tents vs campers

[AWS]

Here's a few pics 

Coyote hunting in January, temps got below zero stayed toasty with a small electric heater(I get off season senior rates at the state parks $6.00/night ) a Buddy heater works well also.  We spent a week, very comfortable.



Spent a week in MT hunting pheasants, had three dogs and kennels in a Honda Element(no room for camping gear) so we took the tent trailer with The add a room, like staying at the Ritz.



Spent three years living in a 9x12 wall tent in NW WI  got a few strange looks went I brought a date "Back to my place for a drink".

I spent a lot of nights sleeping in a horse trailer or on the ground miles away from anything in just a sleeping bag and tarp. Tents took up too much room.

huntinhick, If you go the tent route, I highly recomend a wall tent. The area inside is almost 100% usable, as long as you get atleast 5' walls. I much prefer hunting out of a wall to a camper, you just don't get that cramped up feeling.

I like tenting but have a small trailer 1970 prowler, older than i am... I got it for $400including tax and tabs off craigs list... Its great for weekend outings when the weather is marginal... I cant tow it be hind my hunting truck a S10 with the craptastic 2.8... So i kinda wish i had bought an even smaller one like those tear drop trailers or the Fiberglass airstream lookalikes the Casi ta or burro with out all the bathrooms and such... I think just a warm dry place to sleep is what i would like... I'm like many tent folk i like to spend time next to the fire outside because that is camping... Just like a little comfort when sleeping for the next days activities...

Only problem with snow is that you cant set chairs or anything with legs on the tent floor for risk of punching thru...

At my elk and deer camps, we usually do not have much snow so we set up on soil. If a bit of snow, I clear it to set the tent...

I use that green outdoor carpet. No problems with holes.
