For more useful hot tent tips here is part 1 of 3 to my hot tent series. ruclips.net/video/uYlL5NYtzKM/видео.html All about getting started from tents to stoves and even safety tips. Enjoy
Last weekend, I went to my first time hot tent wood stove camping. It was lots of work cutting hard wood and chopping it, but once the wood stove was lit and emanating the heat..aaahh.. it was much much better than any camping setup I've been into. You guys will love it too !
The two times I managed it, it was amazing to be able to close down the shelter and warm up next to the stove. And being able to wake up, reach over to relight the stove and nap a bit till the shelter warmed up is also amazing. Warm, dry, boots when it’s freezing out is worth the fuss alone.
Youre videos have been so helpful to me in knowing the tent and stove that i want. Ive watched most of your videos. I love camping but hot camping is super apealing to me. Most people dont camp in winter so thats my favorite time to camp im so excited!!!! Thank you
Thank you for the sheer honesty in this video. I follow many bushcrafters on youtube and I see how amazing all of you are at this. I also do think about how many times you have to stop, move the camera for a close up, stop, reset camera for the next walk-by, stop, reset again for the next view, on and on. This all along with the work that you just described would be exhausting for me. But, I am not a YT content provider. I would do this for my own get away/mental break. For sharing the reality of exactly how much work and effort that one will go through is very helpful. A gear breakdown list that you provide is extremely helpful. We casual weekenders can learn so much through your hard work and for that, I thank you. And finally, if a weekend in the woods is not reachable for me, I can always live vicariously through another Lonewolf video. Lifelong subscriber here. Keep up the great work and awesome video adventures! Thank you!...PS. I'm still waiting for that night sky of the stars shot when you get a chance.
I just got the Pomoly Hot shelter! I'm going to try to take it out as much as I can this Spring/Summer and work my skills up and give hot tenting a try this next winter!
I live in Colorado and camping in the summer is becoming increasingly crowded. Hot tenting allows me to enjoy camping without the crowds. Yes it is a lot of work but winter camping without a hot tent can be a real struggle in terms of keeping gas canisters warm and water from freezing and no one enjoys putting on frozen boots in the morning. Just my opinion. Great content as always Jeremy keep it up!
I built myself a coal stove for winter camping. The idea was that I wanted long lasting heat throughout the night, in a very small stove. And coal was the best and simplest choice. The stove took the better part of a year to make, but dang does it work!
Same as any other tent or tarp. Takes about 8 hrs to dry out this particular tent and the stove can be packed away wet as it is totally made from titanium so it doesn't rust
Went out into interior of BC with my dog last Feb, and spent two nights getting down to -18C. Due to delays I couldn’t start setting up until around 5pm. Had to haul my gear up a 200meter hill with my snowshoes on and a ski pulk. After keeping a fire going outside to keep my dog warm, tamping down enough snow area to get my tent setup, collecting lots of firewood, I finally made it to bed at 1 am. I’ve never been more exhausted in my life. Next day wasn’t too bad but, you’re right, LOTS of firewood collecting. Having a pulk is great for hauling wood across the snow. Once you get set up, it’s not too bad but yep, lots of work. Going to do it again but maybe closer to my vehicle or with a snowmobile this time. 😆
Another great video Lonewolf! A lot of people don't realize the effort a good hot tent site takes to set up, let alone the costs involved. But it's worth every minute and penny!!
A great, honest review. Here in Scotland it doesn't get particularly cold,around -5c/-10c but it's pitch black by 4pm so a hot tent for me is more about just zipping up and sitting and relaxing in front of a fire after I've done all the prep in the early afternoon.
I haven't had mine long but I bought it for camping on my deer lease. We dont have a camp house because it cost more for dues. But for cold or inclement weather being able to cook inside if necessary and dry any clothing that I need to when hunting is priceless af. My pomoly mini should be hear in a couple of weeks really dont need it now but soon enough I will.
Ordered the FireHiking Hot Tent package on March 22nd on Amazon. Received it today. Amazed at how fast the delivery was. Know if it can stop pouring outside, I’ll be able to set it up in the backyard, prior to a planned Spring outing.
