I love how you understand how we’re all still “kids, but with money” because I’m doing exactly what I said I would do if I had the money. 👍
From better tents to camper shells to campers! Lol
This was a great video. Even if I’m seeing it a year after you’ve posted it.😂😂
There’s more hot tent stuff there.Check it out! I got the bug. Lol. Thanks Danny!
Hot tenting can cost some money and it’s a lot of work when all is set and done. You can’t beat the warm environment, comfort and drying out wet clothes. Nice set up and camp
Oh yes. There’s are plenty of things that like to separate you from your hard earned cash. Haha. I’m fairly new to this setup, but it’s pretty darn nice. Thanks for watching!
109???!! Christ man, that stove ROCKS. I think hot tenting is a fed. Every fool on UA-cam has one these days. 😀 Excellent video my friend.
Thank you Sir Buckley. Cheers.
It's a lot of work, but you have to consider it from a survival aspect as well. How many stranded peoples' lives would have been saved if they'd packed one of these on their winter trip? Food, warmth, shelter. Just having a small stove tent as part of your car's emergency kit can be a lifesaver. One thing of note is that you need to have the proper sized stove for your tent. The OneTigris stove is a bit small for a tent that large, and larger stoves can also accept larger pieces of wood. It also helps if you have more than one person to help tend the fire at night.
These tents can save lives. I’ve done it. This stove and tent combo are what’s recommended for use. A bigger stove could actually melt the tent. I’ve seen that as well. We typically do t let the stove burn overnight. We rely on propose sleep systems. However. When we have burned overnight, we took turns. Great point. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been looking at these. For now I’m enjoying the simplicity and very real challenges of cold tenting. Thanks for the vid!
It is a challenge. I like the chores though. Keeps me busy and is simple living. Chop wood, carry water, cook & sleep. Simple. I love it. Thanks for watching!
I love hot tent camping. I’m from Canada and I camp year round. Some of my favourite camping is hot tent with a wood stove. People are lazy!! And complain about how much work it is. But I enjoy the process yes it’s hard and tiring etc but enjoying the process for me is part of the fun. Even in -30-40 degree’s Celsius I enjoy the process and cooking on the stove, relaxing in peacefulness and the beauty in the forest and lake areas I go to. My son and I live to get out and enjoy nature and the winter camping!!! ❤️🏕️🥶
I agree! I do love the simplicity winter camping provides. Do the chores ie. firewood, water, prepare food, sleep, pee & poop. All this while enjoying the solitude and ruggedness of the landscape. Thanks for the insight and for watching!
Researching this setup for the upcoming winter months! Thanks for sharing! Giant kids with money lol
Am I wrong?! Haha. I’ll do a more in-depth review if this setup plus one another as the cold season approaches. Thanks for watching!
Exactly. Where I live, warm/hot weather is 1/4 of the year. Why would I want to limit myself to summer camping? I actually enjoy the hot tent experience over summer camping. Anyone can camp when it's warm. And the added bonus of empty campgrounds when you do use one.
Yes! You get it. Haha.
Thanks Rob. This is definitely something I want to try. I have camped year around, but getting older now and that looks a lot more comfortable. Good review! 👍👍
Having that space of warmth and an area to dry out is worth it. Give it a go!
This hot tent is new to me, but looks inviting!
I have a question. No floor is interesting. Can a tarp be used? I usually sleep on the ground, but don't think I would without a barrier.
you wanna see the uk/eu sleep systems for carp fishing. if you can cope with the extra weight we use heavy duty beds and sleeping bags/systems. you can also get a sleeping bag cover that's thermal that goes over your bed and attaches to the bed frame. here's one (Sleeping Bag Dewpoint 3
Great setup! Love the shock cord around the cot idea!!! This was a great, informational over view. I'm just getting started in hot tent camping, and really appreciate your ideas. I'm getting the Rock Fortress, but still looking for a good stove - Woodlander double view- medium is on the shortlist.
Thanks for your info!
Great combo! That stove is a beast. Especially for that tent. Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!
I went with the tegimen so I could always use my hammock and not need my stove.....love it.good vid.
Great tent!
Just bought this same hot tent this week. It's my first!
Oh nice! Let me know how it works out!
