Baker Campfire Canvas Tent Build, Part Two.

In this video, I finish a long awaited home build project – to make a canvas Baker campfire tent. Used since the mid 1800s by the early fur traders and voyageurs and given a new lease of fame by the legend Bill Mason, the Baker tent is perfect woodsman’s tent for all seasons.

Join me as I complete the build by stitching the panels together, add toggles, loops and tie-outs and make the poles. Then head out to the woods to try it out.

I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