Just a video we all needed. There are lots of videos about hot tenting, but i haven't seen one that explains what it takes. Thank you again for a great instructional video!
Thank you for this, Jeremy. I've had some experience with camping but never done a hot tent before. To be honest, something about it intimidates me. I find you and your videos very informative, detailed and honest. I'm going to try and practice on my backyard. 😅😂
Great video subject! All true! Time eaters, firewood and water if your melting snow. Personally, when hot tenting, I use anchor stakes. 12" on four corners minimum. Ridgeline suspended tent for me. Also, I do not cook in my tent. Boil water for a coffee, oatmeal, or a freeze dried meal only, and hang the food bag in a tree at night. Dont want rodents in my setup. Winter camping is the best, no bugs. Other than the few that thaw out under the leaves in the tent. And yes, prep feather sticks and tender in case you need to start a fire in the middle of the night. I run the Smokehouse mini, Seek outdoors mini Ti, and a blackbird XLC. 72 degrees in the tent and a four hour runtime on the stove with hardwood. Glorious camping!
In my experience hot tenting is barely viable for soloists who want to travel every day. I have done a lot of it and the amount of effort required to set up and take down camp is just more than I want to do every day. Also the extra weight of most hot tents and stoves is prohibitive for backpacking and difficult for sledding. All this changes if the chores and weight are shared between a party of 3 or 4, or even more. Then it becomes much easier.
My experience too. The stove and wood cutting tools put your already-heavy winter pack over the top. Plus it's so much work setting up (and especially taking down) the stove and finding and processing wood in the cold and trying to do so before dark. Easier to just bring warm clothes and a small twig or fuel stove.
What I've found with my hot tent, if the temp is over zero degrees Celsius basically I'm too hot in my hot tent, even at -2 or -3 Celsius I was sleeping with my bag unzipped and kind of rolled down to my waist. Getting on towards -10 the hot tent is bliss and all of a sudden all makes sense...
@@Lonewolfwildcamping Hell yeah, first couple of nights I didn't know what I was doing, think I had the inside of the tent at 30+ . I sleep hot so I found it actually took me a lot of practice to get my tent to a comfortable temp of around 12-18c. And then just when you think you've got the hang of it , you change the type of wood your burning and the learning process starts all over again. 😂 It's a great learning experience.
Absolutely, there are lots of variables that play a part in how hot the tent gets. Its fun learning all the tricks and takes many years to finally get a really good grasp on it.
Once again, you do not fail to impress. I just finished a hot tent camp (granted, in my back yard) and am working on editing the video, and I have to thank you for letting people know about the work involved (that no one sees!) You are one of my biggest inspirations, and I just want to say thanks, and thanks for posting this, it's something everyone needs to see before, during, and after trying hot tent camping.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping me too. I'm going to put a link to this video in my description, I hope it's all right- I know it will help my viewers, at least. I just feel like everyone needs to be aware of the knowledge & experience you share with us, the unwashed masses.
Great video but all camping is hard work it’s just as hard going in a camper setting up a couple awnings outside grills etc to me as tent camping but hot tenting how so many more perks cracking off the wood stove rain hitting the tent awesome love it
As someone who live fulltime in a lavvo i can fully say your video here describe how life in a lavvo really are. I love living alone in the lavvo, but it i not much downtime except after dark. (living in Norway)
Interesting talk on the subject of hot camping. In my country Norway hot camping is not very common among trekkers and mostly we sleep in our tents without any heating, so it is interesting to see your reflections about the topic. It is for sure a lot of work, but you do end up with a nice snug tent if everything is done correctly. I can see the value of that on a cold dark autumn day. Just for fun I checked what one of the biggest online shop for hikers in Norway is selling. They only sell ovens for the lavvo style tents for 6 to 12 people and the cheapest oven is 350 dollars, so for a smaller tent I would have to order an oven from abroad.
