I've run Deer and Duck Camp out of a wall tent for the last 5 years. This year, I upgraded a little! Still more to do, but it's done for this season. Everything is usable and ready for Deer and Duck Camp.

Certainly beats the hell out of dealing with mud beneath the floor tarp, wet floor, moisture on all the walls, ceiling and everywhere else. I might even go so far as to make accommodations for guests to take off their dirty boots and put on the slippers left under a bench by the entry. Overall it is a great improvement over a wall tent. With all that said, I have seen some very nice yurt or wall tent accommodations. Having a decent floor is one of the nicest things for a wall tent or yurt. While a ground tarp is pretty rudimentary, it sure beats the hell out of laying on the ground. |

My neighbor and I are going to try and drive a sandpoint in the future. |

The porcupines would eat them to get at the salt from ass-sweat. |
