Thirty years sounds like a long time, yet it seems to have passed in the wink of an eye. We started out with a simple goal, to make the very best quality tents possible and to treat folks the way we’d want to be treated ourselves. We called our company Panther Primitives and we backed our tents with the best warranty on the market and a guarantee of complete satisfaction on all our products (see page 4 of this catalog). Today we’re still running things by that same simple formula. Some of our earliest tents are still in service, and many of our customers have become life-long friends. The old adage “Time flies when you’re having fun” couldn’t be more true than it is in our case. Thanks for your business over the years. We promise to work hard to earn it for years to come! Sincerely, The Darbys -1- HISTORY’S BEST TENTS More than just a play on words, “History’s Best Tents” is our motto! It’s the standard that we’ve set for ourselves and it comes from our commitment to make the very best tents you can find anywhere. Consider the steps that your Panther tent goes through before we send it out to you. First, we select only top grade army duck for our tentage, and after the finishing mill applies the treatment, a series of quality tests are run. Next, each batch of canvas undergoes additional testing here at our factory before we make a single cut. Once production has begun, every sewing machine operator fills out a quality checklist on each tent he or she makes. Like anyone who takes pride in their craft, our sewers sign their work upon completion. Finally, your tent is inspected, assigned a quality control tracing number, and packed into a box for shipment to you. We do it all under our own roof, never farming out any of our work to subcontractors. In-house manufacturing helps us monitor quality from the first cut to the final packaging. We have an extremely talented sewing crew that we’re very proud of. They use only heavy duty industrial sewing machines (some as wide as 42”) with customized attachments to build our tents. Their skill and dedication to make only the best is the reason that all Panther tents come to you with a LIFETIME WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY. Our overriding emphasis on QUALITY has led to Panther becoming the world’s largest manufacturer of historical tents. (We have customers in 45 countries on 6 continents!) It’s why we can offer you our famous GUARANTEE and TENT WARRANTY (Pg. 4) and it’s why Panther tents are preferred over all brands of historical shelters. Most importantly, it’s the reason that so many of our customers return for their second, third and fourth tents. Folks know they’re getting the best in materials and workmanship with a Panther tent because we never skimp on either one! We’ll make you a tent you’ll be proud to own. “I just wanted to let you know how very much our family appreciates the quality of the tent you made for us five years ago. It’s weathered monsoons so severe that we watched cars sink up to their axles in mud. It’s also survived gale force winds that blew every tent around us down. I always recommend Panther to newbies if they plan to stay warm, dry and happy in all conditions. Sincerely, F.K. - El Dorado Hills, CA -2- 5 REASONS TO BUY YOUR TENT FROM PANTHER #1) THE MOST REINFORCING Nobody even comes close to building a shelter with as much attention to reinforcing the stress areas as Panther. Our tents set the standard for strength and durability. Over 30 years of camping experience has shown us that features like our full length ridge line reinforcements, while taking more time to install, WILL make a huge difference in how your tent holds up. Our obsession with quality and the resulting reinforcements means that a Panther tent is the most durable you can get! #2) STRONGER SEAMS All of the seams in your Panther tent will be flat felled, with at least two rows of stitching. Roof seams are actually two rows of stitching through 4 layers of canvas (double stitched flat felled seam). This is the strongest and most water resistant way to join two pieces of canvas. (See page 8 for a diagram of this seam) #3) ACCURATE SIZES! These days one must be careful when shopping for a specific sized shelter. The size listed in a catalog may be the “cut size” rather than the “finished size.” Too many times we’ve heard from folks who’ve been fooled by this tactic and received a tent much smaller than they thought they were ordering. A marquee 18’x21’ can end up being more like 17’x20’ and a 10’x15’ wall tent that they cut a 15’ ridge pole for comes through at only about 14’2” long! All of our tents are listed in “finished sizes” so you know what you’re getting for your money. None of them will vary more than a couple inches from the stated size. #4) YOU GET MORE FOR YOUR MONEY Many of the options that you’d pay extra for elsewhere (like double doors on wall tents) are standard features of Panther tents, and when you buy one of our tents you get a complete support package along with it. (see pg. 4) Add in our OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, Warranty, and In House Quality Controls and you definitely get more for your money from Panther! #5) THE BEST GUARANTEE We’re famous for our tent guarantee! You get it in writing on page four of this catalog. Worldwide, Panther tents are consistently chosen for their high quality, and we take great pride in making them for you.

