UPDATE.............DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM LHG. They are ripping people off. Their supply has been terminated by Luxe Outdoors. Luxe Hiking Gear is NO LONGER a distributor for Luxe Outdoors ua-cam.com/video/9kszDvXQybM/v-deo.html&t
Update....after the filming of this video, I tried multiple time, on both tents, to take them down leaving the cap in place. It did not work 100% of the time. I do not think a hot tent should have a removable cap. In my opinion a hot tent should be a specialized piece of winter gear, designed accordingly. More on this later. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.
Nice review
Your presentation and demeanor are great. The compare & contrast you provide are essential in true evaluation and understanding of the products for this viewer...
Thank you Jeff. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your input. Been looking at both tents for awhile. Always appreciate the knowledge you share
These are both good tents. Can't really go wrong either way. I am glad you enjoy the videos. Thank you for supporting the channel
Knowing, understanding the unique heating, cooling and air circulation effects by the design of tipi tents in general, making tipi tents a 4 season tent Will help you decide your purchase and purpose.
Another great tent review. Un - biased , honest, & easy to follow. Love this channel !
Thank you! Very kind of you to say. Thank you for your support
Thanks Justin another great review. I'm getting very learned on the topic of tents thanks to you and it's very interesting!
Hot tents are awesome!!!
Dude you killed this comparison! Well done and thank you! 👏💯👏
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I'm grateful for your honest reviews of these affordable tents. Were I a bit more wealthy I'd go with a Seek Outside tent just because they get good reviews and they are made in the USA. However, I'm not at all wealthy, so thank you so much for sharing your views on these totally affordable tents.
You are welcome. Seek Outside tents are awesome. But these more affordable options are pretty awesome for what they are. Options are good.
*Another good short concise review. I agree with your assessments..! Keep’em coming..!* 👍🏼
Thank you very much
Awesome video Justin I agree its the doors lol. Love it what an incredible comparison video. Thank you for all that you do
Those doors!!!!!!! As always, thank you for your support of this channel. Much appreciated man
Some great tips my bro . I thank you .I needed this info
You are welcome! I am happy to hear the video proved to be useful to you.
You give the best reviews- factual and direct to the point! Nicely done Justin
Thank you very much David! Kind of you to say. I appreciate that
Another EXCELLENT video Justin ! Thanks for sharing !!!!
Thanks buddy!
Glad I found your video, thanks!
Thank you for watching
Great review. Very detailed. Merry Christmas to you and family.
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Excellent review Justin thanks im definitely getting a Hot tent soon and your information was very helpful Thanks Earl
Thank you Earl! Get yourself a hot tent and enjoy!!!!
This is a great comparison video!!!! We aren’t biting the bullet on a hot tent this year but hopefully next. This info is very helpful!
You need one!!! LOL
Very thorough, thank you. One of the best comparison videos I’ve seen. I saw Lonnie’s video too, he is the man.
Thanks man! Lonnie is the king. As real as it gets.
Great insightful video, I'm looking to get into hot tenting and glad I've got cool dudes like you putting out great review videos of your honest opinion. Thanks
There are some great hot tent options out there these days. Thank you for watching and commenting. Now go get a hot tent and happy Hot tenting!!!!
Wow I enjoyed both your videos on those tents.👍
Much appreciated Senior! Thank you
What an outstanding review of these. Really thorough and well thought out. I think I would lean to the Megahorn for myself, but totally dig your rather impartial style and focus on things that are important. Superb content!
I appreciate the comment! I like to point things out the way I see them to help the viewer decide what would work best for them. glad you enjoy the content. Thanks for watching
This was a really good comparison video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these products.
Thanks man! I appreciate you stopping by.
Great comparison, Justin. You speak from experience and your honesty and non-bias are appreciated. Made my decisions based off your past reviews and, in my opinion, You're spot on!! Haven't had any issues, learnt from your advice and my adventures have been much smoother and comfortable because of it. I'd wager that your honest reviews have saved many ppl from buyers remorse, I know they have for me.
Cheers from Saskatchewan! 🍻
I am glad to hear that you have found the videos to be accurate and helpful. That is rewarding for me. Thank you for the feedback. Thanks for watching David
Really excellent. You impress me with your details man and you know this was good timing for me! Your opinion is valuable in this category.
