Dude ... any advise how to do this without being chased out? Been struggling trying to do the same thing in the same area
You're living the dream. Wish I could get a tent big enough for my whole family. God bless.
You can do it!
Get multiple tents but put them close by
I really enjoyed watching the deck build and tent setup. I have a White Duck Regatta 13 bell tent and will soon be purchasing a lot, so I had already been thinking about the setup. Your video was very instructive, and I love your style (If us boring old guys can be said to have a “style”😂) New subscriber😊
AWESOME SET UP! Another new subscriber here!🙋🏻♀️
Questions...Do you get much wind there and if so how does the yurt hold up to that. Also do you keep your food in the yurt or do you have a food box outside the tent like campgrounds do to deter animals?
Glad it was helpful!
Iv spent a lot of time running a yurt/ tent business and I can give you all a few bits of advice.
Keep your tent tight. There should be no sag on any angle. Sag leads to moisture and moisture leads to mould.
Always dry your tent. If your planning on packing early you will need to erect your tent again in 48 hours or the mould will ruin your canvas.
Other than that they are awesome
Thanks for the tips!
Wasn’t sure how to do my strings thank you for the good idea of using sticks for the sides
Thanks for watching
Well done!
Thanks
Extremely helpful as I'll be doing this by myself. Appreciated and thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video
Nice, crisp clear video ! Great 👍 ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Thank you very much!
These are just so well done. Thank you for creating them.
Thanks. glad you enjoyed it
This is exactly what I needed to see at the moment I needed to see it. I thank you so much for making this video. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Gorgeous, thankyou for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Neat. Just the kind of video I was looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
💜💜💜💜 Loved this
Thanks
This is a beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you liked it
Looks very lovely and believable.
Thanks
Great camp! My wife and I just bought a small piece of land to do just this. Thank you for the great ideas.
Enjoy your time at your new campsite
Nice option for those with lots of money..
Yes, true
Could make the platform out of pallets to save moneys
Excellent setup! Stainless steel really shines in heat retention, ✨️ lol unlike titanium heat loss is its biggest downside!!😁✌️💚
I agree, I’m planning to get a new stove next year
@@OutdoorsMyLife Pomoly is a great lightweight stove as well but my Winnerwell is just the Cadillac of stoves hahaha 😁✊🔥
Hi man,looks a fabulous set up.😍🏕Just one thing missing,man,A dog🐕 🍺🍺 🤠 Keith France.
Love this. It's long been a dream of mine to get a patch of woodland here in Wales and do this. I have a 5m bell tent that I use to camp all year with the family, we have a Swedish cast iron stove, which heats the tent up really well. Liked the tips on the decking area for the guy lines. Did you put that stove jack in yourself? Thanks.
The stove jack came with the stove
Wow..nice setup 👌 It would cost a fortune to build that deck,with the price of lumber these days. Yeah! you need a bigger stove for the size of the tent. I would go with Bereg lrg stove,has glass side with heat protection panels,sides and back( can be removed) but pricey. I have the Bereg UP2 hot tent with med stove and insulated underpad. Also added 6x9 vestibule that zips to the tent...also has a stove jack. You can store your skidoo or ATV or store wood,extra gear,cook...ect. Best hot tent ever owned. Thanks for the share 👊 💥 🇨🇦 💥👊
It did cost a lot but there was no other option for building a camp site there
I was going to purchase a Bereg Up2 hot tent, but wasn't sure how it would be in the summertime if using full time. Decided on a canvas bell tent. But I just loved the insulated floor in the Bereg (and the pop out door!)
Thanks for making this awesome video. Does the bottom of the tent get moldy? Does the wood deck help the tent bottom's condensation evaporate? Because the tent bottom is plastic, right? Wish I could hire you to build my deck!
I built my deck with spacing between the boards to enable water to drain and not to cause moisture build up on the base of the tent, the floor of the tent is plastic and does not get mouldy.
0:42 I saw a mouse~!!
I saw it too when I was editing the video
Awesome job I am planning on setting up a tent site in the Caribbean. Love how detailed your videos. Where can I purchase these tents
Just go online and search for a bell tent, it should show you several options for that style of tent
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you
Excellent video. Did you set your platform to the south so as to catch the sun on your tent entrance?
Yes I did
Incredible set up. What is the size of your platform?
14 feet by 20 feet
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you!
Are there any permitting issues? I would love to put a couple on a property. Good job on the deck.
I don't think there would be any permit issues if it is on your own property, depending on where you live.
@@OutdoorsMyLife I'm in Muskoka . I was thinking of Glamping out two tents on my property. What general area are you in? I see some farmland in your videos.

Wear the bears. Thanks. Grace.
No bears where I live
Are bears a concern in your area? Just wondering if you are keeping food inside the tent, or if it isn't something you need to worry about.
There are no bears in my area
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you for the reply. I would be interested in spending a spring in a similar cabin, but our area has a few black bears around. That is one guest I wouldn't want to have stopping by for breakfast.
How much snow thickness on the top of a canvas tent can they hold before there's risk of them tearing open? Thanks.
I have had more than six inches of snow on my tent before
I'm in the same area and been wanting to do the same thing. Having a tough time figuring where I can do this
It’s a problem unless you own property with a bush on it
@@OutdoorsMyLife really sucks, since ordinances usually say "nothing under 1000 Sq ft allowed". Been looking for years. I might have to go up north and squat
How does one level those deck blocks and keep that way? I know it's just a platform so not the most crucial to worry about settling, but still.
Levelling was quite easy I just cut the posts that sit in the blocks to the correct length, I haven't checked to see if it is still level
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thanks! Looks great and like a ton of fun regardless. :)
What bigger stove would you consider for a tent that size?
Something with a fire box that is about 12 x 12 inches by 18 inches
@@OutdoorsMyLife any stove in particular? Brand / model?
@@Scruffers2011 I haven't decided what stove to get yet
What is the tent size?
13 feet
How easy can mice chew through that? There’s a lot of mice in my woods and I wanted to do this but I’m afraid it will be a waste after chewed on.
I haven't had any problems with mice chewing on my tent, I have had problems with mice getting inside my tent and chewing on things thin side it
Purposely attracting birds into your campsite by feeding them is going to get bird sh#t all over your expensive tent !
Waste seed on the ground will attract rodents.
How ... are mice getting inside a closed tent to chew on things inside IF ... they haven't chewed a hole in the tent ?
You'd better invest in a cat.
@@OutdoorsMyLife You caught a mouse on video at 0.45 into the video.
lol was that a rat or a squirrel at the start?
Mouse