Thanks for sharing great information buddy most people don't realise the work needed going into hot tenting . Keep up the great videos stay safe ...colin 🏴🍂🍁🏕🔥
Thank you man. Your vids are really helpful. Ordered the cheapest tent on aliexpress for testing and am waiting for the new iteration of the pomoly mini stove you worked on as well es the tarp with stove jack.
Awesome contact! I love the transparency and getting real with hot tenting! I was finally able to go this winter and totally agree with you! However I am totally addicted!!❤️🥰🥳
People want happiness without effort. True hobbies and fun take work. The ultimate ratio of low effort and maximum fun isn’t always easy. When it’s real cold and your gear is wet, a hot tent really is something to be in, compared to cold camping. What tent is that? Great video and information as usual.
Thanks for the video Jeremy, great information. I figured the gathering of wood and the chopping and splitting will be a major part of the work. I hate cooking in the dark too! since winter was a bust for me going hot tenting, I was hoping maybe early spring, but today was 72 degrees F. Weird weather for Michigan. Might have to wait until Fall now. 👍🏕
Certainly it is a lot of work, but I think that is part of the game. The whole work in the stunning nature makes it unique. It is awesome! Kind regards from 🇦🇹🤠👍
Hey great video, yup people forget or overlook what hot tenting is. Here in Northwestern Ontario when its -30 to -40 the dynamics change again. People think that you load the stove before sleep and good for the night, they cant be more wrong, unless you have a top of the line sleep system and proper clothing for bed, ideally one will be stoking the stove every 30-45 minutes, depending on the type of wood as well. Our scout group during our Novemburr hike , they were in a prospector tent and actually took shifts loading it. As you get older the stove is nice for warmth and drying gear and cooking of course. Setup is critical as you say and gathering wood is the big chore and processing it. Here in Northwestern Ontario all the standing dead is by far the best vs anything laying on or near the ground. Your supply of nice hardwood should be plentiful as well out East. Yes it is a different type of camping, and not as easy as people anticipate.....Cheers Fred
Still believe if it was me I would pull a sled and put a chain saw, save a little work . Reckon it wouldn't be called bushcrafting then but that's my thoughts. Enjoyed the facts thanks for the insight. I have yet to do any of it yet but really injoy watching you and many others on RUclips doing it thanks again ..
Good video on prep for hot tenting.i live in texas we don't see as many others do the kind of wood u process when i go up north.could u demo a teach film on the different kinds of hard wood and soft wood u use and show how to identify each one? Like ash elm.birch cherry chestnut pine cedar different conifers? Etc we in texas a few pine and post oak live oak and mesquite pecan thats it.pictures live lot better than books and can show u rhe dried side of wood which looks more real than boiks.thick sometime u can do this on video?
You're right in that your average RUclipsr doesn't see the tremendous amount of work that goes into setting up the tent, setting up the wood-burning stove, chopping wood, prepping meals, etc. You have to really love what you're doing, otherwise it's not worth the effort.
I've always viewed hot tents as more of a base camp for extended trips than something to do only for one or two nights. Juice isn't worth the squeeze to me. Thanks for keeping it real.
informative.. but I am still on the fence of getting into hot tenting... I keep looking at stove/tent/cot.. but then think about how often I would really use it .. I camp alot in the summer off me motorcycle in the bush north of me on crown land... in the winter my lil car wouldn't make it in there... so it would either be a friends property, or stealth it on the edge of town...
@@Lonewolfwildcamping what's your opinion on stainless stove.. saw one that the pipe comes apart and fits inside it... 5x7x12.. figure I could use it in ice shack as well as tent.. I don't need that crazy packable one you have there with the rolled up chimney...
Great review. I'm currently looking at the One Tigris Rock Fortress. Good that you emphasise the 'image' vs reality. Defo situation dependent. This sort of camping seems to lend itself more to non hiking, such as canoe or car.
