Camping In 40 Year Old Vintage Canvas Tent

  • We acquired an (at least) 40 year-old tent and I decided to camp out in it to give it a try. Most of my camping is with modern tents, so this one was a bit different from what I'm used to. They are durable I can say that for sure, but also quite heavy haha. Anyways, crazy neighbor came along on this trip in the yard (he was helping with the house and joined in for the video)

      I prefer camping from Sunday to Wednesday. Far less people and fr less traffic on the highways.
      I prefer camping with no amenities. I do not want to see any other humans at all, except for the people in my group. I have also gone camping alone. In this case I still want to see no other people. This is the whole idea of "getting away from it all" and "roughing it" ;-)

    A Klepper tent, very high quality. They originated folding kayaks which became wildly popular in Germany and Europe, the outdoor/Alpine movements of the 20's and 30's. Klepper tents were OEM supplier to VW Westfalia camper van kits for many years.
    I have a 1972 FolBot(folding boat), Klepper's main competitor. My FolBot was built by two Korea vets and sailed across Lake Erie to Canada from Ohio 16 times, about 55 miles at night. They were both in their 60's in those days, really great guys. When the last one passed away in the late 90's, the family came to settle his estate and a friend of mine saw it sticking out of a dumpster. I grabbed it within seconds of the news.
    FolBots were setup on the decks of small British submarines in WWII and proceeded to bomb a strategic bridge in France, most of the commandoes perished. (see "Cockleshell Heroes)

    Yes, you're absolutely right. Klepper is a German company from the Town of Rosenheim. They've been making folding kayaks and tents since 1905. If I'm correct this is a Klepper Sonnland.
    This tent is most likely from the 50s or early 60s. The tents in the late 60s and 70s had a different color scheme (Orange/Blue). It's definitely not older than then 1950s, because Klepper used wooden pegs and rods till the 1940s.
    Klepper stopped making tents like this in in 1975 But they still make formidable folding kayaks.

I set it up in the back yard and slept in it all summer and fall! It weighed a million pounds to a 4th grader. I went into heat stroke during the 112°F day,s and stayed uncomfortably warm as heck at night! It survived some KANSAS thunderstorms w our 70 mph wind gusts. It was a complete BLAST during golfball, baseball size hail storms.... yes...w me in it. Makes sense since it survived Vietnams storms. (The early 80s were a different time) 😂 Although my parents made me come in once the tornado sirens went off! They sure don’t make things like that anymore! Thanks for this video!
