Here is my 2008 December archery hunting camp in lower northern Michigan. I was able to keep very warm and toasty with the cylinder wood stove. Who else likes to hunt and camp in the snow and cold. Show you winter hunting camps.   :campfire:

That looks like an awesome setup. I've been itching to get a canvas tent and one of the little cylinder wood stoves and do some winter camping.
It's more important where you hit 'em, than what you hit 'em with!

I'm from Alberta, Canada and I love winter camping more than I do summer camping. We'll go ice fishing for a few days and stay in wall tents with wood stoves. To me it seems like the only time you really need a fire and it feels so good to sit beside that stove. I live for it!!

If going to the bathroom involves boots and a jacket...

I think the pic(s) you want are on another thread involving wood vs. propane as a heating medium.

How big is the top on the cylinder stove.  I've got a couple rectangular stoves and the big tops really come in handy for dish/bath water and drying things.  I bring high cooling racks to put on top.
Been a long time since I did any - camping.

Doctari,

Do you have a floor in that tent?  do most people have floors in their wall tents or are they just bare ground?

They look awesome and a great way to enjoy the winter.  I am looking into them now.

Larry, the cylinder stoves come in four different sizes.  The smallest is the Scout, which has a 10.5 x 16" top, on up to the largest Yukon model with an 18 x 28" top.  The most popular for an average sized tent is the Hunter model at 14 x 24".  All models also have an optional warming tray which expands the top surface and is a great accessory.

I have the Scout and the Hunter models listed on my website link below, but of course can also order any of the others that you might be interested in.  

Here is a picture of the basic stove without the warming tray:

This wasn't exactly winter (September in the Rockies) but it felt close enough  ;)

Nice stove:  Just a hint, put about an inch of gravel or sand in the bottom of the stove before using.  It really helps keep the fire going and retains heat.

My 14x20 wall tent doesnt have a floor in it, I took an old roll of carpet the last time I went, It was better than my bedroom carpet...

I use carpet too Mike.  I found the very cheapest indoor/outdoor stuff they had.  Light to pack and lay out and dries easily.  All the comforts of home!

Here's a couple. Wasn't supposed to be winter.  Third week in September.
Bit of a blizzard going on.



Little later, brushed off the tent, sky cleared.

Ghost dancer, I use carpets that cover all the inside except for under my wood stove. This was a fall pic here. As you can see I even set up my cook area.

That's one sweet set up Mark!  While I never camp in winter for hunting, me and my buddies used to hike in and camp in Cranberry Glades in WV during March (college spring break) and about every year our tents would collapse in wee hours of the morning with snow fall...talk about cold!!!!  Froze our butts off every year, but had a blast and caught trout until you got tired of it!!!!  I didn't have a digital camera then, or I'd definately have some pics of those tents collapsed on everybody!
