Throw a tarp over the top, ensures you stay dry in severe wet conditions, plus the snow slides off way easier.
We use propane and it is way easier than running a wood stove. Instant heat, Instant cool down with no worries about something starting a fire once you leave in the morning to hunt. The propane keeps us dry and warm, can bring one of the oxygen sensors to keep safe however we have never had an issue. Only takes 1 time though...
We put down the outdoor carpeting, much nicer in there with that down.
Mouse traps are always nice to keep the critter numbers down. Also do not put your cot right against the support poles if they are wood. We used to till a mouse climbed the pole, jumped on my dad's cot and then tried to crawl into his mouth while he was sleeping! Was the funniest thing ever to see him freaking out at 2am, lol
Bring some small rope to tie between rafters, gives you a clothes line to dry clothes on. Also, use the "tall" cots, then you can shove your tubs that hold clothes/gear under them to conserve space.
We never "snap" the clips on the outside of the door, cause that is the perfect indicator that says "no one is hear" enter at your own pleasure. If there is a truck out front and just the zipper closing it, I feel people are way less likely to try and enter tent.
