nice...if I was spending the winter on the claim. 127pounds...ouch!

WHOA!!!!! That thing is even bigger than my tent which is 10X20! Of course mine doesn't weigh nearly as much, can be set up by a single person with a little practice and can double as a "Screen room" on those hot desert nights.

Do your final clean up in that thing!

That thing looks like it would be a couple days to set up .

Looks like something from Harry Potter.

The Cabela's Alaknak has been around for years & I have friends that use them. They actually set up surprisingly easy. Very wind/weatherproof, & durable which is a huge thing here in Alaska. I have 2 man tents that weigh 2 pounds and "6 man" (comfortable for 4) extreme weather tents that weigh 40 pounds. I have a 10x18 canvas Baker style wall tent with removable floor & I don't even WANT to know what it weighs!!! I would love to have one of the Alaknaks. I could use the vestibule for a garage for my Argo :-)

I like my beckel canvas 10x12. I picked it up a few years ago used at a good price. We use it for both mining and the deer camp. Being smaller it is easy for 1 person or 2 to setup. Also having a smaller tent keeps the extra moochers out of my beer.

That's interesting as I see it's billed as only water resistant. I've spent quite a bit of time in my Baker style wall tent with a rain-snow fly and a homemade porch fly on my hunting adventures. Very comfortable with the woodstove in late fall, but probably not so much if used in the skeeter and noseeum summer.

Good Lord I hope my wife doesn't find out about that thing, we got enough oversized camping gear!

12.00 per pound, it is big:-)

I have had my share of big on the claim.....bears don't care how big...they want in!

Thank goodness that's one critter I don't have to worry too much about here! Bears on top of Javalinas and rattlers is a scary thought!
