THE FORESTER TENT
FORESTER TENT: Another tent style built
with the outdoors in view and a fire in front, the Forester Tent was first used
by Daniel Beard, the founder of the Boy Scouts of America.
Colonel Whelen describes it as "one of the best tents devised for the chronic
woods loafer...who wishes to live close to nature and who objects to spending
any of his outdoor hours confined in a closed canvas cell. The Forester Tent
is the easiest and quickest to pitch...and with the exception of the Whelen lean-to,
it is the easiest to warm with a campfire in front."
The basic design is a sloped roof wedge tent with the front of the tent wider
than the rear. The front is seven feet wide, six feet tall and open, while the
rear is three feet wide, three feet tall, with a solid triangular wall. The length
is about eight feet.