I got a hot tent and stove for Christmas. Its the cheapest ones on Amazon and just a bit smaller than the one you have. Its like $150 for the tent and very manageable to set up by yourself. Not the best quality but for the money its worth it. I got it out once now and it was fun. I like how you said we're just giant kids with money.
Even the cheap ones do a decent job. Ideally, canvas is the way to go, but now you’re looking at more $$. Glad you had a good time. Ha! We do have money and still have frivolous hobbies. Oh well. Thanks for watching!
I tried a new brand,Pomoly. I like their large stainless steel tent stove with the glass viewing window and window grill, it is really enjoyable during wood burning. What is most important is it will not cost you too much.
Pomoly has some great stuff. I have a titanium stove from them. And I really like how they offer some canvas tent options. Thanks for watching!
No, Hot Tenting isn't "Cool"...it's HOT!--🙂
I ordered the smaller Tigris and Titanium Wood stove. It'll be set up in my brother's back yard, the New "Hotel New Hampshire" (replacing the old "Hotel New Hampshire", which was a pop up camper) It should be fun...can't wait.
5 STARS!
--Van
Heck yes! I hope you enjoy the winter fun. I certainly do. Thanks for watching!
Why is everyone saying it's expensive to hot tent?
Outdoor activities are basically all expensive if you buy the best stuff.
I bought a stove on sale for 330$ and a 4 person tent for 130$.
My other outdoor gear cost me about 6000$- 8000$... so other tents, sleeping bags, stoves, clothing etc...
It's like saying hiking is expensive because a good jacket and hiking boots will cost you at least 400- 500$.
I guess it’s just perspective. Everything is expensive these days. Spending thousands to just roam & sleep outside. Haha. Thanks for watching!
I'm a 68 yr old lady that teaches local young 'uns what to if they find themselves in a "situation". I am in Northern Wisconsin and I use a small wood stove when I go out Ice Fishing. I can't begin to tell you how the warmth from that stove- either in a ice shanty or tent feels when your feet are numb and your hands aren't far behind!
That’s wonderful! I believe gaining competence in the outdoors adds to self-confidence and self-assurance in our daily lives. Those little stoves only need to knock the chill out of the air. If you can get up to 70° on a -10° day, that’s just a bonus… Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed the video. For your sleep system. Small tip. I would look at getting a non Amazon knock off sleep pad. Thermorest 4 season pads r6-9. Are a true r value and you will not need the extra reflective mats.
I’ve been checking these tents out for a while now to make it a little less work for taking my little guy out.
Just received my Rock Fortress today. Thank you for all the info, I’m going to go with the Roar for my stove.
So many options out there. This combo works. I do wish there was one section of pipe for the stove, but it’s fine for the most part. I did have a few ember holes. Little ones I just patched up. I ordered a spark arrestor. Should be here soon and I’ll update. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for coming down. Hope you liked the spot. Crazy how loud and close the coyotes were. Hadley and I both like the tent and stove. Have fun in a few weeks up north. Great video
Thanks Shane! We’ll have to get out again soon.
Winter is the better time to camp, no bugs, no filthy heat.
BEST review I've seen on this tent, and I've seen several. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Have dove in hard on the hot tent thing this year!
Just got my One Tigris Rocdomus hammock tent, (same one that Buckley has), and taking it out on its maiden voyage this week.
I started out with a tepee tent last November. So much fun, but yes, quite a bit of work...
In summertime, it’s crushing miles. In wintertime, it’s gathering and processing wood.
That pretty much sums it up! The Rocdomus looks solid. Thanks for watching!
I can't justify the usage where I live, I can understand it where you live. The temperature control is the big thing. The fan is a great idea BTW. Anytime you camp in below zero temps, it is pretty much constant work, tent or no. But the tent definitely allows you the chance to legit 'warm up'. I've been on some trips where I didn't feel super warm the entire trip.
Hope you are feeling better !
I’m feeling much better! It’s all about environment right? I’m good sans hot tent down to 0°, but why not have a warm place?? Haha. Thanks for watching!
Hi,Your video is cool,just bought the tent and stove,looking forward to using this next month,nice to see it acually kept you nice and warm.
I got that thing cooking. Haha. Have you gotten it out yet? Thanks for watching!
I bought a OneTigris Rock fortress as a Christmas present, not used it yet due to Christmas and heavy rain. Don’t mind it raining after I’ve set up, but setting up in the rain is horrible
Rain makes everything inconvenient. How did the set up work out?
