Lets see pics of your hunting camp!

What kind of tent is that? And how do you like it? Small package? Easy to setup? I’m looking to replace my big luxe tipi but not sure what I want to go with.

This is the Amazon special with the cabelas stove. It was the cheapest best product we could find.

The tent is decent. The instructions suck or don't come at all in the package. It has a centre post and a V frame for the door. You have to be firm but careful putting them in as the material can tear. It's decent material but similar to a normal tent where if you touch it the water can pull through. It served 2 people well and you could fit a third but it gets crowded fast and we found that we needed some air space around the perimeter to get better heat distribution and not get wet spots. It's pretty straight forward and kept us dry. If you've never tented in the cold you'll want to do short trips and practice. It has no insulation so we burned a ton of wood tryjng to keep warm and still woke up to frozen water bottles. A face cord for 7 days and that's trying to conserve as much as possible, we easily could have burned a cord of good dry wood. The stove is meant to be light and has no bricks or lining so as soon as there's no fire it's cooling rapidly.

The size was the best plus. Folds down small and leaves you with a 10x16x24 inch about package for a tent that's a 12 foot circle errected. The stove packs up into itself so they more or less both fit into a Rubbermaid ish.

We wrapped the stove pipe in exhaust wrap and that's a must where it goes through the roof. We also purchased a welding blanket for the floor and we would have burned holes in it otherwise.

There's an additional floor tarp and rain/winter roof tarp option, I'd recommend those for heat loss and humidity control. We didn't buy them and regretted it. We will likely get them before the next trip.

We camped 10 days in sub zero last season with it and had no real issues with the product. You still need a bag rated for whatever weather you're in but the option to warm up and cook food was great. The previous year we tent camped in small solo pop tents and spent all our time outside or in the cold with no reprieve other than hot hands in a sleeping bag and it was intense.

I'm happy with it for my needs and what I spent but it's not a perfect setup. We can atv it into places or pack a car and hike if we wanted to work too hard so it has some pros.
 
Here's my slice. Built in the 30's, we took possession in 97. Did a fair amount of "work" over the years and now dad is working on re-chinking and staining as he feels like it. The only thing the sons of the original owner wanted from the cabin was the mounts, so we brought them home and never heard from them again, eventhough they only lived an hour from us, so back up they went. My nephew has been old enough to come up with my dad and I the past couple years, you can't buy those kind of memories.

Beauty looking spot! They don't build them like that anymore!
 
Here is this years camp for just me and one friend. Very simple, tent for sleeping, EZ-up over the picnic table at a Rec Site for the kitchen.

I brought my propane firepit along. Normally I only use it during the summer/fire ban season with the kiddos, but I gotta say its fan-####ing-tastic in this sort of scenario too. Not having to do any of the work of a real fire when you just wanna make dinner and go to bed, or having the option to fire it up for 5 minutes while your water boils in the morning was a luxury I very much appreciated and will definitely make use of again!

Just lost the camp actually. Land owner was getting old and was wanting to get his affairs in order so he listed the property and we needed to have it all cleared out. My dad and his buddy's had it since 96-97. Small and drafty but it was a good place to dry off and warm up when it was freezing out.

You don't kmow what you got till it's gone lol

I first thought that was an old houseboat with the way the front top looks! Lol I really like the add on. Nothing beats a wood fire stove when it's wet out.