When you read what our customers have to say about their Panther tents, you’ll see why, when quality counts, folks count on Panther tentage. “You have exceptional quality in your tents. We have 3 and have been using them for 10 years. Lots of terrible storms and they are still standing.” M.H. - Axton, VA -4- LOVING WHAT WE DO Many things go into making an incredible tent, and you’ll find all the technical aspects of our tentmaking detailed over the next few pages. But it’s loving what we do that gives us the passion for this business. We’re right out there with you at historical events, living in a tent at least 8 weeks out of every year. We’ve personally tested our shelters in rain, snow, sleet, sub-zero temperatures, blistering heat and high winds, and have done it in the name of FUN! Nothing beats first hand experience, when it comes to advising folks on primitive camping. That’s why our customer service reps get to attend events with us as part of their training. They have fun too! “Work” isn’t seen as a four-letter word around here. It’s more like an adventure! It’s pretty neat to see our tents on display when we visit customers like Colonial Williamsburg, Old Fort Niagara or one of the many other historical sites or museums that have made Panther their choice for tentage. It’s FUN to grab a bag of popcorn and sit down to watch one of the movies that Panther products have been included in. Some recent releases include “GODS & GENERALS”, “TEARS OF THE SUN”, “THE LAST SAMURAI”, “HILDALGO”, “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 1, 2 and 3”, “THE CAPTIVES”, “SECONDHAND LIONS”, “THE ALAMO”, “THE NOTE-BOOK”, “RAY” and HBO’S “DEADWOOD”. Our love for this hobby has translated into a level of superior quality products and customer service that is the stuff of legends around the living history community. We’d like to say THANKS for the opportunity to share it with you. Panther tents starred in Disney’s “Hidalgo”. Viggo Mortensen and Omar Shariff also appeared in the film! “...please find enclosed three 8x10 black and white photographs of the tents you made for us for the feature film entitled “The Stars Fell on Henrietta.” As Jack Taylor and Henry Bumstead have said over and over, your workmanship is the best and it shows. Thank you for all your help.” L.T. - Warner Bros. Inc. -5- Our friendly customer service reps get first hand experience in setting up the many different tents that we offer. It’s just one more way to insure that you get the best possible service when you call Panther! “The staff was very helpful with setting up my tent order, including custom items. J.E. - Dublin, PA WE START OUT WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY CANVAS! We’ve spent a lot of time researching and comparing canvasses. As a matter of fact, we maintain a year round test rack which enables us to compare the performance and durability of 13 varieties of canvas at once. The four types that we offer you for our tents are unquestionably the best canvasses on the market today, and our customers will confirm it! All four begin with a base canvas that is 100% cotton army duck. In an army duck the yarns are twisted before being woven into canvas. The result is a tighter weave and increased strength. Our army duck is 54x42, 2 ply cotton. We use only 36” wide material. It’s a lot easier to make a tent from 60” wide material because it requires fewer seams. Unfortunately, it also leaves you with a droopy looking tent. Using 36” wide canvas means more seams and more labor, but it gives you a shelter that holds its shape better with less bagging and sagging. It also gives you more ties than normal for added flexibility. Before we even make the first cut, our canvasses are treated at the mill. A factory treatment is done by professionals with special equipment. The result is a more uniform and high quality finish, and a tent with better water shedding capabilities. All our canvasses are treated for mildew resistance. Does this mean they will never mildew or turn gray? No. Any canvas will mildew under the right conditions, and white canvasses will turn dark when exposed to the elements over time, but the treatments on these four canvasses resist mildew and darkening better than other cotton canvasses. CANVAS SAMPLES Give us a call at 1-800-487-2684 if you’d like to test out our canvasses. We’ll rush samples out to you, so you can put them to the test! Once you’ve held them under running water, lit a match to the flame retardant ones, etc. you’ll see that they are the best available cotton canvasses anywhere! THE GIANT XYLOPHONE Actually it’s our canvas testing rack. We use it to monitor and compare fiber breakdown, color fastness, water and mildew resistance 12 months a year. Our in-house testing is one of the ways we can insure that your tent is made of the best canvas on the market. -6- YOU MAY CHOOSE BETWEEN FOUR CANVASSES FOR YOUR TENT! FLAME RETARDANT 10.38 oz. Army Duck This treatment is flame retardant, water repellent, and mildew resistant with a shrinkage factor of approximately 7%. This canvas is very white and holds its color extremely well. The flame retardancy is just that, a RETARDANT! There’s no such thing as a FLAMEPROOF tent. Please exercise caution with any canvas when near fires, wood stoves, etc. This canvas meets California Fire Marshal’s Code CPAI-84; the standard by which flame retardant treatments are measured. Check with your Attorney General’s office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state! NOTE! Flame retardancy will diminish within a few years. How long it will last on your tent will vary with use and exposure to the elements. See page 10 for more information. Colors! This canvas is also available in Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Black, Purple and Khaki! It’s the material we use to make our colorful Medieval tents, and it’s also available by the yard (Pg. 66). See inside front cover for an approximation of these colors. SUNFORGER® 10.38 oz. Army Duck Sunforger® is a fantastic treatment that combines water repellency, marine finishing and boatshrunk application. The result is a strong, but lightweight canvas that sheds water, resists mildew, mold, algae, and fungi, and has a smaller shrinkage factor. Because it is a “Dry Application” finish, tents made of Sunforger are significantly lighter in weight than tents made of other canvasses. FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER® 10.38 oz. Army Duck This canvas has the same properties as Sunforger®, but with a flame retardancy added. This canvas is lighter in weight than the above flame retardant, but just as strong. It is not a bright white like the other but it breathes better and has a smaller shrinkage factor. The flame retardancy is only a RETARDANT! There’s no such thing as a FLAME-PROOF tent. Please exercise caution with any canvas when near fires, woodstoves, etc. This canvas meets California Fire Marshal’s Code CPAI-84; the standard by which flame retardant treatments are measured. You should check with your Attorney General’s office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state! NOTE! Flame retardancy will diminish within a few years. How long it will last on your tent will vary with use and exposure to the elements. See page 10 for more information. FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER® 13 oz. Army Duck THE ULTIMATE! This extra heavy duty canvas is the same superior treatment as above, applied to an army duck that is 25% heavier! The result is a SUPER-CANVAS for extra harsh climates and a longer lasting tent. On average, 13 oz. SUNFORGER has 30% more tare strength than the 10.38 oz. version. This is the toughest canvas on the market! -7- THE SEAMS ON PANTHER TENTS ARE THE STRONGEST THAT YOU CAN FIND ANYWHERE! Anytime we join two pieces of canvas, they get two lines of lockstitching to hold them together. Roof areas are done with the double stitched flat felled seam. This means two rows of lock-stitching through 4 layers of canvas each. (see below) THE DOUBLE STITCHED FLAT FELLED SEAM IS THE STRONGEST WAY TO JOIN TWO PIECES OF CANVAS. There is no such thing as a raw edge on any Panther tent. All edges are either hemmed or in a seam for extra strength and better appearance. The end edges of our wall tents and wedge tents are lapped and tucked under. This creates a “sill edge” effect and works best for shedding water. A SEAM SHOULDN’T DOUBLE AS READING MATERIAL! Ours don’t. We’re talking about the brand along the selvage of Sunforger canvasses. With other manufacturers, you’re likely to see it over and over on the inside of your tent. We run 10,000 yards of Sunforger at one time, and we do NOT let the mill put that branding on our material. Therefore all our seams are free of writing. NEEDLES AND THREAD A round needle does not cut the canvas fibers like a triangular one does. We use only round needles to avoid this fabric damage and help the thread fill the needle hole more completely. We use a #12 poly-core, cotton wrapped thread on our lodges. The cotton threads just aren’t strong enough. The poly threads are strong but they can cut the canvas fibers, and poly thread won’t swell to fill the needle holes, and leakage can result. With a poly-core, cotton wrapped thread you get the best of both types. It is much stronger than ordinary cotton thread and it lasts longer. The cotton wrap swells to fill the needle holes thus preventing leakage! “Due to quality of materials used for re-enacting history I would recommend your products as well as the quality of your tents as far superior to anything on the market” D.S. - Omaha, NE -8- PANTHER PEG LOOPS ARE THE TOUGHEST ON THE MARKET Peg loops are made of heavy duty rolled canvas and spaced at about 24” intervals around the base of your tent. We make these right here in the shop and everyone of them is a minimum of 4 layers of tightly woven army duck canvas. These super strong loops are the sturdiest primitive loops you can get! If you’re not concerned with being totally authentic, you can request nylon peg loops for your tent. These are white, so they won’t be all that noticeable. The advantage of nylon is that it lasts longer than cotton and is far less susceptible to rot. There is a minimal charge for nylon peg loops. Call to find out the cost for your tent, if you’d like this option. Our ties are 100% cotton webbing, which we place very liberally on all tents. Our policy is “better too many ties than too few” and they are spaced an average of 24” apart on most shelters. Loops on the walls of Panther wall tents and on tent flys are 1” heavy duty cotton webbing with a test weight capacity of 130 lbs! DELIVERY TIME The time it takes to make your tent varies with the time of year. There are times when we have shelters in stock. When they are not in stock you should allow 3-5 weeks, but during the Spring the wait is longer. Order early and give us plenty of advance notice if you have a special date that you need your tent. We always have to turn some orders away during the peak season, but that’s only because we refuse to rush any order through at the cost of quality! LAYAWAY! - You can put a tent on our layaway plan by making a payment once each month for up to 6 months! See “How To Order” in the back of the catalog for details. CUSTOM ORDERS We often do custom work for folks who want something different. If you have something you want a quote on, YOU MUST SEND IN A SKETCH with measurements and we’ll send you a price. Trying to explain something custom over the phone doesn’t always work, so you’ll have to send the drawing to take advantage of our guarantee! Custom orders require a 50% deposit. Custom orders must be placed via mail, complete with your sketch. No returns are allowed on any custom order that is made to your specifications. If you’d like to try making your own shelter, we sell our fine canvasses, ties, and loop material by the yard. (See Page 66) THE COLOR OPTION Red, Blue, Black, Green, Yellow, Khaki and Purple canvas is available for our Medieval customers. This canvas is the same type as the flame retardant canvas described at the top of page 7. When you order the color option, your tent MUST be made from this type of canvas. Sunforger canvasses are not available in colors. Color option tents are custom order, so we’ll need a sketch of what you’d like your tent to look like, and a 50% deposit with your order. You’ll find pricing in a column beside each tent’s price chart. The price is for either one solid color or alternating strips of canvas approx. 33” wide. The color option price is in addition to the price of the basic tent in flame retardant canvas. (Please note that on rectangular marquees, alternating bands of color will not normally come out even, like on some other tent styles). If you want a customized color combination, we’ll quote you a price based on the sketch that you send us. -9- TERMINOLOGY SOD CLOTH - A 10” turn in at the bottom of your walls or curtain to help seal gaps on uneven ground. We recommend this for most tents. GROUND CLOTH - A large floor for the interior of your tent. This keeps moisture from coming up through the ground inside your tent. When used with a sod cloth, the ground cloth overlaps to completely seal out wind, moisture and insects. We offer these in regular and our SUPER GROUND CLOTH on page 59. STOVE HOLE An insert sewn into your tent that is heat resistant up to 1,000º Farenheit. Necessary for any wood stove usage. These come with an outside cover flap that ties open or closed. (See page 65 for a full description of our stove hole inserts )Specify the diameter of your stove pipe when ordering and send a sketch of where you’d like placement. NOTE: STOVE HOLES ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON TENTS MADE OF ONE OF OUR FLAME RETARDANT CANVASSES. PEAK GROMMETS - We put brass, rolled ring spur washer grommets on the ridge line of all marquees, wall tents, wedges, flys and any other tent that takes a ridge pole. These grommets enable your upright pins to stick out the top of your tent. The inside diameter of these grommets is 1/2 inch. SCALLOPS Sometimes called dagging, this is the ornamental edging along the edges of a tent. We offer you 8 styles and 16 colors of braid on page 14. FLAME This is available on all our tents, in three different RETARDANCY canvasses (See pg. 7). This makes the canvas RETARDANT to flame, meaning that it WILL burn as long as a flame is touching it. It will not, however, support its own flame, so when the source is removed, the canvas will extinguish itself. There is no such thing as a FLAME PROOF tent. Please exercise caution when near fires, wood stoves, etc. All three of our flame retardant canvasses meet the industry standard of CPAI-84. When you order a flame retardant tent from us we mark it on an identification tag so you have proof for the fire marshal! Flame retardancy treatments will diminish within a few years. How long it will last on your tent will vary, depending on usage and exposure to the elements. ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR TENT QUESTIONS! They’re just a phone call (1-800-487-2684) or an e-mail ([email protected]) away! “You would have to bake a cake and send it with the order to make your service any better.” J.J. - Clinton, MS -10- COMPLETE SET UP PACKAGES Save yourself the time and trouble of making poles, rope sets, etc! Our packages come with all the poles, ropes and tent stakes needed to set up your new home. Rope is top grade 3/8” manila with wooden sliders for tension adjustment. You’ll get enough of our iron stakes (see pg. 62) to set up your tent and a handy canvas carry bag for ropes & stakes. You can’t find better poles than these! We use our top grade kiln dried lumber (see below), and if a pole is over 8 feet long we automatically splice it for you and include our steel splicing sleeve. This way the package can be shipped via UPS. Marquee tents have both center uprights and any ridge pole longer than 8 feet spliced. If you do not wish to splice your poles just let us know and we’ll make them as one piece units. POLES FROM PANTHER With your tent you will receive instructions on what size poles are needed and how to make them. Also included is information on stakes & ropes. If you decide to make your own poles, wait until you get your tent before you cut. This insures a custom fit! However, if you choose our set up package (see above) your poles will be made for you of top grade kiln dried lumber. These tough wooden poles are the best we’ve seen. You’ll find that they provide peace of mind on those stormy nights! These are unfinished and ready for you to paint if you choose.

