I have been trying for the past few days to find some where any trace of the tents they used in M*A*S*H. I've gone to local surplus stores, I've scoured the internet for plans, or any sign of them, but drawn a complete blank.
So my question is, what the hell are these tents? and where can I get/ make one?
P.S. (I've just watched the episode Bug Out pt. 1 and took some notes on the frames. But I'm still not sure on the particulars of the construction.)
M*A*S*H Tents
Re: M*A*S*H Tents
I need to second that question.
The M-1945 GP Tent and M-1950 GP Tent are not the ones, even if used in real Korean War (hexagonal base). Also, the stove for M-1950 is completely different from that in the movie.
I saw M-1942 squad O.D. model that looks similar but is three times as long.
Would anyone have an idea, what was the "Swamp" made from?

Did you guys have any luck with this?? Would love to know!
Re: M*A*S*H Tents
The tents used for "The Swamp" , Hotlips quarters, etc were all the M-1934 Pyramidal tent, but with the winterization kit added, which meant adding a door, and covering the door opening, among others.
The first photo is showing such a tent used as an officers latrine, something that did occur in the TV series as well.
