Wall Tent <\/b> A very roomy and comfortable tent, usually used for extended or semi-permanent camps. In hot climates, a \u2018fly\u2019 is pitched over the roof, reflecting some of the sun\u2019s heat and allowing air to circulate. In winter, the tent can run a stovepipe through an asbestos ring in one wall, so a stove can heat the tent. Extremely heavy, but is usually packed in by horse or canoe. The weight can be reduced somewhat by cutting trees on site to make the tent poles.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