We use a rectangular marquee for our store at historical events. We can tell you from personal experience that they can’t be beat for dealer set-up. Today, more folks are using marquees for family camps. The high peak and walls make for the best headroom and useable space of any shelter. Nobody has put more thought into the design of marquee tents than Panther Lodges. Through our years of personal use we’ve been able to make constant revisions and adjustments that add flexibility and convenience to your tent. NOBODY HAS PUT MORE THOUGHT INTO THE DESIGN OF MARQUEE TENTS THAN PANTHER! THE SCALLOP GUARD One of the ornamental additions to any marquee is the colorful scallop that runs the perimeter of the tent. However, one of the problems you run into is windy conditions blowing rain under the edge of these. To combat this nusiance we’ve added a strip of canvas approximately as wide as the scalloping edge along the inside. Your curtains hang up in between this strip and the scallop, thus sealing out the wind and rain. THE CURTAINS One of the nicest features about the Panther marquee is the extra flexibility built in to the curtain design. A great deal of planning and practical application has gone into developing this concept so that you will be able to get the most for your tent dollar. All of the other marquees we had seen had curtains that attached to a stationary “D-Ring” or tied to a sewn in tie. This method usually meant two things. First was that your curtains always had to stay in the same place. If your door overlap was on the corner of the tent, that’s where it always had to be. Secondly, putting up and taking down the curtains was quite difficult and time consuming. This was especially true for the tie method where you must hold up the curtain and tie off each point at the same time. We developed a method to eliminate both of these problems. The Panther marquee canopy comes with a 3/16” cotton rope strung tightly around the perimeter between the scallop and guard flap. Your curtains hang on this rope by small brass S-Hooks. Obviously the curtains go up and down much more quickly, and you can move the curtains around to position them anywhere you want. This means that your door can be at a corner, in the middle of one side, or anyplace in between, depending upon your wishes. You may substitute snap hooks for the brass S-Hooks if you’d like to. CALL US FOR YOUR MARQUEE QUESTIONS! 1-800-487-2684 “It’s the best designed and constructed marquee tent I’ve ever used, or seen from other sources.” J.A. - Hagerstown, MD -12- Check Out Our Website! www.pantherprimitives.com Our curtains are made up of vertical wall panels for added OUR UNIQUE CURTAIN DESIGN GIVES YOU MORE STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY strength, and each curtain overlaps 17” with ties inside — VERTICAL WALL PANELS — and out. This systems gives you maximum protection from — QUICK AND EASY S-HOOK & ROPE SYSTEM — — MULTIPLE DOORS ARE STANDARD — the weather. All rectangular and square marquees come with four curtains, so you can have as many as four doors! It is more work to make the extra curtains, rather than have one for the whole tent, but we’ve found that by having multiple curtains your flexibility of set-up is greater. A lot of times we’ll drop more than one side to get a breeze, and in the rain we’ll usually just drop one side curtain. On sunny days you may wish to use one of the curtains as a side canopy extending from the tent. We put brass grommets on two corners of the curtains so that you can do just that! POLE TIES are available for $25.00 extra, and attach midway up at each pole. Be aware that if you use pole ties, your curtains must always stay in the same position. In other words, you lose the flexibility of moving the doors around. The only exception to this rule is if you order the seam engineered style (Pg. 16). MARQUEE REINFORCEMENTS & FEATURES Peak end double layer reinforcement. Peak grommets are standard Corner seams get an extra layer to prevent stretching. Ridge line reinforcement strip runs entire length to eliminate abrasion from your ridge pole. Interior Ridge Line has 3 pole ties for stabilization Each pole position has a ½” brass grommet set through multiple layers of canvas and heavy duty webbing. Curtains hang between two valances for added weather protection. Scallop or straight edge has 16 varieties of colored trim available! 17” overlap with ties inside and out Vertical wall panels add strength Heavy duty rolled canvas peg loops “Everywhere I go people stop to look over our tent and are always impressed by the quality of design and workmanship. Thank you for a great product” J.R. - York, PA John and Karen Burkett enjoy a moment in front of their Panther marquee. -13- WHAT ABOUT SLANTED WALLS? Slanted walls have grown in popularity over the last several years. One reason is that they increase your floor space significantly. Wooden chests, baskets and canvas bags full of camp gear can be stored next to the base of the wall without interfering with your original living area. They were used mostly in the 1700’s and earlier. The only drawback to the slant wall is that you can’t move the curtains around as freely. The doorway must stay in the center of the walls, and cannot be placed at the corners. SOD CLOTH AND MARQUEES One of the most beneficial options available on most tents is the 10” turn in flap at the base, called the sod cloth. It especially comes in handy on wall tents, wedge tents and pyramid (hunters) tents. Strangely enough it can actually be a 50/50 proposition on the marquee. Your perimeter poles will sit on top of the sod cloth unless you have slant walls. The positive side to this is that your wall curtain is held in place more firmly. The negative side is that the pole can push the sod cloth down into the mud and promote rotting in that spot! Therefore, you need an extra barrier UNDER the sod cloth to protect it. Please keep this information in mind when choosing options for a marquee! SCALLOPED EDGING You may choose from among the eight designs below for your marquee scallops. We also do custom designs on request. Send a sketch for pricing. Styles E and G are slightly extra, but all the other styles are included in the price of your tent.