@@robpelton still not had a chance to test it yet, want to put it up in the backyard before going out into the wild, just to make sure nothing is missing or got damaged in transit. unfortunately I live in the UK and my backyard is too small, my friend is going to let me put it up in her backyard, but at the moment it’s a jungle so I’ll have to cut it back first 😂 on the plus side she going to give me £50 to do it
I saw One Tigress has a hammock hot tent. That would be sweet.
Yep! I have few buds with one. Pretty sweet!
Looks like fun! But it also looks like you spend a lot of time finding and prepping firewood.
Yep. Wood prep is a priority. I like the work though. It’s simple and satisfying.
thats the whole fun of winter camping, 90% why i go out and do it
Looks like just what I need for my trailer
Trailer? You have me curious. Haha.
I think next winter I'm going to try out hot tenting. Thanks for the tour of your set up Rob. Looks like fun. 👍
It’s been pretty fun having my own setup. Gives me more reasons and opportunities to get out. Thanks Beckett!
I have taken my camping to the next level. Bed and Breakfast.
Now that sounds smart. Haha.
That looks huge in there. It sure would be nice to stay warm at night. Really cool Rob. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Jason! Invite open my friend.
Awesome video
Thank you!
Nice video Rob. I have a Northview coming in the next few days along with a winner well stove. Looking forward to getting into it. Thanks for bringing us along.
Right on! How cold do you see yourself going?
@@robpelton Whatever the coldest he is here in the Boise area. There’s BLM not too far away where I plan on camping alone. I may eventually get up into the mountains, we will see. So I might see some single digits F* depending on how the winter goes. If I get up into the mountains, below zero. The problem with living in the Mountain West is all the beautiful tree filled areas are higher in elevation and you get a lot of snow.
Sweet. Very informative breakdown of your set-up. Appreciated.
I appreciate it. Cheers!
Hello Rob, very nice hot tent set up. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
I appreciate you stopping by!
Nice setup Rob! I always like to see other people's hot tent setups. I need to pick up one of those fans for sure. Take care 🤙
Yeah. Those fans circulate air really well. Thanks for watching!
Looks like an awesome setup! Can’t wait to see it.
Soon my friend. Soon.
Very nice. I wish I would've invested in this at the beginning of the cold season last year. At this point, I might as well wait until next fall now. Also, we haven't had enough snow/cold in my area to really make it worth it. I'd have to drive 3+ hours to get into any really good snow. I like this setup, though.
Thanks Lance! Our climate necessitates these tents. If I was farther south, I’d just keep rocking hammock backpacking trips! The hot tents are a hoot though. More stuff to tinker with. Afterall, as men, we’re happy when we’re tinkering. Haha. Thanks for watching!
Hot tents are good fun! I hope to share an adventure with you and your crew someday.
Get up here my bro.
Another great video Rob. I jumped on the bandwagon as well and picked up the LoneWolf Hammock hot tent a few months ago. I am not willing to give up my hammock in the winter. I paired it with the cheap Luxe stove. I wish my stove was a little bigger. I am planning a trip out to Afton in a couple weeks - maybe I will run into you! It looks like you had some wool bibs, are they the Big Bill ones? I am doing some research and deciding between the Big Bill and a couple others. Best, Pete
Yes! Big Bill. There’s a link in the bud for them. I like em. Hit me up when you head out. Good chance I’ll be available. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been in tents ⛺️ with heat of an on through the years…nothing new !
Love the set up. Been looking at a hot tent for years. I also asked Almost, what was your thought on the cot? Squeaky? The first thing that caught my eye were those bibs. Plan on doing a review? I burned a hole in my buddies down pants last weekend playing with the fire. This is a must for the winter months in MN.
No noise from the cot at all. It was a solid find. The bibs are great! Not super spendy, but I like them for exactly the reason you mentioned. There is a link for them in the vid. Perhaps I should review them…🤔 Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Mason City!
Hello hello!
Hot tent is the shit....has been will always be 👍
I agree!!
Really like the new sleep system. Works good?? Need to test it without the hot tent. Seems like a much smoother entrance and exit this time around too.
2 people in there is good. 3? Not so good. Sleep system is excellent! Thanks Mike!
Glad to see it's getting better for you with each time you drag that sled out. So who planned this trip, you?
