Selway 6P Tent
The Selway 6P is a lightweight, spacious, 6 person tent designed as a large tent for backcountry hunting or as a base camp tent. Built with a tall pitch height and a modified rectangular shape, the Selway 6P is a 4 season tent made to withstand any mountain weather while providing ample space for gear and people.
With dual doors and a built in stove jack for hot tent compatibility, coupled with our proprietary 20D Nano Ripstop no-stretch silpoly fabric, the Selway is the perfect shelter for larger groups with 157 sq. ft. of interior space. Our nano ripstop polyester based fabric is double coated with silicone for long-lasting, durable waterproof protection and won't sag when wet, so the usable space inside the tent isn't sacrificed in wet weather.
The Selway 6P is ideal for six people and small amounts of gear, or 3 people with a stove, wood and a lot of gear. With just sleeping pads and bags in the tent, it is possible to squeeze 8 people in the tent.
Compatible Products
The Selway comes standard with one half floor and a center pole, but it can be used with several other accessory products to customize your tent experience. The Selway can be run as a floorless shelter, with one or two Selway half floors, or with the Selway 6P Half Insert, which has a bathtub floor and mesh upper for full double wall coverage (sold separately). You can also add one or two Selway Half Liners to prevent condensation from dripping on you and your gear in wet conditions. And if you want to make a hot tent combo, pair with our Skyline Ti Titanium Wood Stove with an 8 foot stove pipe length.
The Selway 6P needs to be seam sealed to be fully waterproof. We include seam sealer with every tent. For more information on how to seam seal your tent, check out our seam sealing instruction page. We will be offering factory seam sealing for the Selway 6P in the future but are not at this time.

Customer Reviews
We used this tent for 7 nights on a backcountry elk hunt in mid October. This tent is very high quality and well designed. We had 3 people, stove, and gear in the tent and used one liner on the side we slept on. We had zero complaints and it served us well. I would recommend a second liner if you expect rain or snow like we experienced. If I had to do it over again I would buy the 8p tent instead. We had llamas and the added weight of the 8p would not have mattered. The 6p worked but we were wishing for more space. I’m 6’1” and found it tough to keep the foot box of my sleeping bag from touching the tent. I didn’t expect this at my height. I also couldn’t really stand up in this tent. We will get the 8p for next season if we have 3 of us. I would really consider this a 2 person plus stove and gear tent. Overall I’m very happy with the design and quality of this tent!!
This tent is fantastic! My friend and I used it on a 10-day hunting trip in the mountains, where we encountered some pretty adverse weather conditions, and this tent held its own! We were both so glad we had it, as the mountains threw every type of weather at us, including strong winds and hail. Despite that, the tent was perfect for two people and all of our gear. We even had enough space to stretch out with our camp chairs and enjoy the warmth of the stove.
After watching the instructional videos from the website, setting it up and seam sealing was a breeze. This tipi-style tent can easily be set up by one person. I added both liners to help with condensation, and they worked perfectly. Plus, it packs into the stuff sack with everything attached, making the next setup even quicker.
The stove was a total game-changer—talk about being comfortable in the middle of nowhere! I highly recommend this tent to anyone looking for a lightweight, reliable shelter. I can't wait to use it again!
Love it!
Great tent! Light weight, straight forward and easy to set up. Would be nice if it packed down a a little smaller and they had a video regarding putting it up, but the 3rd time my buddy and I set it up it was a lot better. I recommend some extra stakes and line to tighten up the bottom allowing more room though. Definitely would have a hard time setting it up alone but you should always have a hunting buddy!
All and All I am very pleased and am considering getting smaller tent.
Great product… After watching the videos on seam sealing it made the task very easy and only took about 30 minutes to do. The same with the setup if you watch the video the guys have made, it makes the setup very easy. Only regret is not purchasing the titanium tent stakes but that will be my next purchase.
We used this set up on an October elk hunt at about 9k elevation for several nights, including some cold wet weather.
Three guys plus gear all fit easily, along with a large stack of firewood. The shape and size of the footprint allowed for plenty of room for the three of us without feeling pressed into the walls.
I’ve used hot tent/tipi set ups many times in the past, but this was the first time I’ve used a liner in one. We had a couple days/nights of snow amounting to a few inches, and the liner was money. My biggest grievance with hot tent/tipis is the condensation that occurs inside, and this liner eliminated condensation. It fit snug to the wall and was easy to install. I will use the liner regularly in the future.
We moved our camp a couple different times and set up/tear down was very easy, especially with a couple guys. After initially installing the liner we just left it attached through take down and set up and that worked well.
The stove kept us warm and cozy, and dried our socks and gloves at night.
Overall this tent with the liner and stove made for a very pleasant backcountry experience.
