Just to clarify the tents shown in the video come with ground sheets and also have inner liners with bug mesh for summer time (sold separately), get more info here. On some ground the ground sheet will be more hassle than its worth, but is good to manage mud. canadianpreparedness.com/search?q=nortent*&type=article,page,product Use discount code SURVIVALPREPPER for 10% off
I know this is based on modern tech. In bug out situation id go with canvas for durability. This is why i have a GP small from ww2. For tent stakes i use potato digger chain for pounding in with sledgehammer. In bug out its easier to blend canvas into the background. Big problem with tent stoves is maintaining the fire.
@@dickburns1749 You make a very compelling argument indeed canvas is a more rugged material which was used A lot in the 1900s for work camps. If weight is not an issue and you're not so concerned about water or you're going to compliment your canvas tent with an additional tarp to prevent water ingress then indeed a canvas tent can be a good idea. However they are a bit more difficult to set up but for a semipermanent shelter they Are certainly more rugged. The only downside of course is when you have to pack up and leave and you run outta gas lol that's a lot the haul on your back
Valid point on gas shortage lol. If the canvas is trated well with linseat oil (as i believe they did back then) it will handle heavy rain out. In a bug out situation you should have a location picked out with good vantage point. In this situation you would preferably have a small group with you. If the tent needed relocated yo can use the center pole to carry between 2 persons putting about 150lbs per person. Still i do agree with the mor mobile tent for mobility
I’m homeless in Colorado and you couldn’t have posted this at a better time, with how much snow we’re getting. thanks for everything you do Canadian Prepper 🙏 you save more lives out here than you think
Thanks for the support everyone and appreciate the kind words 🙏❤️ I’m actually fairing quite well considering how unprepared I was for this and I’m definitely taking bugout/off-grid advice from anyone willing to share. It’s actually kinda fun out here tho, feels like I’m doing Russian spetnaz training in extreme cold temperatures or something lol but I’m also looking for work so I should be out of the shit soon. God bless you all and hope you guys do okay thru the winter as well 💪💪💪
One more comment - advice for using the wood stove in the lavvo 6 - the heat rises to the top so the bottom 2 or 3 feet of the tent is usually cold and condensation builds up - the upper part of the tent is bone dry as the heat dries up the moisture. Buy a stove heat powered fan. The air circulation is a game changer. Absolutely makes all the difference in the world. I’ll never use it in winter without the fan again. Cheers.
I choose the teepee every time. It’s an old proven design that has been used here in Sweden for ages. Easy to fix a broken pole. Harder to fix those long fiberglass poles on the dome. Keep it as simple as possible. Great video 👍🏼
One of the reasons I watch this channel is because the narrator is doing a lot of winter, snow, cold weather outdoor survival,, also the fact of the living style gives a confidence on experience and expertise Thanks,, you are doing a unlike job
As a Norwegian i'm kinda proud seeing you use Nortent. Have been using the lavvo (tipi) tent you're showcasing here several times this winter and i usually sleep better in it then i do at home. Great video!
I never thought about camping in the winter until I watched a guy set up a big canvas tent, use a stove made for tents, and just go on about how the smell reminded him of hunting this way as a kid. In the summer you have all the skeeters and bugs out, but this looks really nice with the snow, and just looks fun. God bless.
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on these hot tents. Both the pros and cons. Even though financially most can not afford these tents, it's the knowledge of the whole spectrum to survival. Can one survive without one , and do a make shift properly? Yes, knowledge and skills goes along way. Thank you for your insightful wisdom and going the extra mile of demonstration.
Living in Southern USA we don't get a lot of cold weather camping but for the occasional cold trip we use our summer tent (6 person dome) with a couple of Harbor Freight packing blankets stitched together and draped over, rainfly on after that. That's enough to hold the heat from a Mr. Buddy and keep us toasty at night. Necessity is the mother of invention!
I like hot tents and I have a couple myself. One feature that might be worth mentioning favoring the tipi tents are that you really don't need to bring tent stakes or a tent pole. These can be made from natural materials. I think your video is missing a clip at 4:45. Happy new year.
Great video and brought back more than a few memories. In the Army and conducted training on three occasions in Alaska and the stories I could tell about a bunch of "lower 48ers" wrestling with a ten man tent with liner, a yukon stove and an ahkio!
Great idea. I never thought about adding a stove pipe exit hole in a tent. Awesome idea. I don't live in a snowy area but it does get cold( cold to us anyway).