Damn it Rob. Now you've got me thinking way too hard about a hot tent set up. Errrggg gotta find some side jobs for extra dinero's. She's going to have a fit.
Ha! Sorry man. I know it look glamorous. Keep in mind, I don’t have a family. Not sure if that’s good or
bad. Haha. Either way, hot tents are friggin sweet.
Very nice. Well done!
Thanks Hoot! How you feeling man?
@@robpelton Good! Sorry it took so long to reply. Bought a new tent, and ready to start using it.
Great Review
Thanks! Just a little overview. A more detailed review coming!
Careful those little stoves are a joke the chimneys are undersized, and you need to clean it every day or you will not wake up in the morning? I would get an adapter and size the chimney up 1" this should work better just saying 🙂
They’re not too bad for smaller setups. My big setup has a 5” pipe. That thing throws some big time heat.
Got my spring BWCA permit today unfortunately not the entry point I wanted but oh well...
Man. Permits are flying. I’d like to get up there far a canoe trip, but damn. Too much to plan.
@@robpelton luckily I'm from Ely and my Aunt and Uncle own Canoe County Outfitters
@@GratefulTrekker really? That’s cool. I’ll be sure to hit them up to get outfitted next time I’m up.
Did you have problems with smoke leaking from the stove into the tent?
Not after the 1st burn. Even then, it was minimal.
Looking forward to sleeping in your hot tent in a few weeks! Nice video friend.
I’m not, but thank you. 😛
🤔🤣🤣🤣
how do you prevent burn holes in the tent?
After some trial and error, I try to burn good dry wood and use a spark arrestor. In addition to that, I try to get the top of the chimney high and away from the tent. A 45° elbow is perfect for this. I ended up using tear tape to patch the little burn holes. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Are they awesome... I'm excited to find out... I'll be testing mine out the next couple of weekends...
Your tent looks huge and yet you look like a hoarder at 0:46 😂 That's hot tenting though right?!
Sorry your pipe isn't long enough... Lots of men have that issue... ;)
Haha. Well, I wasn’t solo the whole time. If I was alone, it’d super roomy in there. Let me know when you plan on heading out.
More hot tent videos Krusty!
On their way!
Are you using the stakes that the tent came with or something different
I am using 6” Timber-Loks. The stakes that come with the tent are not useful for our environment. Haha. Frozen solid ground. Thanks for watching!
I think it passed the "fad" deadline a hundred years ago or more
Well, of course these have been used for centuries, but not on the level it is now. Hot tents have boomed in popularity these last couple of winters. There are many more companies producing tents now. Kind of like people have been drinking water since the dawn of man, but Evian made it cool in modern times. Thanks for watching!
Worst part is cutting the wood to size ugh
Haha. Right??!!
That tent is a no-brainer no-go. Too many fundamental design flaws.
It’s just ok. My ultimate want is a Snowtrekker. But this darn thing will have to do for now. 😕 thanks for watching!
Took my wife to the Colorado rockies with a hot tent a d she didn't want to leave the tent the whole time.
Haha! I’ve experienced the same thing. Haha. Thanks for watching!
"Are hot tents legit?" why no every one of our ancestors froze to death, duh!
lol. I’m more referring to the newer versions and the sudden rise in popularity. Also, our ancestors didn’t have SilPoly…haha. Thanks for watching!
@@robpelton I get it, I'm a fan of old school canvas. Heavy as heck but pretty bullet proof. I find the newer Sil tents interesting but, how would they hold up over years of use, compared to canvas? I will say I think that the Russian Bear Market tents look good for what the are, but compared to a GP small, how will it hold up over 20-30 years? I'd guess not as well.
@@gorbaggoescamping1329 oh, they won’t hold up well at all. I have my eyes on a snow trekker. 9 week wait. So, I opted for one of these lightweight ones. Yes, their light, but not sturdy. They don’t breath well and can’t handle embers. Canvas is the way to go for sure. If these new designs get more people out though, I’m all for it.
@@robpelton If they get people out there sure I guess, but price point and actual survivability, favor canvas. For a weekend camp ok Sil is fine for an actual long term... CANVAS or death.
I have a 5m tent with stove for me and 2 dogs and 2 cats.. ,it was 40 last night but 87 in the tent..
I’d say that’s warm enough! Camping cats??
