Hi every one, just been going through my shed and just found my cubmaster tent witch i put in there last summer, after finding it at my local recycling centre.
If any one has any information on these would be great full, cant find much on the internet. Have pics but not sure how to add them.
Regards Pete.

its a bit like a old force 10 tent I think and found this on an old post....... Hi, i have come across a cubmaster tent in an old caravan, i was hoping someone might know how to put it up, it has two small bags of poles and the tent has an outer part and a inner cotton part, it looks like a pole goes up the middle and the tent looks like it will be a triangler prism shape (like a toblerone).

any ideas
Sounds like it might be a Blacks Good Companion or maybe even an Itisa (can't remember the manufacturer) .. yeah, they called the tent 'Itisa' as is "what's that?' "it is a tent"
The Itisa is quite rare! If it is either of these you've had some good luck, if the tent is in good condition you've had some bl&&dy good luck ... buy a Lotto ticket. ;) ;) ;)
That's about all I could find.

My first Scout camp was in a Blacks Good Companion, my first Venture Scout expedition was in an Itisa.
They are similar tents, with an "A" pole inside the flysheet and above the inner tent. Both are 3 man tents in a "wigwam" style.
Something like this only smaller:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4m-Canvas-Bell-Tent-Scout-tipi-yurt-takes-inner-stove-/131108889926?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_HikingCamping_Tents_JN&hash=item1e86b2e546

In 1966 the Scout Association stopped having Cub and Scout Masters and had leaders instead. So unless this tent is very old it is not a Scout Shops tent.

There was a Japanese camping equipment manufacturer in the 1970's called Cobmaster, they mostly made nylon packs, perhaps check your spelling.

Boys Scouts of America still retain the Scout & Cub Master titles and the tent could be American, perhaps made by Diamond the authorised BSA manufacturer. They tended to make ridge tents in cotton calling them wall tents with pole supported walls. (Like the tents in MASH)

It could well be Cobmaster as it has a nylon fly sheet and a cotton inner tent. It has the emblem with the bear and rucksack, but cant make out if its cub or cob! lovely little tent I would only say room for two though and not much head room at back as the pole slopes from front to back. Wish I could up load some pics!!

Yes that is the Cobmaster logo, do I get a pat on the head?

http://www.thejoyofcanvas.info/manufacturers/cobmaster.html

Is that raised blue thing apparently attached to the rear of the tent a bird feeder?
