- Campfires, wood stoves, or wood burning of any kind is not allowed in Yellowstone National Park in the winter time so the camping in this video is done along the boundary of the park.

Stan: Every step you take, I take along with you but from the comfort of my home. I cherish the sound of the crunching snow when it’s that cold. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I look forward to every one.
I am used to watching your videos when the conditions aren't so extreme. I now have even more respect for you and your abilities. I've hiked in the Tetons and Yellowstone in the summer and always wanted to try the winter. My reality is without an expert like yourself or a guide, I wouldn't last the night. You make it look easy but I know better. Guess I'll just keep dreaming through your videos. I love that you capture nature and its beautiful wildlife the way you do. Thanks for sharing Stan.
Edward, I am no expert either. But let me suggest how you can start winter camping. All you have to do is practice in your back yard where it is safe. Keep track of your temperatures and try different (better) cold weather gear. Find out what kind of cold weather you can handle. And then when you go out for real, give yourself a safety margin of say 10 or 15 degrees. For example, if you can camp down to 10F then go only if the forecast is forecasted to get down to 20F. Also, ALWAYS have a plan B! My plan B is the wood stove. So even though I can’t use the wood stove inside the park in the winter, I am not going to freeze to death because of that regulation. If I had to, I will use the stove, that is what I mean by a plan B.
Thanks for the question and then the response is not less than I expected. Great suggestions!
A giant one handed clap 🤚for the guy who shovels snow one handed so we can watch !!!! This was another great video . your life is a spectacular adventure. I’m glad that you share your hikes w us . Thank you !
Stunning country...Truly inspiring. As the son of a trapper (northern Canada) reminds me of all the incredible years I spent in the wild. Now that my youngest is all grown up I plan to venture back into that wild much more often.
Thank you Stan for the amazing videos. All us outdoor lovers appreciate and cheer for you!
Amazing how deafening that silence is. Gorgeous scenery!
That was some beautiful scenery out there. Especially that morning sunrise.
Those Hot Tents are so cool.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and the beauty of Yellowstone,
Thank you so very much for taking us on this hike into famous and amazing Yellowstone Park. It truly takes a special kind of person for this kind of adventure. Not many would dare! I can not see how you can crawl into your sleeping bag and go to sleep all alone up there in your tent; I would die of fright the first hour. I would be sitting in my tent waiting for a grizzly, moose and Bigfoot ...if not one then the other surely would find me. I get afraid sitting at home watching you!
Just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! We have been to Yellowstone many times, but never in the winter. Stay warm!
I like all the scenery you capture. But I think the steam rising from the thermal features into the cold air is my favorite. And the grizzly bears, too, of course!
Stan, just found your site - what a peaceful adventure this was. Thank you for sharing with us all. Subscribing.
Thank you for another beautiful video. Yellowstone, stunning at any time of year!
Wow. Looks like you need a lot more snow pack. Praying to the snow gods.
Love that satisfying "crunch" of walking on snow. Gorgeous!
That old 20 below crunch of the snow.
I really needed to experience this vicariously today. Thank you for sharing. We were supposed to be staying at OF Snow Lodge this week. Maybe next year. Stay well Stan and hope to watch more of your winter Yellowstone hikes.
Wow, you do some traveling; I just looked at your channel. I skipped hiking this weekend because it has been 15 to 20 below. The cold does not motivate me very much. Can’t wait for warm weather. Wish I could travel everywhere like you. Thank you for your comments.
Boy oh boy that was a cold winter camping trip . Very nice views looks pretty nice an warm in your tent though it being so cold . Thank you enjoyed all the winter scenery an sounds ! Great trip good job making through .
Thank you, Stan!
❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
Great video. I believe I saw you in Yellowstone last year. I thought I recognized you and your truck. I live in Driggs Idaho. I split my time between Yellowstone and the Tetons. I’ve gone out a couple times and winter camped and always regretted it. Great video. Loved your tent and stove.
Very enjoyable video. I've gotten too old to do that kind of camping anymore. I've become a warm weather guy. I envy you. Yellowstone in winter is fantastic. Beautiful drawings!
Beautiful hike Stan. Amazing endurance and passion for what you love. It is always my pleasure to watch you videos. Thanks you.
Good job,nice wolves scenes,looked like pups,good job mr.mills ,mike h.
Winter wonderland ❄️ thank you it’s beautiful 😻
Currently it's 57° in Hollywood, FL, the date 2/3/21 (that's funnyI just noticed date).
Anyway, I'm just thinking brrr.
Thank you for your videos. Beautiful. And your artistry exudes an undying love and respect for the Earth's natural beauty.
God Bless you and your family. Anen
It's 69 here in Ca😐
I admire your adventuresome spirit. Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery.
I’m cold just watching!
Happy Feb 1, glad to see you out again and some more winter trips
Hello from Nicole Hikesalot, that was an amazing video Stan. Absolutely quiet and beautiful out there. I loved the views and the hot tent, the campsite and seeing the moose and bison. Those drawings you do are amazing.
Thanks for taking us along! Nice trip.
Beautiful country. Nice video, thank you for sharing. 👍🏻
LOVE Yellowstone thank you for sharing.
Great overnight setup,...
Very sweet set up. All you need. That stove fire must smell good.
Lovely artwork! 🌸💙🐌
Awesome Stan!! You are gritty as hell!! What kind of temps did you get inside the tent with the wood stove?
Great video thanks for sharing I was at Yellowstone this past summer very nice place.