Thanks for posting the video. I have one difference of opinion regarding which is easier when there is little snow. At least when camping in the Sierra, even places that look like soft soil usually have some mix of rocks just below the surface. This renders stakes to be only marginally useful. I then have to scrounge for logs or rocks. If it's windy, they have to be large and heavy. This is less of an issue with the dome tent. With a teepee tent, the center pole becomes a pivot point for lifting the windward side of the tent. No such fulcrum exists with the dome tent. So, for windy conditions, with little snow to pack around the perimeter, and soil that limits the use of stakes, the dome tent seems the better choice
People use much larger hunting tents usually up here in Canada. You can rig a stove up in anything as long as you protect the stove pipe hole from melting 😁
A military canvas tent, with liner, and a military grade rocket stove cannot be beat! Yes, they are heavy and a pain to put up, but, you can and I have lived in them comfortably, long term, during the summer, winter and in the tropics!
Its interesting to watch these cold weather orientated videos. Here in western Australia we have pretty mild winters. Rare to hit 0°c at night mainly is around 5-10°c at night. Our main issue is the heat and the lack of water. Last 7 days its been 36-39°c most days with warm nights.
Those tents are fine for short term but if you are going out and staying out for a week or more, a canvas wall tent is the way to go. Sure it is heavy but there are options in all seasons to transport a base camp load to where you need it. With the exception of weight, a canvas wall tent is superior by every measurable standard. Also, for the price of the nortent you can get a really nice wall tent.
From my personal research it appears that Kodiak canvas tents are definitely some of the best quality tents out there, plus some of the most cost savings as well:)
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of guys using insulated pop up fishing shacks which where I live wouldn’t work we get rain in the winter and they don’t look water proof and at 50# without a sled and snow would be a pain but up north looks like a good option
Pop up ice fishing tent are a way better alternatives yes they are heavier (30lbs for the one I have), but easier setup and lots of place inside. That's what I use and I love it. I have a eskimo fatfish 949
@HH yep, easy install aswell. Just use a stove jack in place of a roof vent then your GTG add a welding blanket just in case that you drap on the poles behind the stove and voila.
Well our minds are tuned alike recently. I'm also being mindful of a winter bug out but im thinking more like a few shelters nearby that i can make and also utilize any snowmobile warm up shacks in the nearby vicinity 😊
There is another style of tent not mentioned that is starting to become more popular. It’s the hub tent. Setup time is 20 seconds max. Some have insulated material which means no condensation inside and better warmth. Just watch the snow load on the roof or bring a painters pole along.
I use the "Eureka Assault 4" tent $600. As long as your in sunshine and its 0 degrees outside, this tent is 50° inside. As i write this it's 50° out here and it's approx. 90° inside. Got to open the zippered doors to cool off.
Guess this will useful for you to. I also found weird in some places in Mexico can get foot of snow but in Florida we just get sleet,black ice or god for bid hail.
Very informative, thank you Nate! I've been researching hot tents for a few months now, and I believe either one would suffice for an extended period as both would require regular, if not daily, maintenance because weather exposure is unpredictable. However, in my experience, I've always taken a few extra steps to protect my shelter when encountering gnarly weather; simple things such as location by considering wind direction combined with rain, I'll set up simple wind barriers with natural material (branches, etc.) If I can locate it in and amongst trees, it provides an additional layer from rain and snow, providing trees overhead are safe. For myself, ultimately, I must assess the transportation of the tent. Being a solo adventure rider, less is more as I have always found ways to improve my camps using natural materials of the environment. If I consider this shelter a backup scenario for survival, I'm most likely selecting the teepee based on weight, ease of making new poles and ground stakes. For the glamping factor, I'd be all over the dome. After years of camping, I never wanted to walk inside my tent. Standing is a plus, but so long as I can sit up, that was key. For an extended period, the teepee provides a seating area along with a sleeping room; as for walking and standing, I'm confident that bushcraft exercises like building a more permanent structure would keep me busy because something terrible prevents me and my family from returning home. 😂
I am keeping my North Face 2 meter tent / Basecamp. I paid about $ 1800. For it 30 years ago, I think they are over $5000. Now? I have replaced the poles once. My father was a hunting guide with pack mules and heavy treated canvas wall tents was his choice, with little cast iron stoves. Late 40’s- mid 60’s.
