Lonnie-Always good to hear from you and Connie. You should do the occasional short video just to let your friends know you're okay. Doesn't matter what the topic is. We just love hearing from you. Stay safe!
The quality of your comments speaks volumes, brother. I've never seen so many full complete sentences without shorthand or emojis. I enjoy all your content, while most others I run at 2x speed.
We absolutely love your videos. Your real people. Common! Every day couple that have been together for a long time. Your skills of the outdoors is extensive. Many other UA-camrs look to you as inspiration. Awesome
Thanks Lonnie! Always look forward to your videos! Between you and Connie's creativity, I never walk away from an episode of yours empty handed! Great tools for thought, always. Thanks again my friend. Looking forward to the next. Cheers
Thanks Lonnie, I love watching your addictive videos after a long day at work, relaxing sipping a beer. You and the good wife are a amazing fun and so interesting.
I envy your cold weather. It's great to hear you using used materials like the foam matting to keep costs down. Too many videos encourage you to spend lots of cash. Thanks for your time 👍
I bought that same tent Lonnie except in green. It showed up today so excellent timing on this video. I don't know that I will set mine up till spring but you've given me a lot to think about. I did flesh and stretch / dry my caribou hide this fall and am thinking it will make a nice rug for the floor of my tent. Its amazing how light a caribou skin is when dried. The caribou herders in northern Russia make there tent, floors and bedding out of the reindeer skins and they live in extreme climates as you know. Enjoyed this a lot and learned a lot as well. Good to see you making video again.
I think you are going to really enjoy that tent. I know I sure like mine. I once had a moose hide that I dried and used. That thing was bulky, awkward and heavy. Your caribou hide sounds much better.
It's now July 2, 2023, at one point not too long ago I ask how you was doing and you said you where laying off of doing videos, I just wanted to check up on you and say "hi" and wish you all well! 😁🤗 (That's what happens when you get OLD! Ask me how I know) PS: tell your good looking granddaughter I HI!😉
Thankyou for making this UA-cam Sir, it helps those of us with less experience and I for one appreciate it. Hope your out enjoying yourself at a camp somewhere. Cheers from Australia. 👍
Thank you, Lonnie. I live in northern lower Michigan, surrounded by Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Charlevoix. What we get is 1) lake effect snow, and 2) a lot of wind. For us, I think the second skin is a must as well as a foam floor and larger stove. We cannot escape wind where I live, particularly in winter. I love you and Connie's channel and truly appreciate your time, expertise, and Connie's recipes. God bless you both. Stay safe and warm.
Your knowledge and experience of living this life style really shows Lonnie,a unch of riant tips are always welcome, especially if it makes u more comfortable. U and Connie have a great holidays
Hello my friend. I don't do much camping at all, especially in snow, in Louisiana the snow is stretched out about every 10 years. This is a great informative video, not much good for me but I enjoy seeing great people make good videos. Thanks my friend and many prayers for you and your family.
I really appreciate the point about the tree bows. Too many of us out there to be using natural materials these days. I spend my time on public lands around Ontario and Quebec, campsites are getting worse each year
I use a clip on rechargeable fan from Amazon. Didn’t cost a lot. Clip it at head height on you pole pointing downward to push the hot air back down. Makes a lot of difference. 🤙
What a huge tent Lonnie😮, great with the reflecting coating at the inside, like the insulated floor as alternative to spruce which I also like because of the smell, thanks for sharing your opinion and experience with it, with you both only the best in 2022, kind regards, Taro
Glad I stayed up and got to catch your video. We don’t have your extreme cold but I’ve always hung a tarp over the tent and dropped the edges down at night. Makes an extra wind block and creates a dead air space. I do like those little stoves but the prices make me cringe. Glad you’re doing well. Have a blessed evening
Hey Lonnie. I had a 10'x10' custom canvas tent made for a collapsible gazebo frame, so it can be set up and taken down in a few minutes. The ceiling is around 7' high. The whole frame is only 8"x8"x4' when collapsed. I had a weatherproof skirt (heavy duty tarp) sewn on the outside and inside. Then I place a sheet of that on the floor over top of the skirt and a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet on top of that. It not only keeps out the cold/wind, but also keeps out the bugs and mice. I also have HD mesh windows on all sides with a VELCRO boarder and a canvas flap on each sides with ties. That way you can position the flaps where you want to regulate the air flow/intake. I use telescopic curtain rods going both ways to hang my clothes and towels on. There's plenty of room to walk around in and the walls are high enough and at a steep enough angle to allow for maximum room. It's an awesome setup. I think you'd be much happier with a similar tent. There's no frost buildup on the walls no matter how cold it gets. Because it's canvas, I don't have to worry about embers melting/burning holes in it like your synthetic tent. I could send you pics if you want.
