1 more comment. Yes trial and error. I burned a lavvu down because of the insulating carbon fiber wrapped around the stove pipe. I’m a beginner and I thought heck just use the carbon fiber for a stove pipe jack. Huh uh. DONT!
So glad you mentioned Never hanging tent from top loop, I have seen bushcrafters making a tripod of limbs then do exactly this. Madness. Thanks for this concise safety video. There was a need for someone to do a hot tent safety guide, glad it is you doing it.
I like many of your videos, but the timing on this one is perfect as I am going hot tenting next weekend for the first time. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for talking me out of my immediate desire to put finer mesh on the spark arrester, as a CA native I’m always very nervous about traveling embers.
This was a ton of great information. It's definitely worth going back and rewatching to take notes, to keep at all times while hot tenting. This series has been very helpful and was very appreciated, thank you! Stay safe out there and God bless!
I haven't gone hot tent camping yet. In Washington state I did camp during a week long rain with tarps placed in several area's. We had a small Woodburn in stove fired up but obviously you had to be right next to it to dry and warm up. I am older now and had a lot of broken bones but still like camping and think it's time to use a hot tent method for comfort. Keep the videos coming.
thank you for another great video. I flipped my stove pipe to the other end on my second burn so both ends have a strong temper to take the correct shape when I unroll it. I also direct a stove fan to blow on the pipe to 1. cool the pipe, which 2. extracts more heat to go into the tent. 3. increases dry air circulation to even the heat and dry things in the tent.
@the1stime I bought a kindergarten and a mefine wood stove fab off of Amazon but they are not available now. I wish they made one with a cowling around the blades to protect them when transporting it or pack it in the original packing box.
The spark arrester tip is so valuable, I actually had some Stainless steel mesh from work that I was going to put into a spark arrester when I purchase one, hopefully in the next couple of months. Thank you.
I've got a lot of the same gear, but none of the practical, Hands-On Experience like you do, so I have found myself Binge Watching your videos. And as soon as I saw the Safety here, I watched it twice. Many of what you talked about in this video kept me from making some grave errors. So I thank you for that. And the Spark Arrestor was something I didn't even know existed, until I watched this video. Sparks coming out of the pipe was something that has been worrying me for months as I have been gathering my gear. I'm someone that worries about the supplied Electricity & Heat sources staying on as well as the Economy remaining viable. So I like staying Self Reliant in case things go all the heck. And having a good, functioning mobile shelter means everything now. Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them.
Very helpful video iv bought a tent with stove jack to get a stove in the near future and this information is invaluable to me, thank you. Il be learning from yourself and others from my sofa long before I even think of firing a stove up in my tent.
Great video packed full of information. I am starting to get into hot tenting at the age of 63, and I found this very interesting, especially about the spark arrestor! I actually thought I would need to do that to my spark arrestor. But with your explanation and advice, I see now not to touch it. Your talk about the stove jack and what not to do, found that information very helpful and helps with my understanding of it. I already have a tent stove and just ordered a hot tent, an MCETO (I know probably not the best tent) to get started. The hot tent I ordered does have the skirts and I like how you explained how those should be used. Again, great information and I know this is a 3-year-old video, but well worth the watch for someone who is thinking about getting into hot tenting.
Agree w all of it and thank you! Will add though that the Winnerwell stove jack that are made of a heat resistant silicone boot that goes around the double wall section of pipe and actually creates more of a barrier from pipe to fabric…have one installed on my Bereg UP-2 and works great!
Your honest reviews are golden! Thank you. I plan on living mostly in the back country here in Colorado & your opinion really does matter. Of course i don't rely on your opinion alone but i do trust your thoughts & opinion.
Hello, my brother from north of the Canadian border!!! Excellent informative briefing on the use and misuse of tent stoves and the tents they heat. I was in a very cold deer camp in east Texas in (I believe) 1966 or 67, and, in my preadolescent mind, I visualized a small stove to heat it. Mind you, this was a large 8 person heavy canvas tent ... and we slept (sat and ate) on old military cots (very pleasant memories)!!! Even in the cold (I properly layered my clothes), I had a great time. It is very gratifying that this vision became reality. Thank you so much for the series and more especially, thank you for such an in-depth safety review!!! This was truly professionally done. Please keep the videos coming!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good!!! Take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas, USA. 🤠🐩🖖✝️👍
Been following you now for half a year. Youre videos are very useful and have helped me complete my first wild camp. You explain things very well and thanks for this valuable advice regarding hot tents... which I am soon to purchase.
