I have seen some really useless camping gadgets these days but that stove is absolutely awesome. And the tent too.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, well said for sure! The hot tent game is pretty new to me, but it definitely has its place and makes for a different experience. The balance is finding the right size stove so your not feeding it all night, but also not going nuts on weight, for me at least. Getting ready to test a few others out and will hopefully have those vids out soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@GodandFamily-61]

Thank you for creating and posting, I appreciate your Ranger experiences and that you give thanks to our Heavenly Father before eating, I recently been researching which hot tent and stove to purchase, your video is entertaining and informative, thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Hey thanks again! Yes the Lord is the only reason I get to enjoy creation! So far I have tried a variety of hot tents, teepee, this one, external frame and a self pop up style hot tent. The price is the biggest advantage on this one and it is a fun style. The external frame, I have one showing the Zeta 1 by Ankhiale, is super easy to set up and incredibly warm but around 7-900 dollars the same with the RBM Up2 mini… it is i er a 1000 bucks but is the easiest and mist comfortable tent yet. It is also huge and heavy, so lots of options out there for sure!👍

Good eye, normally I would scrape down the area but the moisture levels were too high to ignite. I use to do burns in this area when working as a Ranger. Your right though its always good to clear all flammables away! Glad you enjoyed!

.... ✅ .. was going to comment as well ,, forest floors need to be at least cleaned for any type of flamed fire ... always a pet peeve of mine .. and using a pulk to help with the weight , take along a small fire blanket(welding blanket) , cinders can still find a way to pop out the vent holes .. .. since hot tents have made their presence on YT video's ,, there are a couple showing the thin nylon tents catching fire ,, many stoves are too close to the tent walls ,, and of course that means all your gear is gone ... tents can be made to accept a stove pipe ,, but they are not fire retardant materials or even treated ...

My craziest camping story was having my campsite sideswiped by a tornado that was most definitely NOT in the forecast. "Rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms" became six tornadoes plowing through the area in the middle of the night! There is nothing like laying in your tent listening to trees coming down all around you and knowing that the nearest shelter is almost five miles away.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Man that is insane!!! Awesome story though..obviously after the fact. I thought big windstorms with trees dropping was intense, but the thought of tornadoes is pretty intimidating and scary!

[@futuresonex]

@@angryowloutdoors-- It was an interesting experience. The pucker-factor was pretty high there for a few hours, but everyone came out of it OK. There's nothing you can do and nowhere to go. You are where you are, and it's either going to hit you or it's not. So you just say a prayer and hope for the best. I can say that I was very impressed with the Eureka Timberline tent that I was in though. It stood up to the wind just fine and never leaked a drop! It's nearly 20 years later now, and I still have it and still use it. It's sad that they're going out of business now.

[@StevelsCamping]

I love camping in the back country. Do lots. I know someone showing up at camp is a bit nerving. I had one show up at my camp one night about 2 in the morning. Turned out his vehicle was overheating and he saw the glow of the fire I had earlier. I prayed when he showed up that God would take care of everything. He ended up leaving and thanked me for my time and left.

Not really a “camping” story. But I had chased a bull elk down into some pretty nasty country, steep and rugged, completely unprepared for having to stay the night. I ended up sleeping with a tree between my legs to keep from sliding. It’s amazing the things you hear and see, that makes your mind play tricks on you. Moral of the story, be prepared always 🤘🏼 your content is awesome! Thanks for sharing, and please don’t ever take your prayer out. God bless!

[@jameshankinson7659]

@@angryowloutdoors negative! A 13 year old girl smacked him about 2 hours later. I had ended up following his tracks down, and intercepted a different set (that’s what I think at least). He ended up circling back to the top and over the other side, where her and her dad got him, about 100 yards off the trailhead. I ran into them the next morning, once I made it out of the hell hole, and verified it actually was the same bull. As frustrating as it was, I couldn’t help but smile.. that little girl will remember that bull for the rest of her life!

Thank you. The first 6 minutes made the most sense of any video I have seen with a folding stove. I have been looking at this style tent for a while and have been on the fence between it or a teepee hot tent. This really helped me out. Thank you again.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Glad it helped out, I have not tried a teepee style yet, but plan to this season. I also will be testing a freestanding dome style hot tent in the next couple of weeks. I am pretty excited about that one. The Pomoly 70 is a cool design. Drawbacks are the zips get snagged easy on the awning and it tends to bow down in the center without proper tie-outs but all in all for the prices its not a bad single person tent.

