Lonnie-Always good to hear from you and Connie. You should do the occasional short video just to let your friends know you're okay. Doesn't matter what the topic is. We just love hearing from you. Stay safe!
Yes I Agree 100%
The wisdom of your experiences makes perfect sense. Keep your videos coming.
👍👍. Another tip to keeping it warm is to have Connie cook up some of awesome dinners. Peace
Thank you, Lonnie. I live in northern lower Michigan, surrounded by Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Charlevoix. What we get is 1) lake effect snow, and 2) a lot of wind. For us, I think the second skin is a must as well as a foam floor and larger stove. We cannot escape wind where I live, particularly in winter. I love you and Connie's channel and truly appreciate your time, expertise, and Connie's recipes. God bless you both. Stay safe and warm.
You take care , Lonnie, as well, just take care❤
We absolutely love your videos. Your real people. Common! Every day couple that have been together for a long time.
Your skills of the outdoors is extensive. Many other RUclipsrs look to you as inspiration. Awesome
Sir I could listen to you speak all day and night
thank you for the tips Lonnie, tell Connie hello....good health to you both!
Thanks Lonnie, I love watching your addictive videos after a long day at work, relaxing sipping a beer. You and the good wife are a amazing fun and so interesting.
The quality of your comments speaks volumes, brother. I've never seen so many full complete sentences without shorthand or emojis. I enjoy all your content, while most others I run at 2x speed.
Your knowledge and experience of living this life style really shows Lonnie,a unch of riant tips are always welcome, especially if it makes u more comfortable. U and Connie have a great holidays
Thank you and may you and your loved ones have a blessed Christmas as well.
We live in an totally different environment, but I enjoy all of their videos!
I envy your cold weather. It's great to hear you using used materials like the foam matting to keep costs down. Too many videos encourage you to spend lots of cash. Thanks for your time 👍
I bought that same tent Lonnie except in green. It showed up today so excellent timing on this video. I don't know that I will set mine up till spring but you've given me a lot to think about. I did flesh and stretch / dry my caribou hide this fall and am thinking it will make a nice rug for the floor of my tent. Its amazing how light a caribou skin is when dried. The caribou herders in northern Russia make there tent, floors and bedding out of the reindeer skins and they live in extreme climates as you know. Enjoyed this a lot and learned a lot as well. Good to see you making video again.
I think you are going to really enjoy that tent. I know I sure like mine. I once had a moose hide that I dried and used. That thing was bulky, awkward and heavy. Your caribou hide sounds much better.
I like your caribou hide idea. On one of our future caribou hunts, I too need to save one of my hides for a tent floor rug.
Buffalo hide for a floor where the bedding goies cheyenne and Lakota.
Used. Buffalo .floor rugs .
Wow a caribou hide would be so luxurious!!
Glad to see you brother. It's always a good day when you guys put up a video.
Lota Of Great Times Going To Be Spent There, Lonnie Thanks Hi Connie ! ATB T God Bless
Master Lonnie.. I hope you'll always be fine out there....
Thank you. We are indeed doing well. Hope the same for you and your loved ones as well.
Always appreciate your videos Lonnie (and Connie)... I put some tabs around the inside of my teepee and attach a canvas painters cloth as a second skin on the interior. It's breathable, adds an air gap, and this worked out well... Appropriate spacing from any heat sources of course. Because I'm in a high wind area, the interior liner helps me avoid having to secure it from the exterior winds, and it seems to help with interior condensate.
Hello my friend. I don't do much camping at all, especially in snow, in Louisiana the snow is stretched out about every 10 years. This is a great informative video, not much good for me but I enjoy seeing great people make good videos. Thanks my friend and many prayers for you and your family.
That is one nice stove. Must be mesmerizing in the outdoors just to sit and look at it. I'm from Pennsylvania but negative 5? Whoo no thank you!
Thankyou for making this RUclips Sir, it helps those of us with less experience and I for one appreciate it.
Hope your out enjoying yourself at a camp somewhere. Cheers from Australia. 👍
I use a clip on rechargeable fan from Amazon. Didn’t cost a lot.
Clip it at head height on you pole pointing downward to push the hot air back down. Makes a lot of difference.
🤙
Wonderful tips Lonnie! I’m going to be trying these. Thanks so much!!
