Default RE: wall tent recommendations, tips

Mine is a 14 x 17 realite by Montana Canvas. I love it. Sleeps 4 comfortably with plenty of room for storing guns, gear, etc. We keep the tack outside under a tarp. The stove jack is in the front left side. Works fine. 4' walls work fine. I didn't get a frame since we pack into lodgepole country. We cut our own poles which makes a great camp although it takes a couple hours to pitch the tent. Tent weighs 32 pounds and packs great as a top pack on one of the pack animals. Mildew proof, fire proof and water proof. Have been using it for 7 years now. The stove fell down and melted the bottom of one wall and the ground flap but no fire. It still works; just a little melted. Expensive tent but worth it. My old canvas one weighed 75 lbs. and rotted out in a few years. My fault; I didn't dry it properly. The new one doesn't matter. I try not to; but I can store it when still damp--no problem.