CHOICES! CHOICES! WHICH CANVAS IS BEST FOR MARQUEES? Some prefer the flame retardant canvas for their marquee because it is so much whiter than other canvasses. Other folks like one of the Sunforgers® because they’re so much lighter in weight. We’ve tried both, and each has its own merits. Choose according to your own tastes. Our personal choice is Sunforger for stores (because of light coming through to illuminate the interior in the daytime) and flame retardant for living quarters (because there isn’t a high transparency factor for lights on the inside). Of course, the 13 oz. Sunforger Flame retardant is the best on the market for ANY type of primitive tent. While it may be more than you’d need for occasional use, we highly recommend it for merchants. For a full rundown on each type of canvas, see pg. 7. SPECIAL STOVE HOLE FLAP! We’ve designed a special 3’ wide piece of canvas with the stove hole sewn in 4 feet up for marquees. This eliminates the need for a stove hole in your marquee curtains and enables you to move your stove anywhere around the edge of your tent that you wish. It hangs in place just like the curtains. The cost for this special flap is $70.00. It’s available ONLY on flame retardant tents. Checkout our camp stove on page 64! MARQUEE POLE REQUIREMENTS Our Complete Set Up Packages (See pg. 11) provide you with all the poles you need to set up your tent. However, you’ll also get complete instructions on how to make your own poles, just in case you want to go that route. Ridge poles can be made from 2x4’s and the ridge support uprights can be 3x3’s or cut off tipi poles. 2x2’s can be used for the perimeter poles, or we can provide them (pg. 11). Never cut your poles until you have your tent to use as a guide. This insures a good custom fit. If you go with our standard sized marquee (6’ high walls) your perimeter poles will need to be 6’ long and your ridge support uprights will be 10’ long. (less the diameter of your ridge pole). 7’ walls are available for your marquee for $60 extra. This option is especially popular with traders because it provides easier access to the inside of the store for customers. If you choose this option your perimeter poles will need to be 7’ long and your two ridge uprights will be 11’ long. MEDIEVAL COLOR OPTION Many of our Medieval customers like to add color to their marquee. We offer Red, Blue, Black, Green, Yellow, Khaki and Purple in the “Flame Retardant” canvas. See page 9 for details! For ALL Your Tent Needs The Number To Call Is 1-800-487-2684 “I love the marquee you built for me. Makes a great trade tent. Your quality is second to none, which is refreshing in this day and age of quantity. Keep up the good work.” P.P. - Parmela, TX -15- THE SEAM ENGINEERING OPTION; IT’S FREE! If you like, you can have us “Seam Engineer” your tent. This is also called “Skeletal Framework Design”, and what it means is that your pole positions (grommets or loops) are placed at every seam instead of at measured intervals around the tent’s perimeter. If you request this option, it is no additional charge. Certain tents, like rounded or belled ones are made this way automatically by the very nature of their design, but you have a choice on certain sizes of tents that are square or rectangular. WHICH TENTS CAN BE SEAM ENGINEERED? Any square or rectangular tent whose dimensions are divisible by 3 can be seam engineered. For example, a 9’x12’ marquee can be seam engineered. The resulting tent would actually measure about 8’3”x11’ (3 panels of canvas wide x 4 panels of canvas long minus an allowance for seams). For your convenience, we’ve placed a * on the price chart beside any tent for which seam engineering is available. Please note that by choosing this option you will end up with a tent that is smaller than the normal size on the chart (see below). THE BENEFITS OF SEAM ENGINEERING All your roof seams will automatically line up with your wall seams, so your tent has a more symmetrical look. Also, because your poles are closer together, and because they are all lined up with your seams you can get a more rigid set up on a large tent such as a marquee. All of your support poles are about 33” apart from each other on this style of tent and only full width panels of canvas are used. THE DISADVANTAGES OF SEAM ENGINEERING Your tent will require more poles for set-up. For example, our standard 18’x24’ marquee takes 20 perimeter poles, but if it is “seam engineered” it needs 30. More importantly, because each panel of canvas is only about 33” wide after allowing for seams, the actual size of our 18’x24’ marquee becomes about 16’6”x22’ (8 panels long x 6 panels wide). Because canvas lots vary in width, these dimensions will vary. Here are the approximate dimensions of our marquees after they’ve been seam engineered. 9’x12’ becomes about 8’3”x11’ 15’x15’ becomes about 13’9”x13’9” 9’x15’ becomes about 8’3”x13’9” 15’x18’ becomes about 13’9”x16’6” 12’x12’ becomes about 11’x11’ 15’x21’ becomes about 13’9”x19’3” 12’x15’ becomes about 11’x13’9” 18’x18’ becomes about 16’6”x16’6” 12’x18’ becomes about 11’x16’6” 18’x24’ becomes about 16’6”x22’ CALL US to find out how many extra poles, ropes & stakes you’ll need and how much cost they will add to your set-up package. -16- RECTANGULAR MARQUEE PRICES Rect.

OVAL MARQUEES You see a lot of these sprouting up at rendezous and historical re-enactments. They’re not as space efficent as the rectangular marquee, (a 10’x14’ oval marquee has 30% less square footage than its rectangular counterpart), but the rounded ends make the tent very attractive. So, while you don’t see too many of these used for stores they’ve become quite popular for family camps!

Extra protection in a storm! $10.00 -18- “CLASSIC PITCH” TALL MARQUEES Many of the early marquees and pavilions had steeply pitched roofs, giving them a much higher ceiling. One reason for this was that the water repellency of these early fabrics wasn’t up to today’s standards, and the steeper slope of the roof facilitated quicker run off of rain and snow. The steeper slope also allowed our forefathers to eliminate the perimeter poles when needed and support the eaves with guy ropes only. Of course, this also meant that taller center poles and more set-up space were needed to erect the tent. We recommend sticking with the perimeter poles. Modern fabric treatments, limited set-up space and a preference for shorter poles have led to today’s marquee designs, with shorter peak heights. However, because it makes such a beautiful tent and it’s historically correct, we’re proud to offer it as an alternative to the lower peaked tents that you see at today’s events. Here’s an end view of a 15’x18’ Classic Pitch Marquee we used as our store. Roof seam painted on stripes are available, too! (See below) RECT. SIZE 10.38 oz.

If you are a merchant or camper who often goes to events alone, but you want the space of a marquee, our center pole design may be just what you’ve been looking for. The peak is supported by a single center pole instead of the standard three pole configuration. This means that you can set this up by yourself. No more asking for help raising the ridge pole! We’ve designed the peaks on this tent to be taller. The result is a nicer looking roof line and super quick drainage during rain showers!

(See pg. 23) TOLL FREE ORDERING 1-800-487-2684 -20- THE TRADER’S TENT This is a cross between a marquee and a wall tent. The ends of the roof are straight like a wall tent but the 6’ walls are detachable and move-able like our marquee tents. The peak is 10’ on this tent. The flat end means that it is MUCH EASIER to have a fly coming off the end of your tent than with a marquee. You’ll also have fewer perimeter poles to carry because you’ll only need them on the sides, and not on the ends. The tradeoff is a longer ridge pole. This design is authentic to at least the 1700’s and probably much earlier. The wall tent and the marquee are among the oldest types of tents around, and there were countless variations of each style. Our standard Trader’s Tent comes with a straight edge and no braid on the valance. If you’d like scalloping instead there is an extra charge. See page 14 for 8 scallop designs and 16 braid colors to choose from! See below for pricing. Constructed with the same reinforcements and design features as our marquee. 6’6” or 7’ walls for the sizes below costs $60.00 (This will also increase the ht. of your center poles).

It seems that there is no perfect solution, so we’ve developed three styles and listed the pros and cons of each one for you. ADD ON FLY WITH SCALLOPS For rectangular marquees ONLY, this fly extends 10 ft. beyond the end of your marquee. We make it slightly wider than your marquee, and it uses totally separate perimeter poles. You’ll need a 10’ ridge, another ridge support upright and a few perimeter poles (7-9 depending on size) to set this up. It is a little tricky to set up because one end of the ridge pole rests on top of the ridge pole for the marquee and this can be tough to get into place. You may need a stepladder! However, this style makes the best looking marquee fly around, and if you don’t mind the extra set up time, you’ll be pleased with all the extra room. For 10.38 oz. 13 oz.

It covers one entire side and extends approx. 8’ to 12’ past the eaves (depending on the size of your tent). You’ll need 2 to 5 perimeter poles to support the wider, flared out end. Again, the tricky part is the set up. You must align the fly grommets with those on the tent ridge line and spear them with the center upright pins. Then you’ll need screw on finials (use threaded rod for upright pins) and/or guy ropes to keep everything in place while raising the tent and using the fly. Fewer perimeter poles makes this fly an attractive alternative. It is advisable to use guy ropes on the opposite side of the marquee (from the peak to the ground) to counter the pulling action of the fly. “I have been using one of your tents for 8 years and love it!

Your service and quality is unequaled” J.L. - Newark, OH -23- MEDIEVAL TENTS THE SPOKE WHEEL CONCEPT Nobody can say with absolute certainty just exactly how the original Medieval pavilions were erected. Many people, citing period artwork, believe they did not use side poles. Some believe that the early pavilions didn’t rely solely on guy ropes to hold out the eaves. There are depictions of pavilions, still holding their full shape, with no ropes attached and just a center pole visible. How is this possible? The most logical answer is either a suspended wheel or spokes to support the eaves. We’ve experimented with both and concluded that the spoke wheel design is the better alternative. Set up is as easy as 1-2-3! 1 - Stake the bottom of the walls 2 - Raise the center pole into place 3 - Insert the spokes into the hub THAT’S IT! With this design, your spokes serve as rafters for easy storage of lightweight items. Ropes are added to the exterior eave loops for insurance against high winds. SPOKE WHEEL VS. PERIMETER POLES The obvious advantage of the spoke wheel design is the ease of transport. A bundle of spokes takes up far less room than several perimeter poles, and one person can erect the spoke wheel in about half the time it takes for a perimeter pole style. Also, the absence of the poles means more unobstructed floor space, and the spokes are perfect for supporting partition curtains. On the other hand, the use of perimeter poles gives you more places to hang things. By using our pole hooks (Pg. 63) on each pole, you can hang clothing, bags, etc. The spoke wheel can handle very light-weight items, but you should not hang or store anything very heavy on the spokes. Our spoke wheel pavilion design features a heavy duty laminated wooden hub and smooth sanded round poplar spokes. Double layered canvas pockets secure the other end of each spoke, and the peak of the tent has our usual superior reinforcing. The eave has an extra layer of reinforcing that runs the entire perimeter of the roofline. -24- MEDIEVAL TENTS (See pages 12-23 for our Marquee Tents with color option!) THE CAROUSEL PAVILION A beautiful round pavilion with two doorways for better ventilation. The Carousel comes complete with a sleeved center pole, hub, spokes, stakes and wind ropes. We generally make this as a one piece tent but detachable walls with snaps and D-Rings are available for an extra $65.00. Shape fitted floors are also available. We make them out of Sunforger canvas for minimum shrinkage, and they serve as a rough pattern for where to drive your stakes for set-up. These are also available in our “Super Ground Cloth” design (Pg. 59). Painted roof and wall seams are available in any of the acrylic paint colors shown on the inside front cover.

