This is what I'm thinking so far.... Davis Tent 10 oz 16x20 w/angle kit and window, extension for awning, and fly
Summit stove I think that's the brand and model I liked...
Every thing else is pretty much up in the air....

The stoves that Davis sells are great! Hold a fire all night! I think you will be set with what you are planning. The also sell Bags for the poles. They will probably throw those in with the tent if you ask.

You can't go wrong with the set-up you are looking at. With wood stoves... lots of good ones on the market, make sure to get the biggest model. The more wood you can stuff into it the better on those long, cold nights! :twocents:
We bought a kwik Kamp octagon stove this year. We weren't quite sure about spending $500 for a stove,but we couldn't be happier. It holds a ton of wood and actually keeps a fire going ALL NIGHT. Our last stove we'd have to stoke 3-4 times over night. The KK is nice and airtight and will have coals in it after 12 hours.
We're very impressed.
As for tents,do a search. We've hashed this out numerous times. We chose a Rainier tent. They're local and have been building tents for 100 years. Before he quit hunting my grandpa had used the same Rainiers for 30 years.
We have a 16x20 and SLEEP 6 guys on big Cabelas cots just fine. If we cooked and hung out in them we'd probably have gotten a couple smaller tents. We spend all our time out by the fire so the 16x20 works great.

We purchased a 3 Dog stove from 4 Dog Stove Company because of the baffle inside, which is designed to hold the heat in the fire box longer: http://www.fourdog.com/. We haven't had much occasion to use it in really bad weather, so can't testify about its use in a big storm.
You might consider a slightly different concept, though, by looking at the Kifaru tipi: https://www.kifaru.net/TIPI2009.html. They make them in sizes from 1 man to 24 man, they support a stove, and are about 1/8th the weight of the wall tent. If I was buying again, I would probably opt for the Kifaru tipi instead of my wall tent.

Talk to Kyle at Davis tent. He'll answer all your questions and treat you right!
Don't know who I talked to.... The name slipped my mind.... But he was very informative and helpful.... Great place of business!!!!!!!!

The big Cabela's cots are the only way to go. Get the coat rack and night stand that attach to the cot.

I own a cylinder stove, and for what ever reason the top has sunk down about 1/2 inch and is completely warped. I cant put a pan or pot on top to cook because it is so warped. I dont know whether I got a bad piece of steel that they constructed it with or what. I like the stove it just hasnt held up. I suppose I should call them.
Is this the one I almost bought from you bearhunter? How's the new walltent you and your partner got?

Ya same stove, you want it now :chuckle:. Im going to see what they will do for me, hopefully they will replace it. Heres some pictures of our setup from this year in Montana. Its a 16x23 Montana Canvas Blend tent. 10oz canvas roof with Relite sides. Im pretty happy with it other than the Relite is a little bit louder in the wind, much lighter tent though. The aluminum frame is worth its weight in gold! I wish they had better bags for the frame set though.

Nice setup! Hope you guys did well this year over there. My friend from work didn't have any success this year during archery elk there. Said it was too warm where they were at. I think I'll pass on the stove now :chuckle: I'm actually thinking of getting one with a pellet feeder. What are you using for the floor in that thing?

Here's A Possibilty:
If you burn the stoves too hot they can get cherry red and thats when they might warp, any portable stove you allow to get red hot could warp, just don't let them get that hot. Might have happened if you filled the stove and went to bed or left to go hunt.

p.s. Love my Cylinder stove, just remember to "burn" it out every now and then with a nice hot fire to keep the creosote down.

As for a tent frame.. Not sure how good you are at do it yourself, but you can save a TON of $$ if you build your own and its not that hard ! For the price that most dealers sell an internal frame for, you can build 2 yourself.

In cold weather, put a plastic tarp over it and it will keep the tent warmer. You can use brass grommets to custom fit the tarp to the tent holes. Easy to install.
I hope this is easy to understand. If not and you need more info, PM me.

If you get a canvass tent and it is not treated, you can treat it with Thompson's original. This will make it last till you are dead if you store it properly.

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?
Post by: Deep Forks on February 06, 2010, 12:02:20 AM
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.
Next in this series----OUR OUTHOUSE :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

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.