I think you would be better off with the octopeak. It is a good time to be a hot tenter. There are a lot more options than there were a few years ago.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I'm debating going for a curveball and getting a hammock hot tent. Neither design is perfect but the idea intrigues me a little. I am definitely leaning towards Luxe if I decide on a teepee. I know who to bother with questions when the time comes! 🤣
Very good review well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Thaddeus
Nice review, well thought out to the point.
Thank you David
Excellent job as usual buddy👍
Much appreciated sir! Thank you
Thank you for the comparison video ! helping me in my decision before i pull the trigger on a new shelter for this winter !
You are welcome! I am happy to help. Best of luck to you on your search for your tent. Hot tents are awesome.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Awesome ! Question for you if you don't mind. I've watched your other videos how to make these style of hot tents, for now i don't care much about the bells and whistles . I've winter camped for long enough but never with heat. In your opinion would i be just as warm and comfortable in a home made trap like you made in your videos as i would be in the marketed products ? i just want to be warmer than normal and comfortable being im 6'2 and dont like to crawl lol
@@flyfishingbushwhacker Those DIY tarp tents will keep you as warm as any hot tent out there. They are awesome! And much more rugged than these tents one buys. Real strong. A worthwhile project for anyone that has the ambition to do it.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Awesome well you have made up my mind for now buddy! Already made my stove might as well make the shelter too! thanks for your advice here i really appreciate it !
Great video Justin, very informative as always, both tents are awesome with minor flaws. Hope Pomely and Lux are watching to get points on how to improve these designs in the future
I agree 100%. Both of these are great tents with minor flaws. I would like to see some improvements made from both companies in the future.
great comparison Justin, I was considering a hot tent and this was a very helpful comparison and break down. Interesting about the stove jacks... and the specs being quite a bit different overall. good update too.
Hello Nicole. Hot tenting is good fun. Lots of options out there now.
Great Job, Justin. I’m in the market for a light weight hot tent, so this helps with decisions and what to look for. Thanks & happy holidays.
Thank you Scott! Best of luck on your search for your hot tent
Very good thanks
Thanks man!
I already purchased the Pomoly Manta. So... hopefully that was a good choice. We will see. Great video.
I hear those are nice tents
Good presentation and comparison. The Pomoly Hussar Plus had my vote on weight alone. The stove Jack is of concern but I’ve been known to change what I want on things and they may change that in the future.
The size and weight of this thing is incredible. I am concerned about the jack as well. I suspect we will see a revision of that. I hope.
That was dead on my friend. I agree with your opinions 100%. I am in the market for one. Your video has helped me in making my decision, thanks.
Awesome! What tent did you decide on? Really can't go wrong either way. I am glad you found the video useful. Thanks for letting me know.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods The Haussar, I am 6'1" the extra height and tall doors sold me. I haven't purchased yet but definitely the Haussar.
Great review.
Thank you
Very nice comparison. I too have the Hussar Plus and use it out in remote areas of Alaska. 2 weeks ago I was out in snow and 25-30mph winds. It worked great. I was worried about the stove jack not protecting the flap since my stovepipe was blowing around. I might add a flap like the Megahorn.
As for the cap I like mine as a way to quickly drive out moisture. When I wake up in the morning after letting the fire die, my inner walls are iced up. I rig my cap with one end of the material that I can control from inside, hooking it on the peak webbing. So when I wake up, I fire the stove (LiteOutdoors XL) and open the flap a bit to quickly drive out the moisture so it doesn't rain all over me.
I also do not like the tie down points, however I use cheap carabineer clips with my snow stakes by running the cord into the stake hole and hooking the clip to the cord loop on the backside of the stake. It has worked pretty well.
Hopefully these tips can help. It is nice to have a nice tall tent to hang my wet hunting clothes at the end of the day.
I am glad to hear of your positive results in wind and snow. I see your point on using the cap for the morning cleansing of condensation. I am sure that works well. However, every hot tent I have that does not have a removable cap, has an adjustable air vent(s) at the peak. I open those up and proceed with the same process as you do. Nice stove by the way! Those things look real nice. Big and lightweight. I bet it cranks out some heat. I completely understand that some people would like the removable cap for year round use. It is a personal preference feature for sure. I have learned I much prefer mine specialized for winter use.
Adding loops or carabiners like you did is a fantastic idea. I added loops to a few of the hot tents I have made over the years, I am a bit surprised at myself for not thinking of that technique for the Hussar plus. Thank you for the reminder! LOL
I have quite a few smaller hot tents. The Hussar Plus is by far the largest of my collection. It has made me realize just how nice all that extra space is. Especially on extended trips, that space is nice. I can see where this would be an amazing tent for those hunting trips.
Thanks for watching and the awesome comment. I'm glad to hear you are still pleased with your Hussar Plus. As critical as I was being, I think it to be a fantastic tent. Cheers man!
I would rather have the luxes overall i love all the information
That is a good tent.
Great video! Man I am with you on a lot of the points you make. Sure hope these companies listen 👍 I pitched my Pomoly yarn tent today to test out a new stove.. well the stove pipe is 3.5” and way to big for the Pomoly stove jack.. had to take down the Pomoly and setup the Megahorn 🤦♂️
Kinda makes me wonder who is designing these things. Also makes me wonder why we have not been hearing about some of these short comings from a certain youtuber, instead of "another great design by......"
The Yarn looks like it could be a nice tent, I just can't understand why they went with such small jacks on such large tents. Thanks for watching. I hope you had a great time in your Megahorn!
My Dear Brother that was awesome review, I like the Highth on the Huusar plus, and the Door's, But I also love the Luxe, I love the built in Bug Screen's, but you are exactly right, these are for Winter, They Both have there Streinghts and Weaknesses, I would love anyone of them. You Did a Excellent review, I loved your opinions, think you are Spot on. Thank you Brother Jason. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God Bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 and God Bless all of the Great Veterans and First Responders 🙏 🇺🇸
A fantastic comment! Thank you. Happy Holidays to you and yours
Great review! I have the Luxe Megahorn and the canvas version of the Pomoly Plus tent. I think you made great points about each. Personally I really like the way side guy lines attach on the Pomoly with the two triangles on each corner. I think with two attach points on the seam I get a more taught pitch. I've sewed a few hot tent teepees and I've always used Pomoly's approach to the side guy lines. I agree with you about the tops to each. I think on my next project I'll make something like the Luxe top. I agree it's much easier to attach.
Is it the Hex Plus? That looks like a solid tent. I have had my eye on it for a while now. I agree with you about the location of the guy out point. That also allows for the doors of the Hussar+ to be as versatile as they are.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Yes it is the Hex Plus. It's a great tent! I really like the canvas fabric. It's s a mix of polyester and cotton lighter weight than your typical duck canvas tent.
Very good review.
Thank you
@@ItsGoodintheWoods you are very welcome sir.
Great video and very informative about the different tents. My only question is when are we going camping
We gotta sometime this winter man
I understand what you are saying about the stake out point, however I think that might be a good deal of the weight discrepancy. Maybe not but 2 lbs lighter makes me happy generally LOL. A lot of good and bad points on both though, great walkthrough of both man. If I had a choice which one to buy today. I would probably go with the Hussar personally.
I agree about the weight savings, but I am suspect as to how much weight those can hold under the stress of a snow load. There are going to be a lot of these tents going through their first winter this season. I suspect we will be hearing some complaints about them. I hope I am wrong, and I will be happy to eat my words and admit my suspicions were wrong if that is the case. That said, at this point, I would choose the Hussar + as well. The Megahorn is tried and true. It'll take a pounding. Looking forward to the results this winter brings for the Hussar+
Awesome comparison video. As a owner of the luxe hot tent my biggest crank on it is "those doors" I'm 6 feet tall in case you didn't know and those doors are short! I have used the megahorn in the summer on an island and the bug mesh worked well which my son and I were very happy about. All in all I bet it's a tough decision but you nailed it on all aspects, well done. Anybody with questions on these tents would be well advised to seek your advice. Till next time my friend.....
When I bought the Megahorn the Hussar plus had yet to exist. Same with you. This will be the first winter season for all the H+ ....that is when the real tests start. The Megahorn is tried and true. I am curious how well the H+ will do this winter. Time will tell.! But the space!!!!!!! It is huge, and those doors!!!!
@It's Good in the Woods I think the megahorn shines in that aspect of having the mesh on the doors, and at the cap portion, but missed the mark with the size of the doors.
Good comparison video. I think you and Lonnie should collaborate to design a family of tents. Far North Good Woods Tents. All of the important features that a hot tent needs to be light, strong, warm, and packable, in different sizes.
I second this ^^^^^
I appreciate that, but I'm not worthy. Lonnie is the best.
Thanks Justin. Great presentation and very accurate. I have the luxe and I really like it, but the doors... wow, the height is a huge let down! I'm 5'4" and they're too low. Otherwise it's fantastic. If the other one had the mesh to keep bugs out, that would be the "deal maker" for me:). - thank you, Ami
Yeah, those doors are a let down for sure. Otherwise a very good tent. You can get an inner bug mesh tent for the Hussar +. It is very large and only costs an additional $10!!! Thank you for stopping by.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods thank you! That's good to know
Choices----wow
Cheers Dave!
Good video, although I did have to check the playback speed as it seemed that it was running at 1.5 normal speed! That said, I would definitely choose the Luxe over the Pomoly, and I have a Pomoly stove which is very high quality, but their tent designs need some revisions.
I went back and checked the video. Seems to be playing at the correct speed. That is interesting. I think the Luxe has a bit more quality put into it. They do make some nice stoves. Very high quality. So far the Hussar series are the only two tents I have from pomoly. It is their first steps into the lightweight tent market in my opinion. For their first attempt, I feel they did ok. They are good tents. But they could absolutely be better.
I had my eye on the stove hut 70, but I could tell just by looking at it that it was going to be a leaker, so I held back.....and sure enough.....
I just ordered the Pomoly Chalet. I'll keep you posted on it. Looks like it could be a cool tent.
All that said, I have had 4 Luxe tents , and every single one of them is of fantastic quality.
So, from my experience with the two brands so far in regard to tents, it does seem like Pomoly could put a little more thought and effort into their tents. Just a little more....because these are good tents. But they could be great. Hopefully we see some revisions in the future. I send my suggestions to them.
Thanks for watching and your support
As always, great video. I have the Luxe megahorn and several Pomoly tents. As you pointed out the main drawback of the Luxe is the entry points. Too low, especially when the ground is wet ect. However the Luxe is a tough tent. It's also good in the summer with the inner tent. I personally prefer the Pomoly Yarn, better material, more room and I don't have to crawl into the tent. However, after this winter I plan to find another tent and stove, one of better quality and made in North America.
The Luxe is one tough tent. I have pounded mine. Not a single issue. And I have used and put my minipeak XL through 4 times what I put the Megahorn through! I have 4 Luxe tents and they are all fantastic!
I have my eye on Seek Outside tents. Expensive. I was just talking to a buddy of mine the other day about how I should just sell off my tents and get a Seek Outside. But I love my LUXE tents too much to do that. LOL. I'll get my hands on one or two sometime down the road. I Already have the Seek Outside stove. ........it's just a matter of time.......LOL Thanks for watching man
Welp I have been watching your hot tent videos for months, as well as a ton of others. I almost did the Firehiking thing on Amazon based on Spackmans (hope I spelled it right buddy) review. I fully accepted it was a lesser tent in terms of quality. But I just couldn't get down with a minimum of 6 to 8 stakes as a minimum for setup. For two reasons, my circulation is garbage and my hands always hurt in the cold, and two I am spoiled by the ease of setup with my Durston Drop MidXP1. SO I did it.....I pulled the trigger on the Minipeak XL just now. It was on sale for 137 plus shipping. I feel like it was clearly the better tent quality wise, far superior in layout and setup, and seemed pretty versatile. I would have loved to have it come with a mesh inner vs the winter inner so I could simply roll no inner in the winter and be able to use it during bug season. BUT.....like you said it is a Winter piece of gear, and I have other tents for the trips in the spring and the summer. Super excited, can't wait to get it and head into the woods.
You are going to love that tent. Good call on your end. Luxe inner tents are a tad heavy anyway. In general I consider hot tents winter gear. The beauty of the MPXL is that it is very tarp like in it's capabilities. There are so many different ways to pitch it with that door configuration. Making it a very good all year option. It is one fantastic canoe trip tent. This tent truly is all year capable. When I use the MPXL in bug season I pair it with the six moon designs serenity net. Super light weight. 10 oz! The luxe inner is 3 times heavier. Check out the six moons serenity net. Congrats on your purchase. One fine tent. My favorite solo hot tent I have ever used to date.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods awesome insight. I was actually cruising six moons packs last night because a Facebook ad got me. Still waiting on the tent to ship though :( . Was thinking about the lack of a seam seal on it and it being too cold for seam seal to cure outside right now. Guess I'll be setting it up in the living room tying it off to some firewood or something lol
The thing that lead me to Pomoly is door size primarily . I have all kinds of tents ,every single one you have to crawl into it. I received my pomoly Manta, no inserts yet and that's ok with me it's been raining since I got it but tomorrow it goes up lol
They do have an awesome door design. It's so good. That Manta is a nice looking tent! Happy hot tenting
Just found your channel my friend. Great reviews. I’m going to be purchasing my first hot tent this month. I don’t know what your thoughts on it are but I purchased the One Tigres fortress I believe it’s called. Do you have any information on that? If you could please let me know? Thank you very much keep up the great videos. May you and your family have a great 2022.
I have no experience with OneTigris. I can't speak on behalf of their equipment. A lot of people use them and like them, but like everything else, some people don't. I have my eye on their big hammock hot tent. Lots of room. Thanks for checking out the channel. Much appreciated. A Happy and fruitful new year to you and yours as well
Not familiar with either. Sounds like someone needs to combine the best of both . I’m tall but I still like most of the features you showed on the megahorn. Thanks for the review. Have a good evening
Some of the features on the Megahorn are very well thought out. And that tent has done nothing but serve me well. But those doors...Thanks for stopping by
@@ItsGoodintheWoods yes sir the door/doors need an upgrade. I don’t have your temperature issues in the winter so bug mesh works for me
Pomoly rules!!!
Making some good stuff for the money
Do you thing the hussar plus is a better competitor to the megahorn xl? They seem more closely related...
I would have to take a closer look at the specs of the MegaXL. I think that is a much bigger tent.
Are those stove jacks safe to use alone or do i need a triple wall stove pipe? I have the megahorn and a new winnerwell medium......I'm totally new to this.
They are safe to use as is. They work great
The smaller one would be perfect.
The is the Luxe Megahorn, and it is a fantastic tent.
Is that the ultralight version? I’ve wondered what the difference is between the ultralight and the regular?
They are both light weight(ish) options
The cap on the Pomoly looks like a Tee-pee design. I hope you send this vid to both companies so they can see what you do .
The removable cap has its pros and cons. Personally I don't like a removable cap on a hot tent. I much prefer a solid tent with adjustable vents at the top.
I don't send my videos to anyone. I post to youtube and a couple different groups on facebook. That is about the extent of me promoting the channel. I should be a bit more ambitious about it, but it just doesn't feel right. I'm not very good at it LOL
Witch material is stronger against a puncher
Probably the luxe. It is a much thicker material
I'd recommend a steel 8in stake for the Hussar plus in the winter like any other tent & the loops will work out just fine. & A air vent will save your life & need air flow even during winter.
8" steel stakes would work, but, that is not weight I would want to carry around. These are lightweight tents. The point of a light weight tent, is a lack of weight. Hauling 16 8" steel stakes is quite a bit of weight. Many people make their own stakes in the field. Those loops will not accept large wooden stakes. These are not air tight tents. There will be air flow regardless. That vent is too much air flow. No one has ever died in a megahorn (no vent) or any other hot tent for that matter, from lack of air flow. This is a topic I have researched extensively, and I can not find 1 single case of a person dying from (CO) using a wood stove in a tent. Not 1 .
@@ItsGoodintheWoods in the winter you can pull a sled, & wouldn't want to carry a stove either lol then in summer use ground hogs. Also in the winter your not going to be able to drive wooden stakes in frozen ground & ground hogs snap also.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods fyi you need airflow no matter what the tent is your breath is gonna cause confirmation. & Your reaserch vs me living out of my jeep & camping year around for years now. Camped in a hammock for years & still need air flow fyi. Condinsation then you get snow flakes under the tarp.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods camped in 50 below below with winds & live in up north in Michigan snow belt country. So do all your reaserch ya want, but still need some kind of air flow. Even with a Mr buddy kickin'.