..as always..your vlog/vids very imformative...from day 1 with your vlog with Desmond me and my son learned a lot from you..lots of work editing and so forth but then again its WORTH IT..thank you very much #Teamlonewolf902
I say it’s not work not at all.. if you enjoy the process..Putting the tent up setting up the sleep system, setting up the stove, cutting b the wood, cooking the meal., etc it’s all part of the process and should be enjoyed as much as the relaxing part. It’s not work if you can enjoy the camp from top to bottom!! My son and I hot tent, regular camp and stealth we love it all. 😅
I would love to do some hot tent camping but unless I travel to colder areas, it just doesn't get cold enough in my area to make it worth the purchase of the tent and stove. I'm jealous of those that can, though. I love the snow and cold!
I've done hot tent camping for over twenty years and its fine if there are two or more of you to split the load and the work but for one or two people its not a lot of fun. Good tent, high quality clothing system and sleep system combined with hot food and drinks and you'll sleep toastie warm without the woodburner.
I’m none hot tent camping,I need fire so I’m processing wood anyway.I need a shelter so I’m pitching a tent anyway.I need food so I’m going to be cooking all the same,wether I’m doing it before dark or not.I am not seeing how hot tenting creates any extra difficulties,you need to be organised in any type of camping and the elements are always going to be there..........you can believe that hot tenting is worth the ‘extra’ work.
I haven't had the pleasure of hot tenting, but to me, first of all, I would never really consider the added weight unless I could sled it in on snow. I would also find it troubling that I would have to keep waking up in the cold to start the fire every few hours. I'd rather just deal with the cold. Unless I was with other people to share the load. I'm sure it is pretty sweet to have the ability to get warmed up though. Especially if it's going to be a few nights. So I guess more than one night, and with at least one other person, it's an easy choice. Otherwise? Dunno.
Lonewolf 902 Lol, there is that 😃. Hey, like I said, it sure is nice to be able to get warm. I think essential if you're going to spend more than 1 night, but even for one night, or even a day, it's nice to get warm when you're chilled. But a stove and a tent that can handle a stove, and all the added work, just so you can wake up, freezing in the middle of the night, because the fire went out? Of course "how cold" is a big question too. Like where and when you did the video, it looks like it's near zero. It's not that tough to camp in that temp, but way below zero?
Lonewolf 902 So Ive camped in the winter, but never with a stove, but I would imagine a big warm winter bag would be way too warm when the stove is running, so don't you find it's too hot, then wake up cold, or worse, sweaty and cold, and then either need to bundle up, or get the fire going?
Awesome video again.. it look so much comfy ! I really wanna experience camping in woods.. Inspired by you.. after lockdown in 2020 i came through first camping video ever on youtube and that was your video.. 😊
I watch this channel ALOT.. I really want to do this, but you hit the head of the questions I have had 1.) How much wood do you need per hour of of stove, creating a comfortable temp(60 degrees ++) 2.) So almost all these hot tents do not have a floor(sleeping on ground), how do you deal with water run off in the tent 3.) 10* 10 seems larger until you have your pack, sleeping set up, oven, and wood in that space 4.) How do you know where you can go. YOu cant just hike into any woods start a fire without the white smoke causing alarm 5.) I did not even think of hte sparks coming down on tent an burning. So you should only burn hard wood in stove 6.) While I have seen your chipmunk friend, Are you prepared if something larger, more preditory coming into camp. I live in PNW( that can include Bear (They are coming out of Hbernation earlier now, and they will diffenttly smell your steak from over a mile off and will follow their nose) Mountain Lion( pretty skittish unless hungry, then human might go on menu, if this rare event happens you are in BIG TROUBLE!!) Wolfs(Never seen in wild but I have heard them ) Snakes( Summer months, can definitely happen, Eastern Wash has rattle snakes) all the other creatures that might want a warm environment during a cold night, while I am sleeping on ground)
I see from another video it appears to block of access to the chimney? seems like that'd blow smoke back in so best to use it when coals are glowing right?
