Hot Tent Camping - Mountain Solitude | Staying Warm On A Cold Night

In this video I head out for my first hot tent trip of the fall/winter season. I’m excited to get out and bring you along to taste the crisp, cool mountain air adventuring through the thick woods. I find a beautiful mountain stream and follow it back to a beautiful spot to solo camp for the night. The hot tent is a Pomoly Stove Hut 70, it coupled with my little titanium wood stove makes for a warm relaxing night and a perfect stove top for a Pad Thai dinner! Timestamp Chapters Below.

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.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Man, I don't think I knew they were gone! Lame! Thanks for sharing the story!

Those pine needles under the campstove/firebox makes me nervous... glad you had no issues.

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!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.... ✅ .. 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 ...

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!

[@Alfahippie]

That’s the most metal/goth looking tent i’ve ever seen, you should train some wild crows and a wolf to hang out by it😁🤟

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 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.

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]

[@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.

I think my 2 craziest experiences while camping where having a black bear walk through the camp ground we were staying at and having people walk up and try to pet said bear. The 2nd is even less positive and that was having the DCNR storm our campsite because they heard our group laughing a little passed “quiet” time. I honestly don’t think we were being loud at all. The came charging in through the bush shouting “DCNR police” then started looking around our campsite for alcohol because this particular camp group is an alcohol free campground

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, people do some seriously strange stuff! The DCNR move sounds pretty lame, can always approach people in a tame and friendly manner...this coming from a previous Park Ranger, no need for the aggression in those situations! Thanks for the comments and for watching!

@@angryowloutdoorsit was definitely off putting. I was always raised to respectful towards other campers and do my best to do so.

[@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.

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 ?

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 😊.

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!

[@philbarbetta1213]

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.

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.

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?

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.

@@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.

@@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.

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!

I would carry a SS pan.

[@angryowloutdoors]

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

[@debrajones8133]

Why have a stove when you still have a open tent ? The cold air still gets inside ?

[@angryowloutdoors]

Thanks for watching, The panels zip shut at night and traps the heat to a pretty high degree. It got up to 85 near the roof and 65 at sitting level. Once the stove goes out though, the cold does indeed work its way back in.

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!

[@angryowloutdoors]

I think I’m the only one watching these camping videos on mute.

[@angryowloutdoors]

Haha, thanks for watching though!

[@meowmoew6147]

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.