I have had my own custom made canvas wall tent made for me by a commercial company in Anchorage Alaska. I have also had many many many other tents and still own most of them. So I am not new to various tents and tent designs. Although your setup does sound pretty awesome for you, I'm happy with what I have. I particularly enjoy the relatively light weight and small transport/storage size of these tipis. I also prefer the synthetic fabrics in a tent overall. I prefer them due to mold/mildew potential for canvas. Canvas is HEAVY, bulky and prone to water damage. It works great for some folks but I personally do not prefer it. My conclusion is based on my experiences of having owned and used it. If it works well for you and you are happy with it, that is all that counts. Stick with what works for you.
Mr. Lonnie and Ms. Connie you have once again saved me a lot of money and time. I was just before buying a plane ticket to Alaska and rounding up a search party to check on you two. Anyway love your videos, lets see some more of Ms. Connie's cooking. It is for some reason satisfying to watch you guys camp and see what Ms. Connie is whipping up for breakfast.
I lived in a tent my first year in Alaska. I lived in a canvas tent called a pyramid tepee patterned off of the range tent. I made my own wood stove out of a 5 gal kerosene can and that stoved heated that tent really well even at -40 F. I used a tarp on the floor with the heavy packing blankets and that worked out pretty well. You can also use a heat fan on your stove to circulate the hot air more rather than just having the hot air rise. You could also use the packing blankets on the walls rigged up like tepee liners. Love winter camping and did it a lot in Alaska.
I like your packing blankets floor insulation idea. Where does one get packing blankets? I also like pyramid/range/miner tents. I made one out of poly tarps and it is my favorite of all the homemade tents that i have made. It has a lot more interior room than a round tipi with the same foot print size. A 10 X 10 pyramid tent will have a lot more room inside than a 10x10 round tipi.
Glad to see you again Sir. Thanks for another great informative Video. I personally like the ones you make from scratch. That includes your Home made stoves. May you and your family enjoy our Lords Birthday and good fortune in the new year. Take care.
Hi Lonnie I really like your videos very informative. I live in Arizona so not everything is relevant to me but most of it is. Thank you for the time you spend on the videos.
Having a sealed pipe to bring fresh air to the stove from outside would be the best. I did it in my house to bring air to my pellet stove so that I was able to seal windows and doors without suffucate the stove (and myself). Maybe it will come with the next generation of hot tents :)
I do not recommend piping outside air directly to tent stoves. tent stoves should use their air from the tent interior so that the slight negative pressure thus created will "suck" in fresh outside air to replace it. Too many things can happen which may leave smoke inside the tent and thus Carbon Monoxide (CO). Without the stove automatically refreshing the interior air, there is a greater chance of CO buildup and thus a potentially deadly situation may be allowed to develop. It is a bit different situation in a house since the house is not likely to move around and the stove is likely to not shift or fall down as snow melts under the legs etc. A house stove is typically much larger and heavier and thus is not as likely to get bumped and knock the stove pipe loose.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival you're right, the house pellet stoves are hermetically sealed and specifically designed for use with external air supply. I forgot to say that I use a CO sensor alarm for extra safety. They are battery operated and weight only few ounces so they can be used in any place.
Always appreciate your videos Lonnie (and Connie)... I put some tabs around the inside of my teepee and attach a canvas painters cloth as a second skin on the interior. It's breathable, adds an air gap, and this worked out well... Appropriate spacing from any heat sources of course. Because I'm in a high wind area, the interior liner helps me avoid having to secure it from the exterior winds, and it seems to help with interior condensate.
The wisdom of your experiences makes perfect sense. Keep your videos coming.
Lota Of Great Times Going To Be Spent There, Lonnie Thanks Hi Connie ! ATB T God Bless
Lonnie-Always good to hear from you and Connie. You should do the occasional short video just to let your friends know you're okay. Doesn't matter what the topic is. We just love hearing from you. Stay safe!
Yes I Agree 100%

Sir I could listen to you speak all day and night
You give _the_ most thoughtful, honest, and common sense reviews of anyone on youtube, Lonnie.
👍👍. Another tip to keeping it warm is to have Connie cook up some of awesome dinners. Peace

I like your caribou hide idea. On one of our future caribou hunts, I too need to save one of my hides for a tent floor rug.
Buffalo hide for a floor where the bedding goies cheyenne and Lakota.
Used. Buffalo .floor rugs .
Wow a caribou hide would be so luxurious!!
Another Outstanding video as always Brother !! Peace 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌

Good to see you back we missed you guys! Thanks for the good tips.
Excited for another informative awesome video!
I just bought this tent and plan on taking it out in 2 weeks. Thanks for the tips.
You have given a lot if great information to help improve the temperature rating. Thank you.
Great tips Lonnie.