Here's the video that caused you some stress to make... Did you manage to get your truck fixed? Thanks for the great content and the hardship you go through to make it. We appreciate it 🤠👍
The doom is if it is solid. I have had many doom tents and the wind or snow will disfigure it’s shape making it catch wind or build up more snow. Last year I got a tipi 12’ tall and 20’ across and the wind is nothing in it and sheds the snow way better as it falls off the side. And it never takes a direct hit from the wind. That’s been my experience anyways
@@JayhooOutdoors I wonder... if there is a way to combine both styles by getting two tents. The dome being better for heating, using one like his with an almost central opening for the stove pipe. If you could get a Tipi that goes over top the tent with the central poll and a stovepipe through the hole in the dome tent. That way you have wind/snow protection of that tent, allowing the Dome to just stay safe inside and heat efficiently?
@@Duskrequim that would probably work good I know some have an inner lining so it’s basically two tents and it holds the heat way better. Now I have never had a $1000 doom tent so that may make a difference for sure. I am comparing $400 doom tents to a $1800 tipi so not exactly fare. I see tipis with a inner wall about 6 feet high with a peace of canvas at about that height that covers hate the inside to hold the heat down. But they are way to heavy.
@@Duskrequim I love my canvas tipi and wood stove it’s like a home away from home at -20 out side I’m having to let the stove run down as I am at 20 inside sweeting lol. But unfortunately I could not use it as a bug out really as it is about 80lbs tipi and the same for the wood stove you are not getting it far from where you park the car unfortunately it would be bugging out in style if I could
the reason observatories are dome shaped has nothing to do with the wind. Is is because a dome gives you the most internal space for surface area of the exterior.
Having had a nortent tipi 6 I’d go for the dome! The staking, the wall sag, and having to frequently re-tension… A great tent and used it many times, but the dome is the way to go for me.
Tipi, deep snow or not. Easy to set up and stake. Great with a stove, you could use a small tree for the pole saving you a little weight backpacking. Love 'em.
A thick and insulated pop up style ice fishing tent with the stove jack are better than both. No poles. All the cold weather campers prefer it but likely need a sled to haul your gear if walking into the bush.
8:38 in the pyramid there is less space for hot air to distribute, so there will be hot air in lower altitude than in the dome where it has more room to expand on top(?) it is just an hypothesis
The teepee doesn’t need you to bring a centre poll or you can easily replace the pole with any nearby tree. You could even use an existing tree that you cut off at the 7’ mark or hang the peak from an overhead branch.
I have been off work since October 31. So I watch a lot of you tube prepping videos. With that said the tipi hot tent seems to be the most popular of the hot tents with hunters in the back country. I would love to be able to buy the Nortent . With my budget I can’t afford a nice tent such as one of those . If I could I think I would go with the dome style. Also I modified a Walmart brand six man dome tent . I put a stove jack in it it did great . Of course I know a lot of people are saying that’s dangerous. Any tent that you put a wood burning stove in it can be dangerous. I did my research though. First thing I checked was the fire rating . The tent I used and other tents I checked out all had the same rating. Next I looked at the fire rating of nylon tents that had a stove jack sewed in from the factory. The had the same fire rating as the Walmart tent. It would just be nice to have a tent that I did not have to modify to winter camp with. Happy New year
Happy to see you came back home to edit that video after your crazy night 👍. happy new year to you as well. Altough with 2020 and likley 2021 it can sound akward
Hey Canadian Prepper! I’ve been watching your channel for years but have been in “stealth mode” regarding Prepardeness. 😂 2020 has taught me it’s time to get involved in community. Happy New Year from beautiful British Columbia 🥳
Looked at them, I think. atuktents.com/en_prospector.php at first I was looking at the wrong price list thinking "$175 and up? That'll cut into grocery money, but..." Then I saw the actual prices were more around $1000 and up. Not saying it isn't worth it. Just what average, financially struggling person can afford that? I'd have to forego paying rent to pay for that, but still need a place in society to live while waiting for the tent to be delivered. Yeah, I know, with survival things ya get what ya pay for. But many of us can't afford to pay much. Even a $200+ tent is a major dent for most incomes.
Tipi design seems good because you don't have to use a center pole at all if you have a tree branch overhead, you can just suspend with cord from tree branch, or cut a pole in the woods.
I mean need vs want is big. Not saying inexperienced people should just head out into the winter nights expecting to survive without good gear(you won’t). But this is a luxury item in my mind. I use a quilted hammock year round and it has been fine for me. Granted, in the winter and late fall months I bundle up and have a decent sleeping bag to help with this. I don’t currently have a hot tent but plan on investing in one as my next piece of gear. I imagine I won’t be going back to hammock camping in the winter unless it’s absolutely necessary once I do.
