My buddy and I invested in a 16x14 canvas tent from Kwik Kamp this year.  We also got their largest stove.  Awesome setup and help up great during deer season when we had winds over 70 mph at night.  Check em out!

we had a similar experience, lost two eazyups from our kitchen but our 14x16 yakima tent didn't budge. you hunt around entiat?

  We had a friend build our stove, keeps the 16 x 20 as warm as you want and fire all night.  Flat top for cooking, chores and assembles in 5 min.  A 16 gallon keg attaches to the upper rt. side and keeps around 14 - 15 gallons of water almost boiling.  It's plumbed through the stove and the pipes connected to the keg, with a ball valve for dispencing.  It's about 8 years old and still doing great.
We also had a custom, what we call porch built for the front of the tent, it's
10 x 10.  We keep it heated with propane for boots, that days wood and a coat rack.  It keeps the indoor outdoor carpet clean.

We use three wall tents in a row - about 52 ft long with oil stoves on each end for the two sleeping tents and wood stove in the middle cook/drink tent.  Internal frames.  Don't worry about waterproofing just cover with a couple 20 x 30 camo tarps.  Handles a doz. + guys nice.  Modified center tent for a solid hinged door.   Some of the frame is bought some made.   Used chainlink fence rail & post pipe from Home Depot - matched perfect.

We have several wall tents and when I upgrade in a few years it will be a Bravo tent from down in Camas Wa area I believe. They are well thought out designs and top quality. Check them out before you pull the trigger.nwhunter

I have a 14x16 wall tent with all the fixen's. Pretty nice set up really. This year though we knew we were going to pull out of elk camp early to go hunt on our deer permits so I pulled up my 18' camp trailer. Not the least bit interested to re-set a wet tent and gear. Damn sure not as roomy, but kind of nice to just set up and tear down in just a few minutes for a change. But the tent will be up this fall. I just feel with the wall tent a guy can withstand about any weather ol' ma nature will throw at you.
Can't we all just get along?

Well I just ordered my set up from Davis Tent..... Didn't get everything or even the size of tent I wanted.... We've had some very bad luck with car troubles and work is on the down side right now.... Plus I've been laid up about 3 weeks with an ankle injury.... So my wife said she won't be joining us this year and to just get one for me and Dad to go..... So next year we can get a bigger one if need be and use this one for a cook/storage tent... They made me a great deal and I'm very pleased.... Nothing fancy and no whistles and bells like I was dreaming of..... So we got a 10X12 with angle kit, the smallest stove with all attachments and water heater... And a Big Boy Cot....

You'll never regret having that tent.  Glad they treated you well at Davis tents..  I knew they would.....

My brother and I just went in on a barely used Yakima canvas wall tent 14 x 16; so it will be the second canvas wall tent in our elk camp.  I've stayed in several brands and there are several that are built really well.  Beckel canvas in Portland, Montana canvas that they sell at Sportsmans are great. I think this one we picked up is going to be great also, its been treated with all of the weather shedding stuff, we just need to get a stovepipe insert sewed in.

Bunk beds.  Yakima Tent makes bunk bed style cots, great idea.  Sleep on the bottom and store your gear on the top.  I hate it when everything seems to pile up in the corner of the tent.

You're right, it always seems like a challenge to keep all of our gear organized throughout the season. Especially when its pouring down rain and every spot in the tent has something hanging from it or propped against it drying.

If you want a roomy tent with a stove, but don't want the bulk of a wall tent, here is an option.  This is my Cabelas bighorn.  I can set it up by myself in about 20 min.  Had sustained winds of 40 with gusts of 50 to 60 one night near Banks Lake and is stood up to it like a champ. 

Not nearly as nice as a wall tent, but you can put in three cots and a stove with plenty of room.  The photos make it look small, but it is 12x14 with nearly 9 foot ceilings.  Great reviews on Cabelas site too.  4.6 out of 5 over 31 reviews.