Thankyou so much for the this - your piece about the centre pole has just solidified our decision to go with the Hercules for winter camping with our big long haired GSD. We were already concerned about his big butt dislodging the centre pole by accident when he fidgets overnight, but the comments about it getting hot has finalised my choice to go for a dome tent, to keep him safe. Thankyou so much!
Lots of good points. I guess I have been worrying to much about asphyxiation. I love building my own gear. One of my safety tips is to try your equipment out at home if you can. I spend more time camping 60 feet from my warm dry safe cozy house than anywhere else. If something I built or bought is not working for me, I just go home and figure it out in the light of the next day. Happy Trails Lonewolf.
Found you recently love your video's I'm getting ready to start camping at 54 so thanks for such great information I'm looking forward to my upcoming adventures but learning all I can first 👍👍👍
This was a great series. Very informative. I’ve been hot tenting for a few years and still learned some things. Having never done it, the bit on guying out the spark arrestor, was good info. Keep up the great content!
Nothing better than warming up my Hammock Hot Tent, with a fresh burn in the woodstove, before - I get out of my sleeping bag in the morning. At -17c, I keep a carbon monoxide detector hanging by my head and a fire in the box all night long. Cheers from Canada!
Great video on the various safety aspects of using a stove in a tent. The hot tent wood stove I use has a baffle and I find that to be the most effective spark arrestor. If using a mesh style spark arrestor, the best place to put it is very close to the stove body so that creosote has no chance to clog it. I also feel the best way to prevent creosote build up to begin with is to burn your stove at a hot enough temperature that it doesn't form. I always recommend a stovepipe thermometer for this purpose. Also if one is use a stove pipe with fixed length segments (nesting or otherwise) it is best to orient the pipe so that the crimped end faces down (towards the ground). This will keep any creosote on the inside of your pipe. Lastly to keep your stove pipe relatively clean, once a day build a roaring inferno of a fire. This will clear off any creosote on the inside of your stove pipe. Happy hot tenting this winter season.
Thanks so much for doing this video! I kept looking for info about how high the stove pipe should be above the tent, other safety info and couldn't find much of anything. I'm finally able to get out and camp more and am very interested in doing some winter camping. Thanks for the great info to help us all have safe, enjoyable camping experiences!
Man, thank you for your time in making this video! Hot tenting and the whole solo camping is something I've slowly started getting into trying to get the complete awesome experience of the outdoors. This video has answered all the worries I had about running a stove in small tent!
I have two purchased hot tents: Smokey Hut and Preself w/half mesh. I haven’t decided what folding stove. Questions: 1. ..too hot for a carbon fiber center pole? ..or using a collapsible carbon fiber fishing rod (tip sections not extended)? 2. ..have you ever used a cot? ..did the cot float, or sink in the snow? 3. ..if you damp it down, can you get the heat adjusted to a comfortable level, ..rather than too hot.
Cots work great after you either pack in the snow or add spruce bows to create a floor, carbon fiber pole is not recommended for a very hot wood stove, and yes the temperature is controllable
arctic oven tents have a seal around the stove jack hole , I haven't had one issue using my arctic oven igloo and wood stove in 5 years of using it in the Alaska wilderness.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping oh I get it, I was just saying there are some respectable tent manufacturers who use a seal, Arctic Oven being one of them. Have you used one of their tents? Not for back packing, big heavy but well designed for -0F to -30F use.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping for sure you definitely did. Like I mentioned on Facebook I'm doing my first hot tent trip tomorrow and it was more then helpful. Not many videos like that out there for hot tent adventures so it's much appreciated.
im completely new to camping and I find your videos very helpful. you explain things really well and easy to understand and remember. I hope to learn more things from you. wish you more subscribers and viewers.
