Baker Campfire Tent, Canvas Tent, Canoeing, Camping, Bushcraft

You are bidding on our version of the traditional Baker Tent (or Campfire Tent), which has the wild functionality of a tarp AND the cosyness of a tent, combined in one shelter: a true home ‘out there’.

The Baker Tent experience is unique in that you can sit, and cook by the fire, protected from wind, rain or even scorching sun, looking at the vista of nature in front of your camp. When the day is done, you simply get in the back and snuggle up for the night. It is designed in such a way, so that the side ‘wings’ can be used for weather protection when under the porch, by the fire, then double up as doors for the back inside section. We think it is the ultimate tent: the perfect balance of simplicity and comfort in nature.

This heavy-duty cotton canvas, compared to most tent materials out there, gives a much more comfortable climate inside, because it is highly breathable, and doesn’t melt with a spark from the fire. The special character and the possibility of having a fire out front, makes this tent ideal for canoe-trips, Land Rover off-road adventures, bushcraft camps and even back-garden camp-outs, but, due to its weight is probably not suitable for hiking trips.