[@clarkfamilyoutdoors7417]

My favorite camp food is venison. Usually it’s backstraps, but I love to do steaks, too that I cut out of deer roasts. Sometimes I take a pack of stew meat, sear it a little and then make steamboats with cabbage, onions, garlic and potatoes. Add a couple cold beers and a tish of whisky and it’s a great night in camp! Another favorite fresh fried fish, be it bluegill, crappie or bass. I love to get the tails nice and crispy! What a treat!

I've been looking at picking up this exact tent and stove combo for a while; but I'm trying to decide if it's large enough for two adults and a snuggly dog! Looks like we might be right up against the sides which could be bad with condensation.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Yea, unfortunately I think your right. I did a night with a friend and it was tight, it was not terrible but if you have a large sleep pad then its a squeeze, plus gear and the dog would be on top of you or someone, like you said would be touching the walls a bit. Given I like to have space and not be crammed, so a bit biased!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Awesome video .. Nothing beats thinking about an outing other than being there ... Winter and just cold weather camping can be a good time if you are prepared for it .. I have been in hot tents from an early age ,, used them with Dad and brothers in hunting camps ... Used wall tents over the years but a few years ago bought a Bell tent and love it ,, with a few modifications it's a palace ..... IMO , best hot tents are treated canvas with a stove big enough to heat the space ,, many campers try to get by with smallest stove they can find just to save weight , and find out that's not the answer .... Winter camping requires the right clothing , sleeping bag and pad or cot ,,maybe both .. If not car camping the added weight can be agony on even a fit body so it's time to adapt and put together a pulk sled and get back in the woods where you want to be ... back with the aliens and Bigfoot ..lol.. .. In recent years some of the pack tent manufacturers are selling fold up stoves to put in lightweight tents only by adding a stove jack ,,, some might work but stoves need plenty of clearance to tent walls ,, hot nylon can melt and even become flammable ... Being miles back in the forest with all your gear burned up would not be a good time ... ... Angry neighbor just letting you know that you smoked out his home in the tree ... he's not happy .... Watch for the flying pinecones ....Stay Safe ...

[@angryowloutdoors]

Definitely! Stove size and tent materials are a big factor. This weekend, there is finally enough snow, I get to use my Pulk.

You all would definitely be on top of each other, I would not recommend, especially for an emergency scenario. Look for something very fast to put up with more room. Pomoly has the dome pro which is an external frame, very easy to put up with more room and it is still a hot tent. I have the dome 6 but have not had a chance to do a video on it yet. More expensive though. A tepee tent might be a good option as well. Thanks for watching and hope this helps.

[@mr.miniaturesmodels8465]

Wow! I like this channel… after seeing the tent you chose and you actually backpacking it I’m eager to see more! I’m amazed that you do backpack all that gear.. video equipment, hot tent, sleep system and the stove WITH pipe! I read in the comments your pack weight and while it exceeds what I would do, the fact that you’re kitted out for winter explains the necessary pounds. I’m intrigued. Hopefully you don’t go down the gear swapping trail for the sake of content. New gear is always cool to check out. But there’s a fine line between “this is what works for me and why I use it” and “I need the support for the channel so here’s everything new under the sun”. I really want to add you to my very exclusive subscribed channels. We’ll see.. we’ll see. 😉

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, exclusive is where its at! Ya its definitely a new mode for me..the hot tent setup...got a few more to try out. It has its place and fun features, but the weight is not fun indeed. Thankfully when I am weighed down like this I don't have to hike in to far, I keep it pretty short since I know I will be doing round trips for camera gear and usually a lot of wood prep...😂 And in the end I only use like 20% of my footage...glutton for punishment. The sled is the only salvation come winter time, I can at least throw some weight on that bad boy. Your right about finding the balance, I have more gear to test try but I think overall I will stick to shelters, open air, and probably hot tents...with some gear/tool reviews thrown in. Appreciate the comments!

I am curious as to the reason you purchased the Black version. if you wouldn't mind sharing, i would like to know. I do also own the Stove Hut 70 2.0.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! Pretty much a copy of that classic style. This is made by Pomoly and is called the Stove Hut 70, there is a link to it in the description. It has its pros and cons, I am not impressed with the zippers for the awning, they snag easy. I am getting ready to try a new style dome hot tent that is lined with mylar inside and I expect will be very warm. Heading out hopefully this weekend and should have that video out in a few weeks. In case you want to compare the two styles.

Hot tents are definitely the hot ticket for cool weather camping, but Im curious as to how they do in extreme wind? I'm notorious for my buzard luck in that I seem to bring heavy wind wherever I go to camp. My friends and now my son can attest to this 😆 😆. Good times though out in the element though no matter the weather. It's all about the journey and the epic times in the outdoors.

Haha, one of those guys!!! Just kidding! I dont think this style would do amazing in high winds. I am just getting ready to test a dome style this weekend that I think would hold up really well.

[@jalexand007]

How warm will it stay if you keep the side up?

[@angryowloutdoors]

Welcome to the channel! Just depends on ambient air temp. With the flap by the stove down and the awning up, it will keep it in the 60's near the stove side of the tent, while it is low 30's outside. In between filming I just left it up for a while and it seemed to keep this temperature. I was able to just wear a wool top and be pretty comfortable.

[@christopherdonovan6475]

Do you like this kind of hot tent better then a Teepee hot tent ? I debuting on this one or a teepee tent. Also would there be enough room for another person to sleep in it ?

[@angryowloutdoors]

Great questions! I have not tried a Teepee style, yet. I will be testing one out later this winter along with a dome style which I will test this weekend and have a video out soon. I have slept 2 people in this tent and it was doable, just not much room for the gear.

[@zacd7094]

Setup time? Leaving for this setup or a Nemo ultralight setup.

[@angryowloutdoors]

All in all not bad, just depends on the ground. There are a few too many tieouts for my liking. Sort of unnecessary wind flaps on the back. The main body is quick, but after testing a few other hot tents with poles, i definitely lean towards those. For the price it is a fun little tent but only for the stove factor. Are you planning for snow camp or just fall and spring?

[@zacd7094]

@@angryowloutdoors mainly Texas winters and early spring. So

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@zacd7094 A bit more expensive but both Pomoly and Ankhiale Outdoors have a external frame dome style that are fast setup with option for a stove. By far the fastest is the RBM UP2 Mini, I tested that out and it is amazingly warm and fast setup....kind of like a giant umbrella, but up there in price.

[@Average-man12]

Do you need to worry about fumes from the stove? Is it OK to fall asleep with your head so close to the stove? (Haven't used a hot tent yet)

[@angryowloutdoors]

Great question, there is generally not a high concern for carbon monoxide with hot tents. The fabric is generally somewhat permeable and there is almost always ventilation from the flaps, flooring etc.... With this tent, there is a gap around the stove box on all sides that allows for venting. It is always wise to pickup a cheap, small carbon monoxide detector, which I still take with me just in case. You generally only need to worry if you have a very small area that is sealed tight and even then it is dependent on the burn rate. Hot tents are very safe and designed for this purpose. I am usually too warm with it sealed up tight anyways and have airflow. The long and short is that you just need some ventilation and fresh air coming in, which they almost all have a zip ventilation system or you can zip open a door. I have some other newer hot tent vids up showing different styles and I show the little sensor that I use in those ones. I say find one you like and jump in and enjoy!!!! This tent by RBM is expensive but pretty amazing....here is a link to the video if you want to see a totally different style: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGe0qYlmmL-kn9E

[@Average-man12]

@angryowloutdoors Thanks very much for the advice. I think a carbon monoxide alarm is a good idea for peace of mind. As for tent selection, I'm looking at the Pomoly stovehut 70 or the naturehike massive. Do you have any experience with the naturehike. It seems huge but possibly a bit too heavy for hiking.

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@Average-man12 I am not familiar with the nature hike but ya weight is always a challenge. The stovehut is manageable. The biggest downside is the zippers get snagged easy and can be frustrating. There are some lightweight Tipi options out there as well. I did a vid on a small brand name and it was super light and roomy but a pain in deep snow.

[@jasonclark3781]

So has your tent leaked like all the others that have used this tent?

[@angryowloutdoors]

I watched a ton of videos about the same topic before buying this one and well before I started the KZbin channel. The version 2.0, which this one is, supposedly had fixed the problem. When I first got it, I set it up in the yard and let the sprinklers run on it for about half an hour and found no leaks. I then thought well lets just leave it up, I let it stand for about a month into the rain season with no leaks until it collapsed from a snow storm, the stakes pulled out, and that was the only time I found leakage...obviously from pooled snow sitting on it while collapsed. It does however leak through the floor, which is fairly common for all tents without a footprint or groundsheet. Otherwise I have been impressed with it overall. Thanks for watching!

