Thanks for the neat video. At first i wanted to issue you a statement of charges for deliberately damaging a piece of your TA-50 issue. haha You forgot to mention when you open the box with your shelter halves in it the musty canvas smell will immediately take you back to your days in basic training.
my puptent is dated from 1956 and has buttons instead of snaps. it would be my preferred kind of shelter but it's just too heavy. especially after the rain (20lbs or so just for the shelter, if wet) a very good tent for the backyard or for truck drivers, bad choice for backpackers. atb Markus
as long as its stakes right and facing the right direction..with a good walking staff as the center pole it does fine..if caught out in high winds in wide open area i simply wrap the tarp and ond me and hunker down till the weather passes
Super, this is one of the better once versions. Can you tell me were i can get one of them? Here in germany they offer only the version with normaly knobs, and i think your tent is much bigger than the tents here. Many Greatings and be prepared. Ander
Man, I guess Im just a pussy, but if I'm gonna carry canvas, stakes, etc, Im gonna carry an honest to god tent that will keep MOSQUITOS OUT. I live in southern Illinois, and here, them damn things can steal 50% of your blood volume in a couple hours (DEET or no)! lol

cool piece of history. I just had this conversation with my father in-law last weekend.
Oh man, I got rid of mine years ago. I wish I'd have kept it now!
how does it perform in high winds with no trees?

yep we got them pretty bad in south alabama too..thats why this tent is usually used in the late fall when no bugs are out
What is the weight of the combined shelter halves?
+Mickey Authement as a pure guess without setting up and mesureing it i would say 40 to 48 inch i think..thanks for the comment safe journeys
thanks