THE IMPERIAL PAVILION The perfect home when our Carousel Pavilion just isn’t quite big enough. It is basically two half spoke wheels connected by a middle section to form an oval living space. No perimeter poles are needed. The Imperial is made with detachable curtains, which are held in place by snaps and D-Rings. We install two archway door openings, opposite each other for ventilation. Each opening comes with a removable door flap that can be tied securely closed from inside or out. The walls are 6’6” tall, and they slant out two feet, to provide an extra 4 feet to the width and length of the tent base. (The 8x16 size is 12x20 at the base.) This beautiful pavilion comes complete with two sleeved center upright poles, hubs, spokes, stakes and wind ropes. We also offer a shape fitted floor made of Sunforger canvas or our Super Ground Cloth option (Pg. 59). These serve as a rough pattern for where to drive your stakes for set up.

THE HENRY VIII PAVILION The 400 pavilions erected at a 1520 meeting between Henry VIII and Francis I were so ornate that they were dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World. Our Henry VIII Pavilion is taken from artists’ recordings of this summit, known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Two complete “Carousel” spoke wheel pavilions, connected by a hallway, create the most beautiful pavilion anywhere! Archway door openings with removable door flaps grace opposite sides of the hallway for your main entrances. We’ve also installed an extra overflap-facing style door in the rear of each round end for more private access. UNMATCHED FLEXIBILITY! The walls are detachable, and we’ve designed the two round ends so that they can be used as independent “Carousel” pavilions when desired. When combined as shown above, each of the rounds has the ability to be closed off from the rest of the pavilion for privacy.

THE REGENT PAVILION Only 5 poles, 8 ropes and some tent stakes are needed to set up the Regent! A very popular style throughout the ages, the Regent is fabulous for an average sized family with gear. It sets up with one center pole and four corner poles. Walls are 6’ high. The roof portion is square while the base of the slanted walls is an octagon. This gives you LOTS OF ROOM without having to cart around all those poles! The Regent is a one piece tent, made with two doorways to give you plenty of ventilation on hot days! A separate canopy fly can be added to increase your outside socializing area. We make these the same width as the eave of your tent and they extend 12’ forward. The flys attach above your doorway with snaps and D-rings and two matching grommets to go over your tent’s corner pole pins. The front edge of the fly uses two 6’ upright poles, and a central prop pole provides slope for rain.

THE ANGLO-SAXON GETELD An early ancestor of today’s wedge tent! The Geteld is of North European origin. It is illustrated in many early manuscripts, including the Utrecht Psalter (820 A.D.), where the doors are shown to have ties for closure. Our Getelds, like the early illustrations, are made with a longer base than ridge line and finished off with a tapered door at each end.

For fun, we offer the original size, taken from the tent frame found in a Viking ship (14’7” W x 17’3” L x 11’5” H) Of course all sizes are heavily reinforced for maximum strength. THE VIKING TENT This wedge was supported entirely by a free-standing framework of poles (not included). No stakes are necessary because the base is held by a pole that runs lengthwise down each side. The ridge pole is supported by cross poles at each end. (These were usually carved ornately on the tops). We sew a sleeve large enough for a 2”x4” along the base, down each long side of your tent. The entire tent, frame and all can be moved around without dismantling. Panther supplies you with the measurements and instructions for making your frame. THE NORMAN SAXON TENT Very similar to the Viking tent except it sets up with a ridge pole and uprights. Therefore, we sew rolled canvas peg loops on the base instead of the 2”x4” sleeve, and you’ll need tent stakes to set it up. NOTE: PRICES BELOW ARE FOR NORMAN SAXON TENTS.

THE BRITISH BELL TENT Used during the Napoleonic Period and Crimean War, this tent is erected using only one pole 9’10” long. It measures 12’6” in diameter and has a 17” high wall. The doorway is in two sections where the top and bottom are separately functional. The peak has a thirteen ounce brown canvas cone with grommet.

($20.00 + $5.00 + $5.00) -34- FUR TRADE ERA WEDGE TENTS The wedge tent is one of history’s most popular tents. From Medieval wedges (Pgs. 29-30) through today’s “pup” tents they were made in all sorts of sizes. There are numerous accounts of wedge tents being used by traders and trappers alike at the old rendezvous, and between about 1755 and 1860 it was the single most popular tent in America. Probably the main reason for the wedge tent’s popularity is its very basic and functional design. Simple to erect, it goes up in minutes, with only three poles. Panther Primitives takes the wedge tent one step further, by adding a few extra features to increase the tent’s flexibility. THE DOUBLE DOOR CONCEPT It just doesn’t make sense to have a solid end in a wedge tent. The added flexibility that the extra door end can add is amazing. That’s why all of Panther’s non-military wedge tents (except bellbacks) come with both ends as doors being a standard feature. Here are some reasons why: 1) Summer Heat: During the hot summer months, you can open both ends to get a cooling breeze through the tent 2) Winter Cold: Because each end has two 4 inch overlapping facings with inside and outside ties, they can be closed up snugly for winter camping. This gives you all the benefits of a solid end without any of the drawbacks. 3) Open Face Set-Up: Since both ends are split up the center, one side can be raised out for a canopy effect. All stress points are well reinforced and designed to give you maximum strength. REINFORCEMENT Peak grommets make adding a fly much more efficient Doors have roll up ties for hot days! Ridge line reinforcement strip runs entire length to stop ridge pole abrasion! Peak is 4 layers of canvas thick Double rolled back seam gives a sill effect for better water shedding ability Corner peg loops double rolled back and double stitched for durability Rolled canvas peg loops Corner reinforcement “The wind was blowing so hard sideways that areas of our house leaked that should not have (during a tornado and accompanying storm). After some time I looked out...to find that not only had the tent stood the storm, but the dining fly was still standing as well. My neighbor’s house has holes in it, my sister-in-law’s house is in need of a new roof and windows and their car was destroyed by the hail, there are houses all over town that are flooded and falling apart, and I have a Panther tent in my back yard with dry grass under it. I have to say that I will be recommending your tents to others with the utmost of confidence. Thank you,” R.N . Bowling Green, KY -35- STANDARD WEDGE TENTS CHECK OUT OUR MILITARY WEDGES!!! PAGE34. The KID’S WEDGE is a great way to give mom and dad a little privacy, and instill a sense of responsibility into the kids. It can be set-up with just 2-6’ uprights, Our GIANT WEDGE gives you 144 square feet 2 ropes and 12 stakes! of room while needing just 3 poles! PEAK GROMMETS ARE STANDARD We’ve found that it is nice to have the added flexibility that peak grommets give you. They are particularly helpful when it comes to adding on a tent fly (SEE PAGE 42 FOR OUR TENT FLYS). If you do not want peak grommets just let us know, and we’ll leave them off! OPTIONAL BELL BACK The bells on our standard wedges extend the length of the tent base without any change in the ridge pole length. The advantage is added space for storing gear. If you’d like this option, it is available both with and without a door in the bell. SOD CLOTH We highly recommend sod cloth for all of the tents we make. Sod cloth is a 10” turn in along the base of the tent. It seals gaps due to uneven ground and we put it on all four sides of your wedge tent. If you’d like a bell back, we put a separate piece of sod cloth on each panel of the bell for maximum coverage, so there is an extra charge. SIZES The chart on the next page shows you our standard sizes of wedge tents. Our REALLY BIG Medieval wedges can be found on page 30, and of course, we can make you any size you want.