Quick question…when burning in a new stove with a roll out stack, how long should the burn be ? TIA

[@angryowloutdoors]

Welcome and great question! I would build up the fire to capacity and burn for about 10-15 minutes. Both the stove and pipe should be brought to a capacity, or close to, sized fire. Time is not quite as important as heat. Once it is hot enough, if it is made out of titanium, you will generally see a color change (blueing) on the metal. I built my fire up in mine to capacity, when it arrived, and let it die down once it was at a full roar. Type of wood and temps can play variables, but either way you just want it hot enough to build a memory on the pipe and the second part is to burn off the factory oils that are placed on them in production...mostly so you are not breathing that in inside of your tent. Hope this helps.

What was your weight and how far did you walk in? I find when I load up for winter like this and I’m carrying in excess of 40lbs I can’t do more than like 4 miles or so comfortably especially if there’s a lot of terrain changes.

[@angryowloutdoors]

I hear that, this was just a very short hike in...nothing much at all. The pack I have was at its capacity and is more of a summer bag. I try to do the majority of my outings in the snow when I can haul my pulk, that way weight becomes much easier. I can usually load the sled pretty heavy with minimal drag. My average pack weight with cameras, tripods, batteries, emergency gear, etc is usually around 60-65lbs. When I am not filming, I can usually knock it down to 30-40 and depending on the pack that is pretty bearable, but I agree 4-5 miles is plenty at that weight and bombing uphills....especially off trail bushwacking! What part of the country are you in...or what type of terrain and pack?

@@angryowloutdoors most of my trips are in the national forests in Alabama. Bankhead and Talladega. Very few flat areas especially along the pinhoti in Talladega which is also very bouldery in some areas. Normal backpacking trip I can go lighter and cover more ground but not when bushcrafting.

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@benwallace5389 Yes, you definitely pay in weight to play with bushcrating gear! haha

@@angryowloutdoors ... I was going to comment just as you did ... when the desire and inner burn to get out in the woods ,, just change up the carry system and put together a pulk ,, it's a whole new game that keeps the mind working on the usable modifications that make a cold weather outing not only bearable but actually fun ... even if all you do is lay back and watch an Angryowloutdoors video ,, but warm and cozy ...

What is your favorite hot tent? Thinking about this one but not sure how it compares to more traditional hot tents

[@angryowloutdoors]

I do enjoy this tent for the porch style awning and price point, but my favorite right now is a new one to the market called the zeta 1 by Ankhiale Outdoors, amazing insulating properties for extreme cold and its a dome style with external poles that are easier to put up. Big price difference between the two though. I plan on testing a teepee style in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching.

[@meowzic]

@@angryowloutdoors looking forward to you opinions on other hot tents. That Zeta 1 looks amazing! Not sure if I'm that committed at almost a grand though and at 17lbs it doesn't seem like a backpacking tent. I really would love a tent with insulation properties though.

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@meowzic Yes, it is a investment for sure. It is definitely not for backpacking. Best use to me is using a pulk/sled to throw it in then weight is not much of an issue. I started with the Pomoly Stovehut because of the style, weight and pricepoint...got it on a Black Friday deal. It allowed me to not be too invested, I totally get not forking out your hard earned dough on an unknown!

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@meowzic As far as backpack. I really like the US Military Medium Molle 2 Rucksack, I found one at a used military site and spent about $100. It is very durable and comfortable and easy to expand with additional pouches. I will leave a link to one on Amazon you can check out. The Vanquest Gear like the pack in this video is very nice, a bit pricier but this one the Trident is pushing it for the load that I have on it. Amazon link to Medium Molle: amzn.to/3vII0CQ

Hello Edgar and greetings from Dublin, 🇮🇪. This hot tenting malarkey looks like great craic (fun) and an ideal way to enjoy a night amongst the forest wildlife. Our weather here doesn't come with much if any winter snow, however your 'HT' looks the bomb and obviously extends your camping season. Food for thought indeed 😊. Can i just say to both you and other HT campers to purchase a carbon monoxide alarm just to keep safe. Regards and continued success with your channel L.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Hey there, glad to have you. I love hearing where folks tune in from! The Hot Tent is a unique creature for sure and quite the kick! Great thoughts on the carbon monoxide detector. I do leave a gap, so that enough fresh air can come into the tent, but in other models this might not be possible, so that is a good idea. Thank you!

[@mtweddle52]

Actual question: Whats the risk of cooking like this in your tent for attracting bears or other potentially curious carnivores? I've always thought you were supposed to cook a decent distance away from your main camp and hang your food supplies in a bear bag. Serious question as someone interested in trying hot tent camping for the first time.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Thats a great question: In most areas and depending on the season this is true. Where I am at there is generally little chance of attracting more than mice, but that is also because I usually go out in the fall and winter. We have black bears here but they are very skittish and holed up this time of year. Just learn about whatever area you are going to camp in and ask about types of predators. Can usually check with a local ranger station. ThanKs for watching and hoped this helps.

