Ponte Alto usually runs an encampment. Being your first <br>Pennsic, you would not need a canvas tent for that. A nylon would do if space <br>and storage are an issue. The Baronial encampment is perfect for first timers, <br>and even for seasoned Pennsic goers. It is very pleasant environment and there <br>are no requirments for specific style tents. <br><br>Of course, if you already have a group to camp with, and they require canvas, <br>that's a whole different matter. If what you are looking is canvas that is easy <br>to pack, transport and store, I would recomment Fall Creek Sutlers. Here is the <br>link: <a href="http://www.fcsutler.com/fccanvas.asp">http://www.fcsutler.com/fccanvas.asp</a>
Look at the standard tent wall. It is perfect for one person (or two although
cozy), it is canvas, it looks right, and it is less expensive than most of the
tents you are going to find elsewhere. You can make your own poles very
inexpensively. And because the poles are short (and the center one breaks in
two), they are easy to transport and store.
Of course, it is not a ger, if that's what you have your heart set to. But it's
a great tent, sturdy, and dependable. I have seen those little guys withstand
the worst Pennsic storms, and that's saying something.
True, they are used very much by the Civ War reenactors, but they do resemble
many of the period tents anyway, so they look and feel right. And nothing beats
camping in canvas.
I hope that this helps.
Regards,
Belphoebe