Glad I stayed up and got to catch your video. We don’t have your extreme cold but I’ve always hung a tarp over the tent and dropped the edges down at night. Makes an extra wind block and creates a dead air space. I do like those little stoves but the prices make me cringe. Glad you’re doing well. Have a blessed evening
I really appreciate the point about the tree bows. Too many of us out there to be using natural materials these days. I spend my time on public lands around Ontario and Quebec, campsites are getting worse each year
I wish this guy was my dad or grandpa 🍻
You give _the_ most thoughtful, honest, and common sense reviews of anyone on youtube, Lonnie.
Lonnie ... Great to see another video. Tell Connie I said hello and you two have a very Merry Christmas.
I passed on your greetings and season's well wishes to Connie. You and your loved ones have a blessed Christmas as well.
A small battery powered fan mounted on your tent pole blowing air down will help distribute the warmth. Or get one of the wood stove fans and put it on the stove to move the heat around. They are pricey but work very well.
In modest sized pieces one can find Carbon Fiber Soldering Shields & Blankets. These wrapped around the pipe as needed and secured with a bit of soft iron wire (reusable) can essentially eliminate risks of heat sensitive things from incidentally getting too hot.
Missed you both!!
Thank you for another great lesson! I hope you and Connie have an awesome weekend!
A pleasure to see you again with so interesting tips. Greetings from Spain my friends.
Good to see you Lonnie ,always enjoy seeing a video from you,thanks for sharing
Lonnie , great to visit again , thanks for sharing your tips and tricks , God bless !
Lonnie, you are everyones grandad.
Hi !
Well you missed the BIG TIP!!
On my big huge CanvasCamp Sibley ProTech tent, which is 210 sq feet by the way or 16 feet around …..
When I first installed my stove, I installed the stove jack off to one side of the tent like yours is in the video.
Yep, it's nice that its out of the way, but pull out a measuring tape and have a look - you only have about
2 and half feet of stove pipe in the tent before it goes outside. NO !!
Take that same stove you have and run it right up the MIDDLE of that Hex Plus tent and go right beside that centre pole.
Pop the top of the stove pipe out the side of that top cap you closed up with the strap and you’ll NOW have more like 9
or 10 feet of stove pipe in the tent!!
Do you do know how much more heat that will radiate off the stove pipe and in to the tent !? Trust me, the more stove
pipe you have in the tent - the warmer and more efficant the wood stove is! Abandon that side stove jack and close it
up and run it right out the top!
I’ve ran mine ( Camp Chef CS-14 ) at -38 C in my tent and its been great! And yep the vents are a PIA but the stove does
need a lot of combustion air to run properly - make sure it can get it.
Hey Lonnie. I had a 10'x10' custom canvas tent made for a collapsible gazebo frame, so it can be set up and taken down in a few minutes. The ceiling is around 7' high. The whole frame is only 8"x8"x4' when collapsed. I had a weatherproof skirt (heavy duty tarp) sewn on the outside and inside. Then I place a sheet of that on the floor over top of the skirt and a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet on top of that. It not only keeps out the cold/wind, but also keeps out the bugs and mice. I also have HD mesh windows on all sides with a VELCRO boarder and a canvas flap on each sides with ties. That way you can position the flaps where you want to regulate the air flow/intake. I use telescopic curtain rods going both ways to hang my clothes and towels on. There's plenty of room to walk around in and the walls are high enough and at a steep enough angle to allow for maximum room. It's an awesome setup. I think you'd be much happier with a similar tent. There's no frost buildup on the walls no matter how cold it gets. Because it's canvas, I don't have to worry about embers melting/burning holes in it like your synthetic tent. I could send you pics if you want.
I have had my own custom made canvas wall tent made for me by a commercial company in Anchorage Alaska. I have also had many many many other tents and still own most of them. So I am not new to various tents and tent designs. Although your setup does sound pretty awesome for you, I'm happy with what I have. I particularly enjoy the relatively light weight and small transport/storage size of these tipis. I also prefer the synthetic fabrics in a tent overall. I prefer them due to mold/mildew potential for canvas. Canvas is HEAVY, bulky and prone to water damage. It works great for some folks but I personally do not prefer it. My conclusion is based on my experiences of having owned and used it. If it works well for you and you are happy with it, that is all that counts. Stick with what works for you.
Good to see you back we missed you guys! Thanks for the good tips.
Thanks for all the great tips and tricks! God bless you two!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I just bought this tent and plan on taking it out in 2 weeks. Thanks for the tips.
Looks cozy👍
I live in Alabama & I still watch these videos. It hasn't snowed here almost 5 yrs.
Excellent !👍🤠🔥
YAHOO another video thanks your great
Great tips Lonnie! Great to see you again
Thanks Lonnie! Always a treat to see a new video from you guys!