Our Arctic Fox hot tent by Esker is nice because it has half the stake down points the true teepee style does. It is a little difficult to set up though and probably weighs a signifcant amount more because it's canvas. The wood stove for it also weighs over 40lbs so taking into the bush requires a sled.
I have used to use hot tents and I often use "Laavu" (almost like a baker tent, but I do it from wood/spruce twigs/sticks). You can have a fire going in a front of that, but it is important to use a big log front of the Laavu to avoid your gear turn in fire (not a good option if you are alone, but it is good to know how to make one if you are trying to survive in winter). And good to mention... I live in Finland
dude just from what you are pointing out in this video the Bereg tent would be the best option. ease of setup and teardown. they are bulky but so well thought out in terms of features its hard to pass them off.
Ive been homeless for a while now, and personally I prefer 2 tarp teepee. Frame , heat reflective tarp, second frame, heavy duty tarp and then bury in debris. Small fire inside. I can't afford the wood stove, and I'm sure it would weigh me down. I only use 1 US sea bag.
Because 'stove` means an enclosed space to place fuel in to heat a room. Stove can be used to define a heated room itself, or even being in a enclosed space as in 'stoved in`.
HAPPY NEW YEAR CANADIAN PREPPER!!!!!! THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDEO'S YOU MADE THIS YEAR FOR US TO WATCH!!!!! SEE YOU NEXT UPCOMING YEAR CANADIAN PREPPER!!!
I have been thinking about modifying an ice fishing tent for winter camping. They are already double-wall insulated and if I could put a stove and chimney in one I bet it would be incredibly warm.
I think Id go with teepee. Fewer points of failure, and if I needed to use a tent for more than one or two seasons, that capacity for greater heat loss could be an asset in the warmer months. Then again, my residence and my go-to bugout locations are all heavily wooded areas where I can easily compensate for the extra fuel demand.
Once you’re at -20 degrees it just sucks to be outside. The coldest I’ve hit outside “camping” was -38 degrees. At those temps it’s no joke just surviving 😳
Another great video!!! Can we get some products that are for comfort? Too old for all that no pain no gain crap. Alot of us want a video for easy set up and a good Expresso.
Good thing with the tipi is it handles snow and wind better and you don’t need to bring the poll you can cut one on site. As for pegging it out in snow just do snow anchors 😁 I got a huge canvas tipi and the wind is nothing in it as well as snow. But mine is way to heave to be a bug out shelter unfortunately because it would be a home away from home.
Just to clarify the tents shown in the video come with ground sheets and also have inner liners with bug mesh for summer time (sold separately), get more info here.

Don't forget the space lost in a tipi. It's a trade-off. Choose between space/comfort + extra pole weight or less space/comfort - pole weight.
@@truthseeker3404 I still choose my tipi. I can stand up in it. Easy to raise and assemble and take it down.

There's a good reason why artic and mountain explorers use domes.. they always keep their shape under heavy snowfall, whereas cones collapse
or because they are more space efficient? depends more on the quality of the tent
You are correct 😃
Nice bonus of the teepee tent is if the pole breaks you can use a stick. Also pomoly makes awsome tents and great prices...

Here's the video that caused you some stress to make... Did you manage to get your truck fixed? Thanks for the great content and the hardship you go through to make it. We appreciate it 🤠👍
Domes are actually way better in high wind than teepee. That's why observatories are domed. The geodesic dome is the strongest shape for a structure
The doom is if it is solid. I have had many doom tents and the wind or snow will disfigure it’s shape making it catch wind or build up more snow.
Last year I got a tipi 12’ tall and 20’ across and the wind is nothing in it and sheds the snow way better as it falls off the side. And it never takes a direct hit from the wind.
That’s been my experience anyways
@@JayhooOutdoors I wonder... if there is a way to combine both styles by getting two tents. The dome being better for heating, using one like his with an almost central opening for the stove pipe. If you could get a Tipi that goes over top the tent with the central poll and a stovepipe through the hole in the dome tent. That way you have wind/snow protection of that tent, allowing the Dome to just stay safe inside and heat efficiently?
@@Duskrequim that would probably work good I know some have an inner lining so it’s basically two tents and it holds the heat way better. Now I have never had a $1000 doom tent so that may make a difference for sure.
I am comparing $400 doom tents to a $1800 tipi so not exactly fare. I see tipis with a inner wall about 6 feet high with a peace of canvas at about that height that covers hate the inside to hold the heat down. But they are way to heavy.
