Baker Campfire Canvas Tent Build, Part Two.
Рет қаралды 66,786
5 жыл бұрынIn this video, I finish a long awaited home build project - to make a canvas Baker campfire tent. Used since the mid 1800s by the early fur traders and voyageurs and given a new lease of fame by the legend Bill Mason, the Baker tent is perfect woodsman’s tent for all seasons.
Join me as I complete the build by stitching the panels together, add toggles, loops and tie-outs and make the poles. Then head out to the woods to try it out.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Beautiful work Simon. Man, that has to be such a feeling of accomplishment. So, canoeing in a canoe you built, sleeping in a tent you made. Doesn't get much better. Anxious to see the next video. Be safe!! Roger

people always say,that's fantastic you could make and sell them,but once you've made one large tent you don't want to make another for quite some time,also when you add you time and costs it would not be a cheap option,making your own gear gives you great satisfaction and is well worth the effort from the planning all the way to the end result and that's why we do it,you will never care for something the way you care for something you create with passion and love,after all making your own gear is a labour of love and not a job

Totally agree! I get asked a LOT if I can make them for other people - I’ve not got the time, let alone the interest in making more of them! 😂

Prior to watching this video, I wasn't even familiar with this style/type of tent. Very nice piece of work Simon, and nicely done! 👍 Watching you work such large sections of canvas through a relatively small sowing machine, while at the same time... 😯 working with the camera footage was very impressive! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge my friend - Cheers!.

Absolutely amazing skills Simon. As has been said a few times, never thought I would be so riveted to a sewing program! But well done. You must be really proud to camp in it. I have only just come across your stuff and am an ardent follower.

You are a man of many talents. Fantastic job on the tent. That sewing machine of yours must be a horse. I have a dickens of a time just sewing jean seams. Simon, I love your canoe trips. It's like taking a nerve pill for me. When I can't sleep I just ride along with you through the waterways. It is so relaxing. Your canoe is stunning.

Great Job Sir, It's been a couple decades since I made mine for my families canoe and winter camping trips. Heavy to haul but well worth it when it storms or the winter winds blow. Thank You for sharing. I am about to begin my second. This one will be of nylon ripstop for my motorcycle camping trips. The awning area for the bike on rainy nights will be great. Velcro for my removable tub floor was the best thing I could do and I'll be repeating that with this one. I wish you good times and sound sleep filled nights in your tent. Hoka Hey

Nicely done, sir. You do have a talent. Your material cost is what it is, but your time spent to make it offsets any other cost, and the pride you have in doing it yourself makes the project worth it. Bragging rights have immeasurable value, and the green hue people will take on from envious thoughts will make the time taken that much more satisfying. I was waiting for you to say "chuffed", and when you did I chuckled. I do love that phrase. If you were to make one for a friend, considering the time and expense........hell, he or she would have to be an extremely good friend, and they would appreciate it all the more; they would treasure and value it with each use, bringing to mind the treasured friendship with each pitching and striking of the tent.....every time the toggles were used, the poles sleeved and the zippers zipped, knowing you stitched each seam and toggle, and the memories brought to mind. A truer friend could not be known. I'm sure you'll find great satisfaction with each use, and deservedly so. Keep up the good work.