See page 42 for TENT FLYS. -37- WE’RE FAMOUS FOR OUR WALL TENTS The wall tent has left a long trail through history. It has been used for centuries and it came in all sorts of sizes. Its popularity lives on today through buckskinning and re-enacting. At Panther Primitives we’re famous for our wall tents! The extra height on the peak and the side walls gives you MORE HEADROOM than most tents, and the traditional inside pole design makes for easier set up. THE TRADITIONAL INSIDE POLE DESIGN The inside pole, or “eastern style” wall tent is the oldest and most authentic wall tent design. It can be set up with as few as three poles; two uprights and a ridge pole. Using this set up, guy ropes are attached to the loops at the tops of the walls and staked out along both sides of the tent. Another variation of this set up involves running a sidepole horizontally through the loops at the top of each wall and supporting it with a couple of short uprights and 4 or 5 short guy ropes. This method takes up less set up space but requires hauling some extra poles. Our complete set up instructions show you how to do BOTH of these methods, including pole lengths, number and length of ropes, stakes, etc. WHICH WALL TENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU Although selecting the right size is often a matter of personal preference, there are a couple of things to remember when choosing. For instance, what you use for pole transport may limit the size of ridge pole you can haul. The longest poles you will have are usually the ridge pole (same length as your tent) and the outside wall pole (about one foot longer than your tent). We offer steel sleeves for splicing ridge poles or uprights on page 11. Also, if you purchase our set up package any pole over 8’ long (ridge or 2 uprights) will be spliced for you automatically. Please note that we don’t sell outside wall poles. Our set up packages include guy ropes that attach directly to the wall loops or grommets. “I do want you to know that my wall tent is giving me nothing but great service. Folks who ask about my tent get an earful on why I chose Panther and how pleased I am. I have run into others at rendezvous who also say fine things about Panther.” T.M. - Copperas Cove, TX -38- STANDARD WALL TENTS THE TWO DOOR CONCEPT We make your wall tent with a door on each end. This adds all-weather flexibility to your tent. In the summer, you can create a nice breeze by opening each end. In the winter you can close these doors snugly, because they have 6” overlapping facings with ties both inside and out. If you want one end solid instead, just tell us, and we’ll do it at no extra charge. EXTRAS — A 2” overhang protects each wall from rain, serving as a drip edge. — We believe in having plenty of loops and we space all peg loops and wall loops 24” apart for your convenience. Seam Engineering (pg. 16) would leave them approx. 33” apart. — You may substitute our brass grommets for the loops along the top of your walls at no charge. — Each wall tent comes with a set of set-up instructions and a pole requirement sheet. — If you want to put a stove hole in your tent, send us detailed sketches of exactly where you want the insert sewn. Our inserts are heat resistant up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit! The inserts cost $40.00 sewn in. They are also sold separately on page 65. If you don’t specify which size hole (3”, 4”, 5”, or 6”) or location, we’ll just install a 4” hole in the end of the tent (the standard location). Available ONLY on flame retardant tents. — We will put ties in your tent and make a partition to fit inside if you wish. When you order this option tell us how far from the end you want the partition and we’ll put the ties for it in the nearest seam. Sewing the ties in the seam gives more support to your partition. — We highly recommend sod cloth. It is a 10” turn in flap along the ground that seals off gaps from uneven ground, and we put it on all 4 sides of your tent for an extra charge. Wall Scallops add pizazz to your tent and are available in 8 styles and 16 colors of braid! (See pg. 14). — Peak Grommets are standard. REINFORCEMENTS Peak grommets are standard Doors have roll up ties for hot days! Ridge line reinforcement strip runs the entire length, to protect against abrasion from ridge pole. CORNERS ARE REINFORCED Peak is 4 layers of canvas thick Double rolled back seam gives a sill effect for better water shedding ability Double thick 2” tab for wall loops All peg loops are rolled canvas, 4 layers thick! 6” overlap facing, inside & out Heavy duty 1” wide cotton webbing wall loops Rolled Canvas Peg Loops Base corner reinforcement “Best reproduction tents on the market, absolutely top quality.

WALL Tent Flys are on the next page! -41- TENT FLYS There are many, many uses for tent flys, both by themselves and in conjunction with other tents. With a wall tent or a wedge tent, a fly can be used as an insulation barrier, as a sun/rain canopy, or as both at the same time. Our tent flys are designed to come off the end of a wall tent or wedge tent. We make our wall tents and non-military wedge tents with peak grommets so you can support one end of the fly’s ridge pole on top or your tent, requiring just one more center upright to hold up the other end. We give you heavy duty triangular reinforcements in all 4 corners and at the peak grommet locations (Peak grommets are included). Heavy duty cotton loops are spaced every 24” along the short sides of the fly. An 8’x16’ fly gives you a 7’9” porch, a 10’x16’ fly gives you a 9’9” porch, and so on. 16’ long flys are long enough to provide a good canopy area for most sizes of tents, but we recommend the 18’ or 20’ long, for 14’ wide wall tents and wedge tents 8’ tall or higher. NOTE: Our set-up pkg. for these includes guy ropes for the sides. No side poles are included. TENT FLYS Size Depth x Width Flame Retardant Canvas 10.38 oz.

It sets up with 4 corner poles and a center pole approx. 2’ longer than the corner poles. The 12’x12’ size seems to be a good size for most camps. All of our dining flys have a center reinforcement with a grommet for the center pole. We’ve also added a tie here to attach to your center pole so that the fly stays down on the pole in windy conditions. Also standard are triangular reinforcements with grommets at each corner and ties every 24” around the edges. Scallop Edging (See pg. 14) Styles A, B, C, D, F or H $2 per foot. Styles E or G $3 per foot. Side Curtains - A 7’ tall curtain in any length for added wind, rain or sun protection. We put ties along the top and sides, and peg loops along the bottom.

I enjoy the quality, it’s the best tent I’ve ever seen!...” -43- P.P. - Parmela, TX THE NO-POLE HUNTER’S TENT, OR PYRAMID TENT There is an interesting story behind this tent. Several years ago, many different varieties of one-pole shelters were introduced into the marketplace. Many of our customers came to us, asking if we would begin producing these one-polers for them. We did a very careful study on the tents and decided not to produce them. The reinforcing and space efficiency of the one-polers was a bit suspect. So we set about researching history books and reference materials. What we found was beyond our highest hopes. Not only did we discover a shelter that has better space efficiency and pole requirements, we also found a tent that is historically authentic. Pyramid tents were used during and after the fur trade. Rufus Sage used one in 1841 when he was travelling along the Laramie on his way to Fort Platte. Francis Parkman’s party used one in 1846, and other references support evidence that the pyramid tent was in use as early as 1820. Sizes ranged from 7’x7’x7’ to 15’x15’x9’6”. Today, the pyramid style tent is experiencing a renewed popularity because of its space efficiency, ease of set up, and low requirements for poles. Panther’s version, the hunter’s tent, has been modeled after original sizes but more reinforcing has been added. We like to say they’re “built like tanks” because they get more reinforcements than any other tent on the market today! SPACE EFFICIENCY The square corners of the hunter’s tent make for more usable space than the odd shaped corners on other one polers, and the steeper slope from peak to ground lets you store gear closer to the edge of the tent. The net result is minimal wasted space. We’ve slept 5 in our 10’x10’ in a pinch. “After seeing pyramid tents from two other manufacturers, I have absolutely no doubt that there is no better tent than a Panther. My Panther has withstood the 40 knot winds of Rocky Mountain thunderstorms and the driving rain of those high country cloud bursts. It stayed up and dry.” D.P. - Aurora, CO -44- QUICK SET-UP! HOW DOES 32 SECONDS SOUND? That’s how long it took the winning two-person team to set up a 10x10 Hunter at our company picnic. Normal set-up takes about 5-10 minutes. Simply drive in at least 8 stakes, lift the peak into place, and you’re up! POLE REQUIREMENTS The hunter’s tent gives you the flexibility of three different set up possibilities. For a one pole set up: simply place the pole inside the tent, propping up the middle. In the two pole set-up you just tie the peak of the tent to the point where the two poles cross. By lifting the poles and propping their butts against the ground, no guy wires or ropes are needed for set-up. For setting up with no poles, you must tie a rope to the loops at the peak and throw the rope over a tree limb and tie it off! REINFORCEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION The major concern with a one-poler is how strong the peak is. The peak must be able to handle tremendous amounts of stress. The hunter’s tent has a well reinforced peak, with double layers of canvas and heavy duty loops to help distribute weight and stress evenly when you use the no-pole or two-pole method of set up. Inside, you get a weight dispersion block of wood, for use with the one-pole set up. Our normal door has 6” overlapping facings that tie inside and out for snug closure. There is also a 14” facing along the bottom of the door to keep out uninvited critters. You also have the option of a tipi style door with roll up cover flap for an extra charge. The bottom corners are also high stress points, so we give you rolled canvas peg loops and a reinforcement at each one.

