    Here we have another in-tents video from Backpacking TV! In this video I break down the differences between 4 season and your typical 3 season tent and why you might need to purchase a heavy duty winter tent for your winter camping, backpacking or hiking adventures. I’m a big proponent of saving money and using the gear you already have. Can you maximize the three season tent you already have? We’ll look at that here.

    I've spent a lot of time winter camping in my 3-Season tent. In my opinion, 3-Season tent are WAY more versatile than you think and can be used YEAR-ROUND. 4-Season Tents are best reserved for high altitude, alpine trips. Save your money!

    I have the same tent but in 2 persons size , about 8 pounds but I never carry it in my backpack in winter as I do use a sled ( pulk ) to bring the gear to destination. I also use it for canoe trip ( with no portage) in early Spring or late fall for when the weather is changing every half hour . That tent is not easy to set rapidly because of the numbers of poles needed to raise it up . But once installed you feel that anything can happen and you will be safe. I once had 12 inches of wet snow during the night and the tent held well without knocking the snow off because I was sleeping .

    What about a "warm" tent that is not going to be snowed on and wont have wind? How about something that is thicker material and yet still has ventilation? what would that tent be called? I mean, the 3 season tents have lots of mesh but I need something for 20 F?

    Couple of tho'ts: 1st, that the demo tent is not only for winter, it's for open, un-sheltered campsites. Would pitch my double-wall 1-man tent (2lb) under my tarp (1lb) and stake the hell out of it and feel safe BUT -- in those woods behind you. 2d, that you've got a 2man tent why is one person carrying both tent and poles? Prob'ly could be made two 5lb sacks. So weigh not a deal breaker. And THANX! Enjoyed it.

    • @aliceinwonderland8314
      @aliceinwonderland8314 Рік тому

      For cold winds, a tent with a mostly fabric inner rather than a mostly mesh inner is useful for keeping you warm. You can sometimes buy cold season inner variations for certain tents. If you have a warm enough sleep system and you're not worried about snow a 3 season tent would probably be okay, depends on how cold it gets.

      Even though I am not 100% sure, I believe it is Kaitum 2, from Hilleberg. Having said that, it is interesting(?) why the brand and the model of the tent was never mentioned on the video, nor is was listed on the links in the description... I would like to think there is a good reason/explanation for this, and I would had liked to know what this reason is. Because now it just looks sketchy... (i.e., Hilleberg did not pay money, therefore they are not getting mentioned)

      @@ryanfindlay2348 In short not very well. A 3-season tent will usually suffer from a lot of condensation in winter. And as said in the video, if it's snowing, you will have to wake up multiple times a night to clear the snow.
      A 4 season on the other hand can certainly be used in warmer weather too, it'll just weigh more in your pack.
      If you want to hike in both summer and winter and can only get one tent, get a 4-season.
