Winter Camping in a HUGE Inflatable Hot Tent

[@jeffreymenacher6024]

The silver reflective material does not go under the stove. It is designed to keep the heat from the chimney from melting the side of the tent directly behind it.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Hmmm, not the way I interpreted it, but I'll do some research.

[@nicholasleonardo4788]

Jeffrey is correct. The silver fire retardant material goes up the sidewall to protect the sidewall from heat. I have the same tent.😊😊

[@SQWIB]

​@@CampingwithSamBananasI concur with these folks, it's to protect the wall

[@sherry8894]

We all love you Sam Bananas ❤️❤️❤️

[@Tropicalrg]

You do what you want to Sam. Just keep having fun.

[@suebeal4682]

😢you are so kind and wonderful. You are willing to show everything. I am 82 years old and love watching your videos

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Thank you for watching! 🙏

[@NileKelly]

The intros/openers to the bananna flask sessions never fail to make me smile. Epic stuff, Sam! lol.. "But you know what I gotta do first...." A little trick, Sam, to prevent the corners of a tape patch from peeling: Don't cut a square or rectangle. Cut the tape in a circle or oval, as it won't have sharp 90 degree corners that could separate from the rip or hole. It's the same approach when you use patching material on an inner tube in a bicycle tire.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

That's such a good idea! I'll keep that in mind for next time. Hopefully not too soon, I've torn it twice now 😬

[@sab3295]

You can hear gas in your lighter. Sometimes it's just cold. Push the orange thing down. Don't light it!! And I agree. Always get a lighter when the one you are using now still works.

[@sab3295]

Guess it’s red

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Thanks for the tip!

[@fentydidthis]

Hi Sam. I just started watching your videos recently and they really help me to sleep and calm down. I love to escape to nature and when I can’t I can do that through you. (I also love a beer too as well haha)I really love your personality and the energy you put into your videos. I’m going to become a supporter soon when I get paid, I’ve been binging over the last few weeks haha :) especially your storm or bushcraft shelter content, those really help me sleep for some reason, thank u!!

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

I appreciate the kind words, thank you! I'm glad the videos are helping 😊

[@jonhughes4550]

When you cut the patch for your jacket make sure to round the edges of the patch. If it square it will come off a lot easier. Not sure why it works but it does

[@craigofnot]

I’d guess it’s due to the corner edges of a square cut increasingly catching on things, causing it to pull off faster. Then again, I’m no coat patch aficionado 😜

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

That's a great idea!

[@themourningdove7208]

Because it's square....

[@mikepauly4855]

That heat reflector should stay on the wall you need a pad for the floor separate of your own I think?

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

No I believe it's designed to come loose and go on the floor. I've never used a hot tent that has a protection for the wall. And these walls are super tough and sturdy. That's why it's so heavy 🤣

[@jeffreymenacher6024]

@@CampingwithSamBananas I commented seperately from this. But check out the pictures on the website for the tent. They show the reflective material behind the chimney, up the wall. The floor doesn't need protection from heat as much as the tent wall. The clips are there to keep it on the wall.

[@jeffreymenacher6024]

I share your sentiment. The manufacturers website photos and videos show the reflective material up the side of the wall, which the clips are used for. But in the end, it's his tent to do with as he chooses.

[@cuz129]

Your tent is as nice as my new mountain cabin, almost! What a cool way to camp! I hate wearing puffer jackets around a fire, I usually go with something made of heavy canvas fabric when I might get sparked. But they are warm.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

This tent is SOOO nice, I love it!

[@timothybrewster1733]

[@justincoleman2740]

Beauty bro!! One thing about the stove pipe seal. I lived in a cabin once with a crude stove and once the inside warmed up, almost no smoke escaped into the cabin. Air preasure differences between cold and warm air. Not positive on the science though.😀

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Hmmmm interesting!

[@Bubba4168]

It may sound a little strange, but for small ember burns in that type of material or even tiny cuts, clear fingernail polish works, wonders.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep that in mind.

[@BBP3255]

Happy NEW Year Sam and Fam! What a fun Friday treat💖 Sam you simply seem more confident now, glamping or bushwhacking we all love it all. Aloha from Landers, feel free to visit the South West sometime? Take Care

Not raure where you're at but I'm heading out to Hawaii in a few months 👍

[@matopezuta2050]

Those book matches we always called gofer matches, strike one and go-fer another. One of these days you need to break down and get a good coat with a canvas outer shell, those puffy ones are great for the mall, terrible in the timber. Also forget inflatable pads especially in cold weather. Best thing I've found for cold weather if using a cot is to hang an old sleeping bag under the surface of your cot. It's basically the same idea as an under quilt for a hammock. I camp down to 15-20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit doing that. Any time I've tried to use a pad on top of a cot when I tear down, I find moisture under the pad where condensation has occurred and I definitely sleep warmer with the bag under the cot.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Great ideas! I do think I'll get a heavier coat at some point like a carhart, however I don't think I'd like it for backpacking. Too heavy and restrictive.

[@matopezuta2050]

@CampingwithSamBananas worn Carrhart coats hunting for years, even mule deer and antelope hunting in Montana. The biggest thing is to break them in before going to the timber. Otherwise, they are stiff and restrictive.

If you are going to bring that heavy tent with you camping you might as well get 2 /or 3 of 4 feet sections of 4inch B-vent and then you don't have to worry about burning or melting your tent. Just had to add my opinion about the silver material strip. Love the channel Nanners

Thanks for the video Sam. I've packed up in pouring rain like that, just get it done. Food looked great, yum, maybe add some precooked bacon bits. Your headlamp looked so bright, lit up everything for us. Have you ever thought of heating a bottle of water and tucking it in your sleeping bag for warmth? Outdoor Boys does that all the time. I'd like to get the down booties he has, but I fear the price is above my range. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@DavidsOutdoors-of1vs]

You basically had a furnished apartment! Lol! Its amazing all the collapsible/packable furniture you've shown. I had a collapsible cot from walmart that was basically the same construction as a camp chair. It was awesome to have. Not the most comfortable thing but it got you off the ground. Worked well for a quick nap when I was working late too. Take care!

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Right on!

[@andrewdorsett2160]

The orientation of the heat resistant material, makes me think, maybe it was there to protect wall and ceiling of tent, from stovepipe heat. ??

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

A lot of people thought that, but no it's meant for the floor. The wall does not need protection. I have 5 hot tents, none of them have protection on the wall. However it's incredibly easy to accidentally spill embers out of the door of the stove onto the floor and at the point you have a hole in the floor.

Sam. I recommend getting a Helikon Pilgrim smock to wear over your puffy jacket at camp. it'll protect it from getting burned or torn. I find the outer material on puffies to be too delicate for bushcraft, whereas the smock is duracanvas so very tough and spark resistant.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

No but I'll check him out right now!

[@MM-gw3vx]

Sam, here’s a BIC lighter “trick.” Let’s assume that your lighter has fuel but it will not light because it got too cold from being outside. Obviously you could put the lighter in a shirt pocket under your coat to warm it up but try this first. Hold the lighter and give the base a couple of sharp taps on a hard surface like a picnic table, chunk of wood, a rock, etc. This will excite the atoms in the fuel much like if you were to drop a can of beer then immediately open it. The beer will fizz out. Tapping the lighter as described should excite the atoms in the fuel enough to be able to strike a flame.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

I'll try it!
