EASIEST tent platform you can build + setting up a LOTUS BELLE tent SOLO

In this video I show you how I built a very simple tent platform in the woods for my Lotus Belle tent. I also take you through the process of setting up this tent all by myself- even in the winter.

Thank you all for watching! There is no link to this tent as it's not a sponsored video. Tell me, what is YOUR favorite way to camp?

[@ZoeSkye654]

I prefer stealth camping years ago but that was because i did not know the area when traveling and bunking down for night , Really like the tent, looks rather sci-fi tent, i paint sci-fi and fantasy settings, and such a tent would look in place in such setting.

We still tent camp, I'm almost 65. We love our little 10x10.... but about froze to death last oct on Lake Erie! We are Texas Trash and not used to that kind of bitter cold wind! I love watching your channel! It's makes me so happy!

I miss living on my secluded 5 acres. I'm hoping to find my new place in the next couple years. Thinking of moving to another state, with acreage of course. My fondest memories at my country home was coming home from work, turn off my car and walk straight into the woodshed and start chopping wood for my wood stove, even in my skirt and high heels. I didn't care, it was a great way to unwind and get physical! I love camping too and getting creative with nature to build or make what I need. Your videos give me so much inspiration! I'm a 67y.o. woman and still want to live off the land. I make my creature comforts simple and am happy in nature. ❤

[@cynthiacrawford1573]

SouthEast Georgia towards Savannah and Florida has some nice land.

[@synergy2222]

We can do it. Make it simple though. Let's get rid of things we don't need. I've decided to buy overalls for gardening and get rid of all other clothes. It's so much easier and less clothes to store. All other clothes or items can be donated to shelters.

[@lp5222]

Definitely think we would all agree we would easily add the word Amazing to your title. Amazing Girl in the Woods !!!!! 💕

[@mobiltec]

More camping videos in this tent please. Love that thing. And it's not really all that pricey compared to other wall tents.

[@dianedeczynski4251]

YOU ROCK, GIRL!!!! That is so beautiful, I don't think I'd ever leave it. I love the decorators touch you alway add. Makes it so homey. 🥰

[@kimdagnillo8246]

I understand, I’ve done many projects alone too. I love a challenge. I love watching all your projects, you’re a strong independent woman who gives others great ideas that I personally appreciate 🙂

[@brendag2891]

I love this set up, and that you were able to pull the whole thing off with only the help of Moose (and I could tell, he really thought he was helping!) Brooke, you inspired me to buy a gathering tent, as well. I looked into wall tents, but then decided to start with a more portable, cheaper pop-up gazebo. I learned how to put it up in my backyard, yet can use it at the lake to keep the bugs out. Thank you for totally inspiring me!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

awesome~

[@suzisaintjames]

I'm with you sister! I may not be able to build something as easily or quickly as a man (really frustrating), but we figure it out and get 'er done... So satisfying knowing that I did it myself. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷

[@a.p.5429]

My husband can't set up even a two man. 😂 I'm the set up person for everyone's tent. Only need help with my daughter's two room tent. Its a bit much.

[@suzisaintjames]

Just got done watching Micks Latest video nowhere.Gets it from for sure. You guys are just wonderful to watch and you just never say can't do it. Blessings from a grandma in portland oregon who just loves watching your adventures. God bless. You my dear.

[@user-vk6fw2jb5b]

Nice and pretty set up.

[@FLIPPER1439]

I so would love to be back in the woods again. Walking trails, Fishing 🎣,Sleeping in tent 🏕️ Florida 🌴 isn’t the same as upper Minnesota where I use to live 33+ years ago. Thank you 😊 this is awesome 👏🏻

[@denisemankewitz8480]

Proud to know you Brooke. This tent sure is beautiful! Over the years we all know that once you make your mind up to do something, you can do anything!

[@National757]

Girl in the woods with a luxury condo in the woods! Ha-ha! Not to shabby! Cool tent! :) Moose is trying to figure out what his Mom is doing now! ;) Jim G. Reno NV.