I've been enjoying a lot of your videos on the Hot Tents. I've been camping for years. As I get older, I'm not as comfortable in the cold as I once was. I've been thinking about some kind of heat source for the tent just to make those exceptionally cold trips enjoyable again. But recently there is another motivation. My boys are into Boy Scouts and I've become one of the asst scoutmasters. One rule the BSA has is that we need to have a means of warming when cold camping. Typically this means a cabin or access to a motor vehicle. It would be nice to have a shelter that can be heated. I'm not sure I like the idea of the open floor. In many areas just a campfire can turn the ground into a mud pit as it begins to thaw. Don't want that in a tent. There is also the swing of weather where you can have a 50 degree day and 20 at night ( 10 to -5 C) where bugs might find the shelter when it's warmer and then love the heat later. How does that all work? Just looking for some answers and suggestions on a comfortable setup for a couple adults generally, but being able to fit 3-4 kids who need the warmth for various reasons. Thanks.
Lone wolf... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, I am new to '' hot tenting '' But you have taught me a few things... Thank you so much 👍
Excellent video! I would also add to learn how to use your stove in your own backyard before you take it out camping. Like my dad always said, the time to learn how to change a tire is not on the side of the road. Do it in the driveway first.
Hmm built my own wood burning stove, going to give it a trial run next weekend in the tent. Thanks for the tips most I knew but like the guidelines on the spark arrestor, that's all I didn't cover. 👍👍
Glad I watched this, I home brewed a spark arrestor. All it is is a small flour sifter. Thought bits be great. But ok makes sense mesh is to small and is gonna become clogged. I better drill some holes
Make sure to keep a close eye on the grate of the sifter. Like LW said, the holes on the arrestor should be specifically shaped and sized, so the sifter will work to catch, but make sure it's not getting clogged or gummed with carbon because its not gonna warn ya when that soot just goes up in flames. Keep it clean and shiny as much as you can! 👍🏕️
@@gummywormjim I think leave the bottom of the sifter as is. And drill a few larger holes in side of sifter. And of course make sure sifter fits right. Cause right now not just slides all the way down on stove pipe. Gotta fashion it to stay raised. I really am glad I saw this. Cause I problem would have learned another hard lesson
Very clear explanation, thank you!! One question comes to mind: how safe would a Onetigris roc shield be with a stove? This in regard to the 12 inch clearance around the stove...
1 more comment. Yes trial and error. I burned a lavvu down because of the insulating carbon fiber wrapped around the stove pipe. I’m a beginner and I thought heck just use the carbon fiber for a stove pipe jack. Huh uh. DONT!
Veru glad you are safe. It is dangerous to do so. Thank you for sharing this information.
RIP your poor lavvu 😭
@@mysterylovescompany2657 I got a new one. Needed a size 3 anyway
Everyone who gets a hot tent and stove should watch your videos
I have truly learned so much from this video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I'm very happy it was helpful
This is by far the most informative video on the subject of hot tenting. You have a great talent for this!
Thanks for enjoying

Excellent video about time someone pointed out the dangers to watch out for when hot tenting many thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you, and I agree. All fun till someone gets hurt, I hope this helps
I'm just waiting for my hot tent and stove to be delivered today. Some great information there I wouldn't have thought of. 👍
Thanks, great focused presentation. Your points were very specific and you supported them with logic and experience.
Thank you very much

I got that military wood stove (fairly cheap). Most guys on YT say the spark arrestor stinks and needs improvement...what should i do?
I reccomend 1cm square chicken wire. Works great

Appreciate the tips. I'm on my 4th hot tent camp trip.
I have two purchased hot tents: Smokey Hut and Preself w/half mesh.
I haven’t decided what folding stove.
Questions:
1.
..too hot for a carbon fiber center pole?
..or using a collapsible carbon fiber fishing rod (tip sections not extended)?
2.
..have you ever used a cot?
..did the cot float, or sink in the snow?
3.
..if you damp it down, can you get the heat adjusted to a comfortable level,
..rather than too hot.
Cots work great after you either pack in the snow or add spruce bows to create a floor, carbon fiber pole is not recommended for a very hot wood stove, and yes the temperature is controllable
Yep, I tried a small square of window screen for a spark arrester. It clogs quickly.
Love the rock trick really smart. Love from Portland Oregon.

Welcome to the channel
arctic oven tents have a seal around the stove jack hole , I haven't had one issue using my arctic oven igloo and wood stove in 5 years of using it in the Alaska wilderness.
The material of the seal on those is designed to reduce heat transfer. Also increases the monoxide poisoning factor significantly.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping oh I get it, I was just saying there are some respectable tent manufacturers who use a seal, Arctic Oven being one of them. Have you used one of their tents? Not for back packing, big heavy but well designed for -0F to -30F use.
