While looking for something else entirely, I stumbled across this catalog for 1917 including all sorts of tents, camp gear, and general clothing.

If one has read things like Canada's Glittering Mountains, this is probably kind of gear in use back then.

No wonder they needed horses to haul everything in!

Here's the link:

Even back in 1969 on my first camping trip with my parents, we used a heavy/bulky canvas tent.
