The PlayDo Cotton Canvas teepee Tent is a monstrous, bombproof shelter. It’s much more suited for use as a basecamp than a quick temporary tent. There’s enough space inside of it to fit a large family, or an expedition team and all of their gear while still having enough space to stay comfortable. It’s a great choice for hunters or people who plan on spending a long time outdoors and need a semi-permanent shelter.
Due to its sheer mass, you’re probably going to need to split it up into individual parts to carry, or throw it on the back of a mule.
Our Overall Review
We have thoroughly tested - and read reviews from other experts and users. In summary, this is what we think:
Things we like:
-
Massive size allows you to fit a lot of people or a lot of gear into a single structure. -
Heavy-duty canvas material is tough enough to withstand any weather you throw at it.
-
PVC groundsheet prevents water from seeping in, no matter how wet it gets.
-
Everything is reinforced, zippers, pole sprockets and all.
Things we don't like:
-
The heavy-duty construction means it weighs a lot. -
Much more expensive than less intensive options.
-
The cotton will mold if it is put away wet and not dried in a couple days.
-
It is time consuming to stake out all of the fly lines.
-
Can be a struggle to pack back up and fit into the bag after it has been set up.