Another GREAT video! what's your suggestion for 2 people and maybe a dog hot tent camping, winter, canoe camping so weight not as much as an issue, but not a 40-50 pounder 20-25lbmax
I have seen a number your videos for a while now. I realize you have multiple stoves, and they all burn differently, so my question is not going to have a cookie cutter answer, BUT.. how much firewood do you process on average for say one night/morning? And how much burn time average per fill? (It was one of your videos I stumbled on last winter which inspired me to camp out.. been practicing in my back yard under tarp shelters ever since (Feb 22). EVERY WEEKEND nearly without miss.. and then some. So, thank you 😎. It’s been a blast. Have my sleep system dialed in, Tarp configurations, etc. Gear is almost complete, still working on it. But I really want to give the stove concept a whirl 😁)
I appreciate the support. To be honest the stoves are nice, and are a luxury but it's best to rely on having an excellent sleep system bag to stay warm. All stoves burn different rates depending on type of wood, different Temps, etc. It depends on your comfort level and how warm you want it to be.

putting all this stuff up when you get home is never talked about.

That’s a hugely overlooked thing. When you come home knackered and you’ve got all that wet messy crap to clean dry and put away
LOL... no doubt, recovery is a PITA.
Getting the fire smell out of your clothes (i.e. laundry). Not that I mind it.
I hang mine in the shower for 2 hrs then in my living room for 6 hrs in wet days. Sunny days outside on a Ridgeline for an hour
You are so right! Just started hot tent in October and it is a lot of work but for me it is very rewarding. Cheers
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy hot tenting

Thanks, there's much more behind the glamor indeed
I ended up buying a NatureHike Hiby 3 with the intention of modifying it like you did yours. Thanks again for the idea!
Its a great conversion tent 🤙😁
What I've found with my hot tent, if the temp is over zero degrees Celsius basically I'm too hot in my hot tent, even at -2 or -3 Celsius I was sleeping with my bag unzipped and kind of rolled down to my waist. Getting on towards -10 the hot tent is bliss and all of a sudden all makes sense...
Thats usually the case, above 0⁰c it can get really hot really quickly

Thanks for sharing great information buddy most people don't realise the work needed going into hot tenting . Keep up the great videos stay safe ...colin 🏴🍂🍁🏕🔥
Another Great video. Thank you for the behind the scene.
Thanks
I know now that i can't afford the hot tent setup. So i just have to look at youre good videos.
Always great information.
Thank you
Thank you man. Your vids are really helpful.
Ordered the cheapest tent on aliexpress for testing and am waiting for the new iteration of the pomoly mini stove you worked on as well es the tarp with stove jack.
Thanks for enjoying, hope you have great trips ahead
You are truly amazing person, thank you very much for all the advice you give us God bless you always
Much appreciated , thank you
Great overview of hot tent camping
Thanks 😁
Awesome contact! I love the transparency and getting real with hot tenting! I was finally able to go this winter and totally agree with you! However I am totally addicted!!❤️🥰🥳
Thanks alot, hope it is helpful
i have a Onetigris Smokey hot Tent paired with a Winnerwell stove. Good times. Also Truck camping/Overlanding is something really awesome to get into
Its all about having fun 🔥
People want happiness without effort. True hobbies and fun take work. The ultimate ratio of low effort and maximum fun isn’t always easy. When it’s real cold and your gear is wet, a hot tent really is something to be in, compared to cold camping. What tent is that? Great video and information as usual.
I agree with you, the effort is worth it.
