Building a Wall Tent Platform with Rough Sawn Lumber

I really enjoy watching you and Gracie. At 83, so many body parts no longer work well, I am living the Maine life vicariously through you.

You can hang a tarp over the top of this tent and it should keep the rain out until you can get your problem resolved. Good luck.

If you're still looking for a wall tent, check out Jay Legere's channel. His tent has been up 5 years in the Canadian wilderness and it's still going strong, keeps him warm at -40. He got it from the Wall Tent Shop.

I'm from Maine and I do repairs on tents. I felt so bad when I saw all that leaking. I would think that if the company saw your video they would tell you to keep that one instead of going through the process of packing it and shipping it out and send you another one that hopefully doesn't leak. Best of luck to you. time to find out if you'll ever order from that company again.

One thing is 100% gracie loves you😂😂😂😂she is very persistant when she wants something.i loveeee watching you guys.makes me want a dog.❤they truly are good company

MUCH respect for holding your own and not caving to the outside influences of the world!!!!!! One of the main, (no pun intended lol) reason I sub'd

God is with you!! You're a great person. I love to watch your show. Thank you.....

Scotch guard, Brother! Literally have a Walmart tent I have used for 20 plus years for hunting that has never had one drop of water get through it. And I live in the South where rain is a part of hunting/camping. Make sure its dry and clean, literally just spray it on in sections. Do at least 2 coats. Keep driving on, love the videos and look forward to the progress.

Thank you Cory for including us in this journey. The tent's performance was disgraceful actually - a very shoddy piece of work to have manufactured. And all the extra work as well as the disappointment. We all need stuff that we buy to just work, don't we? Anyway, one of the reasons I love watching your videos is to see how tidy and methodical you are. Tidy mind translates to tidy workspace and camp. Hope the tent works out alright with the company.

Man! No flies on you! You are a hard worker.

Wow Cory, what a nice wood Mizer that your friend has! Hello Cory, I can't wait to see the wall tent up, so you can get started. Awe little wet Gracie! I just love that pup!! Cory, you're getting the rain, and we in Missouri need that rain so badly, it keeps by passing us!! or we get a little rain, but with the winds it dries it up fast. Awe Cory, that is horrible with the leaks in the tent! Praying that something will work out with this tent, and they will take care of this. We are seeing the leaks as your videoing it, so we see it firsthand. Cory, keep your chin up! remember God is still in control of all and sometime when things keep going downhill, we get discouraged I know I do. Keep looking up to the Lord even in these discouraging times. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. Praying for you Cory and Gracie.❤

I love the sound of the rain on the tent. It takes me back to when I was a kid and the green canvas tent we used back then in the 50's. Our tent would leak also, and my mom and dad went crazy keeping the coxs away from the walls. Once you touched those walls when it rained it would keep leaking. Send the tent back! You used your hard earned money for it. Spend a little more if you have to for another "good" tent. Maybe a different brand. You never know you may have to go through the winter and you will need a good tent. Don't be hard on yourself. You did not know the tent would leak. The homestead looked good after you did a little housekeeping. I think the old owl will be flying over keeping an eye on you and Gracie.

I luv the fact you found a bullet in one of the trees you were milling!!! I worked for a tree company in the late 90’s and while taking trees down for the town of Rockland I was 80ft up cutting a leader off for the crane to take away and in the crotch of the two leaders in the HUGE Elm tree my saw started sparking where the chain was cutting. So we readjusted the sling and once we got it to the ground the crane operator and my supervisor hacked into the crotch exposing a CANNON Ball!!! Rowland is at the mouth of the Penobscot River so safe to assume 150yrs prior during some situation a boat fired for some reason or the fort across the river mouth did and that’s where it ended up. Really cool no matter how it got there but some of the things you find inside trees are truly amazing like a bullet!!!

Love your shows. You and Gracie make a perfect pair. About the negative,no worries just let it roll off your back, and seriously the best of us know and can see that Miss Gracie is very well loved, fed ,and greatly taken care of. I myself am very impressed at how hard you work and that your always on the move to keep busy. So unlike the young people today that don’t want to help them selves.I look forward to seeing you and Gracie on your adventures. Im a great grandmother and I hope my lil boys grow up this strong.Take care young man and be safe in those woods hunting horns. Shannon Kasevich

You should do some research on seasoning a canvas tent. "Tent seasoning refers to the process of soaking and drying an untreated canvas tent multiple times in order to make it water-resistant by encouraging the cotton fibers of the canvas to swell, sealing the seams and needlework." I hope this helps. I really enjoy your videos.

Corey I would highly recommend a Walton from Davis wall tents out of Denver Colorado I have used them on hunts with my son out there they are fantastic they're not cheap but the quality is unsurpassed like anything else you get what you pay for

Once the tent dries out get three or 4 cans of Camp Dry or other silcone spray and keep spraying the fabric. It will waterproof it. You'd be surprised how well that works.

Gracie just wants her daddy's attention at the wrong time, lol!! That would be very frustrating to have your brand new tent leak like that!! I hope it all gets straightened out soon. Take care and God Bless you and Gracie always

I can remember that if you have a canvas wall tent it needs to be treated with waterproof spray and nothing should be touching it. When I was younger my neighbor would put his up every year and he would treated with spray outside and inside.

I have 2 Kodiak canvas tents and have been happy with both. They suggest wetting them and letting them dry a few times before camping in them to tighten the weave of the duck canvas. This has worked for me. Haven said that I would just throw a tarp over the top for the summer. The reason being I wish i had done this with my first one. After a month of use in the spring with a lot of rain and pollen from the trees it got stained pretty bad. It still works fine but it would look a lot better now had I tarped it. Keep up the hard work.
