Every Campers Worst Nightmare

Join me on a two-day winter survival camping Journey in the mountains.
It was a tough battle with the winds... My tent almost got blown away, all of my gear froze and I couldn't even close my eyes for a minute.
But in the end, it was all worth it!

To save on fuel drying out the sock - boil water, pour in your water bottle and put it in the sock. The sock will dry quite quickly. I've even dried trekking tights this way. Also, sock over hot water bottle helps with warming up the sleeping bag, but this is something I'm sure most people know by now. The stove tipping over made me gasp 🥲

[@cerberus6654]

I think he has tipped over his stove in almost every video :)

[@baldbeardedwanderer8403]

When pitching your tent always connect it to your backpack with a carabiner. This way, the tent is always anchored while you put the pegs in the ground.

[@medicinegone]

or at least temp your pegs so it doesn't blow away. 6.5min in, I feel like this is a person who shouldn't be doing the thing he's doing.

[@yogaphile7833]

And when setting up a tent, it is less likely to blow away if you open the flaps! Otherwise, you've just set up an inflated balloon for the wind to blow around.... And throw your gear inside to weigh it down, too!

[@echetlos]

Always peg your tent before pitching, i don't know if it makes sense the way I'm saying it.

I’ve not camped very much during winter, so I came to watch this video and read the comments. Gold 😊!

[@cerberus6654]

Here in Canada if you go camping anywhere wild the LAST thing you do is cook in your tent or keep food in it - unless you want a close, personal encounter with a bear! And gas cookers with a big pot of water on top is trouble about to happen. Years ago I made a wooden base with holes for dowels that grip the gas canister tight. And I attached grommets to the base so I can spike it into the ground. Extra weight to carry, but worth it.

[@Alloyaha]

Same- I'm in Montana and the whole cooking scene had me cringing... all of his gear is now a smellable 😂. They also now make snap-on feet for the fuel canisters, so I'd highly recommend getting some. They're plastic and weigh barely an ounce or two.

[@cerberus6654]

@@Alloyaha Thanks! I'm going to get those.

[@borutpeckaj2626]

We have alot of bears… they do avoid people if possible 🤷🏻‍♂️ and they don’t really live in the mountains either…

[@cerberus6654]

@@borutpeckaj2626 In North America we have black bears, brown bears and, of course, grizzly bears (out West and up north). And in the Arctic there are polar bears, which are very dangerous animals. Where I live on the East coast there seem to be bears everywhere you go. I've seen them a lot of times when I used to hike and camp in the Adirondack mountains in New York State and when canoeing and camping in the La Vérendrye provincial park. Brown bears do tend to avoid humans but the black bears are more fearless, and more likely to prowl around where you are camping for the night. And grizzly bears attack and kill humans every year. So, you don't keep food in your tent. Ever.

[@Alloyaha]

@@borutpeckaj2626 Yeah we have mostly Grizzly bears- basically they're 600lb (300 KG) walking SUV's with a very bad temper.

[@littleflower23]

Great video. You had a quite a time on this trip but you sure kept your sense of humor about it all. First time watching.

[@hannonmc]

Just a few thoughts. First, anchor the tent before setting up the poles. Second, get much better tent stakes. Those thin ones won’t do anything. Those anchors for the rainfly were nice but you still want to use some guy lines attached to the fly to help with the wind. It’s one thing to cook in a vestibule, but in your tent?!

[@TheSocialGamer]

I love the coziness of sleeping in a tight tent, and the view was stunning. I like the casual vibes you give on your videos. Cheers bro!

Do not use open flame in a tent !!!

[@biffa1234100]

Just one of several rookie mistakes, but hey , we've all been there. on the plus what beautiful scenery and an honest approach.

[@a.s.7160]

Even in vestibule? Asking for myself

[@Cragrat65]

Did you notice the flame of the stove turning red at 13:30? I think that is a sign of Carbon Monoxide building up. If I cook in tent I always have the vestibule open.

[@echetlos]

True, Propane ( C 3 H 8 ) and butane ( C 4 H 10 ) are both part of the alkane family and are gaseous at room temperature. When these hydrocarbons combust in the presence of oxygen, they produce carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ) and water ( H 2 O ) as primary products.

[@goaski474]

Ever see one burn?

