Wall tent stove suggestions for late season cow hunts

[myshootinstinks]

Not with the right airtight Wood stove thats for a house.
I've been in wall tents in the Bighole valley near Wisdom MT. when it was -20 we took turns filling it up once in the middle of the night.
Putting a tarp over your roof to help hold the heat in works wonders.

I won't argue that. We've gone for several years in a house that had only a woodstove, no furnace. Airtight wood stoves for a house would normally be to big & heavy to haul for a tent but I guess it can be done.

Those stoves may not work for him depending on elevation if I remember right. Riley recommended against it.

Yeah, above 8000 feet you are stuck with a wood stove, a person shouldn't really have base camp above 8,000ft anyway.

It can be if your doing it out of a pick up or trailer of course.

Seriously, now we have where a tent should and shouldn't be set up? . I set mine above 8000 my bad. I'm just letting others know, that the stove could be a **** poor recommendation if above 8000ft. I'll try to figure out what elevation my base camp should be set at before I go hunting this year.

Minus 15 C and no problem. Warm and cozy in the tent.

Where's the television?

What do guys use to move all that gear, an 18 wheeler semitrailer truck? Definitely not horses.

We normally stayed between two and three weeks. It took about three hours to set up and take down but it was worth it. There was even cell service the last couple times because the gas exploration companies set up towers to communicate with their employees working in the bush.

The whole works packed into the back of my one ton truck and I pulled a 7x11 trailer with two quads on it. The moose would go on top the quads on the way home. Later I bought a 7x14 cargo hauler and had lots of extra room in that so I didn't have to be as fussy packing.

So I hunt near Pagosa Springs that is already at 7125'. Not much room to stay under 8K......

I hear that. We are at approximately 9135'.

WOW I lived in a three-man tent for a month on Denali.
Only flame was to heat food and melt snow.

So the whole thread changed to altitude. Stupid. If you camp above 8000ft use wood. I don't give a flying **** what YOU do or camp at. I said a BASE camp should be below 8,000ft(and there are good reasons for that). Well if you live at 8,000 add that 8,000 to the altitude for your personal enjoyment. **** doesn't burn the same there but you are certainly welcome to go ******* try it. I guess in the end you will figure out that people who carry that much **** up a mountain aren't doing it on a horse or their backs. So, riley pellet burners don't ******* work beyond 8,000. Who gives a ****, you aren't going to haul 40 pound bags up there anyway. And you can camp any ******* where you want. I've done it.
