[QUOTE="Wingnut, post: 1073057, member: 8721"] I have the Alaknak in the 12x20 and the Big Horn as well. I purchased the Alaknak for our family outings and the BIghorn for more hunting with just a few guys. After using both I prefer a couple things about the Alaknak over the Big Horn. First is the higher wall. It accommodates cots along the wall much better than the low wall Big Horn. You have to scoot the cots in the Big Horn away from the walls which takes up room in the interior. The second is the stove is located by the door in the Alaknak. I might just be partial to having it there for years of canvas wall tents, but in the Big Horn you have to carry the wood to the back and stack it there. The stove in the front by the door in the Alaknak allows you to place the wood in the vestibule. The Alaknak did very well in the snow and held up to 11 inches in one night without sagging the roof. It has a steep enough slope that the snow slid off with the stove going. The vestibule did not fair as well, but still held up to the snow without collapsing. I will be purchasing a 12x12 to replace the Big Horn this year. [/QUOTE]