Because every hunter’s tent comes with a sod cloth on all four sides, the tiein floor can work in conjunction to totally seal up the gaps from uneven ground just like a sewn in floor. The major advantage of the tie-in floor is that it can be taken out for cleaning and drying. See next page for pricing. THE DOOR As described on the previous page, our standard door has overlap facings that tie inside and out and a 14” tall facing along the bottom. We do offer a tipi style (oval cut) door opening with a double thick roll up cover flap. The flap is sewn on above the door and ties closed or open. It has sleeves just like our tipi door cover so you can use dowels or willow branches to make it lay flat. The cost is $55.00 We strongly recommend the extra door for your hunter tent. It provides ventilation for those hot summer days, and believe me that can make all the difference in the world! A screen window will not give the same effect. The cost for an extra door is $20.00. FLYS You may wish to add a fly to your hunter’s tent. They are great for covering your entry way from rain and for a sun/rain canopy to sit under. Our flys are sold separately (pricing next pg.). We make all hunter’s tent flys to tie on under a flap that is on your tent. Because your hunter’s tent will already have this flap over each door, you can add a fly at any time after purchasing your tent! Below are the specifications for our hunter’s tent flys. Tent Size (base) Dimensions of Fly 10’X10’ 36” width flares out to 8’9” wide. Length is 8’. 12’x12’ 42” width flares out to 10’ wide. Length is 10’. 15’x15’ 48” width flares out to 10’ wide. Length is 12’. 17’x17’ 6’ width flares out to 14’ wide. Length is 16’. FLY POLE HOLE This is for putting a ridge pole through above the door to tie off to your upright in the tent. Another upright holds up the other end out in front of the tent. For use with our regular tent flys. Not needed for the flys described above. SIZES Our research shows that sizes of original pyramid tents ranged from 7’x7’x7’ to 15’x15’x9’6” and we offer 4 sizes within this range. Pyramids taller than 9’6” are not documented as authentic. The taller sizes have been added due to your requests. You get more headroom, but you also need longer pole(s). SET-UP PACKAGES You’ll get a center pole for the inside of the tent, and enough tent stakes to set up the tent. (This is the 1-POLE set-up method). If you order a set-up pkg. for a fly you’ll get 2 to 4 poles 6’ long (depending on fly size), guy ropes and stakes. -46- THE HUNTER’S TENT, OR PYRAMID TENT “I used my 12x12 Hunters Tent this past weekend at Rendezvous. It got a lot of attention, especially when I had it staked out and up in fifteen minutes. I also had a chance to compare my Hunter’s tent to another “one poler, “ from one of your competitor’s, and as I figured, the Panther won out. The extra stitching and reinforcement in the comers and peak clearly make the Panther the superior lodge. When the owner of the other one poler inspected my lodge, he asked “Who made it?”, and when I responded, Panther, he said, “that figures, they’re the best. “ “Keep up the good work....” B.C. - Lexington, KY “...There was another pyramid tent in camp at traders row which was from the competition and I must say that your design is by far much better. I feel that I made the right choice.” J.F. - San Leandro, CA WHEN ORDERING YOUR HUNTER’S TENT BE SURE TO SPECIFY “ORIGINAL” SIZE OR “TALL BOY”!!!

The workmanship is excellent. Everytime I’m asked who made it for me, I proudly reply, ‘Its a Panther.’ Thanks for a great lodge!” J.M. - Brenham, TX There’s nothing quite like spending the night in a tipi! Aside from the obvious romance of the structure it is an engineering marvel. It’s unique design makes it one of the soundest dwellings against the wind and the rain. It is very roomy yet it can be pitched by one person if necessary. The liner makes for good ventilation in hot summer weather while providing the draft for a fire during the winter months. We made our first tipis 30 years ago for some American Indian friends. Today we are still honored to receive so many orders from Native Americans as well as museums, individuals and theme parks. We based our design on the Laubin pattern, and through the years we’ve added lots of extra reinforcing and a custom-fit liner. We use only 36” wide canvas to help the tipi cover hold its shape better, and we’ve tested our own 16’ tipi year round in all kinds of weather. The result is that Panther tipis are the most soundly constructed on the market, while maintaining an authenticity matched only by the originals. “I purchased (one of your tipis) in January and put it up the same day I received it. Through rain, sun, snow and powerful winds it has been up. I’ve slept in it when it was -12º outside, and when it’s been so windy it has almost blown the feathers right off the chicken. You build one fine lodge and I thought I should tell you how much I appreciate it. Keep up the good work!” F.P. - Reynoldsburg, OH THE INDIAN TIPI (Second Edition) by Reginald and Gladys Laubin. This is absolutely the most comprehensive book on tipis, including set up, history, decoration, tribal designs, day to day tipi living and much, much more. We highly recommend this book for anyone interested in tipis! Catalog No. 1000-002-2..................................................$24.95 -48- SIZE MATTERS! We build our tipis to be a tilted cone, as the originals were. Panther tipis have a beautiful lean-back to the rear, making the floor not round, but egg shaped. The net result is that Panther tipis are BIGGER, with MORE USABLE FLOOR SPACE than most other tipis. 14’ 24’ 16’ 18’ A 10’10” 12’8” 14’3” 16’3” 18’2” 19’11” 21’8” B 12’10” 14’11” 17’2” 19’2” 21’2” 12’ Tipi Size 20’ 22’ 23’2” 25’5” C 5’7” D 12’9” 14’10” E 11’3” 13’4” 15’2” 63” 63” 63” 63” 75” 75” 87” 1 2 3 4-5 5-6 6-7 7-8 Approx.

