I’ve done some research on Cabela’s tents. They actually source some of their tents from well-known brands like Eureka and Outfitter. Both have a solid reputation for durability and quality!

That’s interesting! I’ve used Eureka tents in the past, and they’ve always held up well in rain. How’s Outfitter’s reputation?

Outfitter tends to have mixed reviews. Some love their tents for the price, while others have had issues with seams leaking. It’s hit or miss, honestly.

So, if you’re considering an Outfitter tent, it might be worth checking specific reviews for the model you’re looking at.

Has anyone tried the tents that are branded as Cabela’s? I’m curious if the quality is significantly different from the original manufacturers.

I thought the same! Generally, branded tents are similar, but I found Cabela’s own tents to be a bit pricier without much extra quality. Anyone else feel this way?

I agree with you, @berrylaura. Cabela’s tents are often priced high, but they’re decent for weekend camping. It’s really about how much you’re ready to spend.

Even though price can be a concern, you can sometimes find sales on Cabela’s tents. Definitely worth keeping an eye on their website during off-seasons!

Good point! Clearance sections can have some great deals. Have any of you scored an amazing tent deal during a sale?

I’ve actually found some old-school tents on clearance that are still top-notch. You just have to be patient and check back frequently!

It’s also worth noting that some users have had different experiences depending on where the tent was made. Some models were manufactured overseas, and the quality can vary.

That’s true! Any ideas on which models to avoid?

Honestly, I’d stay away from anything that’s on the lower end of their price range. Sometimes you get what you pay for, right?

Cabela’s offers a variety of tents! The Alaskan Guide series is great for extreme conditions, while the Cabin tents are perfect for family camping. It’s worth considering your needs based on the weather and the number of campers.

For solo camping, the Cabela’s ultralight tents are amazing. They pack small and offer just enough space for one. I took my ultralight tent on a backpacking trip last summer, and it was perfect!

Agreed! The XPG series makes it easy for first-time campers. Plus, the weight is manageable for hikes.

Does anyone have experience with the Cabela’s 4-person tents? I am curious if they really fit four adults comfortably! I’ve had a tough time finding one that meets that requirement.

I’ve used one and it fits 4 adults, but snugly. It’s better for 3 people with gear inside. Just a heads up!
