Here is the new tent Art bought from Whip. Early archery season in upstate New York this past weekend. We had wind ,rain,rain and cool weather and it kept us warm and dry ! :campfire: The little cylinder stove is a must have. Here Art and Larry are trying to figure out where all the deer are hiding :dunno:

I have a panther trapper that looks like that you can heat it with a couple candles
Sweet!!
Very nice! What size tent and fly did he get. How many of you slept in his tent?
Nice camp :thumbsup:
It's the 12x12x9. We slept three of us on cots but thats pretty snug when using the center pole. The good thing is I could refill the stove without getting off my cot. The fly is just and old canvas tent cut apart but worked fine. Now if Art will just let me borrow the tent for my elk hunt ......
I started using the outside pole method it sure gives you lot more room.
Saw seven of these while hunting. Didn't want to shorten a good hunt by shooting a deer. Something about those mountains keeps calling me.

Now that's a sweet looking tent there.
I think we are going to try the two pole outside set up. Do you use your fly with just the fly hole on the tent holding the pole ?
Very nice camp.I love the tent.
Good luck with the DEERS.
MAY THE SPIRIT OF FRED BEAR GUIDE OUR ARROWS.
This is how it all started a few years ago.

Love a good camp - yours is a goodun!
please tell me what is a cylinder stove?
Cool! My favorite kind of camp! :goldtooth:
Glad to see the tent worked out well. Sure is nice in wet weather like that to be able to get inside and stoke up the woodburner.
opps29, the Cylinder Stoves are a brand name of a woodburner made for use in canvas tents. There is a page for them on my website that shows pictures.
I found via a visiting friend from Sweden; that if you place a large rock on the woodstove; it will heat up and keep you warm until the morning hunt.
I am a tent freak. :archer2:
That camp is calling my name. It's amazing being out in mother nature.
rain.... now thats a surprise.... :saywhat:
A couple of years ago Whip was kind enough to bring a tent for Robtattoo, Steve Tottingham, and me to use on a West Texas pig hunt with Gene and Barry. We had some really high winds- one episode blew a good sized camping trailer around 180 degrees. Our tent- similar to yours- and Whip's larger model were rock steady. Great tent, great guy to deal with. I'm sure you'll get great service and make some great memories. Congrats- GY
Nice tent, is it canvas?
Is the table still standing?
I love that tent, especially with that fly.
I've added it to the wish list.

Just make sure that big ole rock ain't soaking wet or from a creek bed...I've seen them puppies used in fire rings heat up the moisture inside and then blow apart like they had a 1/4 stick laid on em!
Makes for some interesting stories if you dodge the shrapnel! :)
Bob,
Nice looking tent and set up you guy's got there. Say could you tell me what the weight of that cylinder stove is when its all packed up?
Thanks, Brian
"Whip" has good products and does darn good work(Bow Hospital) as well. Don't hesitate to contact him if you have a question about tents or stoves. He is one of the good guys. :clapper:
that little cylinder stove is a must have! not sure what it weighed, but you can carry it with one arm. Just don't let Bob load it up and then fall back asleep without shutting down the dampers...that little baby will get roaring.
Art and I spent the weekend trying to figure out where the deer were, now Bob on the other hand...well that guy is like a magnet for any critter he's hunting.
Looking at the same tent. Wondering where you put the stove jack and where the stove is in the tent in relation to the pole and everything else?? I have a stove ready to go but need the tent part to complete my set up.
You can have the stove jack placed wherever you like on the tent. My preference is left side wall which leaves enough room just inside the door for a small wood pile.
On my larger tent (15x15) I had the stove hole put closer to the front which leaves me with just enough room for the stove and a cot along that side wall. On the 12x12 like Art's I suggest centering it on the wall.
Bob,
Yes the table is still standing, but it's going to need a little TLC. Rain is a staple up there !
The tent is canvas and the stove weighs under 20lbs.
Larry,
I wasn't sleeping just resting my eyes.
Good lookin outfit.
