What’s your choice of wall tent size ? Any recommendations on manufacturers ? We are a family of 5. Thinking of a 14x16 with a 10’ porch. I have been looking at Deluxe and Northwest tents. I see there is also Polar on the island.

The Rocky Mountains is the Marrow of the World"Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline."

We camped a family of 5 in a 12x14 with a 5foot porch, used two sets of bunk cots and made plenty of room. If I were to but the tent again I would probably have opted for a bigger porch. The bunk cots are great also I bought organizers that hang from the tent frame, they have a dozen pockets in them great for storing all the little things . Bought mine from northwest shelters in surrey. They have changed Thier name but we're really good people to deal with.

We have tents from all three of the manf mentioned above All three are great tents. A 14x16 should be plenty of room for 5 with a stove and gear. Good call on the porch! moosin

The wall tent I had did not have a floor. I actually prefered this.Originally Posted by Arctic Lake
I tarped mine before every use.
Fwiw, I had a 10x12 with 5' porch and its the perfect size for 2 cots/stove/gear.

All the tents I have come with a fly, I dont use a wall tent without one! A floor is very nice, but extra weight. I use indoor outdoor carpet with one, and a RV mat with the other. The 14x16 has a velcro in floor! Moosin

My only experience is with deluxe and they are great quality. I don't use a floor so I can walk in without taking my boots off. Use a mat by each cot for getting dressed.

Canvas loses it waterproofing and has to be renewed .Not having anywhere to put it up at our place, I just used a large Princess Auto sliver tarp as a fly . A piece of indoor/outdoor carpet for under the cots made a nice floor. I had a tarp under it. I had a 12x14, it was comfortably roomy for three cots , table, and stove. I made a pole kit for it, as they were very pricey when bought my tent. I added a patio with KMS pole connectors and another PA silver tarp. Those PA silver tarps are well worth it. For stakes I used 12" galvanized spikes . They needed collars . I made mine out of 1/4" PVC from work. It didn't happen all at once, rather as needed.

we prefer no floor, can walk in with muddy boots no big deal. a small piece of artificial turf under each cot works well.

we used to be able to leave poles at a camp site and expect them to still be there the next year
Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC
Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC
