This camp seems super comfy!! Love nature all around. My personal winter tent fave is UP 2 from RBM Outdoors: great piece of gear too.
Love Winter camping, no bugs, no sweats, just enjoying the breezing wilderness, awesome video.
That's the most comfortable I've ever seen you camp Rob. Your very own freezing, wooded, wilderness Shangri-La! Nice video 😊👍
Haha it sure is!! I could definitely see myself living in this thing for a while, setting it up out of the way somewhere and just staying for an entire week!
Eeek! This feels like Christmas morning. An hour long video and it’s in the snow?! What a gift!
Thanks Danielle!! It felt like Christmas morning that's for sure! So peaceful with all the snow coming down around me
Right? I’m so happy to see this.
Love the video, Rob! Thanks for showing off the tent and all the space inside, we really enjoyed what you've done with it. Can't wait to see you get out for some more trips with it!
Thanks guys! Me too! I'm looking forward to getting the stove in there as soon as the elbows arrive!
My 5 yr old daughter and I enjoyed this video. She loves the snow, Kodiak pancakes and hot dogs. She’s excited to go camping. Thanks bud.
Awww that's awesome! I love that! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it I'm happy she's excited to go camping!!
The forest u hv chosen is a fairy tale setting. Just adore it
I’ve been winter camping for years with the Kodiak canvas model of this tent. Tip: get yourself a portable hammer drill for drilling frozen ground. They are cheap and light and if you upgrade the battery you’ll have the power to set up 10 similar tents. The Australians use them for drilling into compacted desert.
Thats a great idea Kev!! I have an auger bit that I use for setting earth anchors in the ground and never even thought to use something like that! And when truck camping I can bring the drill no problem
@@BrooksandBirches No! You are missing the genius of my tip. You are buying a battery powered hammer drill which is primarily used for drilling concrete. (Of course most people won’t own one). It takes a bit made for drilling concrete which is why it makes short work of, say, 6” of ice and then even frozen gravel underneath. Get a concrete bit that is 12” long to take care of your tent peg - you’ll easily find one in the diameter of your pegs. The bit will plow through roots if need be. It’s important that you get the pegs properly seated in the ground in case of high winds or heavy snow loads. The bits are about $15 and can be found at big-box hardware stores. I carry two.
The forest u hv chosen is a fairy tale setting .just adore it
Unbelievably beautiful. Thanks. Love the snow.
Living vicariously. Novicehere. I wonder if you could jerryrig a tarp over back tent door to the back of your car for cooking, storage, extended space. There is nothing;Ike being “in” the weather. It strengthens the soul, builds endorphins, the connection to the universe is real. Thank you for sharing.
This is my favourite bushcraft / outdoors channel. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow, thank you Mark! It's always nice to hear that
Is a sharp looking tent. Like the yurt they have
Yeah they make some really cool tents! Now all I need is a plot of land in the woods
@@BrooksandBirches gonna get the yurt for my plot this spring / summer hopefully. Got orchard and food plots for hunting as well
I miss seeing the snow and the mountains in the snow but don't miss driving in the snow or being out in the cold to shovel on not being able to get home because of blizzards and having to stay in motel room to stay safe because roads to my home are closed or haven't been plowed; at one time I lived in Essex County in NY
Thank you for taking us along on your journeys!
Would you like to make a fire colorful next time?
Love this one That tent is beautiful
In the day time these scenes are so beautiful and serene but at night it’s a little spooky - nope I don’t do pitch dark lol but I enjoy how you enjoy nature ❤️
Isn't it a spacious tent..with a wonderful ambience around it.
Very enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing.
whenever you need something just go to your truck and pick it up it's right there beside you you know you can have all your stuff right there around you by your truck just make sure your truck is close by and you'll be able to survive the night
Love that tent
Nice tent Rob...looks like you had a great time!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Kristin!! It was a lot of fun, different to my usual activities
Well, at least he didnt try to fake backpacking that in... (I HAVE seen others DO that!) Reminds me of my many winter camp outs in the Adk Mtns with our old 10X12 canvas family cabin tent, but I had a different propane heater, a chrome kinda upright lampshade facing sideways with 2 screens that had the flame between them, that mounted directly to the tank. The tent and that tank are both long gone, but I still have that heater. Ya know, with that pre packaged wood & all, you shoulda at least used a flame thrower to lite the camp fire!. BTW, DULL side of the foil toward the food! The shiny side is bare aluminum, Very Unhealthy! The dull side is anodized. Get some of those buffer pads they put under furniture legs to protect that tent floor. NICE setup!! Jerry.
Holy cow man, that tent is freakin huge.
🥰
We could have used this in early 1980's he retired from service month before children were out of school for summer so we pitched a tent and we ( 2parents and 5 children) slept in it for month before we moved to new location so children would have summer before school started in fall; spent month in tent moved into house 2nd week in house I get strep throat ( nice way to get introduced to new location - fever, aches & pain, sore throat, ) I had blankets wrapped around me while every one else had shorts and t shirts and me shivering in July they all laughed at me LOL
dude-your pancakes were almost touching... 46:35.
Epic camping fail avoided
🥩🥚😁
haha I know man! You can hear my audible "oh no" when I poured it, luckily they didn't conjoin and just sort of nestled against each other
Howdy Rob. Accommodation 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Food Michelin 🌟 That's not camping. That's glamping! Best wishes 😀🇬🇧
Howdy Charlotte!! Thanks you!! It definitely is clamping, it's a nice change that's for sure
Way to go Rob. Love the tent and enjoy the beautiful crisp cold weather. Keep following your nose Rob! From your Canadian friend Up North.
Thanks buddy! The tent is awesome! Absolutely in love with that thing and looking forward to some extended trips in it! Cheers
I was waiting for a snow angel when slipped and fell. Hot dog dinner or tube steak as we call them at home, nothing wrong with that for sure.
Haha I should have made a snow angel!! Nothing wrong with a couple of tube steaks! Always good eating
Nice set up,cooking looking good
What a great solo adventure, thanks for sharing Rob.. All the Best and Happy Trails my friend !
Thanks Scott!! I had a really enjoyable trip that's for ure
What a great tent! Wouldn't want to set it up just for an overnighter, that's for sure, but for an extended stay, wow, look super roomy and comfy! A bit of glamping for sure! Truck camping is the way to go for the most comfortable experience. You can bring as much of anything you want or need! How about a center support of some kind for the awning that would raise the center high enough to let the snow fall off? You'd have to navigate around it, but maybe worth it? Enjoyed watching all you had to do while you were there. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Maggie! It is definitely doable to set it up for an overnighter but once you factor in all the extra gear its a bit much, I like the idea of using it for longer trips and using it as a base camp for some back country backpacking trips. Spend a couple nights in it, go for an overnight adventure somewhere and then come back to it for a day or two etc
I camp all year long in Maine with a Kodiak 10x14 same configuration you have. Only with the vestibule. The Wife, the Dog and I love it. As far as steaks go I use 1/2” x 12” lag boults, battery powered hammer drill and all good. I can not wait for the wood stove set up video. 👍🏻
Same! It's going to be a good one, we're keen to see how Rob does it.
Thanks Mike!! Thats a great idea!! I need to get a hammer drill to give this a try! Looking forward to getting the stove in there soon and going on another trip
@@BrooksandBirches oh and don’t forget fender washers for each of the lag boults. The drill I use is just a Milwalkie 1/2 combo drill
I have the teton mesa 8 man very similar. the canvas breathe nice. I use a battery operated fan with the heater. although I had the tent for 4 years now I never had a problem with cabon monoxide
Can you imagine using Lake Champlain as a parking lot while everyone is ice fishing, I would not put my vehicle on ice no matter what time of year
Nice set up Rob. You've came a long way since you began. Happy for you.
Thanks Jon!! I know it feels like a long time ago now, it's nice to be able to show all different sides of camping and the opportunities there are for different abilities
Love that tent....its the next on my list of toys !!!..... Like you I can add my wood stove and a fire shield to the wall and be toasty !!!
Sounds great! I managed to get hold of the pieces I was after so I'll be adding the wood stove next time!! It'll be great
I run my buddy heater all night in the tent with a battery fan on low behind it to to keep then warmth moving never had an issue. I’m not freezing my ass off all night, hasn’t killed me yet and used it for months in the camper on a big tank to help offset some of the cold
Nice long video. Big thumbs up. Take care.
Thanks buddy!! Glad you liked it!
A nice & huge tent!
57:08 knowing my luck, I'd be right on a lake.🤪
Your tent should smell like onions and other amazing food smells! That is the beauty of it. ;).The weather is just like this now in Newfoundland Canada. We could get 50 +cm in a day.
Bro, you deserve that beautiful tent. You’ve come so far and advanced in so many skills in such a short time… yes you deserve it. Another great video, and I loved the length of this one as well. The overnighters are cool, but the multi-day trips are the best for a thorough reset. Keep it going Rob!!👍👍
Thank you so much David 😀 I've come a long way but I still make some silly mistakes which is part of the fun! The tent is awesome, I'm really happy with it, I've been wanting one for a really long time, before UA-cam even so to have one now really does feel like a reward for the last three years
@@BrooksandBirches I love the way that you have fun in your videos 😁 I kinda miss the Kung Fu moves and the raw bottom trail slides, but I won’t ask you to repeat that! 😂 it just makes me feel good to see that not all of the younger generations are letting go of the old ways. Lots of new gadgets, sure, but you’ve got the essentials down, and that’s what will a fella alive when the chips are down. Plus you can tell how much you revere nature, and that’s something everyone should do. So as you 🇬🇧 folks say, crack on!
@@BrooksandBirches n
I thought that butter was going to take your hand 🤚
Lol
I liked that!
MY HANDSOME GRANDSON. =. YOU. CANNOT EVEN EMAGIN. HOW I ENVY YOU. FOR. BEENG. IN THE FOREST + SNOW + STOVE. !!! IM =82= YEARS OLD GRANDMA FROM = LA = WHERE NEVER SNOWING. !!!! GOD BLESS YOU = BE. HAPPY. = HEALTHY. !!!!!
Where's your mint sauce, peas, and yorkshire pudding for that lamb? Haha my mom is very British Canadian so that was the combo we had at Easter, although it was usually a leg of lamb. We have an ez up tent that works with the 10x10 shade structure, it's amazing to have all the room inside
Great vid mate 👍
At 56:10 you look like the kid from A Christmas Story “I can’t put my arms down” 😂 another great video brotha 🤙🏽
😂😂😂 I felt like a kid again to be honest! Not often these days we get to look at the world with so much wonderment
I'm going to watch a good video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The scenery!!!Just paradise .
It is beautiful!
Snow is lovely. Thanks for the cinematic shots in ur videos!
The propane tank may need to sit away from the heater... that's what I've seen on similar videos.
Nice to see you enjoying yourself and thanks for bringing us along. 💛
Thanks Rhya 💛 Honestly as soon as I can I plan on getting rid of the propane heater, well not like throw it away or anything but switch it out for a wood stove instead!!
reminds me of how my parents camped with a big family way back when, with a satellite tent or two and everybody comfortable.
:)
It's perfect for that sort of thing, I've already booked a campground stay in the summer for it, plus a Florida trip next year
Tent with a view , awesome piece of kit 😃In a nice environment 🏕so beautiful where you live 🪵🌲
It really is! I'm very lucky to live here Ronny, I have access to so much beautiful public land!
t
Me gustó eres tu mismo con la nauraleza en todos sus matices del día y de la noche. Gracias por estos momentos.
Outstanding content...
Thanks Robert!!
Very nice setup! I used to have the Kodiak 10x14, basically the same thing of what you have. I would run my mr. Buddy heater all night with no issues. Also had a monoxide detector for safety. Definitely agree with getting a drill of some sort with lag bolts. Getting all the anchor points hammered in is exhausting!
Glad to see a video from you of this length. Thanks and do more when you can.
Thanks Johnny! I want to do more content like this, back before all the nay sayers got into my head
I enjoyed your video and enjoy your gusto for the outdoors. I used to do that but never at -20 degrees. You have the right mindset and are in the right age group to do it. My candle is short now but I'll try it your way in my next life time. Thanks.
Thanks Manny!! I really appreciate that, it's hard for me at -20° but with the right equipment it is possible!
By the time I got that tent put up I'd need to take a nap before I have energy to get firewood, or items organized inside it; must be alot of work to setup by yourself; is it big enough for a family my brother and his wife and children go to a camp ground all summer about 2 months every year he travels back and forth to his work while they are camping her whole family camps for summer to get out of city and spend it under trees and near water
Nice blog i always like to visiting
dandy of a vid, beautiful snow camp. love the fort. i’d leave that up at my place year round right on the lake.
I thought I recognized that handsome son of a gun in the picture! The tent is pretty Lekker, you could definitely leave it up at your place for sure! It would be perfect for that
Beautiful camping pro❤
Butter burns at a high temperature, use olive oil with butter then it won't burn 😋
Good to know! that's kind of why I didnt want to cook in the tent, I was worried about a bunch of smoke
Good job, thanks so much plz.
Habib Gadoon, KPK, Pakistan.
What a beautiful outing. And, as my Nieces said, he didn't run into any drunk campers this time..I thought you'd get a laugh from that one. They keep up with all of the videos I watch. I'm glad you had a good time. That was some cold weather my friend..
Hahah that is funny! It's true, it's funny how that happens, don't see too many of those types when its -20 outside lol! Cheers Peter!
Çok başarılı olmuş...
This tent is MASSIVE!! dude 👏👏🤙🤙
Almost like you could put down the awning for extra protection at night
Yeah you definitely could Jason! I will ave to think of that next time
Nice set up
good god you cant tell that is well maid from the sound the tent makes putting it together. 😁😁😎
Yeah this is my first tent like this and the quality is unbelievable, only tent I'll ever need for this type of camping
I really enjoyed this one! The editing and camera angles were superb. WTF did you call those hot dogs??? Thanks for the humor-- it showed your "real" side. Stay safe.
haha thanks mate! You never heard the term Glizzy before?? Don't worry I hadn't until I ate hot dogs in another video before and I got a bunch of comments about me "gobbling glizzies"
With such a nice spacious new tent I feel like you need the big buddy heater, man. The one you have is good, but you'll heat the space much faster and more efficiently with the step up of what you've got!
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Any time Darren! Cheers mate!
I have the similar tent in the Kodiac 10 x14 version. I absolutely love it after I installed the stove Jack and wood stove. I only use the 8” lag screws as well
Love this video love the snow, the tent was amazing. Love to know what you have in store for us on your next video.
Coming soon! Thank you for all your support! It means a lot
Its a tent teen advertisement 👀👀👀
… follow on comment …yeah… i am in love with that tent too. I got to get that model… with the wood stove conversion kit. I watched this video a second time because i liked it so much! 😂 … particularly the awning snow management! 😊
Very cool! I have the elbows now so I'm going to do the conversion video next week and spend another couple days in it
I enjoying ur amazing video...and iloveit ...gogo for more.
29:56 When I lived in VT they called that sound "making ice." It's eerie.
It's very eerie! Sounds like the titanic was sinking out there or something!
Now that’s a great tent, can’t wait to see you convert it to a hot tent with your stove… great outing
Thanks Jim!! Looking forward to getting the wood stove in there for sure!
Fantastic video. Just like my childhood.(far northern Wisconsin & the U.P.)
Now that's a tent..could put so much in side.love it.great camping video
Definitely! I'm looking forward to taking it out with the wife and dogs soon Melvin
Lovin the tent Rob all the comforts of home.
It's great!! A perfect tent for a couple of people to spend a week or more in!
One more thing that needs its own comment: ICE IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY! You are ALONE. You need a pair of self rescue picks. Like a short ice pick to gouge into the ice to pull yourself out. NEED to be READY to USE NOW if you go thru! NOT a joke! I went thru in 15' of water while ice fishing, and would not be here if I had been alone! I have NEVER gone out on ANY frozen pond or lake since. Nor WILL I !! EVER!! We were a LONG way from home, and a car heater just DONT cut it!! Jerry
That big canvas tent brings back fond memories. Heck of a base camp setup Rob. Up to you, but Mr. Buddy sells a filter if you are going to use a hose to supply that heater with fuel.
Enjoyed the video. 👍👍
Hey there Comfy Camper!!! This was an awesome video!!! Thanks for bringing us along bud! PS Awesome new logo!!
Another great one!! Thanks for a relaxing video.
Nice shelter but I don’t like that awning design! It’s a rain and snow catcher .
I like it for sitting out under but I definitely think I need to play around with it a little more to find a way to let the water and snow run off, it's be interesting to test it in the rain
( Leave your comment in English )
Such a beautiful adventure video & I love it tbh
I can see the similar material/design with the Kodiak Canvas Flexbow.
Camping with Class now
3 days to 3 weeks
:)
Exactly bud!! I'd love to take this thing out and just stay for like a week and use it as a base for overnight back country trips
Have you ever heard of the 3sec. One man tent ⛺ by reactive outdoors it's the 💥
Hey Rob - "How's it going?" Is this your new back packing tent? Glad you had your truck nearby to move the tent for you. I have to admit, it is a nice tent and has plenty of room in it. Does it come with ability to add a second bedroom? Bush Crafting Deluxe! Enjoyed the video. Nice to have the creature comforts once in a while. Have a great day. Regards, Randy in Arizona
Haha thanks Randy!!! I think if you had two of them you could use the same poles to hold up both awnings and essentially connect two tents together to make a mega deluxe shelter lol!
I really love that tent!
Me too! Looking forward to some more adventures in it
Great 🎥 you're so graceful on ice 😉😂 reminds me of traveling on foot in Alaska in USAF. During whiteout we hooked up with ropes going from buildi ngs. Beat Wishes 🍺☃️❄️🌬️🇺🇸
Sounds great Stephen! I would love to visit Alaska one day! This would be a great tent to do that in I imagine!!
Very nice tent from the looks of it. Looking forward to the video on hot tent conversations! Cheers
Thanks Jim!! Typical, I got home to an email sayin the parts I need are back in stock so I ordered a couple!
I have the Cabela's cot xl too rated for 400 lbs. Pain in the ass to put together but great for man & 🐕 dog.
I'm from Glasgow Scotland and even though I don't glamp camp like a Brit, I use it under a Teton XL tent & a tarpaulin in British Columbia Canada on the 50th parallel
That tent is everything! You could probably set up in there for weeks (or months even). If one must be out in the winter elements, why not do it like *Brooks & Birches* does it?
It really is everything! :)
Haha thank you!! It's a great way to be able to get out in the winter and be relatively comfortable if you aren't comfortable going deep into the backcountry in the colder months!!
What a great Rob camp, it looks like you're going to stay to live in the forest. LOL. I really like that type of store, although what horrifies me is having to pick it up. A good video friend, with a new and great material, of which I am happy. A warm hug
I probably could stay and live in the forest in that tent if I wanted too! It's big enough for me to do that!!
Wow, 10 x 14? I think the bedroom in our old house was that big! Maybe!!! LOL. Awesome tent!
Haha I think the bedroom in my house isn't much bigger right now to be honest! probably about the same size if I'm honest