@@Duskrequim I love my canvas tipi and wood stove it’s like a home away from home at -20 out side I’m having to let the stove run down as I am at 20 inside sweeting lol.
But unfortunately I could not use it as a bug out really as it is about 80lbs tipi and the same for the wood stove you are not getting it far from where you park the car unfortunately it would be bugging out in style if I could
the reason observatories are dome shaped has nothing to do with the wind. Is is because a dome gives you the most internal space for surface area of the exterior.
Having had a nortent tipi 6 I’d go for the dome!
The staking, the wall sag, and having to frequently re-tension…
A great tent and used it many times, but the dome is the way to go for me.
Tipi, deep snow or not. Easy to set up and stake. Great with a stove, you could use a small tree for the pole saving you a little weight backpacking. Love 'em.
Excellent not coming from a cold environment this information is very interesting thanks and helpful.🍻👏👏👏
A thick and insulated pop up style ice fishing tent with the stove jack are better than both. No poles. All the cold weather campers prefer it but likely need a sled to haul your gear if walking into the bush.
8:38 in the pyramid there is less space for hot air to distribute, so there will be hot air in lower altitude than in the dome where it has more room to expand on top(?) it is just an hypothesis
Happy New Year !!!!🥂🍾. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 🙂👍
Hope the rest of your Christmas went better. Thank you for your hard work. You've helped me a lot this year with your real world videos.
The teepee doesn’t need you to bring a centre poll or you can easily replace the pole with any nearby tree. You could even use an existing tree that you cut off at the 7’ mark or hang the peak from an overhead branch.
I have been off work since October 31. So I watch a lot of you tube prepping videos.
With that said the tipi hot tent seems to be the most popular of the hot tents with hunters in the back country.
I would love to be able to buy the Nortent . With my budget I can’t afford a nice tent such as one of those . If I could I think I would go with the dome style.
Also I modified a Walmart brand six man dome tent . I put a stove jack in it it did great .
Of course I know a lot of people are saying that’s dangerous. Any tent that you put a wood burning stove in it can be dangerous.
I did my research though. First thing I checked was the fire rating . The tent I used and other tents I checked out all had the same rating. Next I looked at the fire rating of nylon tents that had a stove jack sewed in from the factory. The had the same fire rating as the Walmart tent.
It would just be nice to have a tent that I did not have to modify to winter camp with.
Happy New year
I like this video, but I like more the last video when you stuck there with your pickup, that video give the idea to be almost a real prepper 100%, 👍😁
Excellent reviews Nate! I do appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos!
Happy to see you came back home to edit that video after your crazy night 👍. happy new year to you as well. Altough with 2020 and likley 2021 it can sound akward
Hey Canadian Prepper! I’ve been watching your channel for years but have been in “stealth mode” regarding Prepardeness. 😂
2020 has taught me it’s time to get involved in community. Happy New Year from beautiful British Columbia 🥳
wait till we get to 2021...YIKES ! hope you have a prepper pantry going.
@@SWPG I do SWPG. I was fortunate enough to catch the preparedness bug in 1999 haha
Canvas tents do have some benefits: way more rugged than syl nylon and they have better breathability. Llok at ATUK tents made in Canada
Looked at them, I think. atuktents.com/en_prospector.php at first I was looking at the wrong price list thinking "$175 and up? That'll cut into grocery money, but..." Then I saw the actual prices were more around $1000 and up.
Not saying it isn't worth it. Just what average, financially struggling person can afford that? I'd have to forego paying rent to pay for that, but still need a place in society to live while waiting for the tent to be delivered. Yeah, I know, with survival things ya get what ya pay for. But many of us can't afford to pay much. Even a $200+ tent is a major dent for most incomes.
@@gypsywoman9140 I agree the prices went up like crazy. When I bought mine it was 600$ and I thought it was pretty expensive
Wintertrekker another Canadian youtuber with a lot of winter hot tent camping videos and advice.
Never knew they existed , thanks
Tipi design seems good because you don't have to use a center pole at all if you have a tree branch overhead, you can just suspend with cord from tree branch, or cut a pole in the woods.
I mean need vs want is big. Not saying inexperienced people should just head out into the winter nights expecting to survive without good gear(you won’t). But this is a luxury item in my mind. I use a quilted hammock year round and it has been fine for me. Granted, in the winter and late fall months I bundle up and have a decent sleeping bag to help with this. I don’t currently have a hot tent but plan on investing in one as my next piece of gear. I imagine I won’t be going back to hammock camping in the winter unless it’s absolutely necessary once I do.
