One thing to add ... eat before you go to bed! Going to bed hungry will make you feel more cold. And ... in cold weather, use a peebottle for the night so you don't have to leave the tent.
I remember countless nights getting very cold in the middle of the night, -20 below, to warm back up i would just get out of my tent and start shoveling snow as fast as i could to warm back up and always works perfect for me
All my wild camping adventures on my youtube channel are with the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1. I must say, at 60 years old, it is such a wonderful simple tent to set up. In summer or winter it has kept me safe and free from the elements. It is a tent I trust, in adverse weather conditions and so light and small to carry within my backpack! The materials are super thin, yet super strong (I purchased the footprint also)! I may get also the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 as I am trying to encourage my wife to go on some wild camps with me. Thankyou Fjallraven for making my wild camp adventures so enjoyable and safe! Liked and Subscribed
All great tips! Yet one that is the most important for me in order to stay warm is "if you have to pee during the night, don't wait". Even if the thought of getting out of your comfy sleeping bag is uninviting. Your body will waste precious energy to maintain this fluid in your body at core temperature, I always carry a collapsible "pee bottle" so I don't have to get out of my tent, especially in the winter. (I believe there are some devices on the market to help ladies not get out of the tent, one is called the Shewee)
Good gear is so important. I remember when I naively thought I could sleep in a tent using a yoga mat as padding. Boy was I ever cold! #longlifelesswaste
in picking a site, some more things to consider. on top of avoiding ridges due to possible winds, being by the water can be cooler or windier or more buggy, look for rocks and roots on the ground and sloping of the ground before pitching tent and check ABOVE the tent for ANY dead trees or tree branches (this can ruin a night or cause injury or death). Hang food away from tent and do not sleep in clothing you have been cooking in if in bear country. Be mindful of any wind directions, so any smoke from the fire (if you have had one and it is smoldering) does not end up in your tent while you are trying to sleep. Place a pad between your bag and the tent bottom to reduce cold impact from the ground. A inflatable mattress with have. the sea air temperature inside the mattress as the outside air temp, so a yoga mat or other pad will help keep you warm. Same as the concept of using a under quilt when hammock camping.
Great basic outside and inside the tent tips. I would like to add two to major points that I think you missed and are crucial. Look up and out for widowmakers (dead branches) and not pich up your tent in the middle of a trail, human or wildlife and ill think you’ll be on a good start! 👍
The moist just cracked me up🤣🤣🤣 but hey I don't have a second language to speak in. Women whose first language is English avoid the word moist in conversation. Moisture would work better. Nice video by the way...
Moist used to be a desirable attribute. Then, sometime in the aughts, misogyny set in, and anything feminine, like the word moist, became disgusting to people.
Brilliant. So many points well made and a couple of things that I had not thought of before. Certainly some points that I will use when I teach camping skills.
Great video, thanks. I got one question though. I have a Fjällräven Abisko shape 3, fantastic tent, I love it. I use the tent with the original Fjällräven footprint. In the morning, after a good nights sleep, I need to pack the tent in the stuffing sack and there is a lot of moister on the inside of the outer tent, Then I got two problems. First problem: when I take down the tent the inner tent get socked and is almost impossible to dry out when the tent comes back up later in the day if the conditions are wet. second problem: the tent stuffing sack leaking the moister out in my rucksack so everything around it get wet. my own solution is that I unhook the inner tent and put it in the tent stuff sack and stuff the outer tent in a drybag. Do you guys have a better solution? Thank you.