Thanks for the video Jeremy, great information. I figured the gathering of wood and the chopping and splitting will be a major part of the work. I hate cooking in the dark too! since winter was a bust for me going hot tenting, I was hoping maybe early spring, but today was 72 degrees F. Weird weather for Michigan. Might have to wait until Fall now. 👍🏕
Thanks alot, I find the work is all part of the fun, hopefully you get an opportunity soon to enjoy
Certainly it is a lot of work, but I think that is part of the game. The whole work in the stunning nature makes it unique. It is awesome! Kind regards from 🇦🇹🤠👍
I agree, thank you
Hey great video, yup people forget or overlook what hot tenting is. Here in Northwestern Ontario when its -30 to -40 the dynamics change again. People think that you load the stove before sleep and good for the night, they cant be more wrong, unless you have a top of the line sleep system and proper clothing for bed, ideally one will be stoking the stove every 30-45 minutes, depending on the type of wood as well. Our scout group during our Novemburr hike , they were in a prospector tent and actually took shifts loading it. As you get older the stove is nice for warmth and drying gear and cooking of course. Setup is critical as you say and gathering wood is the big chore and processing it. Here in Northwestern Ontario all the standing dead is by far the best vs anything laying on or near the ground. Your supply of nice hardwood should be plentiful as well out East. Yes it is a different type of camping, and not as easy as people anticipate.....Cheers Fred
Very true, I really enjoy a good quality sleep system with or without a hot tent 🤟🇨🇦
Great information..love that your so grounded.. transparent...telling all the whole story. ⛺
Thank you very much. Its really important to share this information
Funny how that works...camping is an immense amount of work but I can never wait to go back!!! Ha! Great vid, tks! 👍😉🇨🇦🌲🔥🏕🌘
🤙😊
Still believe if it was me I would pull a sled and put a chain saw, save a little work . Reckon it wouldn't be called bushcrafting then but that's my thoughts. Enjoyed the facts thanks for the insight. I have yet to do any of it yet but really injoy watching you and many others on RUclips doing it thanks again ..
Thanks for enjoying 😁
Good video on prep for hot tenting.i live in texas we don't see as many others do the kind of wood u process when i go up north.could u demo a teach film on the different kinds of hard wood and soft wood u use and show how to identify each one? Like ash elm.birch cherry chestnut pine cedar different conifers? Etc we in texas a few pine and post oak live oak and mesquite pecan thats it.pictures live lot better than books and can show u rhe dried side of wood which looks more real than boiks.thick sometime u can do this on video?
Thanks alot, I may do a wood type and burn test video soon
Went hot tenting last Saturday. Spiders were out in full force, gonna need a hot tent with the mesh for spring and fall
Mesh inners are defined useful this time of year for bug protection
You're right in that your average RUclipsr doesn't see the tremendous amount of work that goes into setting up the tent, setting up the wood-burning stove, chopping wood, prepping meals, etc. You have to really love what you're doing, otherwise it's not worth the effort.
I've always viewed hot tents as more of a base camp for extended trips than something to do only for one or two nights. Juice isn't worth the squeeze to me. Thanks for keeping it real.
It can be alot of work for sure
informative.. but I am still on the fence of getting into hot tenting... I keep looking at stove/tent/cot.. but then think about how often I would really use it .. I camp alot in the summer off me motorcycle in the bush north of me on crown land... in the winter my lil car wouldn't make it in there... so it would either be a friends property, or stealth it on the edge of town...
I recommend starting with a small cheap tent. Get a small titanium stove and the stove will always be useful with or without the tent
@@Lonewolfwildcamping what's your opinion on stainless stove.. saw one that the pipe comes apart and fits inside it... 5x7x12.. figure I could use it in ice shack as well as tent.. I don't need that crazy packable one you have there with the rolled up chimney...
It really depends in your personal needs. I choose titanium due to zero rusting and lightweight
Great review. I'm currently looking at the One Tigris Rock Fortress. Good that you emphasise the 'image' vs reality. Defo situation dependent. This sort of camping seems to lend itself more to non hiking, such as canoe or car.
..as always..your vlog/vids very imformative...from day 1 with your vlog with Desmond me and my son learned a lot from you..lots of work editing and so forth but then again its WORTH IT..thank you very much
#Teamlonewolf902
Thank you so much
I say it’s not work not at all.. if you enjoy the process..Putting the tent up setting up the sleep system, setting up the stove, cutting b
the wood, cooking the meal., etc it’s all part of the process and should be enjoyed as much as the relaxing part. It’s not work if you can enjoy the camp from top to bottom!! My son and I hot tent, regular camp and stealth we love it all. 😅
Very informative Wolf man, something I’m going to get into next winter 🥶
Thanks, hope you get to enjoy it next winter
@@Lonewolfwildcamping appreciate your honesty in your videos! Thanks 🇬🇧
Thank you
Very informative. Thank you.
No pain no gain 👍🏴
😁🤟
Thank you for the info, very informative. Thank you for telling us this 🙏🙏
Thanks alot for enjoying, glad I could share it
Very informative video my friend.
