Winter Camping In Bubble Wrap Shelter

  • I tried this out to see what would happen in a closed campground if I just wrapped a gazebo tent frame with bubble wrap for a camping shelter. It was an interesting night, with freezing temperatures, and strong winds. Things didn't go quite to plan, as usual... but I adapted and survived the adventure trying to camp in bubble wrap.

      Haha same. I got a space heater going right now. Sorta simulates a camp fire next to bed haha. I think it’s because it’s just simple and not over produced. There’s so much over produced junk out there with flashy edits and loud sounds, effects, and music. This is just raw, essentially nearly unedited for the most part and obviously more realistic. That’s probably why it’s so calming. It’s relatable and sort of calms the nerves at the end of the day at least for me. That’s my theory anyway

    @KingAdrock420 2 года назад +2

    Even if you can't stake down the tent, you need to do SOMETHING to keep it from blowing away! Especially a tent with no floor like that one. A full tent at least has the weight of your equipment (and you, when you're in it) to keep it in place. You could have tied some lines to the campfire grill, and the camp table and benches. Maybe find a nice rock and tie that to a tent leg. But you can't just do nothing. Those popup tents blow away with the lightest breeze.
    Still, great video. Good experiment. I wouldn't think bubble wrap would be a great choice (other than survival situation like you said) but it's great to see confirmation like this. Your channel rocks, keep up the good work!

      @@ozorhaar9575 oh my friend, let me tell ya about camping. I grew up camping with my parents often. We didn't do much cold weather stuff until my sister and I were older. But it was always the BEST time! Always an adventure no matter where we were. Sometimes we'd pack our head in a few miles deep on trails, others we would just hit camp sites. It was always so wholesome. There's always little issues but you end up laughing at the end of the day. Food on a campfire can't be bested. And the quality time with family and friends is better than anything! Camping is 100% worth it. It's therapeutic. I've never done the fancy trailer or RV camping. Always tents, makeshift shelters, things of that nature. I definitely recommend. And now that I have a little boy of my own, I've been taking him out and he has an absolute blast. The dirt, the scrapes, the cuts, the bruises from tearing through the woods, he loves it, so I love it as well! I truly hope you do get out there and experience it. The silence, the animals, the fresh air, the primal nature of the entire situation is the best medicine in this world! Stay safe, and remember the most expensive gear isn't always best. Fleece and wool are great for cold weather. Fleece dries quickly when wet. And wool is the only material on earth that will keep you warm if you somehow manage to get it wet. Plan your trip, and make sure at least someone knows you're going out. Just in case something goes bad.

    From a frozen northern Maine USA to Steve. I was happy to see you try this, 2 suggestions from winter survival training. If you have a pop-up tent, build it as short as possible it reduces the amount of space needed to be heated. also carry 2" or longer lag screws for the feet, easy enough to put into even frozen ground. Lastly, like you did, Hunker down. Good Video anyway!

      You're not the only channel getting these & they've been popping up as far back as 2014 it seems.

    Hey Steve, I can really help you out I think. I am big user of duct and gorilla tape, but as you know it does not always work. Nurses and hospitals use a tape , generally just called silk tape. You can get in in drug stores. comes in, 3/4 up to 3 inch width. Sticks great and has fibers thru it so it's pretty strong. I carry it in tackle box, car, tool box, and usually in a shirt or coat pocket. In the cold it is easy to work with, can tear it with bare hands. When I saw the wind I started shouting at you to go get the silk tape. Love your videos , lets try the bubble wrap again.

    For anyone using those tents in the future, I ran a farmers market stall with one and the wind can be your worst enemy. My go to fix was a few milk jugs filled with water bungie corded on opposite corner legs. In colder temps like this, you could also fashion a weight with pvc pipe and a filler like cement or sand. There are also store bought weights, but making them can be cheap enough if you have the materials arround.
    Also dropping the top a little can also reduce the lift the wind produces.

    Open-air camping without a heater in -4F temps… my hat’s off to ya, Steve. Wonder if not fully extending the legs of that canopy (sleep under a “low-rise” canopy) would’ve been more wind resistant?

    Those pop-ups can be extended part-way. If you'd have a somewhat lower-profile shelter and maybe it would've held up better. You're still the man Steve!

    Kudos to you Steve for posting something that turned into a border line disaster. Not going to lie I enjoyed every failure along the way.

      He has had lots of border line disasters - that's what we love about him. He slogs on through and actually stays with it through the night.