Notice that there is a 5” turn ers are specially tailored to fit our own tipi in at the base of the liner covers. You’ll like the fact that we make them extra long so that they can cover your door opening from the inside, giving you extra insulation AND privacy. The height of your liner will vary with the size of your tipi, to maximize air flows. See the chart above for our liner heights. The inside of our 16’ tipi. Painting the liner makes your home unique and special. We include painting instructions with your order, and we sell acrylic canvas paints on page 61. -49- WHY PANTHER TIPIS ARE STRONGER You’ll get more reinforcing on a Panther Tipi than anywhere else. As a matter of fact, it’s probably more strength than you’ll need. But it insures you a durable long lasting shelter that will stand up to the most severe conditions that Mother Nature can throw your way. LACING PIN HOLES - All worked by hand. We use heavyweight thread and sew through 3 layers of canvas for each hole. Sets of holes are spaced only 7” apart for extra strength. THE DOORWAY - The seam that forms the inside edge of the door hole is 4 layers thick. Just below the doorway is an extra layer of reinforcing canvas. We also add a hand-worked single hole at the very bottom for you to run an anchor rope through. This prevents the cover from creeping up the poles at the doorway. We cut our door opening 50” tall for easy entry. THE BASE HEM - We sew a 2” wide band of heavy webbing into the hem. Peg loops are standard on our tipis, and they are sewn right into this webbing so that all stress is dispersed out along the entire base of the tipi, not concentrated in one spot. THE LIFT FLAP AREA - This is the highest stress area on the tipi. Our custom design incorporates a triple layered lift flap, double canvas reinforcements and heavy webbing sewn at all stress points (see below). It’s the strongest design on the market! Heavy Duty Webbing Ties Smoke Flap Corner Reinforcement Smoke Flap Pockets Heavy Duty Rolled Canvas Loops Double Thickness Reinforce Double Reinforced Gores 2 Layers Type II Webbing Triple Reinforced Lift Flap Double Reinforced Stress Point THE SMOKE FLAP POCKETS - We add durable platic line, sewn into the base of each pocket so it will stay open for ease of inserting the smoke flap pole while you’re on the ground and the pocket is 12’ in the air! “I’ve spent two years researching the tipi and when I got your catalog and read how much extra ya’ll put into the design I knew I had found what I was looking for.” J.R. - Jackson, MS -50- TIPIS FEATURES AND OPTIONS THE NO-LEAK DOOR COVER - Our double-thick door flap attaches INSIDE the tipi at the top, then comes OUTSIDE and ties off, so it sheds water just like a shingle. We sew in 3 sleeves and include 3 dowel poles to keep the door rigid when closed. Our design makes it easy for you to roll up your door and tie it open or securely tie it closed. FLOORS - These are available with or without a 36” diameter hole for a firepit. (You must specify if you want the hole). We make our floors from flame retardant canvas (See pg. 7 for a description), and they are rectangular with grommets around the edge. This is so you can use it as a tarp or dining fly as well as a floor. When you want to use it for your tipi floor cloth you simply fold under the corners to fit the shape of the tipi. OZANS - An ozan is sort of a drop ceiling for the back one third of your living area. It sits above the liner and it helps keep heat from your fire over the bedding area. It also protects bedding from water droplets during a severe rain storm. LACING PINS - Our lacing pins are a” diameter hardwood. Each end is pointed and then sanded for easy placement through the lacing pin holes. LEATHER TRIM - We offer a ½” strip of dark leather trim sewn around the opening, lift flap, and along the base of the smoke flaps. This is not needed for strength, purely decorative and looks great! $15.00 MARBLES - Your tipi will come with our standard rolled canvas peg loops, unless you request they be left off. You can get a set of peg down marbles for $1.00 (with tipi purchase) if you’d like a more traditional look. PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS - These are FREE with your tipi order. We recommend a special fabric paint like the acrylic paints on page 61. DECK INSTRUCTIONS - FREE with your order if you’d like to set your tipi on a wooden deck. This basic design works well. Also, check out our wood burning stoves on page 64-65. You should order Flame Retardant Canvas if you’ll be using a stove! “I thought I better let you know something. This is as fine a quality lodge as I’ve seen. I have owned one (Brand “X”) lodge, one by (Brand “Y”), and now yours. This is the finest of the three by far. I’m more than happy with our lodge and recommend your company whenever I’m asked about lodges.” C.H. - Oklahoma City, OK -51- TRIBAL VARIATIONS Smoke flap designs varied from tribe to tribe. The most weather resistant style is the Cheyenne, and that is our standard offering, but we can make you any tribal style that you would like. If you’d like a flap style other than the Cheyenne be sure to specify when ordering! The rest of your tipi will be identical in design, regardless of which flap style you choose. TIPI POLES We supply the best quality pine tipi poles available. They are nice straight poles that have been hand peeled with an average diameter of 2¼”-3” at the base. As with any pole, it’s a good idea to treat your poles with a wood preserver. Not only will it increase their lifespan, it also makes them look great! It’s always smart to order an extra pole or two. That way, if you ever have to replace one in your set you won’t have to worry abouth the prohibitive shipping cost of ordering just one pole! The cost of your tipi poles must be pre-paid. We do not ship poles C.O.D.

ALL TIPI POLES ARE DROP SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO YOU. VERY RARELY DO WE HAVE POLES AT THE FACTORY. ALL POLES WILL BE SENT FREIGHT COLLECT VIA TRUCK. YOU SHOULD ALLOW 6 TO 8 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY. DURING SPRING THE WAIT WILL BE LONGER. SHIPPING COSTS WILL VARY GREATLY BECAUSE OF MANY FACTORS. USUALLY A SET OF POLES COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $200 TO $500 TO SHIP. CALL US FOR AN ESTIMATE. POLES LONGER THAN 27’ CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT TO SHIP IN CERTAIN STATES. CHECK WITH US FOR DETAILS. YOUR DELIVERY SITE MUST BE ACCESSIBLE BY SEMI-TRUCK, AND YOU MAY NOT CHANGE YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS AFTER THE ORDER IS PLACED. NOTE: Many truck lines refuse to haul poles longer than 27’, so you may not be able to get the longer poles! One way to still have a BIG tipi is to have us “bob the ends”. We can cut off the skinny end to shorten your poles to 27’ and you can use these poles for up to a 22’ tipi. This leaves you a small top crown and very little taper to your poles, but it will still give you the strength you’ll need for a larger tipi. You still must pay for the longer pole, we just cut the top off so that it can ship via truck and still be strong enough for the larger tipi. -52- You get more for your money with Panther!

Great fun for the entire family! $225.00 plus shipping -53- THE BAKER STYLE LEANTO The Baker Lean-to looks like a wall tent that’s been cut in half long ways, with a flap added to the front. Technically, it is not historically authentic to the fur trade era, but is widely accepted at rendezvous. We developed the best privacy curtain system around! (Privacy curtains are sold separately). Our privacy curtains are sewn onto the front side edge, so your front corners are sealed off from wind and rain. This design also allows you to use each curtain as a “wing” to block off weather from getting under your canopy when you’re relaxing beneath it. With our unique curtain design you can also “add a room” under the front flap by extending the curtains frontwards along the sides of the canopy and adding a front curtain. This extra space is great for storage and privacy, but would be inadequate for living space unless you added extra rain flaps and a center prop pole. (Contact us to discuss this concept and to get pricing.) We can make any size Baker Lean-to that you’d like. Below are our most popular standard sizes. Full ground cloths can be found on page 59.

Like the Baker Lean-To, the front of the Whelan is covered by a full flap. Unlike the Baker, the Whelan slopes directly to the ground. There is no back wall, which means a bit less usable floor space but fewer poles needed for setup. Lightweight and practical, the Whelan can be set up with sapling poles or by stringing a rope between two trees. STYLE WIDTH X DEPTH (HEIGHT) Flame Retardant Canvas 10.38 oz. 10.38 oz.

Add a second door for $25.00 Flys for these tents come with brass grommets along the side edges and a grommet at the midway point along each end. Of course all grommet positions are well reinforced! * The lengths on these tents and flys are variable because they’re made by number of canvas panels. Because canvas panels vary in width between lots the length of the tentage below may differ one way or the other a few inches. TENT (Length is Approx.) Measurments W x L x Ht. x Wall Ht.

How about a Bedouin tent to house your harem, or a wagon cover for that trip out west? It would be nearly impossible for us to show you in a catalog all the different historical tents that we make. So if you need something custom, send us a sketch with dimensions and we’ll get back to you with a price quote! “I always tell anyone who is looking to buy a tent to check out Panther. I could not ask for better service than I have received from your company. If a person wants quality in a tent, then Panther is what they want.” T.H. - Flatwoods, WV -58- GROUND CLOTHS We highly recommend the use of a ground cloth with your tent. It keeps moisture from coming up through the ground and gives you a clean floor for walking and setting gear. When used in conjunction with a sod cloth, a ground cloth can completely seal out wind, moisture, and insects. Note: These are not flame retardant! Call for prices on flame retardant ground cloths. We offer you two styles of ground cloths to choose from. REGULAR GROUND CLOTH - These are made of 10 oz. waterproof mildew resistant canvas. Colors may vary between off white to a tan/brown. This is the type of ground cloth that has been around for years. It has about a 7% shrinkage factor. SUPER GROUND CLOTH - In a matter of days a patch of pretty green grass can turn into a black mass of rotten goo on the bottom of your canvas ground cloth. That’s why for stays of a week or more we’ve created this SUPER GROUND CLOTH. The bottom is rip resistant woven blue polyethylene to seal out ground moisture and protect the SUNFORGER canvas top layer. You no longer have to carry a separate piece of plastic to lay down under your ground cloth, because its built right in to our SUPER GROUND CLOTH! If you need pricing on a size not shown on the chart below, simply use the formula of .70¢/sq. foot for Regular Ground Cloth or $1.00/sq. foot for Super Ground Cloth.

The old timers never had it so good!” P.M.- Culver, In Our popular bedroll is a canvas bag that ties up one side. Put your blankets right inside! When you roll the bedroll up for transporting it there are ties for closing it, and it can be tied to the bottom of a basket or our canvas back pack, so that it doesn’t take up a lot of room. The one person size weighs only 4 lbs., and the double size weighs in at 8 lbs. Both have a flour sack bottom and measure 6” thick. We like to use these in conjunction with other tents during the winter and during the summer you can use this bedroll alone if in a pinch. We recommend flame retardant for use in tipis or around any open fire! 13 oz.

They have six sturdy galvanized steel bands to lock the oak staves together. Although the galvanized is shiny, we’ve found that it won’t rust and discolor the wood like regular steel bands do, so your keg will look a lot nicer! Each keg comes with a bung in the side for filling. It’s a good idea to break these in a couple days prior to your event by filling them with water. They should be stored in a nice cool place and kept away from hot dry places for long periods of time. These are getting hard to find so there may be a short waiting period at times.
