    I used to love camping alone (before children) and just drink in the mountains... build a fire, cook, hike, read a book... especially in fall when the elk are bugling... LOVE this!! So relaxing to watch. I have 4 teenagers now, plus dogs and guinea pigs, living in the city with neighbors and chaos.... and sometimes I dream of even just going to jail for the night so I can have some peace for longer than 4 hours. I got to live vicariously through you for a while and relax watching this, thank you.

    Just food for thought but I was taught years ago to always park in a way that puts me at an advantage if I needed to leave in a hurry. Strategic parking may seem like a small thing to most but I’ve actually been in situations where had I not parked that way, I’d have had issues. Even in icy situations it makes it nice to be pointed in the right direction in the event you need to leave quick. Just something to think about. Love your content! Keep it up!

    • @themechaniacal1558
      @themechaniacal1558 2 роки тому +12

      Interesting story about strategic parking. Clyde Barrow, of Bonnie and Clyde infamy, had a habit of parking his vehicle in such a manner so as to facilitate an easier getaway should authorities catch wind of the location of Bonnie and him. But on 19 July of 1933 a person noticed a vehicle strangely parked, it had been backed in at the motor court room Bonnie and Clyde had rented. The vast majority of people simply pull forward into the space, not back in. Cops were alerted, a shootout ensued, and Clyde's brother Buck was shot in the head during their escape. Buck died in a hospital a few days later....

  • @rkendsley7561

    Regarding the stove: Two hooked tent stakes will hold the legs in place. Stoves are hot, so take out your trusty multitool pliers and grab the metal rings or metal points on the stove to adjust, not your fingers. Regarding the tent/teepee: If it had an interior wall/sheet (lining) that would drop from about 1/3 to 2 meters the height up the side wall to the ground, this would make it much better for heat retention (Like the Native Americans would use on their teepees).

    My late grandpa had one of those huge tents given out during the depression era. He and my grandma lived in it during the depression. He used railroad spikes to tie it to the ground and kept it waterproofed. When I was a kid we'd go camping on the New River at Thurmond and stay a week at a time. Nice spring of water coming off the mountain into a rock pool. Burnt wood and coal to heat and prepare food as West Virginia gets cold in those hills.

    Back in the 80s I was in a cold-weather battalion in the Marine Corps. We’d deployed to Norway and that’s what we spent our entire time preparing for when we were not in Norway, training to operate in Norway. Anyways, that stove we called it the “Yukon” stove. We also were able to hook up a fuel line to the stove which we seldom used. If we were in a 10 man tent and at a base camp we would hook up a liquid fuel line. But most of the time we used wood. I certainly enjoyed that video. It brought back memories seeing the Yukon stove.

    Hi Luke, in response to your question about anyone owning a Kifaru tipi I do have a Kifaru 6-man tipi which is about the same size as your tipi. I've had it since 2008 and have used it mostly in the winter in temps that have been down to -45 C in Northern Ontario. I've also used it for summer outings as it has bug mesh doors that can be attached to it.I've got the Kifaru large box style stove to heat it and have the liner in the tipi which helps to keep it warm and dryer inside. The quality of the Kifaru tipi is exceptional, high quality materials and workmanship is top notch. The design allows for a pitch that is very sturdy in obscene winds and snow/rain. The only downside is price but you get what you pay for. Take care and thanks for the great videos! Here is a video of some winter camping I did using the 6-man Kifaru tipi: ua-cam.com/video/dOPqjJlXzAU/v-deo.html

      LOL, No Click Bait ? " Attacked by Violent Storms in a Hot Tent " Like the storms violently attacked him ! More like he set up in the path of in coming storms ! Or did Storms in a Hot tent Violently attack him ? The last two thirds of the title, would have been the correct none Click Bait !

    Great video! NC mountains have a lovely climate and your camping videos show that well. I love having 4 real seasons, with real winters. Having lived in MA, NY, NJ, CA, and TX, I just moved to a house on a remote Maine lake and I'm looking forward to experiencing the unadulterated ME winter! Lots of snow, to be sure. Oh, thanks for the tip on chain saw. I have a lot of deadfall to clear around this house and the DeWalt looks like it would be a huge help.

    I live in the area the tornado went through and the surprising thing is when it came to the area I live at it split and went around we got really strong winds and had part of a tree blown down from my neighbors yard and we got a lot of rain so we have been pretty blessed by missing out on the last couple of storms.

    Great experience. I have a HELSPORT Lavvu tent, 6 to 8 person for me alone and I love it. No problems in storm if you use good tent stacks, these tent types have been used by mankind for thousands of years, the most storm resistant construction there is. Only downside might be, there is no window, so you are stuck inside in a storm without seeing nothing. But then again the style of tents that have windows are far less storm resistent as the lavvu style. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Cheers. 👍

    I started hot tenting last year. I was amazed by how much of a difference adding a fan made. I know that heat rises, but I didn't think that I would be able to tell the difference from raising my hand in such a small tent. I highly suggest getting a fan. Get a stove fan or a battery operated fan that you can hang from the top of the tent.

    I don't like camping but I love listening to the rain. You made camping look like it's fun and I'd say you definitely have all the right tools for it! I like that wood burning heater you have and I was looking at Amazon for it and I found a similar or maybe it's the same one; it was pricey! Nevertheless, I'm looking for a heating source that doesn't use electricity and that would be perfect for my needs! I also ordered that same stove and the cannister it attaches to. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure!

    Hey Luke, great video! I was actually out in my Pomoly Hex Plus tent during the same storm here in Eastern PA. You should try one of Polmoly's stoves if you don't like the One Tigress. I have the T Brick ultra which holds a ton of wood. Some things that may have helped you, instead of staking the tent with the cords, use the tent loop directly so that you don't have any gaps around the bottom, and also weigh down the snow flaps with logs or rocks for extra protection and insulation. Last thing I do is I hang a small rechargeable fan pointing down to circulate the hot air back down to the floor. You will feel a big difference doing that. I love my hot tent and stove, and thanks for the video!

I've been through the horrible tent pegs as well and soon afterwards bought good sturdy pegs. Thanks for the excellent info and tips and a wonderful enjoying show. I am still using a multi fuel, but mostly propane Coleman stove for cooking. I have never camped in cold weather so never needed a wood stove but do have a propane heater for damp mornings.
