RE: stoves
We only have one 12x14 wall tent. We make an awning about 10x14 out the front of the tent. For warming the tent, we have an army surplus wood stove. It's about 18" around, and about that tall also. It works pretty good for that small of a tent. For cooking, we have a Cabelas Outfitters 3 burner stove (which is done in the awning). We carry 3 25lb propane bottles. One to run the stove, and one to run a lantern which sets on a tree coming off the bottle, and one as a spare. We don't have a spike camp set up yet, but I am sure it won't involve any source of heat, lol. As far as wood, we just cut some close to camp. Pretty easy, and gets us out anyway. We like to make sure we are in an area that has some deadfall, which isn't much trouble around here. Not too hard to find a bug-killed pinon or dead aspens, and in some cases white pine or douglas fir.
