    I have experienced-37c while sleeping in a tent for a week in northern Sweden during my military service. Its brutal and quite dangerous. You have to constantly move and be aware of face, feet and hands to check for numbness. Once it’s getting numb it’s quite difficult to get it warm again. My toes are still very sensitive to cold due to this exposure 30 years ago.

    As a Russian, I'm really proud our products reach US/Canadian markets. You don't see it very often.
    The tent looks really heavy duty, and it is also pretty pricey.
    Me personally, I was brought up in hiking camping culture, which means small tent, good sleeping bag and no stove. Seeing someone using fire inside a tent still looks very exotic to me.
    Ah, what I'd give to camp in a Canadian or Alaskan winter for once...

    My friends and I bought a tent of this series (only the largest - UP7) and went hunting. What can I say - there is enough space for three. The folding rigid door is very convenient.
    Also, during the night storm, the tent was turned over by the wind (we were too lazy to fix all the tripwires, for which we were punished by nature). Thanks to the engineers who developed the oven - while we were trying to get out of the tent for three minutes in the dark, not a single coal fell out of the oven (by the way, we have an oven - like the author of this video).
    To summarize - the thing is super reliable, but do not be lazy to fasten on all the ropes.

    Just a little tip. Before before you head out next time clarify your butter at home. What burns is the milk solids, so if you remove through clarification, you have a much higher smoke point with just the fats. It also has a much longer shelf life if you're ever camping in hotter weather. It won't spoil.
    Great video, I really enjoyed it.

    I've regularly put up a tent in Canadian winter's on hidden side roads, driving across Canada rather than paying for a motel. When I have had to stay in a hotel I miss that tent so much. The bed in this video is very heavy, but super good. Love it. The alternative is the ultra light weight 6 pounder that is also very comfortable and keeps you that six inches off the ground. The 6 man tent above is really a luxury tent, and is a fantastic family possession.

    Congrats on your new Russian Bear UP5 hot tent👏👏👏 Tent comes with a door for easy access in and out. I have the same setup in the UP2 version with medium stove. Awesome tent. I added the vestibule with inner liner 2x3( 6 feet wide x 9 feet long,zips up to the tent) comes with a stove jack,add a small or medium stove for the vestibule if needed. You can store your Skidoo in the vestibule in extreme conditions. But your gonna have to extend your deck another 10 feet for the vestibule. Build a ramp to drive your Skidoo into the vestibule. Your Skidoo will stay nice and toasty...just a thought. The vestibule comes in handy for storing your wood,gear,Skidoo...ect. I use the small Danchel wood stove for the vestibule, does a great job keeping it warm...mind you, your gonna need alot of wood..haha! I've taken the tent out a few times ice fishing, the screw pegs secure the tent to the ice very well,not a problem. Your gonna have a great time in your new hot tent 👍Stay safe and healthy my friend 👊 💥 Happy New Year 🎊🎉🥳🎆🍻🥂

      @Wen Rarri - I sometimes wonder if the cold weather is not doing that -> the pure enjoyment to be in such environment!
      I've been in Finland at -30C (--22F), and I did enjoy it, the cold, the weather, the pretty much normal drive/walk to the local shops, and I could also see the Northern Lights!
      Suprisingly at some point in my life I was in Warsaw, more than 15+ years back, and it was -25C (-13F), and was on my way to work, using... a public transport.
      And all was good! In fact it was just another normal day, and everything was working just fine for everybody. And I'm not even talking about Alaska or Canada here.
      So definitely some countries, and people are much more prepared to that kind of weather or environment, even during normal day to day activities.
      Granted, once you go beyond -30-40C (-22-31F and lower) - this kind of cold is escalating very rapidly, and is becoming more and more dangerous.
      I wonder how this tent would do in places such as Oymyakon (I know, this is extreme example).

      @@donblevins1181 - In my view, US is completely lacking any proper local infrastructure for walking to local shops, and any kind of sane public transport (in large cities, and small towns), which is quite good across the Europe, Eastern Europe included (with harsh winters included).
      In Finland even if it was -30C (-22F), I could walk to a local "main road", which took about 10 minutes, and from there another 10 minutes, to local shops, pubs and so on. Everything was functioning without any issues (just using the sidewalk along the main road from that point). And it was a smaller town. Cities, almost no issues in that weather either. If the sidewalk is covered in thin ice, the local councils are usually spreading a layer of sand on it. On the roads it is usually salt, with winter tires and chains in some cases.
      In the forests, outside of town, yeah - you have to use snow shoes, or snowmobile in some cases, as snow can be quite deep (even to your knees or beyond your waist level). And maybe an additional layer of clothes.
      My point being: for a lot of people, -25C or -30C (-13F and -22F) is quite normal during winter time, and of course children are learning how to cope with it since the early age. And they are also used to it. Hence, for a lot of people this is nothing that unusual.

