[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1960444, member: 63925"] OK, for us normal size Yeti's, where my cot is 90x40 (yes that is a correct dimension!), and the other slightly smaller Yeti's in my group made a 10x12 seemed real tight with wood stove. My boots are size 164E so they take up one corner of the tent alone! 😂 You really have to take into consideration the size of the people that will occupy the tent as well. Personally I wished I had bought the 12x14 or even a 12x17 and it would have been SOOOO much better for the added space for drying gear, boots, general gear that you want in the tent. I also use those plastic Plano shelving units that use the tubes and buy 3 and make into 2 tall units. You can stash a ton of gear on them off the floor in relatively smaller spaces. Go up and tear down real easy as well. Wash off easy. The real question will you have enough space for cots, gear, table, small stools and maybe some firewood. Then do you have enough space to actually move about without tripping over everything. My perspective is the tent should have enough space so you are comfortable and provide the rest and relaxation after a hard day of hunting. I had to tear my down last year in a monster snowstorm bugout and it was a mess trying to clean off the canvas enough to pack up into large totes. But at the end of the day it is tough and held up fine to the heavy snow that we were in. [/QUOTE]
