Default RE: What Is Your Favorite Elk Camp Set Up?

I've got a 12x14 wall tent with 5' side walls. I use a wood heater. The tent says it will sleep 5---truth is 5 is way too crowded, 4 is OK, but 3 is perfect. I would like to get another to use as a cook tent. We 4 wheel drive back in as far as we can over some pretty rough trails & camp at the trail head to the wilderness. Sounds strange but I found that I like to take up 1/2 cord of wood that I cut & split in the summer---- It's already cured & dry---just throw a tarp over the stack. Cutting firewood for the stove takes some time during the setup & if it's snowing well everything gets wet including me !! For the campfire we will cut some wood up. That's usually thew 1st night after that it's dinner then hit the cot. Nothing like coming back to a warm camp after a long day of elk hiking !! No horses at my camp--It's the shoe leather express!! I use to pack the elk out on my back but the older I get the more I like using a cell phone & call my outfitter friend & pay a couple of hundred to get it back to camp.