@@toddevans4667 Thats cool man. And like I said, I agree about the air flow. No arguments from me. I understand that people and fire need to breath. I get it. Never disputed it.Never claimed otherwise. But that open vent that is not adjustable and on the wrong side of the tent is unnecessary IMO a poor design. . And even though it is there I will block it off entirely and there will still be plenty of air flow. These are not air tight tents. Like I previously stated, I have used many hot tents with no such vent with no issue whatsoever.
And that research I mentioned is in regard to deaths caused by CO poisoning from the use of a wood stove in a tent. There are none. Doesn't much matter where you live, your geographical location doesn't change the results of all the available information on the subject.
I will continue to do all the research I want. And I encourage everyone to do the same. There is no shame in utilizing collective data on any subject.
megahorn has lower doors and i like it because it dont let all warm air out. that 0.5meters gonna be no need for reheating for yours piss trip :D i use megahorn in finland lapland i used in -32C its not nice but duable. srry bad english hope you get idea
I get what you are saying.
I bought a Hussar Plus srecently and it says 70D Plaid Ripstop Polyester but yours is 40D silicone, how come? I am confused man
My tent was from their first production run. Then they pulled it from the market and redesigned it. You have a newer production model
Put some velcro on it then can shut lower vent
That is what I would have done. But I gave the tent away.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods glad mentioned it on video thou as looking at firehiking levee and has one of those vents also
I cant even get the megahorn set up right lol
Keep practicing. You'll get it
@@ItsGoodintheWoods thank you sir!
Me neither!
I'm trying to find an affordable hot tent that is the size I want, it hasn't been easy. I've found a bunch of teepee style that would work, but they're either too small or too big.
I don't want the little two man ones, I want to be able to stand in it and at least fit a cot. The larger one is perfect…if it didn't take up stuck a large ground area. They're like 13+', which is about 1.5-2' too large.
Would it be possible to use a taller center post so the tent is taller and the ground area smaller? Or if there something about the design and construction that would keep me from being able to do that?
You can use a taller center pole, but that will not reduce the size of the footprint. That will stay the same. It can actually make for a larger footprint because you may need to increase the distance of the stake out points to make it work. using a taller center pole height gets you more headroom and space at the cost of no coverage at the base
@@ItsGoodintheWoods The tent stakes moving out aren't an issue. I'm trying to virtualize what you're saying, but it doesn't seem to make sense.
If the pole is a certain height, the sides go out at the angle. If you raise the pole a foot, how can the sides move outward further than before? The sides are still the same length.
If I hike my pants up to my chest, my pant leg is going to move up too.
I don't understand how raising it could do anything but cause the footprint to get smaller.
*For reference, I'm trying to get the tent to fit on a platform that's about 1.2' smaller in circumference than the tents dimensions. Having to move the lines out farther to stabilize it isn't an issue, I can do that, it's just getting the tent itself to sit on it.
I don't think you will have very good luck raising the peak hight to get a smaller base. These tents have very specific geometry to them. If they are not pitched properly there will be issues. Trying to make a smaller diameter will likely cause a lot of slack in the panels.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Right on. These damn tents, they're either entirely too small, or just too big. I'm just trying to find one that I can fit a cot in, and that won't cost me $800.
The hammock style might work, but I'm dubious of it's ability to withstand snow. The Dome type would work, but they're crazy expensive. I might just have to go with a regular tent and a space heater.
@@timwhite5562 What is the maximum diameter you are looking for?
Do you train amateurs how to camp?
Bahahahhaha
With wood stove need air flow unless you have a carbon dioxide detector with you.
I agree, a stove needs air. But, in my opinion, that vent should be adjustable, or not there at all. I have used many hot tents with no vent over the years without issue. That wide open vent is too much air. I don't carry a CO detector. I'm not worried about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from a wood stove.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I still put up vents in my 2 person tent in winter. & Yes a flap over would be nice. If you were really worried about fresh air then duct tape shut on both sides.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I'd be more worried about air underneath tipi & didn't have staked right down to the ground then snow on the skirts. & I don't think any tent has where you can seal the vents up. You just take out little support. But still ya need fresh air weather ya like it or not & getting cold. Sounds like my ex camping. Lol & I even made a whole hot tent with diy stove jack & tent underneath years ago. Your not even bringing up the smoke.
Dude, you know your shizen
Thank you
