RE: Check List
We also use a 14x16 for moose (4 guys). Matter of fact I leave in 2 days. Make sure every body has a cot to sleep on, we all use the army style ones with the metal frames. All our clothes gets packed in plastic Rubbermaid totes that fit neatly under our cots. Keeps everything dry and mice don't get in them. We also bring a fire extinguisher just in case. As for a floor we have a piece of artificial turf (astroturf?) and we cut around the wood stove and just have dirt under it. For a table we have a 30" by 60" sheet of plywood with folding table legs. Before you use your new tent you should buy some canvas mildew retardent and paint the whole tent with it. This may sound stupid but make sure you bring a shovel to dig a proper latrine. We actually make one beforehand (just a wood box, no floor, and a strofoam SM seat) and save alot of monkeying around that way. We also invested in a set of metal poles for ours, again it saves alot of time cutting trees to set up the tent. With a good wood stove you will be amazed how comfortable a wall tent can be. Nothing else says BIG GAME more than a comfortable wall tent. You made the right choice.