Thank you
Well, gotta share this video link with my group...thank you dude for sharing this information..
Greetings from Malaysia
Thanks, hope they like it
Thanks for the information im sure it will help everyone.👌
Thank you
I would love to do some hot tent camping but unless I travel to colder areas, it just doesn't get cold enough in my area to make it worth the purchase of the tent and stove. I'm jealous of those that can, though. I love the snow and cold!
Excellent information, thank you
Great information
Thanks alot
very very informative. Thanks.
I rock my buddy heater and stay nice and toasty!
Awsome
Curious what pants are those? dig the tiger stripe camo!
Was interested in hot tents for a grid down situation
Have you ever thought of putting a fan at the peak to push the hot air back down???
No, it gets way too hot sometimes without a fan
I used a fan when it’s really cold and the heat is settling 1’ off the ground, just to move the air closer to the floor. It really works great.
Works for very large and tall tents
Keepin' it real Jeremy
Thanks 🤙
you should look at Russain bear tent
They should look into Lonewolf902
I've done hot tent camping for over twenty years and its fine if there are two or more of you to split the load and the work but for one or two people its not a lot of fun. Good tent, high quality clothing system and sleep system combined with hot food and drinks and you'll sleep toastie warm without the woodburner.
Thanks for these valid realities you presented. I was wondering how realistic it is for long distance hiking. Not ultra light, but long distance?
I’m none hot tent camping,I need fire so I’m processing wood anyway.I need a shelter so I’m pitching a tent anyway.I need food so I’m going to be cooking all the same,wether I’m doing it before dark or not.I am not seeing how hot tenting creates any extra difficulties,you need to be organised in any type of camping and the elements are always going to be there..........you can believe that hot tenting is worth the ‘extra’ work.
Well said, camping in general is work but hot tenting is also work
I haven't had the pleasure of hot tenting, but to me, first of all, I would never really consider the added weight unless I could sled it in on snow. I would also find it troubling that I would have to keep waking up in the cold to start the fire every few hours. I'd rather just deal with the cold. Unless I was with other people to share the load.
I'm sure it is pretty sweet to have the ability to get warmed up though. Especially if it's going to be a few nights. So I guess more than one night, and with at least one other person, it's an easy choice. Otherwise? Dunno.
I love warm boots in the morning 👍😊🔥
Lonewolf 902 Lol, there is that 😃. Hey, like I said, it sure is nice to be able to get warm. I think essential if you're going to spend more than 1 night, but even for one night, or even a day, it's nice to get warm when you're chilled. But a stove and a tent that can handle a stove, and all the added work, just so you can wake up, freezing in the middle of the night, because the fire went out?
Of course "how cold" is a big question too. Like where and when you did the video, it looks like it's near zero. It's not that tough to camp in that temp, but way below zero?
I always bring a winter bag and pad so I never wake up cold, this way I can let the stove burn out and get some sleep
Lonewolf 902 So Ive camped in the winter, but never with a stove, but I would imagine a big warm winter bag would be way too warm when the stove is running, so don't you find it's too hot, then wake up cold, or worse, sweaty and cold, and then either need to bundle up, or get the fire going?
Awesam video brother 🥰🥰🥰💕💕i watch ur all videos nycc n helpful 👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks so much
Amazing video sir!!
Thanks alot
Good job once again on the informative video 👏. Is that a new iteration of the syl-nylon tent version from Pomoly?
Thanks alot, its a new tent 😉
Awesome video again.. it look so much comfy ! I really wanna experience camping in woods.. Inspired by you.. after lockdown in 2020 i came through first camping video ever on youtube and that was your video.. 😊
Thank you, im glad I could help
work hard and enjoy the fruits of your labors...
