Call these guys and talk to them before you make a decision.

We have a 12'x18'. It is a nice size for my dad and I. I would get a stove jack on both sides of the tent so when you set up you will not have to worry about it being backwards. We are looking at adding the door screens to keep the bugs out during the archery hunts. We have also thought about adding the cook shack off the front. The heavy duty floor tarps they use are great.

Check out Bravo Tents. They are local and can service you well. They are also at the sportsman show in Portland right now. I thought he was also a site sponsor but could be wrong.

Thanks guys...I just checked out the wall tent shop and they have some pretty good deals

Do you guys think a 12x14 is big enough for 3?

[SnakeEyes]

It is probably big enough but having the 12'x18' with 2 x large cots, stove, some gear is pretty nice. I do not think I would want any smaller.

I have a Davis tent and have been really happy with it. Two more days left on their Sportsmans show price for a 14x16. You can have extras added to it and they ship at a fair price.

IMO I would go with the 14 x16. With three guys and gear it would give you more breathing room. I have a 12 x 14 rainier tent. And depending on situations 14 x16 would be nicer

   and get 5 foot sidewalls with mudflap,  more standing room.   get a removable cover for the syack for summer.  if u get an 18 foot get a zipper at one end,  mike w

I bought a Davis Tent 2 years ago. It's 14x16 with 5 foot sidewalls, mildew and fire resistant treated canvas, and frame angle kit. After buying EMT for the frame at Lowe's, I spent $1,050 total. I'm very happy with my tent and would buy from Davis again.

No way would I get a 12x14 if you want 3 guys and a stove. We did a 12x20 with 3 guys. Stove, cooking gear, etc and it was real nice.

I don't plan on having the kitchen inside I'll have a kitchen porch off the front

There are lots of good tents out there.
I bought a 10 x 12 because I wanted something I could handle by myself. It's fine for two guys and a stove.

Mine is from Reliable Tent and  Tepee. My buddy has one from the Tent shop. I think mine is better built at the eaves with both grommets and sewn plastic loops for the tie down ropes.
Look around before you buy.
