Just get a 1/8th inch plywood to put under the mattress, which will help with the slats. For your stove, get one of those heat fans to move heat around the tent. Love your setup.

[@mikecronin8825]

Get a bunky board. Plywood will not allow ventilation, that means mold. Pretty good setup. Mike from Maine.

[@nuggetsfan007]

Put a finish on that board so moisture doesn’t accumulate! Will ruin the wood over time

[@emailnext6602]

Mice will love that mattress

[@kevinstatz]

I used plywood but then put commercial non-slip shower tiles between the mattress and the wood to allow airflow in a camper build I did.

Hey Mav, .. see that circle on top of the wood stove? If you take that out and put the pot/pan over the hole it heats the pan/pot more... Thats why that circle plate/hole is there. 😉

[@Flowergurl2000]

Yeah, saw that and heat the wood stove and Dutch oven first.

[@Zeldalou42377]

@@Flowergurl2000 Yeah, the Dutch oven will hold heat nicely so you can pre heat it for a bit.

[@fishincontrol]

Yep. And can crack the door a little bit to increase air flow to get it hotter a little quicker

[@ruthiewrangler9864]

I have that same stove. The 2 circles are part of the stove and don't come off. And now the EPA requires a baffle that is at the top of the stove to reburn the gases. It's keeps the stove from being efficient like the old ones. I took mine out and it works great now. And added the damper like Mav did.

Mav, please don’t cut and use the inside of your thigh as a rest. One slip and you are gone. Main arteries don’t give you a second chance. Love ya kiddo!

[@SBQuill73]

Wow, great tent. I’m envious and put it on my Dream List. Ideas. For the floor how about those interlocking pads you put down when ice fishing. For lanterns, get solar lamps and hang them in the trees during the day. Those square ones used in camping. You need a small low camping table near stove-- it will help with cooking. A whole box spring? Maybe not. Cardboard under the mattress & you won’t feel the metal slats.

[@saginawdan]

The interlocking pads would be great- good idea! 👍

[@greathornedowl3644]

Winter camping at its finest. Love the Cooking with Mav segment, always makes me hungry. Suprised no critters have set up a home in your abode.

[@chrisj2713]

If he doesn't put some rodenticide boxes in there he's gonna have some.

[@mikegage4933]

I was thinking the same thing about the critters. Wonder if they will tear apart the mattress and take pieces of it back to their "home?"

[@shonamcintosh8377]

Hi Mav, a saw a couple of things that I suggest you give a try and see if your stove gets warmer for cooking on. Try and use wood that is from fallen trees, or has been cut for a while so that it has dried it will burn hotter. For your beef stew, I would have put browned off the meat, put aside while you soften the onion, add back in the beef and your garlic, add your stock, bring to the boil, then add your veg in stages, the veg that takes the longest to cook goes in first. (This will also not drop the temperature of the stew too far) and lastly use cornstarch rather than all purpose flour to thicken the stew it cooks out quicker. Love your tent in the woods.

[@someguy9778]

No, he just needs to remove the plate. Like intended.

[@joyjordan5123]

That was such a fun video! We have a wall tent and just love it. It's so nice to be toasty warm inside with the wood stove while it's snowing and/or freezing outside. We bought the padded puzzle floor mats to help insulate from the cold coming up from the ground. Your mattress might just need to be in some warm air for a few hours to puff up all the way. Fun set up though! Excited to see more videos on your tent.

[@jorgeasaur]

An update to the tent and a nice place to sleep more comfy, makes it more enjoyable and you would want to visit more often too. Love it bro. Since you already have the base made of wood why not just make a wooden table too that becomes a permanent part of the setup as well, that way you have a nice place to cut instead of on the foam plate.

[@andreaewert7204]

[@malindaallinson5749]

There really is such a limited market for really good outdoor wear it's better than having just one choice and I appreciate you. And I have that exact bed frame without box springs, it is the taller up off the floor though so I can stuff stuff under and it's just awesome.

[@Adventuresofkratosandmilo]

Id definitely look into a double sided axe/hatchet. Usually one sides more for chopping and ones for splitting also a sheet of 1/8th or 1/2 inch treated plywood under the mattress would work great for support and id hit some antique malls and find some old oil lanterns still in good shape they'll probably work better than the ones that you had leaking and getting a wood rack a little closer to the heater would make it easier to load and keep the wood dry

[@davelunaskitchen8355]

Mav, that cabin is a little piece of paradise! Thanks for sharing bud!

[@w077714]

4’x8’ (3/8”)sheet of plywood on top of the bed frame would help support the foam mattress topper

[@lilywater3408]

Home Depot has indoor outdoor/boat.. cheap carpet on a 12' roll....cut to size needed...its very durable....cover those breezy cracks in the floor ... love your setup 🙌🙌🙌

[@jeroldssis]

Get the big square foam tiles to put on the floor. Super comfy to walk on and great insulation. I use them in my tent all the time.

[@141carisma141]

Love the tent setup. A thin piece of plywood would work well under the mattress. And maybe just having some of the same foam tiles that you use in the fishing shack to cover the floor for when it gets really cold would help with the draft

[@GoodBariusOfTheNorth]

I havn't watched you in so long just so I could binge watch em all. It's always a treat to watch someone just get into an adventure I'd do maybe once a year.

[@klokstop]

Maybe worth looking into some coir matting on your floor to reduce the floor drafting. Off cut of coconut matting at your entry exit point for getting the worst of the mud off your footware too. Great set up Mav, good fun vid. Food looked perfect for a winter nights camping 🏕🔥❄️

[@michaelmadrid21]

That's really cool that you have your apparel in Zumiez. Congrats!

[@dmam6447]

The few videos you have made sleeping in that tent have been super awesome, one of my favorites

[@JohnJ502]

I have that exact bed frame and while it didn’t require a box spring, my mattress kept feeling like it was pushing through the slats. I ordered a “bunkie board” off Amazon and it helped a lot.

[@sabrinaarthur9125]

Hi Mav u seriously need a huge mat for the door area, to help with the tracking of dirt and snow, maybe some shelves also to store stuff to make the tent more organized, and some carpet for the floor to help with the cold seeping in. Enjoyed your video...peace

[@grantdodson151]

Great video, as always Mav. Great little camping spot you have there! Maybe a couple of area rugs would help with the cold air coming up from the ground.

[@melissapurdy8684]

When I renovated my camper I bought one of those platform bed frames with no need for a box spring and a memory foam mattress all from Walmart. It’s really comfortable and works well.

[@chuckc6515]

Stash far more wood. Like 5x what was there. Use the pot hole in the stove top. Keep a pot of water on the stove to both humidity the air plus act as heat ballast plus always have hot coco water. Flip that base a s spray in foam installation? Keep the base insulated. Solar + battery for lighting and even heat pads for bed! Find Coleman lanterns at garage sales. Keep five or six hanging in tent

Hey Mav! Love the videos. You may want to look into getting a very thin boxspring (made for memory foam) or just putting some plywood on the bed frame will do wonders for the mattress

Vinyl plank would help retain some heat it normally floats on 1\8 in foam backer. Would look pretty slick out there, and be a lot easier to keep clean. Would be cool to see a multi fuel lantern I haven’t seen one on a KZbin yet.

[@JonHewson825]

I think long term you'll find a twin bed may work better and give you much more floor space. Adding one or even two more white tables will help you with counterspace for cooking a lot. An ottoman can be a good looking storage option. You can also try a clear closet behind the door shoe holder for storing small items.
