Hi Dave...my plan is to bike camp full time...I retired back in 2019...I moved to the Philippines so no cold weather here . summer starts here in march. Love the videos keep going😅

I'm 52 it nice to see some other follow campers trying new things. I'm not able to winter camp this winter but hopefully by April I'm out camping again. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

Great to see you back out. Looks like a sweet setup. Had our first good snow over here.

Great vid..hope u make more.

Well done you finally got a hot tent. Living in Canada and camping as much as you do a hot tent is a must. I have gone on some larger hot tent camping trips and they are a lot of fun. Most people think it's odd to get out in the freezing cold and go camping but I find something so zen about the whole thing. Your tent and stove look good. I noticed you used a cot, I havent tried that before makes me wonder if a cot is better than a air mattress? Thanks for the video and happy new year!

Great job with this video nice to see you back 😊

How did I miss the video. So well done Dave. I love the fall colors. Good on you for putting in all that hard work to make the trip happen!

Awesome job Dave, I love this kind of content. What is the tent and the stove?

Take a shot everytime he says its pretty warm in here.

Did this last night. Same tent similar stove. I live in Saskatchewan. Only got 1 to 1.5 hours max out of a full stovebox. Dried birch is one of the best woods to burn.

Cool video! Love the adventure. Subscribed

Thanks for posting another entertaining video. You may not be the greatest chef, but you're better than me! I've never done a "hot tent" camping, but your video is giving me some motivation to give it a try.

Dave, just a few friendly tips: • using birch bark in your stove is fine. People do it all the time • "There's a rule with firewood: if you think you have enough, double it." • make some sort of platform under the stove so you don’t wake up to it sitting in a mud puddle in the morning • having a fire in the stove with one entire wall of the tent open is a) creating more work for yourself cutting firewood you otherwise wouldn’t have to b) wasting firewood you might need at 4am • when you do something good, like your one match fire, it’s ok to take a minute a relish your success. It’s a good confidence booster. That was very impressive😊 • your winter sleeping bags temperature rating (comfort, not survival rating) should be what you’d need if you didn’t have the stove. That’s kind of a survival tip too. Also, there is kind of a split decision on what to wear in your sleeping bags. I’m of the school of thought where I wear gym shorts and a t-shirt. Many others wear layers upon layers of clothing. I think that’s because their sleeping bag wouldn’t keep them warm enough otherwise • Kevin Callan aka KCHappyCamper has a great “Winter Camping 101” video that’s I’ve watched several times.

Great video. I especially enjoyed the snow dance in the beginning…lol You have a wonderful sense of humor and a good upbeat attitude. I truly enjoy your videos. You always put a smile on my face. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure. Be well and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Interesting video Dave...quite the little set up for sure!

I never lie about my inexperience when it comes to camping. While i have improved on my camping skills over the past few years i am still learning new things. I have never tried hot tent camping...until today! It was a lot if work but also a lot of fun.

Fantastic tent! Have a nice weekend buddy

Hi Dave great to see you out doing some winter camping nice tent & stove , Yes you can use birch bark in the wood stove to start your fire, I see campers use it all the time , in their stoves.. Meals as always looked tasty . Is your sleeping pad insulated for winter camping ? that would keep ya warmer as would a hot water bottle in your sleeping bag. Give that a try and get some insulated outdoor camp slippers . Hope to see more videos enjoyed this , makes me want to go camping ... however I cant wait until Spring .. hope you had an awesome Christmas , hope the New Year is good to ya .. Ontario , Canada .

I'm about your same age and like solo camping. Your videos are really well done. Keep up the good work.

UM, UM, Good-Chipmunk tastes like Chicken…… Just saying…….🤔

Refreshing take on bike packing, love the humour

That's not a tarp, that's a marquee!

Thanks, once again for bringing us along. It's nice to see someone who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes and I just really enjoy your videos!

Making this vid with all the cuts looks like it must have been a lot of work. But it was peacefully enjoyable. And I daresay your kids will really appreciate having vids like this as they grow up and reach your age too.

Enjoyed the content! Sub'ed!!

oh man the wind really sucks while camping. I wouldn't take a chance with falling trees, get out of there!

Another great video David. I don't like to camp in the rain but you made it look enjoyable!

This. Is. Awesome. Thank you for sharing this. I was at CL this summer and really wanted to know what these campsites were like. I hiked along this trail but never saw the sites.

Love camping in the rain. Nice video.

Cool video

Maybe consider an A frame lower to the ground for better coverage? Either way a day outdoors even in the rain beats sitting inside watching RUclips 😁 thanks for sharing your trip!

I was going to say the title should be, "Man in his 50s suffers in the pouring rain." but you looked quite comfortable out there. I have been out at the cabin in awful rain and i did not mind it but in a tarp is next level. Nice work my man! That cot looked good.

Breathing is off please get check out and start working out 🏋️‍♀️ wholesome advice! Great video loved the tarp so huge !Where did you purchase from?!

That is one hell of a tarp you have there. It's a pity that it doesn't have a couple of tie out points in the middle so you could tie it up & get a little more head room. The best thing about camping out in the rain is that there are less people about plus the sound of the rain on the tarp is so relaxing & soothing. Thanks for taking us along. I'd contact the backpack manufacturers to ask over adjusting it - they may have the answer. Just subscribed to your channel

Great camp . Personally i like camping in the rain with the different sounds and the woodland smells. What make of tarp is that? I’ve seen a few people use the silver reflectors and wondered if it makes a difference?

HOW can someone not give you a like 👍 putting yourself out there? i camped almost a whole year. oh it rained.. i liked it 😁

Now i remember why i have a tent.

“Rain or shine” 👍 when I get the chance to go out not much will stop me.

Rain makes for great camping 😀 You have one massive tarp my friend 😱

Nice camoing! Enjoyed it very much!

Great job my friend…. Nice setup for sure…👍🏻 Those GSI mugs definitely work great…‼️ Thanks for sharing and Stay Strong 💪🏻…👍🏻‼️

Just found this channel as I was out hammock camping wow you make great vids

Đi du lịch bụi thế này phải có lều chuyên dung mới được, còn chỉ tấm bạt thế này thì rất bất tiện không che được mưa lớn 😂😅

Bluntly, It's your backpack. I have Men's Trekking Backpack 70 L - MT100 EASYFIT Not too expensive but easy to fit and wear. Im not biased on my backpack and i know there's better ones out there. I just know this one is great for now.

Found your channel and love your content. Thanks for taking me along.

Another good one Dave. Any time in the woods is time well spent. See you on your next adventure. Have a great weekend!

You are a braver man than I sir, lol! Any time you can have a fire is the best! What happens if the rain direction changes in the middle of the night...do you just 'get wet'?

right on! Always great to camp in the rain! Lucky the mozzies didn't get ya!

Thanks Dave for your efforts. It is just great to be outdoors it is good for the mind
