Outfitter wall tents have a reputation for being just as accommodating as a house. The best canvas wall tents are wind, fire, and water-resistant. They last for decades and are super reliable in the wilderness.
Wall tents are a go-to choice if you are not married to the idea of a flip-out tent. This is because they serve the user on multiple occasions and not just camping. With the extra space and headroom, the possibilities of how you can utilize the space are endless. To give you an idea of where to begin, we are listing the top camping accessories that you need on your next trip to the great outdoors.
Stove
This is one accessory you can’t fit into every camping tent out there. Outfitter wall tents come with a stove jack so you can install a stove inside and fix the chimney exhaust on the roof or the side of the tent.
With a stove, you can cook inside, and keep yourself warm too. You get privacy when you prepare your meals, and you don’t have to deal with a makeshift kitchen in the middle of your campsite. The popular choice is a wood-burning stove, however, a liquid-fuel stove is also a mighty contender, especially when you don’t want to lug around wooden logs.
Something to get with the stove is a fireproof mat. Place it at the foot of the stove to avoid accidents and damage any flooring that you may have installed. You can treat the mat like a moat and place multiple ones all around the stove to be extra careful. If you have kids on the trip with you, they should know this marks the no-go zone.
Bags and Carriers
Don’t confuse the bag your canvas tent kit arrived in as your frame bag or tent carrying bag. That is vacuumed for efficient packaging and delivery. Oftentimes you will find it is too hard to put your tent back in this original bag. A frame bag has enough space for you to place all your canvas tent parts and bits with room to dig through it so you can take out what you need as you need it. You can also pack additional things that you may have bought to customize your tent in your tent bag.
A log carrier eliminates the need for you to see how much you can fit in your arms without the load obstructing your vision. Apart from being heavy, why run the risk of removing splinters from your hands all through the trip.
Furniture
You can set a desk where you work during the day and can treat it as a small dining table during meal times. A desk makes it easy for you to take important work calls while you are away on the trip. It is also useful if you have decided to use this getaway to write or create something.
For women, a desk can also be used as a vanity where you place all your skincare products and makeup. It will complete your morning ritual before you head out on whatever is planned for the day.
Tarps
Rain or shine, outfitter wall tents will hold their ground. To make your shelter extra secure in the case of a bad weather prediction, a heavy-duty tarp is a godsend.
Both canvas tarps and polyester tarps can be used as rainflies. This is a taught layer tethered above the roof of your tent to catch and direct the flow of water to the ground. A rainfly absorbs a lot of the noise from the constant pattern of rainfall, which would otherwise be subjected directly to the roof of your tent. You can sleep peacefully at night.
Additionally, you don’t have to worry about damage being inflicted on your tent. Or the pressure of the rain pooling on the roof. A rainfly comes in handy when you are camping under snowing conditions.
Wall tents don’t have a floor as part of their design. This is so that you can install a stove. But you can install a footprint and utilize all that floor space for setting up a lounge area, place your yoga mat on, and keep the inside of your tent tidy.
With a tarp dividing you and the ground, you can be assured that the dampness of the campground won’t seep into the interior of the tent.
Bedding
Owing to the space in a wall tent you don’t have to be confined to a sleeping bag. You can place a bed frame with a comfortable mattress so you can enjoy a good night’s peaceful sleep. You will wake up refreshed and ready to take on the outdoor activity of the day.
You have to be careful about picking out the blanket. Since bed frames are above the ground, you don’t have to worry about the cold seeping in. You do have to ensure that you pack an insulated blanket to keep yourself warm when camping in the cold weather.
You don’t have to leave your furry friend at home. Wall tents have enough floor space so you can install a comfortable dog bed for your loyal companion on this adventure as well.
Other Accessories
While the top 8 accessories are a must-have when camping with the best canvas wall tents, you can always add one to your tent.
1- Coat Rack
A coat rack will keep your gear and clothes organized. If you are on a hunting expedition with a large group, this keeps things tidy and in sight so you can use the space inside the tent efficiently.
2- Portable Coffee Machine
You are a one-in-a-million if you can start your day without a cup of coffee. Save yourself time in the morning and get yourself a handheld coffee maker. You don’t have to fire up the stove for it. Wake up – have a cup of coffee, and then you can decide what to do next with a clear head.
3- Portable Washer
A small washing machine will be super helpful outdoors. When camping you only have a limited amount of clothing choices. It is very easy for outer layers to get dirty when hiking or hunting. You either pack it away to clean at home or you keep on using the dirty clothes and be uncomfortable in them. A third option is to get a small washing machine designed just for the camping experience.
4- Hot Water Cylinder
Whether you are camping in summer or winter you will want a hot shower at the end of the day. A propane cylinder will make it easier to heat water and you can reserve it for the shower area. Most campers will heat water on the stove and carry pots to the bathroom area. But this is more convenient and less prone to accidents.
5- Solar Powered Air Cooler
When glamping in the summer, a solar-powered air cooler is a must. You won’t have to feel bad about using so much energy as it runs on the power of the sun. By choosing a high-end device you can turn it on for the entire day.
6- Solar Powered Lights
To amp up the ambiance, place ball lights, or fairy lights around the walls of your wall tent. During nighttime, it looks more cheerful and you won’t feel alone in the darkness if you choose to sit outside your tent in the evening.
7- Speakers
Adding wireless Bluetooth speakers can enhance the entertainment factor of your camping experience. Find a water-resistant speaker. Not that you would deliberately douse it in water but you may carry it around, or forget it outside after using it and you don’t want it to get damaged under possible rainfall.
8- A Smart Cooler
Take your kitchen corner up a notch and replace your simple box cooler with a smart cooler. Not only will this keep your produce and drinks cool; but it also comes with a USB charger, a blender, a bottle opener, a corkscrew, a lid light, and a kitchen knife.
