It is well made and works very well.

Thanx for all the suggestions guys. I looked at everything on line.
I have narrowed it down to the Tipitent and a canvas "tipi" one pole style with short walls http://www.atuktents.com/accueil.asp?psec=3&choix=4&langue=en. Looked at some collapsible stoves too, that Kifaru stove pipe is one hell of an awesome idea.
Guess the next step is to phone around. My only concern with the Tipitent is it may not have a fiberglass stove ring, look like the stove pipe needs to have a heat shield around it at the opening. That and the nylon may melt from Sparks landing on it.

I'm pretty sure this one is the Outfitter.
It looks complicated but we can have it setup in no time at all. We just put the ropes wherever is convenient, it makes it look like a mess but the tent is secure.
I don't know if it has a stove ring. You can have an open fire right in the tent so it must be made of spark resistant material.

Holy spider webs batman! Don't try to stumble around that baby in the dark. lol
H4831 mention of Towney reminds me of a small book he wrote for the Western Cartridge Co in the early 30's. They were up in Canada hunting moose in Ontario and then in Northern BC for Stone Sheep Caribou and anything in between. I'll have to look at it to see what they had for camp in there. Mostly it was bragging how good the W's shells were but a great story none the less.
We used a lean too for opening day of sheep and were nearly eaten alive by the no-see-ums.
Last year on the 10 day trek we used a Nylon tent which would not apply for your request. It was nice to not worry about the creepy crawlies at night. As silly as it sounds, a good nights rest makes for a much better next day.
Of course that is before a ram is tagged. If you are up on a hill maybe just a guide tarp would suffice. You'll be so tired the bugs won't bother you.

Yeah that wouldn't be fun.
But, if you look at the terrain it's nice to have a tent that doesn't require having to stake it on the ground.
So far so good.

also, i was at one of the saskatchewan princess autos on the weekend and they have a small wood burning stove, complete with pipes that was selling for $150. it was fairly compact and weighed about about 27 lbs. everything packs neatly into the stove part. i think it was about 18 inches high and about 8 or 10 inches around. i've seen the same stove at the military surplus store selling for $190
there is also a lady in saskatchewan who makes wood burning stoves for tents and ice shacks for about $125 or so. i've seen them and they're very good quality. i don't have her number but if you do a google search for shewchuck outdoor supplies in canora, sask, you can take a look at the stove as he has them advertized on his website.
trust that helps
