Inflatable Cabin vs +100°F | Will Arctic Air Work?

Will Arctic Air Work? Well it worked exactly how I thought it would lol. This was definitely a hot one, much harder to camp in 100° then 0° if you ask me.

lol!!!! You are surrounded by woods in the summer heat, but you put the tent in the full sun AND made it a greenhouse by removing the panels. Of course it’s going to heat up inside.🎉🎉

[@socalgal714]

In this heat, thunderstorms pop up quickly. Last place I'd want to be is under a tree!

[@KingdomChld]

Yeah, it was a totally unfair assessment.

[@Melmelba]

You don’t want to be under a tree or where the roots travel underground in a lightning storm.

[@cassandraargo9017]

The keys to summer camping in the heat is putting your tent in the shade, having cross ventilation, and lots of cold beverages/snacks.

[@PCTLadyPuterTutor]

And cover the sun roof. It's acting as a greenhouse.

This was definitely a needed video for me, I lost my best friend and baby boy just before father's day he wasn't even 10 years old and perfectly happy healthy 85lb puppy we took him up to our cabin and he had what the doctors believed was a stroke or something neurological happen his entire rear quarters went paralyzed and couldn't control his bladder or bowels and he was in a lot of pain. I couldn't allow my boy to suffer like that we tried for a week of him being hospitalized and treatments didn't help and there was nothing else the doctors could do. It's been extremely devastating he was always here by my side and cheering the Bruins on and he was an amazing member of the family. Love your videos that you 3 do, always a great time and stay as positive as possible. Great seeing Chester Is doing well and very happy. I needed a bit of happiness even if it was hot and buggy out it's still a good time spent together, that's all that matters. Much love and respect to you and your family!

As someone who has spent their whole life in a part of the US where our summer catch phrase is "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" - and we're talking about 100 degree actual temp heat - the trick is to camp next to spring fed rivers. That helps significantly in keeping camp cool. We also use very light weight gear that is light in color. No black or dark colors!

[@michaelreavey4527]

Evaporative coolers really only work when you're not somewhere already humid. They will make it more humid though. A regular old fan might be more helpful.

[@reneevaz7848]

I always camp in the Colorado high Rockies in the summer. This weekend was 68⁰F in the bright sun and 34⁰ in the dead of night. Absolutely perfect camping weather. My pooch likes it more than I do!

[@Google123ABC]

34 degrees??? Must be nice. I literally sweat gallons out here at night in the Houston area just standing outside. And that’s just standing. Start walking and heat exhaustion starts. Main reason I want to move away.

[@TinMan_RC]

@@Google123ABC oh I don't live in the Rockies, though I'd like to. It was over 100⁰ at my house that weekend with random monsoon type thunderstorms

[@scottpenland3576]

Would go all the time when younger. Can't rarely get a site in Colorado at State parks without planning 6 months to year ahead. Plenty of privates but good ones like state get booked way out as well. BLM is fun but like nearby attractions too. Need a reservation just to get in RMNP. Turned into gridlock. Ditched the RV and camping gear, miss it , but not when it's parking lot to and from.

[@blowinshtup6553]

shading the tent makes a huge difference…. along with a decent generator and portable AC unit. I do this in Oklahoma’s summers with a canvas tent but it’s gotta be in the shade to really work well.

[@thomasnew8606]

Yes A real AC is the only way to go. Plug in and put it right outside the door and make sure it will drain away from the tent.

[@PlancoandChill]

A reflective tarp that is much bigger than the tent and suspended over it to provide shade, and a way to pass hot air out of the tent and bring in cool is probably the only way to have a cool tent on such a miserably hot day.

[@Danno-in-Maine]

Shade is your friend, all those clear roof panels would work like a green house.

[@sonnydavis877]

A damp towel or rag to bathe your body with in front of a fan helps cool you down when no air conditioning is present. I learned this in the Saudi desert. We love the channel. Thanks!

[@jaystoploss6058]

We did this in Arizona when our truck AC went out. It was 125 degrees in the cab.

[@janew5351]

How about putting ceiling shades back on and then 50 percent shade cloth over top! Love the couch!

[@tyrrellje]

Not that I had particular faith in the Arctic Air keeping it cool in there, but you should have closed all of the flaps to keep the sun from creating a greenhouse effect inside the "cabin". Good idea having the dog as your second camera-man. :)

[@kevinmcintyre6503]

No idea why you would take off the ceiling shades. You turned your tent into a greenhouse as soon as you did that. Almost no air conditioner would deal with that much heat.

