US GI OD 10-MAN ARCTIC TENT USED

The US GI OD 10-Man Arctic Tent is a genuine piece of U.S. military surplus shelter — the real, originally-issued article that saw service supporting American troops in cold-weather operations. Built around a proven ridge-pole design and heavy cotton duck construction, it is one of the largest and most recognizable pieces of GI field shelter ever fielded, and it carries strong appeal for customers who want authentic gear with real provenance rather than a modern copy.

This tent is a natural stock item for shops serving hunters running base camps, outfitters, expedition organizers, preppers, Scouts, reenactors, and military collectors. With floor space for up to ten personnel plus kit, it works equally well as a hunting or fishing bunkhouse, a long-stay basecamp, an emergency-preparedness shelter, a group camp mess or gear tent, or a display piece for collectors and living-history groups.

Key Features

• Authentic U.S. GI issue — genuine surplus, not a reproduction, sourced through our supply channels.
• 10-person capacity — generous interior volume for personnel, cots, stoves, and gear.
• Heavy cotton duck canvas in olive drab — the classic military shell material, breathable and hard-wearing.
• Ridge-pole and guy-line design — stable pitched profile that sheds wind, rain, and snow load.
• Stove jack ready — designed for use with a field stove for cold-weather heating (stove not included).
• Zippered door entry with tie-off flaps for controlled ventilation.
• Rope guy lines and wooden tensioners in the traditional GI pattern.

Intended Use

Originally developed for cold-weather and arctic operations, this tent shelters a full squad in one enclosure and pairs with a wood-burning or liquid-fuel field stove for heated occupancy. It suits extended hunting camps, remote fishing trips, off-grid basecamps, group scouting outings, disaster-preparedness caches, and military reenactment encampments. The classic OD silhouette also makes it a strong display and event piece for surplus dealers and militaria retailers.

Condition

Supplied in used military surplus condition. Expect honest field-use character — minor staining, service patches, faded markings, and hardware patina consistent with a tent that has done real work. Major components remain intact and the shelter is field-serviceable. Exact condition varies from unit to unit, which is part of the appeal for buyers who value authenticity over factory-fresh appearance.

A high-margin, high-interest stock item that anchors a surplus, camping, or preparedness section and gives your customers access to a piece of GI kit that simply cannot be replicated by modern civilian offerings.
