Pugs, good info, my dad and I had made a cookshack for the front of my 10x12 wall tent, it was 13 ft wide by 10 ft, and extended over the roof of the wall tent, and along the sides. The cook shack made the whole setup very nice for 3 hunters. We had a cook / social room, and used the 10 x12 only for sleeping.
I might add on tents collapsing in snow, you need to pay attention to the load and deal with it at times. I always had a plastic tarp above mine, and that helps snow to slide off. But like saddlesore stated, on some of those setups with a center pole, not sure how you would deal with a heavy snow load, unless you took a broom to it often. Maybe someone with one of those cabela's setups could chime in. I always liked the looks of them, but not the cost.
