  • This is the making of Hot Tent 2.0 ! This video took me a long time to make . I struggled with the making of this video . However , many of you have asked about the process, so , here it is ! I hope this helps answer any questions you may have had . I also hope this inspires some of you to build your own tent and find adventures with them ! ! Show me your tents !!
    If you are considering building a similar tent , I encourage you to visit the channel Far North Bushcraft and Survival . There you will find a fine explanation and break down of how Lonnie built his as well . It's another point of view of a very similar process . Very informative and well worth looking into !
    Thank you to all for the support ! The last month has been wild ! Please feel free to ask questions you may have in the comments ! I will try my best to answer as best I can . I'm no pro , I can't tell you how to , but I can tell you how I do ... I'm just sharing my experience with you . It is fun interacting with you all . Thank you for your time !

    If you are curious about the capabilities and durability of these builds, wondering how well the tape holds, or believe the tape won't hold at all, you may find this video interesting..I did an 8 month torture test on this tent. If you are interested here is the link to the torture test. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. ruclips.net/video/PCltLEE5is4/видео.html&t

    Awesome job on the tipi. I sure like that size also. NICE. I like them tie out points also. I think you and I talked about that in the past but it was difficult for me to understand what you were describing on the how-to aspects of the tie out points. The tie out points were visually explained very well here and even I got it this time around. lol Thanks for the shoutout. Much appreciated. May you have many years of great adventures in your tipi.

    • @ItsGoodintheWoods
      @ItsGoodintheWoods  4 года назад +4

      Thank you! The size of this tent is quite nice. My family and I have set it up in the woods out back. We have been camping out in it. It shelters 3 people and 2 dogs with plenty of space to spare! That is with an air mattress and a cot in it . The thing is huge! Thank you for letting me know you could follow along LOL These kind of videos are very hard for me to make.I always wonder if people can make sense of what I am saying.....and that's picking on my ability, not anyone else.
      The Tipi has been standing through a week of pretty hard rain and 30-40 mph wind gusts! Taking it like a champ! The guy out points are holding strong, not the slightest sign of failure. I have also come up with an extremely effective and simple way to keep the door shut. It involves 2 bungee cords! That's it. Amazingly simple, amazingly effective! I'll show my technique in an upcoming video. Thank you so much for watching my video....and taking the time to comment! Vey much appreciated. I hope you and Connie are well. Take care.

      @@ItsGoodintheWoods Yes Connie and I are indeed doing well and we hope the same for you and your loved ones.
      I will be looking forward to seeing a video rendition of your door closing method. I have had my tipi, which is smaller than yours, out in a severe windstorm as well and it survived without any signs of damage. We did end up dropping the center pole and and laying the tipi on top of us as Connie and I huddled in our sleeping bags the rest of the night for fear that the tipi would be shredded and tossed out into the alpine lake we were camped next to. Come morning the wind abated enough that we could break camp and safely head out. Our tipi may have been able to stand throughout the storm had we had side tie outs such as you developed. I have ordered a commercially produced large silnylon ultralite tipi along with a titanium stove which should be here in about 2-3 weeks so I may not be using my homemade tarp tipi/pyramid tents much anymore but I still like your tie out method and may go ahead and use it on my tarp tents.

      Hello! I followed your instructions and made my tipi tent!
      It stood tall for 9 days in the wind and rain.
      I did have a few issues:
      1) I made my stove jack with a silicone baking sheet (seen on other videos) it worked good the first night but the second night the stove was so hot the entire Gorilla tape job and tarp near around the pipe jack started to melt.
      2) I think my guylines are maybe a bit too high.
      3) the last morning the entire tent leaked. I didnt waterproof it. Is that necessary?
      Overall, this was an easy build and I love the tent set up and it is so easy to put up myself.
      Any suggestions on how to deal with my mishaps would be greatly appreciated!
      Thank you for this video.

The center pole I will top with a PVC 1 1/2" cap to lessen the stress on the tarp and tape in the center . there are also now available hi-temp silicone mats that I will use for my stove pipe / tarp exit point . Thanks for the very clear instructions , not every poster does that .

    Your video is just fine. I watched lonnie's video a couple of years ago. I knew I recognized the layout from there. I am going to try something a little different with a square or maybe a rectangular foot print. Basically something from a video by Survival Theory. Permanently tape in some reflective material and include a clear plastic door for a super shelter type of thing. Hoping to hold the clear on with magnets. I will be using all of your techniques with tape and flex seal etc. Good tip to use a heat gun to get the tape to flatten out and adhere. Happy trails.

      The video that I watched cut the side off and welded a flat piece on so that it had a cooking surface.

    • @ItsGoodintheWoods
      @ItsGoodintheWoods  4 года назад +6

      That's awesome man! I haven't quite nailed that part down yet.....but what I have done works pretty well for me so far.....I put a grommet on the bottom corner of the lose edge of the door. I tie some rope to that and work it around the closest outer stake of the tent , and underneath the tent, into the inside of the tent. After you go inside the tent and close the door pull your rope tight and stake it into the ground. This has worked very well for me. I do plan on working something else out eventually,
      When I camped in a snowstorm with this tent , all I did was close the door. I didn't secure it in anyway. It held a snow load and never once opened or let go! I was amazed. I intentionally left quite a bit of overhang on the door, and that helps it stay shut. The real reason for the large overhang is so i can control airflow......If I pull that door tight , but leave a gap between the door and tent to get in and out , the weather is blocked out due to the overlap, but fresh air gets in because of the gap I create. This has proved very useful more than once. You can manipulate that door to create more room as well All depends on the size of the gap you create. If the door is only 6" off the tent , thats good airflow and protection from weather, if you pull the door out 4" from the tent , it literally creates a bunch more room , at the cost of less protection. It's pretty slick! One of the things I really like about this build is the versatility of the door. You can make it as big or small as you like. If it's really nice out and you only want half a tent , no problem, pull up some stakes and open her up ! Super cold and want it buttoned up tight , not a problem! Nice options to have!
      I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand. I have a hard time explaining thigs sometime . Please let me know if you have any more questions. I am happy to help any way I can. Please keep me posted on your tent! I am extremely excited that you are building one! I hope you are doing well through all the madness. All the best - Justin