Wonderful video! Yikes - you had some cold temps! How warm was your tent during the night? Your stove looked great! We usually see temps near this but have not gotten that cold yet! Great wildlife shots, so fun to see what the winter is like there! Beautiful country all seasons! Thank you for taking us along with you! Your art work is so very detailed, realistic and beautiful, so much talent!
Excellent thank you for sharing!
Just as gorgeous in the winter! Stan, we are coming out to Yellowstone this summer on a motorcycle trip from Illinois. While some of the group wouldn't be able to complete your types of hikes, I would like to get them off the beaten patch a mile or two to see the beauty without the crowds. Could you suggest some possible trails that I could look at to set this up. Thanks so much and thanks for all your videos and all the work you put into them!
great video 😎👍👍
Beautiful camp! 👍🌲🔥😉🇨🇦
Beautiful! Thanks for another great video.
awesome video!
Your drawings are magnificent.
Awesome vid man, i live in the south of spain so i have to say i miss the snow. Take it easy 🤙🏻
Live long friend thanks for sharing
Nice camp set up.
I love going hiking and camping with you, Stan! Haven't watched this one yet but I know it's going to be superb!!! My personal best temp while winter camping is 2 nights of 8 below in the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky! I wanted to ask you if you ever have used a game camera while camping to see what comes around at night? Thanks again!
Great video. Specialy now
So brave to walk in that think icy snow.
I did see a real snow so i think that is dangerous being there.
Take care and pls be conne ted
I love your videos and style Stan. Thank you for all your effort making them. May I ask you what tent and stove (hot-teepee) you used on this trip?
Wow!!! 20 below!
Stan, Thanks for another fantastic video. You have motivated me to borrow my Dad's snowshoes and try them out. I have a question on your Kenetreck warmer weather boots. How do you keep them dry walking a few hours in wet grass or crossing multiple creeks like I've seen in your other videos? My feet still get wet in my leather hiking boots, even when they are well waxed. I'll buy those Kenetracks if they'll keep my feet dry.
Hello Stan, great vid.
Questions:
1-Do you store the food outside your tent when sleeping? If so, how far away and how high?
2-why no vid of the nighttime stars? Perhaps the camera isn’t capable?
3- When it’s -20 outside, what is the temperature in your tent with the stove going full blast?
Thanks, George
Theres a track winding back .
along the way to yellowstone park yep stan probably has walked it ____🚶♂️__________________🌳🐺________________________🐻__________🐹🌄
Watching the Movie ALPHA stoneage i still havent tried lighting a Fire🔥 with sticks - one these dayzzz
You're a beast were you an athlete when you were younger
Stan,
How warm do you think it is inside your tent with the stove? We’re big backpackers and wish they made one of those to fit inside a backpack.
Love the videos, God bless!
These wood stoves fold up and will fit inside a backpack. When it was 20 below zero I could keep it at about 30 F if I kept the stove going on low, but you have to put wood in it once an hour. I also had a thermometer in my tent.
Wow. You are amazing. Just subscribed. What was temperature inside tent when it was -20F?
Your video are so awesome & amazing ;) looks so beautiful out there in Yellowstone especially with the snow & geysers.... How cold was it camping out thier ?
Well Done! Are there places around to rent a pulk, stove and appropriate tent? I'm from the mid-atlantic and don't think I would get enough use out of the equipment to buy. First YS visit in 10 days. Already want to return in winter. THX
Also, what stove are you running? is it easy to get it started and keep it going?
If you were to get hurt out there, would there be a way to get help quickly? Is there cell service in the area? I kind of doubt it.
I have an inReach satellite communicator. So I would use that. But it is very dangerous in this kind of weather because you may not last long enough. You may freeze to death before help arrived.
What is the purpose for banning fires during the winter in Yellowstone? It seems that the fire danger would be extremely low.
Nate, the only reason I can think of is that it would be hard to fight a fire if one got started. Otherwise I don’t know why either. Maybe someone will read your comment and give us a clue.
Another excellent video. I really enjoy seeing Yellowstone this time of year. I have a question. Do you know what temp it was inside with the wood stove burning or maybe just a guesstimate? I am curious how much warmer the wood stove made it inside the tent. Thanks.
Please read my reply to Chris McCord comment. Thanks
@@StanMills Wow! From 20 below to 30 above. A 50 degree difference. That is incredible. Thank you.
I think I've watched all of your videos because I love the scenery and wildlife. I have a question on how you keep your hand and feet warm? I live in Iowa so I know what it's like to be out in -20 degrees . Here you can go in the house to warm up.
Jan, Look in the video description section for the winter boots that I wear. They seem to work well and my feet don't get cold. They are at least one size bigger than my normal size so that I can have a couple layers of thick wool socks and still allow for a loose fit around my feet. For my hands I wear a very good quality mitten and inner liner. The mittens I have I bought 10 years ago from REI and they are "The North Face" Summit Series, it says on them. I think they cost around $200 back then. They work fine, but for times like taking down camp when it is very cold I will put a "Little Hotties" Hand Warmer in each mitten. I guess all of our modern equipment is better than what the old timers had.

Always wondered if those tent stoves gave off sparks to worry about on your tent fabric?
Hey Stan, how are you liking your Luxe gear tent? Went to their website and liked what I saw. Found a lot of not so nice reviews about the company on the net. Any issues?
Brrrr!
I guess you're counting on no "winter bears"...very dangerous.
are all bears sleeping in winter?
What model hot tent are you using?
Why isn't wood burning allowed in winter wtf