Our Arctic Fox hot tent by Esker is nice because it has half the stake down points the true teepee style does. It is a little difficult to set up though and probably weighs a signifcant amount more because it's canvas. The wood stove for it also weighs over 40lbs so taking into the bush requires a sled.
Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Heating of a dome takes much more energy then a teepee because the extra volume over a teepee...
I have used to use hot tents and I often use "Laavu" (almost like a baker tent, but I do it from wood/spruce twigs/sticks). You can have a fire going in a front of that, but it is important to use a big log front of the Laavu to avoid your gear turn in fire (not a good option if you are alone, but it is good to know how to make one if you are trying to survive in winter). And good to mention... I live in Finland
Outstanding video. Love my Gamme 4 and Tipi 4.
dude just from what you are pointing out in this video the Bereg tent would be the best option. ease of setup and teardown. they are bulky but so well thought out in terms of features its hard to pass them off.
Great video CP! Appreciate the struggles you went through to get it done.
Videos just keeping getting better !!!
Thanks Bro! - been looking at investing into winter tents over the last month great timing! happy new year!
Look at Seek Outside tents for great backcountry teepee tents w/ stoves.
Wow. Those dogs are GORGEOUS ‼️❤️
Ive been homeless for a while now, and personally I prefer 2 tarp teepee.
Frame , heat reflective tarp, second frame, heavy duty tarp and then bury in debris.
Small fire inside.
I can't afford the wood stove, and I'm sure it would weigh me down. I only use 1 US sea bag.
Cone/Teepee. because you can cut your own center pole if the one it comes with breaks.
Great point! A very underestimated capability, I should have thought of that thanks!
@@CanadianPrepper Thank you! big fan of what you do! looking forward to giving you more of my money haha
Excellent presentation!!!
Personally I think I would want the dome but teepee is better in some situations.
I was just thinking about these tents. You read my mind CP.
Because 'stove` means an enclosed space to place fuel in to heat a room. Stove can be used to define a heated room itself, or even being in a enclosed space as in 'stoved in`.
HAPPY NEW YEAR CANADIAN PREPPER!!!!!! THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDEO'S YOU MADE THIS YEAR FOR US TO WATCH!!!!! SEE YOU NEXT UPCOMING YEAR CANADIAN PREPPER!!!
I have been thinking about modifying an ice fishing tent for winter camping. They are already double-wall insulated and if I could put a stove and chimney in one I bet it would be incredibly warm.
GREAT 😆👍🏻 Á-B comparison. A dome tent for me (someday).
The question of teepee contra dome has been answered years ago. Dome is much more aerodynamic.
No competition here.
Great vid. I’ve been comparison shopping tipis & stoves for a while. Very helpful.
Happy New Year my favorite Canadian!
Moving in winterlandscape by musclepower, skis and pulk dragging over snow. Survival packing. Hunting for food in winter.
this is some pretty quality youtube hottent you posted here.
Its the before stuck video!!!! YAY!!!!
I would highly recommend anybody looking for a tent stove to shop somewhere other than this guys store. ... you can find much cheaper on Amazon.
Please review or recommend some good winter sleeping bags for buging out when you can
www.wiggys.com read some of their commentary on insulation.
I think Id go with teepee. Fewer points of failure, and if I needed to use a tent for more than one or two seasons, that capacity for greater heat loss could be an asset in the warmer months.
Then again, my residence and my go-to bugout locations are all heavily wooded areas where I can easily compensate for the extra fuel demand.
Once you’re at -20 degrees it just sucks to be outside. The coldest I’ve hit outside “camping” was -38 degrees. At those temps it’s no joke just surviving 😳
Another great video!!! Can we get some products that are for comfort? Too old for all that no pain no gain crap. Alot of us want a video for easy set up and a good Expresso.
*A "hot tent"...LOL...."Honey, oh sweet heart" !! Tents a rocking dont come a knocking*
Great video man. I've been looking in to these stoves the last few weeks.
Good thing with the tipi is it handles snow and wind better and you don’t need to bring the poll you can cut one on site. As for pegging it out in snow just do snow anchors 😁
I got a huge canvas tipi and the wind is nothing in it as well as snow. But mine is way to heave to be a bug out shelter unfortunately because it would be a home away from home.
@HH 🤣😂
@HH I have never tried one of those little tipis. But the bigger ones are rock solid
Happy New Year CP - it's gonna be great🌠
Great video, made me feel cold just watching! I like the look of the dome tent myself.
Wish I could afford one