[@liamalepta8003]

That tent stove is the same as mine. I have a tipi tent and a hammock tent, both i put in stove jacks, I will confirm, that little wood stove will warm you out. No BS, they crank some heat in a small place. I have to stoke it often, but i found solutions, Rural King sells briquets that are like particle wood. At your bed time in the tent, toss two in the stove as you stoke your fire for the night, it will get you through to morning when you wake up, warmth wise and keep it burning coals, to build your breakfast stove fire, about 7 hours heat off the bricks. I only sleep 6 a night, im sure most adulta are this way too. But that was my biggest aspect, how to get a small wood stove to keep me warm in my tipi at 5 am, wont need to wake up and stoke the fire. I learned what to do and I live in my tent like its a hotel. lol

[@billiegoodman4872]

I LOVE this TENT! Could and would live in. Great job, B!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks B!

[@SFNativeGal]

You make projects look so easy to complete. That is the most gorgeous tent and love your indoor decorating. Can’t wait for many fireside chats around your outdoor fire pit. So perfect and close to your tent door. Thank you so very much for sharing goodness with us this fine Monday morning. Exactly what I needed!!!!

[@suzannest-laurentdvorak459]

It was our pleasure to watch, what a gorgeous setting you have, I love it!!!!! A beautiful tent..

[@sheilacaine]

I ❤ this more and more every time I see it.

[@jstbtwnume9110]

The platform makes all the difference. Everything will stay really nicely in the tent. Great idea!

[@looktothesky00]

Wow! That sure looked like hard work, but I bet it was so worth it! You're definitely gonna enjoy some fantastic nights in that Brooke! ❤❤

[@hq_FiRE]

I watch your videos when I need a little inspiration. Not to go camping necessarily, but in general. Just dealing with life is hard some times, and can feel very lonely. You make a big difference in my life and I appreciate you for it. Thanks for bringing us along. ❤

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

I have a canvas wagon tent I put in my bed of my truck. I have a cot,and I put all my supplies under the cot. I have a porta pottie I use ,very simple set up. And I camp by my self. Love ur tent Brooke!

[@MyBackyardScience]

Great job on the platform! It definitely served your purpose! The tent is so spacious! It makes tent camping appealing! 🙂

[@amandajo1013]

Tent camping is definitely my favorite

[@stoutkm]

Great job Brooke! The tent is huge. I like the plywood platform. Very simple. Best Regards to you and Dave

[@lisamdrake5696]

Very cool, Brooke! ❤ My favorite way to camp is in the Havasupai Indian Reservation sleeping in a hammock hung between the trees alongside Havasu Creek. But, then again, there is something so incredibly comforting and cozy about tent camping in the White Mountains after a nice hike-in with the smell of pine 🌲 and campfire 🔥surrounding me. I guess it’s a toss-up. ❤😊

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Sounds great!

[@beckypennington79]

Cool looking tent a lot hard work but you did it proud of you I know one thing for sure I'm glad with all this energy that you use your powers for good❤

You're brave using the white rug! I hope to camp this summer...the tent is beautiful and great job setting it up! Your poor back! Much love :)

Thank you. Recently I build a chickenrun by myself. I thought I might not be able to do alone, but I could. The feeling of being able to do something I was not sure about, is great.

This tent is awesome and so big . Love it girl, you did great putting it up. You deserve it !!! Be safe and take. Care

Thank you as I will be looking to do this same thing.

[@joanntucker2742]

Great job putting the tent up it would have taken me a week to get it up , love your tent 👏👍🐕🤔😍

[@ann-mariejensen2623]

I am so impressed that you did this alone. I bought my first Kodiak canvas tent in my mid-60s to sleep six and my one requirement was that I was able to put it up by myself. This Lotus is a lot bigger than my Kodiak. I'm in awe.

[@yas4435]

What a beautiful tent set up you have I hope you enjoy it for many decades

Great job Brooke! Me and the family peaked in on your and Belles progress! Looking great!

👏👏💖💖BRAVO!! LOVIN' IT!! Great job!! Looks fabulour!! Too bad your husband and son weren't there helping to put it together for a fun and memorable event. But then doing it all by yourself gives you a wonderful sense of accomplishment, like, I can conquer anything!! Thanks for sharing! Much love from Texas.
