Huntaway,
Great pictures. Yesterday I was at a surplus store looking at one of those army tents. How do you like it? The store wants 3-5 hundred for a small tent depending on condition. They also have the larger ones, which is what it looks like you have. The one they had set up in the store was a command tent. I'd have to think the army tent would be pretty tough. I just really like the idea of coming back after a hard day of hunting to a place I can stand up in and get undressed, maybe relax a little and warm up around a stove. I wonder if you can buy the army tents new?

Bugs11 specifically, (and anybody elsse that is interested)
You mentioned the Army tent at the suplus store and for a bunch of reason. I won''t say you are wrong. Everybody else makes good points too. Something that you might consider if that is what you want is to go through
DRMO. That is Defense Reutilization managment office. You can do a web search for them. that is where the military sells of old still usable equipment that isn't being used any more. That is where the surplus stores get all their stuff. Figure, if they are asking 500 for the tent, I bet the bought it for 100 or 200 tops. You'll have to look into that. Anyhow, depending on how much stuff, and how many guys you have going, set one up, and put a little keorsene potbelly military heater in there. It will be HOT in there. The tents have a stove pipe hole in the roof for the heater.
This is just a thought. Not trying to say anybody is wrong either. You all make valid points concerning the Carbon monoxide...etc. Either way, you can still get the tent and not use the heater too.
hope this helps somebody.