[@MarcusEye]

I enjoyed the video, but that stove really made me nervous for you!. The tiny platform the pot sits on is way small, scary small and I get the need to pack light and compact, but there’s gotta be a better solution than that particular stove!. Thanks for sharing brother!. Cheers !!🙏👍👊☮️

[@marchill923]

I respect you enormously for getting out there and making this video. But please take more care. You nearly burnt down the tent twice. You could have poisoned your self with carbon monoxide. The tent wasn’t up to it and a summer sleeping bag in -5c cold is very dangerous. I didn’t see any gloves either. Your spirit is commendable, your choice of location was great but for gods sake look after yourself better.

[@paulm3033]

It's very relaxing watching your videos, strangely, the sound of you unwrapping the protein bars against the background of the silence and beauty of the mountains enhances that feeling .

[@adrian.inthewild]

Great lil overnighter. And great views in the morning, all worth it! You made me really laugh behind my computer man, you can meticulously climb deadly steep slopes solo in the middle of winter by night and with eyes closed, but when it comes to prepare 3 small hrenovke you almost set the whole mountain on fire 😅🤣 Can't wait to see you sleep a whole and good night in the wild, hope the next will be the one.

[@andrazegart]

Hahahaha I feel like I can be very focused when I need to… but when I can relax, I relax too much 🤣 and that’s why I always joke about how I’m probably gonna die by falling down the stairs or something silly like that 🤣 Thank you & kind regards 🙌

man that flame was so close to the edge of the tent.

[@matthewjohnston3195]

That is what I thought, I could hardly watch.

[@andrissenbergs5048]

1) Never camp on top of mountains if possible, because often strong winds all night and a real possibility to get hit by lightning. 2) If you do need to get out and move, it is dangerous because most likely there are steep slopes, fog and lots of sharp rocks + pitch black darkness. Oh, and the wind will make moving much harder, if not impossible. In this video you could see lots of woods around and that would be the best spot to make shelter. It could have been an easy calm night :), but he chose the hard mode People should know that nature is unforgiving.

Haha, when you were tying the top of the tent and shaking the tent out, I thought, "cool, probably going to put down some tent stakes." Then the clip of the tent blowing away made me chuckle

[@ChthonianRealm]

OMG! Mishap Central! However, I seriously need to teach Andraz cooking safety! 🤣🤪 - hmm I noticed that part of your difficulty was in pitching your tent "broadside" to the wind. I had to wait until the end to verify that.

[@ΜάνοςΛαγουτατζής]

[@janinemillar5989]

[@xlarin]

Be careful when cooking inside the tent, you can get poisoned by carbon monoxide from the burner.

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

My club which does camp outs has lost people who tried to use heaters in their small dome tents like yours. Carbon monoxide put them unconscious before they could turn them off and they never woke up. We knew the man was reaching to turn off the heater because that was the way he was found when friends opened the tent in the morning when he was called for breakfast.

[@noah97589]

@@wandapease-gi8yonatural selection at its finest heaters are fine for tents same with wood stoves just gotta have vent hence why they make hot tents just for this

On the bright side, the fog rolling in and shrouding the view was also gorgeous, and something I probably haven't seen as much, since people usually upload the "good" views.

Part of why i don't do this type of stuff, i dislike not getting enough sleep when i "do" get "sleep" and then have to travel for a long time or spend all day doing errands. And coffee only does so much, but helps. Sometimes it feels like you should just setup your tent and stuff right there around your car and spend the day and get some good sleep.

Also you need to keep a tight grip on your kit in the field/mountains. If you needed to bug out fast for whatever reason you don’t want to be chasing your stove or jacket around. If you’re not using a piece of kit at that moment you need to put it in your backpack. If you don’t you run the risk of losing it. In those environments it could mean the difference between life and death. In the 90’s there as a climbing exposition up Mt Rainier and the climbing party had to be rescued all because one person lost one glove and didn’t bring a spare pair.

Also invest in a small cutting board to put your stove on while you’re cooking OUTSIDE.

[@michaelbruchas6663]

Do you American/Canadians viewers remember something called “four season tents”? 35 years ago - when I tent camped - they were supposed to be a heavier tent but packable. Almost all of these folks who tent camp on KZbin use Summer-weight tents. (Then there are the canvas tent types…) Never cook inside a tent! Unless you are prepping MRE’s. A good way to incinerate yourself…😱 Steam/condensation from your cooking and your warm breath in a small tent - led to frost inside the tent..

Loved your relaxing video! 🇸🇮 But please buy yourself a plastic tripod stabiliser for your gas canister to stop it toppling. It’s dangerous! And also cooking in your sleeping area risks death from carbon monoxide poisoning. CO is heavier than air but has no odour. It will lie in the bottom of the bath tub. Please cook outside, or at least in the tent entrance outside the bath tub, and use lots of ventilation even then. 🤞