I got off work on a Friday afternoon and the wife and myself went down to South Missouri to go trout fishing. We had to drive about 3 hours to get there after we loaded the Van up. I stopped at a roadside picnic area around 10pm while we were asleep a bunch of kids came and started shooting fireworks because it was the fourth of July weekend we never paid them no mind they never bothered us and left then a Mo Hiway Patrol Trooper stop in and started asking bunch of questions and asked if we were shooting fireworks I told him about the kids but I don't think he believed me anyway he said we couldn't sleep there because there's no camping in rest areas so we drove down to the fishing spot where I could get some sleep.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, not quite as planned Im sure! But at least no rogue fireworks ended up in your stuff!

[@ChromeForDays]

I was hammock camping with friends and at 4AM I had to get up to go to the bathroom. Nearby there was a HUGE mountain lion just sitting there watching me (its eyes lit up like lanterns in the beam of the flashlight) . . after 15-20 minutes it didn't move so I made a tactical withdrawal to my Jeep and slept in it instead. When the sun came up I went back to my hammock and found paw prints all around my hammock and I don't know if they were made before or after I woke up to go pee . . .

[@angryowloutdoors]

Ohhhh mannn, Cats are the scariest of all! That is an insane story, man good call on the withdrawal! I think my bladder would just stop functioning at that point and be like....nope, your never going pee again! Thanks for the awesome story...well awesome in hindsight!

[@ChromeForDays]

​@@angryowloutdoors Yep, scared the crap out of me :D I make sure to carry bear spray and a firearm when I'm out camping. I live in a state that has both cats and bears (though people are probably more dangerous than the animals).

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@ChromeForDays Good thinking, and I hear that!

[@DadTough]

Crazy story is while bivouacking with the military I heard someone approaching my tent. Next thing I know, they’re urinating on my tent. I bust out of the tent and start yelling before I seen who it was. It was my Sergeant Major and he was drunk.

[@angryowloutdoors]

hahah oh man that is good stuff 😂. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your service👊

[@Uk.wildman]

Try bigfoot walking around your tent rubbing his hand up and down on the tent absolutely terrifying

[@angryowloutdoors]

That would do it!

[@johnthomas8263]

WHY IS EVERYTHING BARND NEW? :

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, well thank you for the compliment! I am usually concerned about folks saying my stuff is dirty! If you saw it up close you would be surprised. The only newer item, about 2 years old, is the tent and stove...second outing with it. The sleeping bag and pad are 16 years old and the tools have been hard rode for about 4 years. The Vanquest Bag I just got this summer and have been testing it out in my other vids! Hope this answered your question, thanks for checking out the vid!

[@TheFlounderPounder]

I would carry a SS pan.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Good call! I definitely need to invest in some better pans!

[@jamescannon7392]

Why he look like Jason Kelce tho

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, thats a first!

AngryOwlOutdoors meets AngryStormtrooper! Protip: Internet is borderless. English is widely spoken (or at least understood) around the world. You most likely get viewers outside USA. Guess how much sense does these "35 degrees" or "65 degrees" make for anyone outside USA? I have come across channels that either say all measurements in both systems OR at least add text to the screen when editing to let the rest of the world know how cold/warm the air actually was outside and inside the tent. Sometimes I wonder if tubers in USA wants their channel to be viewed ONLY by people in USA. They just don't want their channel to grow further? Just food for thought...

[@angryowloutdoors]

Thanks for the input… angry storm trooper would be a great channel name! I am so used to watching European outdoor channels who only say temps in C and am just used to googling it in a snap to see the conversion to F, but definitely a good Tip to throw it on the screen!👊

[@ajeinola]

@@angryowloutdoors yeah, I'm used to google that too. But when some tubers add the measurements to the screen in C it's pure gold. Makes the viewing experience so nice and is an advantage against every other tuber that does not do this little perk. European tubers should add measurements for US viewers too, should go both ways.

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@ajeinola Right on! Thanks!

careful chopping wood on a rock. can easily damage your axe

Definitely, gotta keep control and just do light hits… good call!

Not true, I do too.

[@angryowloutdoors]

@@meowmoew6147 Curious do you generally prefer the "no talking" videos...ASMR style? Just trying to gauge viewers. I get some people that want more talking and some that want zero! haha.

My wife and I have a cabin in northern Cal somebody broke in and stole my chainsaw besides that we have a good time up there.