[@evelynthompson755]

I think a lot of people here in the South, camp in the fall or spring. I would suggest a camper or RV. Arctic Air requires that you put the filter under water and then freeze it, othwerwise, it blows warm air. You can buy camping air conditioners.

[@GoingMock2]

Most of my camping in Tennessee does take place in spring and fall. We still get days in the 80s in both seasons.

[@boydpukalo8980]

The heat wave was brutal here in Michigan too. It was even hotter in Canada. Those temperatures/humidity levels are dangerous for both you and Chester. Time to reschedule the camping trip when the weather has become sane again. With the bugs on top it must have been miserable for both of you.

Small 6 person tent, $200 wall ac unit. 1 extra tarp silver on top to help radiate heat off. I camp in the fl keys often. It's annoying the extra gear but it helps. I also have a large industrial fan at night with the ac blowing at my feet. It's cool for sleeping at night

[@carlosgonzalez7199]

[@sk84lyfe1211]

Gotta freeze the freezer pack. It wouldn’t be too much better but it would have been coolish initially if the freezer pack was frozen

[@jeeper426]

i use a cargo blanket on my tent floor, i put the tent in the shade with a good cross breeze, and i put either an emergency mylar blanket or a reflective backed tarp over top of my tent as a fly to assist with extra shade as well as a little more water proofing, also a fan, a fan is a must when its hot, stay hydrated, stay out of direct sunlight, and basicly chill until the sun goes down enough that it cools down in the evening

[@scottlund4562]

That wool blanket spread out on the roof and then soaked with water in the sun would cool the inside down immensely through evaporation. Or burlap. 🤙

[@brantisonfire]

A tiny swamp cooler in a place that seems like it has 70% humidity. You’re up north in Canada so maybe not that swampy. You can’t use evaporation to cool when the air is already saturated. I’m sure you knew that, and it makes for a great video watching you suffer through it.

[@myreasonforlife.9511]

Glad to see Chester back for sure. Adam I'm sure u see up close wildlife do u ever film it. I think it'd be cool to add that in at the end of your video. Not many of us get to experience Canada and probably never will. Thank you for your content. 🤍

[@Brittany.Anderson]

I have been without air-conditioning at different times for different reasons. The majority of the times were right after hurricanes. After my last hurricane, i was outside as much as possible to stay cool. Some of the other reasons were air-conditioner issues or some other non storm related power outage. I have used the arctic air cooling system and it worked for me. I have lived in Louisiana and Florida. I have yet to ride out a hurricane in Florida.

[@houstontexas4658]

GA camper here ~ camping season runs Sept through May, those other months you hide inside and pray for electricity bills under $200. Same goes for the classic cars (no AC) and motorcycles. Anything outdoor related. General life, you pretty much just aren't outside after 11am till 6am the next day unless you want to be a walking sweat rag, dripping at every step.

The Artic air is an evaporative cooler ,not AC. It won't work well if you are in an area with humidity. They work best in dry climates.

[@gritskennedy5007]

Yes, tip number one...set up camp under a shady tree. You still gotta be aware of wearing a hat ticks n chiggers things that fall on your head from above but the shade would have done you right. The shade is so important especially when this remote and by yourself virtually you have to be extra cautious of heatstroke.

[@EPC]

How do you want it to get colder when you keep the tent in sun, and you open all those windows to create greenhouse effect?

[@GoingMock2]

I’m in Tennessee where we get temps in the 90s and 100s a lot. In a tent your best bet is to keep air circulating, windows open to vent, and shade trees. Cold beer under the neck doesn’t hurt!

[@pandiculation194]

If you had about 2 x 4 wood fin waterfall and a way to vent the heat from the top you might do something. It is like the old small chiller units before HVAC. Water evaporates are 56 degree F. I see Bus drivers in non AC buses in SE Asia with 4 gallon buckets behind their seats. You could design something but unless you have power you will have to fill the top tank manually or by a bicycle pump and the volume needed to cycle must be high. That thing you bought might cool a 3x3x3 box maybe?

[@joggydboss]

I camp in the summer time and find it easier to do it if I avoid AC as much as possible. I do my best to just get conditioned to the heat. At the end of the day when it's time to go to bed, a cold shower will cool me off well enough to help me fall asleep. Remember to drink a lot of water when the weather gets warm. I feel like it's a hack everyone forgets/ignores.

[@user-xx4jx1nw8g]
