One thing I'll say is that if I order another SO tent, I'll DEFINITELY order it seam sealed. Takes a long time to do on a big tent. Crikey.

TB,
Here's my two bits!
8x10 Wall Tent - three guys, no cots, minimal gear inside the tent, coleman cooking stove, no wood stove, was tight but easy set up...
12x14 Wall Tent - three guys, perfect size, allowed for a table for cooking etc, woodstove, gear storage, three cots and fold up chairs to sit on in case of crappy weather. The only downfall is that it would be a bit of a chore to set up by yourself.
10x12 Wall Tent - might be the best compromise, allow for wood stove, smaller cooking table, cots and gear storage...Would be a tight fit with three cots across one end though. But, you can get brackets that will turn normal cots into 'bunk cots' and you could set it up by yourself.
I looked in a Tipi Tent once, all I could think was that there was a lot of wasted space given the sloped walls...

About 85% of the square footage of a 12x14 wall tent, should be able to get 2 cots in there w/ wood stove. Maybe even 3

Just spent 12 days sleeping in a Deluxe Wall Tent north of Mackenzie, heavy frost and a dusting of snow was the norm to find in the mornings and we slept so comfortably. The tent on the right, if my memory serves me correctly is an 8 x 10 x 5 Deluxe wall tent with porch. We used it as a cook / kitchen tent this trip. That tent heats up pretty quick with a little wood stove in there.
The second tent was a 16 x 14 Deluxe Wall Tent with Porch and we comfortably slept 4 people with room for another two easy to sleep comfortably. Site sponsor made, and locally made in BC. Just saying

The stove in the center is great as no cold spots and sit on your cot by the stove .

just looked at that Reliable mountain spike 10x10x4 looks usable . I do not need a 14x16 anymore .

Arctic Oven for my next tent, great first hand reviews.
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

I've been extremely happy with my Snowtrekker Basecamp wall tent. 10X13, 4 person. Sleeps 3 very well with cots firewood, tables etc... I use a Knico stove. I've been using the tent for 4 season's now and it's super light and compact. Total weight with poles is only 31lbs. These tents were designed for backcountry expedidtion sled trips so they are built to last. Runs about $1585 U.S. without stove. Bought mine used for $1000 Canadian.
