Thanks for taking us along with you! Fantastic set up!!! That tent has been in my cart for a while - you cannot beat that price for a canvas tent. Any issues with condensation? I'm thinking the stove mitigates the condensation, but I'm not sure. And that axe??? That is a thing of beauty! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Hey thanks for watching! So far so good on the condensation. Sometimes when it's very cold and the stove goes out I'll get some frost on the bottom two feet of the tent. You're quite correct though, zero condensation when the stove is running. The tent is a steal, no two ways about it. You cannot beat the price to quality ratio. It may be a pain in the butt sometimes to pitch in deep snow, but it's worth it. I prefer to dig down to solid ground every time now rather than freezing the pegs in or making snow anchors. It's faster and the overall set up is more solid. Cheers!
@@tentingWT Good to hear! I'm planning on using a propane heater, so I should be able to keep it going all night long. I live in New Jersey (US) and snow can be hit or miss - had one measly dusting last year. One! Scarcely 2 cm. But we do get some brisk temps - coldest temps are usually around-10Cº. I usually hammock, and was eyeing up the a couple of the hammock hot tents, but the canvas gets the nod. Maybe a wood stove for next year... Thanks for the reply!
@sundaymorninghikes6275 -10 is still pretty chilly! I think the coldest I saw last year was -27c overnight. I've owned nylon hot tents as well, but as soon as you get one little ember on it, you've got a hole. Canvas may be way way heavier, but it is solid. So far no holes in two seasons, and it is honestly the most waterproof tent I own. I've been through the worst storm in my life in that tent, with literally 2" of water running under my cot. It didn't leak a drop. I wish I had been doing youtube videos back then because it was awesome! You won't be disappointed with it!
@@tentingWT It seems to me that Winter camping has to be the best because there are no insects and very few people plus you can cool down easily by stepping outside. Hot tents and small lightweight wood stoves make all the difference in comfort. In the Summer you can't hardly cool off. It may be very hot in the tent but stepping outside fixes that quickly in the Winter like I already mentioned.
@@donolinger6904 I completely agree. Food storage is also pretty relaxed compared to the other seasons as well. Like you say, with the correct gear you can be way more comfortable than any other season!
was looking for a canvas tent on the jungle site, aside from lack of floor, it's a great looking tent, i have a nylon tent for summer. i'm planning a bike trip to start in a few months, i wanna get out fast as a last hurrah. ebike, even when i was in perfect shape i'd have needed a motor for the crap i wanna cart, single wheel trailer and a solar panel kit, if i stay for two days i can even run a pi and portable monitor while charging. i would NEVER trust a modern nylon tent to keep warm and not burn down with a campstove fire. even if it wasn't a decent tent, this is only new scotland, pretty warm. your note about bears makes me think that a portable stereo with black metal is a good idea.
Thanks so much for watching! It is a fantastic tent. Still my favorite by far. I have a few nylon hot tents and though I have never had an issue with them, they still make me feel uneasy at times with a stove in them. I think OneTigris has come out with a few smaller canvas tents since this video that would be more travel friendly, but much smaller. I hope you get out on your trip!
@@tentingWT landlord's got all the paperwork to get these 4 units emptied for complete reno... throwing 2thou and 3 months rent at us... compared to hitchhiking across canada in the late 80's with 400 bucks, this'll be a breeze. it does mean i do it now or never.
My wife is thinking of getting this tent, you mentioned that you were going to list the cons of the tent, but maybe i missed them but can not seem to find the cons. What cons do you find with this tent? Overall very good video of your gear and tent. Thanks.
You are one hundred percent right, in editing I somehow deleted that section of video. The biggest cons in my opinion is the weight and location of the stove and doors. The weight isn't that big of a deal considering it's canvas. Still, 25lbs is a lot of weight to be dragging around if you are going long distance. The layout of the doors and stove can make entering and exiting the tent a big problem with two cots. You are crawling over one cot if you use the back door. Using the door on the stove side causes you to do a very awkward shuffle past the dangerously hot stove pipe. Myself and my father have both burned ourselves (upper arm) from entering this way. If the stove was just another foot over, it would eliminate this problem. Other than that, it is an amazingly well built and snug tent. Still my favorite! The price has even came down quite a bit since I made this video.
Thanks for demoing this gear, very interested in this tent after watching your video. There really are very few good canvas hot tent options in Canada unless you want to drop $2-3K. GF and I use a double pad (193cm x 132cm), do you think it would fit?
Not sure about Canadian practices but in the NW US problem Bears/Animals are for the most part trapped and relocated to remote areas. The only time I’ve seen them killed is when there is media pressure. I suppose if I was raised In Canada my mindset might be different. With the many encounters with Strange People, Bears, Moose, Mountain Lions and a few Wolf packs over 50 years. Granted I hunt but even just fishing or exploring you will not catch me without at least a side arm. I’ve often wondered how many of my Northern Neighbours become Griz Bait needlessly.
My biggest problem over the years has been Moose and occasional bear. The last 20 years it’s ramped up to be People I’ve has the biggest problems with...
Yea, people scare the crap outta me more than animals do. Regardless of what it is, be it bear or wolf. Cougars are so so rare here, I've never seen one out in the wild but they are around. No grizz though thankfully. Black bears I encounter are absolute cowards. I rarely camp in heavy traffic areas, so when I do encounter them, they bolt. Probably never seen a human before. Of all my encounters, only one has been dangerous. Although, life is a gamble when you camp during moose rutting season lol.
It probably is! Although I don't think I could bring myself to spend $600.00 on a cot. Especially when the OneTigris is only 1kg heavier or so then the Helinox.
Good Stuff!
I bought the coyote brown version of this tent along with the inner mesh.
I absolutely love it!
It is a fantastic tent. I can't recommend it enough!
Thanks man, this was really helpful !
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Awesome! I have same stove. Now ordering this tent!
Sweet! You won't be disappointed! Even though I will be testing out other hot tents this season, the Onetigris will always be my favorite.

I see you like to work at my pace. Cool.
Gotta love winter camping. I'm excited about this upcoming season!

Great video of the tent and setup. Thank you. What's the fan on the stove?
Hey thanks for watching!
It's actually an Omanshy from Amazon. Inexpensive but very effective.
@@tentingWT thanks! Is it a 3 or 4 blade fan?
No problems!
That is the three blade version.

Good gear and video
.new sub.
Thank you!
Could 2 beds with the fire fit?
Absolutely. I have had two cots set up with the stove many times! It's a little tight but very doable.

Yes, I think you wouldn't have a problem fitting the mat. My cot is 190cm long.

I use an electric fence!
I see many people do that now. How heavy is it?
The cot looks like a copie of the helonix cot
It probably is! Although I don't think I could bring myself to spend $600.00 on a cot.
Especially when the OneTigris is only 1kg heavier or so then the Helinox.