Happy New Year 2022, For the Whole Family. Greetings. Thank you for everything 🙏
GREAT video
Good stuff!
Thank you! 😊
👍🏻 informative
Hey Lonnie! Nice to see you again pal 👍🏻
I like how you explain tbe science behind your modifications. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Lonnie for sharing
Great tips thank you
Excellent video. Thanks.
I lived in a tent my first year in Alaska. I lived in a canvas tent called a pyramid tepee patterned off of the range tent. I made my own wood stove out of a 5 gal kerosene can and that stoved heated that tent really well even at -40 F. I used a tarp on the floor with the heavy packing blankets and that worked out pretty well. You can also use a heat fan on your stove to circulate the hot air more rather than just having the hot air rise. You could also use the packing blankets on the walls rigged up like tepee liners. Love winter camping and did it a lot in Alaska.
I assume you talking about those peltier fans?
I like your packing blankets floor insulation idea. Where does one get packing blankets? I also like pyramid/range/miner tents. I made one out of poly tarps and it is my favorite of all the homemade tents that i have made. It has a lot more interior room than a round tipi with the same foot print size. A 10 X 10 pyramid tent will have a lot more room inside than a 10x10 round tipi.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Harbor Freight has them for cheap , at the time I got mine at U-Haul.
@@kebertxela941 yes the ones that the heat generates the electricity to run the fan.
Thanks. I checked U-Haul online and they are fairly reasonably priced.
Excited for another informative awesome video!
It's now July 2, 2023, at one point not too long ago I ask how you was doing and you said you where laying off of doing videos, I just wanted to check up on you and say "hi" and wish you all well! 😁🤗
(That's what happens when you get OLD! Ask me how I know)
PS: tell your good looking granddaughter I HI!😉
Yes we are still doing great. I hope the same for you and your loved ones.
Lonnie keep the vids coming, they’re GREAT!
Great video
Great video and great info!
Great video!
Hi - always nice to see you, Lonnie 😊
Great take on the Hot Tent. Thank you so much for what you do 👌🤠👍
Thanks Lonnie
Thanks Lonnie. Great video.
Thanks.
Thanx lonnie for your insight!!
FANTASTIC!
Thanks for posting! 👍
I sure do wish that travel trailer manufacturers would have REAL people like Lonnie do reviews like this for trailers they're designing. Your common trailer is fine for trust funders that like to play in their trailers two or three weekends out of the year. But for folks that are utilizing a travel trailer as 24/7 shelter, they're are quite a few improvements needed to keep the darn thing from rotting away underfoot.
This was great information... thank you
Excellent tips 👌
Great tips Lonnie, thanks for sharing! 🤙
always soomething good to learn from you
Good job Lonnie!
thank you Lonnie...love the stove
Always love you videos. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice video
Great info Lonnie 🤠
Great video Lonnie thanks for sharing
You have given a lot if great information to help improve the temperature rating. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips Lonny, I'm really enjoying my hot tent camping and looking forward to more warm camps now Winter is here. Over here in the UK we don't get the low temps that you get in Alaska, generally it hovers around freezing point or just above and the air is very damp which makes it seem colder than it actually is.
The coldest I have ever known it was minus 21C which was a record for the region I believe.
Stay warm
Sandy
Good to see ya my friend
Nice to see you again, give our regards to Miss Connie! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁👵👵👵
Thank you and may you and your loved ones have a blessed Christmas as well.
Great, thanks, and you and yours be safe.
Great tips Lonnie.

Thanx Lonnie, a "cheap ineexpensive way to keep from expriring on a trip or so. You are a Northern Sensi. BTW i still own the same boots LaCrosse Alpha, had em for 16 yrs. now and still going, kinda lost some tread but you know what they say about an old pair of shoes... still completely waterproof and warm.
Man... have i missed you! Very well thought out and informative video. Thank you!
Good to hear from you brother. You do a good job fixing problems that arise that actually work.

Always good to hear from the two of you! Glad all is well and Happy Holidays from my family, to the both of you! Best wishes.
Very nice tent set up Lonnie !!!
Mr. Lonnie and Ms. Connie you have once again saved me a lot of money and time. I was just before buying a plane ticket to Alaska and rounding up a search party to check on you two. Anyway love your videos, lets see some more of Ms. Connie's cooking. It is for some reason satisfying to watch you guys camp and see what Ms. Connie is whipping up for breakfast.
Great video dude. Thanks for the tips. 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
