My eight man AG's fly shredded last fall, and I was heartbroken. So, I have been shopping and asking and came up with a new tent for my three week deer camp. I went for the Cabelas XWT 12 x 12. I was really thinking hard about the Arctic Oven, but the floor plan and another door, (and the price !) turned the tide.
But for a short hunt, I want a tent that is easier for just me to put up, and just me and maybe my dog to sleep in. It has to be sturdy and weatherproof. Well, I bought a six man Eureka Timberline. I have had a four man Timberline for years. I like it, it keeps me dry and is dirt simple to set up. I just wanted a hair more room. The new tent is about 8.5 x10, and 6'3" tall.
Only downside to it is that they have added mesh to the roof and sides. Maybe I can fix that. The tent is small enough that heating it won't be a problem anyway.
The non- closeable mesh vents on the new AG tents made me choose the XWT for winter camping. It gets to -15 or 20 sometimes, up in my area, and I want every edge I can get.
