I have about talked myself into taking the plunge for a canvas wall tent. Weight is not an issue, since it will be used as a base camp (truck accesible).
Anyone have any experience on size? I have 3 growing boys, the wife and I. It will be for summer trips as well as hunting trips.
My buddy has a 12x12 Cabela's Alanak (not sure of the spelling there...), and on a typical elk or deer trip, there are 3 guys in it and it gets crowded.
I am thinking minimum of 14x16 with a 6 foot porch so we can keep some stuff out of the sleeping area. If I put a stove in it, I am not sure if that is gonna be big enough. Stove would only be for hunting trips, but as the boys get old enough to go with - it could end up with 5-6 guys sleeping in it.
I don't want to invest a couple of grand for tent and frame and accessories and then kick myself for too little room or way too much room.
Thanks in advance
