Will update when I get it back. I wanted a little nicer fabric so we had to find a place that we could order it from. Took a while.

I emailed them in late January and was told they no longer manufacture Wildernest tents. I am very curious what you said to get them to agree to it. 😉 Can't wait to see the results!

New WildreNest tent owner here.. I emailed Bear Creek canvas a few weeks ago and they told me they cant do them anymore.. That's odd. My tent overall is in great condition. I even got the factory benches that were a option

A quick update on my Wildernest tent. We have done a test fit and it looks AMAZING! I wanted a couple minor alterations so I hope to have it fully installed in a few weeks. I opted to remove the end windows as I never used them and they seemed dumb to me... My tent maker has worked tirelessly to create an exact duplicate of the OG tent and we've made a number of discoveries in the process. Fortunately she will, in the end, have a really great pattern to make other new tents with for the mini-truck nests. I'll share her info when she's ready to make more! I also opted for a grey tent cloth because it fits WAY better with the color of my truck and 'nest and I'm hoping it shows dirt way less too... I'll update again when I've got it installed!

What did it cost you? Nice thick material? 4 season? My tent is pretty good shape.. just looking for a thicker material for winter camping.

It's going to end up costing around $1k once I get the final cost I'll let everyone know and update with Pictures. I ended up having it made in the original type material.

I finally have my replacement tent and it's installed! we learned a LOT in the process. 1) Quality Control at the factory must have been... interesting it seems as though not all 'nests are built the same 2) if you have the option of building the tent a tiny bit bigger, do it 3) the tent is NOT SQUARE, rectangular or any normal shape, the end walls are not triangular and getting the measurements off of the tent is difficult 4) a new tent is AMAZING to have it even smells nicer than the old one 5) grey helps keep some of the light out in the morning

Id like to get a newer tent made up. Possibly with a heavy duty canvas for winter camping. FR material. possibly put a little wood buring stove with chimney flap. I seen one on the FB group. I wish more people that have these tents would post more. I'm gonna be making a new Wildernest fb group to try and gather more info on these awesome toppers.

Looks very nice! did you refurb the topper yourself (not the tent--but the rest)? Also how difficult was the process of removing and reinstalling the tent?
