GUYS..
yes that is a Baker tent and Eureka no longer makes them.
it weights about 3 pounds with the lines and stakes..
my fishing buddys who have been up to canoe country with
me called this " Daves Parachute" because of all the lines
running off the back..it was never made to have all those
but i kept adding them to get more headroom over the years.
the photo below is the new one that i layed out and cut up
and my wife sewed up for me...she go's on trips also..
it's been named "The Dance Hall" the first time it went up
the guy who took this photo said it was so big we could dance
around in it...i made it from Silnylon and the lines are
the liteweight gold cord--Kelty Tripease..i bought titanium
stakes and even with it's large size the weight is about
2 1/2 pounds...a good source for silnylon is Thruhiker.com
they carry seconds for 4-5 bucks a running yard..
these shelters are ready made by Cooke sewing in Minnesota.



notice that the Dance Hall has fewer guy lines on the back.
i made this with a 18 inch back wall which gives it lots
of head room without lines pulling the roof up..