Good info! Thanks 🤠
Thank you
I watch this channel ALOT.. I really want to do this, but you hit the head of the questions I have had
1.) How much wood do you need per hour of of stove, creating a comfortable temp(60 degrees ++)
2.) So almost all these hot tents do not have a floor(sleeping on ground), how do you deal with water run off in the tent
3.) 10* 10 seems larger until you have your pack, sleeping set up, oven, and wood in that space
4.) How do you know where you can go. YOu cant just hike into any woods start a fire without the white smoke causing alarm
5.) I did not even think of hte sparks coming down on tent an burning. So you should only burn hard wood in stove
6.) While I have seen your chipmunk friend, Are you prepared if something larger, more preditory coming into camp.
I live in PNW( that can include Bear (They are coming out of Hbernation earlier now, and they will diffenttly smell your steak from over a mile off and will follow their nose)
Mountain Lion( pretty skittish unless hungry, then human might go on menu, if this rare event happens you are in BIG TROUBLE!!)
Wolfs(Never seen in wild but I have heard them )
Snakes( Summer months, can definitely happen, Eastern Wash has rattle snakes)
all the other creatures that might want a warm environment during a cold night, while I am sleeping on ground)
Thanks, I have zero issues finding locations here in novascotia, hot tenting takes alot if thought process and experience, but its awsome 😁🤟🔥
@@Lonewolfwildcamping Do u carry any protection from Preditory wild life and what about ground water in the tent?
Only my knife, and I use a ground sheet or mesh inner
@@Lonewolfwildcamping Does the ground sheet cover the full 10 * 10, or just your bed, stepping out of bed into mud when stocking a fire would suck
Usually I just cover my sleeping pad area
Not for nothing and I respect everyone’s love for anything they do but I don’t do camping often just cause if how expensive it is
Vegetable oil heater. Will burn 🔥 all night, no toxic fumes, will not ignite if accidentally tipped over. Its a viable option. 🔥🕯💡🥰🧨☕🌡
Definitely an option, but wood is already in the forest
At 6:00 you talk about dampening the stove, what is that? and how do you do it?
The damper located on the rear of the pipe slows the burn rate of the stove
I see from another video it appears to block of access to the chimney? seems like that'd blow smoke back in so best to use it when coals are glowing right?
I have never seen that brand tent before?
Its a new one in the market and Impossible to find
I fucking love it.
Period!
Well worth it.....
If... you put in the work and the time.
Get out there and enjoy nature!!!
Thank you
Good day brother
😁🤙
Another GREAT video! what's your suggestion for 2 people and maybe a dog hot tent camping, winter, canoe camping so weight not as much as an issue, but not a 40-50 pounder 20-25lbmax
I'd suggest a pomoly hot tent, they offer different sizes in a few different material options as well. Pomoly.com
@@Lonewolfwildcamping thanks how does the hex and the hex plus compare? can you get 2 people, one 6 ft, one 508 comfortably in the hex tent?
Hex plus and manta are awesome and fit many people with stove. In your weight range too ruclips.net/video/G9fIH3sFZys/видео.html
@@Lonewolfwildcamping thanks again, videos that really help educate folks looking at gear/hot tents/ etc.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping hey, not trying to get into a ford vs chevy style debate, but what were your reasons for picking a Pomoly over a Lux?
I have seen a number your videos for a while now. I realize you have multiple stoves, and they all burn differently, so my question is not going to have a cookie cutter answer, BUT.. how much firewood do you process on average for say one night/morning? And how much burn time average per fill?
(It was one of your videos I stumbled on last winter which inspired me to camp out.. been practicing in my back yard under tarp shelters ever since (Feb 22). EVERY WEEKEND nearly without miss.. and then some. So, thank you 😎. It’s been a blast. Have my sleep system dialed in, Tarp configurations, etc. Gear is almost complete, still working on it. But I really want to give the stove concept a whirl 😁)
I appreciate the support. To be honest the stoves are nice, and are a luxury but it's best to rely on having an excellent sleep system bag to stay warm. All stoves burn different rates depending on type of wood, different Temps, etc. It depends on your comfort level and how warm you want it to be.
could one live in a hot tent 24/7 ? Is it possible?
Yes, many people around the world do it
What stove is it?
Pomoly timberwolf stove ruclips.net/video/Vul1TanEFwc/видео.html
Very well explained nice👌 🇵🇰
Thank you