Hi Martin. Thank you for your comment. Calle uses a cloth to wipe the inside of the outer tent before taking the tent down. That way you prevent the moist from ending up inside your bag. I hope this helps / Lucas
The way I got around this with my fjallraven tent was to buy the smallest caribeeners at the Mountain Equipment Co-Op and using these on the 6 ground sheet/outer tent peg points. You can easily detach the inner tent with caribeeners instead of the toggles in these tight, hard to reach spaces and use the toggles following the length of the pole as normal. This easily save 4-5 minutes of fiddling in my experience.
I’m not surprised to hear most people return it for moisture problems. I’ve never ever had a dry night with this awful tent. I made the mistake of giving my cheap tent to my friend and every morning he woke up warm and dry and I woke up freezing cold- totally wet. Even when it hadn’t rained at all. 😒 ventilation is the absolute worst. 1000% I’d rather have my cheap tent over this. Gutted I wasted money on it.
What is the best option to browse and purchase a tent in Canada? I see that you don't have them on the Canadian website... or is that to come ;) Thanks!

Hi, Please have a look with our colleagues in Canada for more information/availability: fjallraven.ca/pages/contact-us
Great video! I have a 3 season down sleeping bag and was wondering what you recommend to wear in the sleeping bag during the warmer months? Would a light merino top and bottoms be too hot?
Pretty much anything is too much inside a 3 season bag when the night temperatures are well over +10 C. Flip it and use it as a blanket instead. You will automatically cover yourself with it as much or as little as needed while you sleep. This way a light merino wool underwear would most likely be perfect.
Like what Gekkibi said, use your bag like a blanket, and keep you'll have a lot more ventilation and air flow to keep you cool. On warm summer nights (I'm in Aus, so keep in mind our summer nights are hot!) I'll just sleep on my mat in a shirt and underwear, with no bag and I stay warm enough. Otherwise I found changing to a quilt made a world of difference for me!
I always sleep naked in my sleeping bag, only using a liner to keep my sleeping bag clean and upgrade the temperature. The less you wear the better. Your niet heats up the sleeping bag, clothes do work as a barrier.
I’ve genuinely been enjoying your videos. So many great tips to go along side your amazing gear. I need to plan a trip soon to get outside. #natureiswaiting
Sofia calling it "moist" instead of "moisture" is pretty adorable.

These tips should be on the the inside of every tent! great advice, Thank you
How much did Sofia laugh during this shooting? lol it looks like she wants to just laugh.. lol
They kept tickling her between shots. True story.
they took swedish fungus and smoked dutch kush
I would also add earplugs and an eye mask. Though if you are asthmatic earplugs may be a pain as you can hear yourself breathing.
Nice video guys. Greetings from a 2016 Polar veteran!

"De båttel!" :D Lovely video! Great tips! Tack! :D
These videos are so great! Maybe a food related episode next with your friends at Primus? :)
Stay tuned ;) / Lucas
p
and move to Sweden ! best place in the world to camp
Some really excellent and informative tips! ⛺
We need an episode on "fika" in the woods!
Brilliant advice. I'm setting up my channel. Not sure which direction to take. Any advice please.
The moist just cracked me up🤣🤣🤣 but hey I don't have a second language to speak in. Women whose first language is English avoid the word moist in conversation. Moisture would work better. Nice video by the way...
Michael McPhee agreed. It is such an irrational aversion - its just a word, and it describes what moisture is succinctly......its moist.
Moist used to be a desirable attribute. Then, sometime in the aughts, misogyny set in, and anything feminine, like the word moist, became disgusting to people.
Thanks for the Tips :) Really useful definitely
Awesome 😎 #longlifelesswaste
Very good tipps. Thanks
I'm wondering where did Calle find that sock for his bottle. It fits so nice, is it custom made or is it like a baby sock?
the amount of Tonehh.. is that shot with F0.95
Brilliant. So many points well made and a couple of things that I had not thought of before. Certainly some points that I will use when I teach camping skills.

Is the moisture building up in the tent primarily from exhalation? Or from condensation from Temp difference? Or both?
Hi! That's a great question, The moisture occurs from the body, the exhalation and from the temperature difference. / Lucas

So nice to see Sofia at your channel again. You both are a pretty nice team. I really enjoyed the video. Now only Johann is missing. 😢
