Get one of those cheap 12x12 plastic tarps, spread it on the ground and then have your buddies just stand on it.
14x16 would be as small as I'ld want to go for 4 people,unless it's just you and the top 3 Dallas cowboy cheerleaders....
Alaknak look really neat, and are simple to set up, but that polyester material won't hold the heat nor stop the wind the way a good ol heavy canvas wall tent does.


It stops the wind just fine. It was a ND blizzard on this hunt. -15 on the truck thermometer several mornings. We were cozy and warm the entire time.

4 people and no stove would fit but be cozy. You will not fit 4 and a woodstove without killing each other.

2 people a stove and vestibule are about right when it is really nasty out. Better weather you could stuff more folks into it.
