Absolutely - the answer is yes. As a race, we've grown soft and many of those who think they are quite outdoors man, would not fair well without a stove in their tent, during a fall or spring hunts.

Every morning, Keith and I would get up and to go around to the clinet's tents and start fires in their stoves for them. Thus, they had a warm tent to get up in & get dressed - AND IT WASN'T EVEN FREEZING YET. My tent has never had a stove and I'm still using the same tent since 1984, a 12x9 cotton Eureka, w/aluminum frame - good tent - I do however like to to sit and palaver with the other guides in the cook tent until the coffee is ready - the stove does take the chill off. This, of course, after starting those stove fires, - first things first, for the 'clients'.