You can get about 5 hours out of it, (using hard wood). Personally I always keep two windows cracked about 8 inches of zipper along with the small vent located near the floor next to the stove. Great tent. Pretty beefy and they really thought of everything. I also purchased a larger welding mat for under the stove.

That thing was drafty. The tow would be a 3 hour wait. Ended up walking onto 7th Street from 35E. The hill had a wind tunnel effect and that felt like -70 (felt like). We got to 7th and ducked into a business to warm up. That was 30 minutes I wont forget. Wouldn't camp in it.

      Considering the tent is 2800.00 (5 person) which is the size you’d need if you moved into one, and another 900.00 for their tent, I’d say it would be about the same for a nice trailer.

    I purchased the UP5 last winter and took it out for a 2 week first time test camp in February in Southwest Washington State. It was a great set up for snow and wind and cold. Held up great but when we had a rainstorm for 3 days the tent did have leaking issues. It leaked at the jack area for the stove and it leaked on the very top into the tent dripping down. I love the tent and will use it for cold and snow but will have to test it again and try to see about fixing the water leakage in heavy rain. Just a heads up for anyone purchasing.

You can put them together with freezing hands and thick gloves. The wingnuts on the stove, big clips and the "umbrella" erector for the tent. In the frozen expanse you don't have time, daylight, or even all of your brain on your side. The work has got to be done quick and correct. Good craftsmanship will help you achieve that. Excellent work here. Thanks for putting yourself through this.

    Not only the temperature is important, but also the air humidity and the strength of the wind. - 12 C with strong wind and very high humidity is more noticeable than -35 C with low humidity and no wind. I live in Poland and Poland sometimes has an inland climate (dry and not very windy, but cold) and sometimes a coastal climate (humid and windy, but warm). Sometimes, however, it happens that a mass of cold and humid air hits the country with great speed, and then it is much colder than the thermometers show. This is why weather forecasts always show not only the physical air temperature, but also how it will feel. I am glad that the climate has changed, because just 50 years ago it could be -40C freezing. It was so cold that the forests crackled with wood. Even at -20C and 60% air humidity, the frost pinches the skin. At -27C after 30 minutes of being outdoors your hair and clothes are covered with rust. Breathing is physically painful.

      @@bangerwiese It looks like I'll be happy for a long time to come, until the water starts flooding my country (And that will only happen if this problem is ignored and no structure is put in place to prevent land flooding). Look, we are living in one of the coldest periods of the Earth. The problem with climate change is that our civilizations are adapted to the current climate. It will be very expensive, or impossible, for many countries to readapt to a different climate. But there will also be countries that will gain from the changes. Equally disastrous in consequences would be the cooling of the climate. There would be countries that would lose a great deal, those that would have to incur huge costs to adapt and those that would gain from the changes.
      The claim that a warming earth will lead the world to extinction is simply a lie. The earth was quite recently much warmer than it is now and flourished with life more than it does now. Another problem is the pace of change and it is too fast for both nature and civilization. Climate change will not be stopped because it is natural. What is unnatural is the bluntness of change. Now we are fighting for extra time for ourselves, but at the same time we are not taking any action to adapt to the changes that are coming anyway. It has even gotten to the point where a huge number of people think that if we stop emitting so many greenhouse gases the problem will go away. it will not disappear or slow down. It will only stop accelerating. However, if we didn't even emit so many gases then climate change would continue, as it has been going on for 15,000 years.

    I enjoyed this. Nice to see a man enjoy his mac 'n' cheese. A tip: after you heat the hot dogs, set the meat aside, add a little of the pasta water to the butter, and add the cheese sauce. Mix until incorporated, and cook it a little on the stove. Makes a nice thick sauce. Then add that to the cooked pasta and hot dogs. Tastes great.

    I'll say this again: yes, it's a great tent with every feature you could want, but the tent, stove, and floor cost $3197 and for that price I can build a year-round off-grid cabin. My hot tent admittedly not half as nice, cost under $200. And my stove cost under $300, not $900 like the Camillus. I guess everything is relative, but very few people can afford this kind of gear unless they are outfitters or similar professionals. Great base camp tent for a month-long hunting trip maybe, but out of the range of the casual winter hiker/ camper.
