Cheers Chris. Thank you.

[@patriciawilson5950]

I find myself rewinding your drone-photography-music segments over and over. They are so beautiful!

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks Patricia. Glad you enjoy them.

Your editing and music is just wonderful. Also, I want to steal your sweet pup 🐶

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thank you. I miss that little dog. It’s not the same without him.

[@RyanSaundercook]

I've been so tempted to get into winter camping. I wish hot tents and stoves weren't so expensive.

[@cereal8383]

I agree. There’s such a big upfront cost with winter camping.

[@toshselfpropelled]

It’s a big upfront hit (tent cost more then my first car!!!) but I will get many many years of use out of the gear and the backcountry can be so beautiful and peaceful in the winter. In my opinion, it’s worth it.

[@bugandmitz]

Tosh, Beautiful scenery as always! Love the new tent! Thanks for sharing!

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thank you.

[@swiftypaddler]

That cot looks like a nice option when weight/distance is not a huge factor!

[@toshselfpropelled]

Pretty comfortable to sit and sleep on but I wouldn’t want to drag it into the backcountry.

[@newdisc]

Congrats on the hot tent! 👍

[@shaungallagher9025]

Thanks Tosh, great setup, gotta love the thick cut bacon cook up 😂👍

[@toshselfpropelled]

It was delicious. Thanks Shaun.

[@Aaronc2193]

I enjoy and appreciate the effort in your videos. Keep up the amazing work.

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks Aaron.

[@stevefrompeterborough4007]

Very nice setup, perfect for 1-2 people and of course Cooper.

[@toshselfpropelled]

Yea, it’s pretty close to prefect!

[@Tents.and.Timber]

OMG you make this look so enjoyable. We are definitely looking forward to this years hard water season. Ps. neat tent and wood stove.

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks T&T. Winter seems very slow arriving this year!

[@Tents.and.Timber]

@@toshselfpropelled soon, very soon!

[@JeffMacCullough]

Nice new tent. It seemed reasonably straight forward to setting up. Thanks for sharing.

[@toshselfpropelled]

It’s very straight forward.

[@kellybliss1561]

Love the new tent, Cooper seems to approve as well. Keep up the amazing drone footage!

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thank you so much Kelly.

[@serenaliu2142]

Loved this! Wish the video was longer. Cooper is the best! 🥰

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thank you. I agree, he is! 🐕‍🦺

[@Reindeer_Games]

Wish the interior side poles had a cotter pin to lock into the top plastic bracket

[@toshselfpropelled]

I know what you mean. I made an adjustable ridge line with para cord to hold the two “Y” connectors on the ridge pole. It helps but it can still be a little awkward to get the poles all upright.

[@Bryan24k8]

Splitting wood is like meditation

[@toshselfpropelled]

Big time

[@luciereadman4003]

Nice setup Tosh, oh and that breakfast looked yummy. What a sweetheart you are setting up Cooper so nicely for bed. Looking forward to your winter adventures!

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks Lucie. We were pretty comfortable in there.

[@sunbunny1236]

Loved the video👁🦉👁

[@Jon-Hill-ADKHTR]

Great review… it was very helpful thanks!

[@toshselfpropelled]

You’re welcome.

[@teriscallon]

looked cozy

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

I see they've added vertical supports to it 👍🏻 Great setup 👌 Enjoyed it

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks Ray 👍

Hi from Newfoundland Great video buddy

[@toshselfpropelled]

Hello there! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.

[@FreakofNature1]

Ahhh so relaxing..Pretty sweet rig Toshie, got room for three in there?😁

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks bud. There’s always room!

Thanks so much Alex.

[@teste38]

Que imagens lindas, esse tenta é bem legal e muito quente precisa também para não passar frio né?

[@trikelife4960]

Very cool setup

[@Wblair8772]

Nice set up. I have communicated with Snowtrekker trying to decide between the 8x8 and the 8x10 and he mentioned the High Country to me for the uses I told him I wanted it for so it’s great to see one in use for reference. I have the same candle lantern and can get an all night burn out of one candle. They are awesome. Subscribed.

[@toshselfpropelled]

That's great. I found Snowtrekker very easy to work with and I'm really happy with the High Country. Thanks for subscribing.

[@MichealBacon]

Wesley, get the 8x10 simply because once you use the 8x8 a few times, you'll wish you had the 8x10 (Short Wall or High Country). It always happens. Don't get me wrong, I love my 8x8 for solo. But the 8x10 is PERFECT size for a luxury solo or if you want to add a buddy...and very little difference in weight and bulk.

[@Wblair8772]

@@toshselfpropelled another question; any issue with the vertical stove pipe of the High Country vs the angled pipes of their other models? I’m wondering about sparks / crap getting on the tent or rain water when the stove isn’t lit? I may be over thinking this but I’ll likely only have one so want it to be perfect. Thanks

[@toshselfpropelled]

@@Wblair8772 I haven't had any issues with the vertical pipe and I find it easier then have to prop it up with sticks or a pole.

[@yonaoshi1995]

hi is this tent is 8x8？ Is it too small for one person to use? Are you using a cot? Please tell me if there is a reason why you did not choose 8X10 regards

[@DavidLucas-tg2zy]

Great video Tosh! Hope you do more of these. How is that hot tent, have you had it in any rain yet? I’ve always done mostly 3 season camping, but interested in some winter camping. I’m 6’3 also and like the fact that you can stand up in it with room. Keep rolling with the footage, it’s awesome

[@toshselfpropelled]

I'm very happy with the tent. I haven't been out in the rain yet but I'm sure it'll happen at some point. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Great Tosh, been wondering about a hot tent. I live on the west coast so my issue is rain , not snow so wondering how a canvas tent does in down pours,any ideas?

[@toshselfpropelled]

I don’t think it would do very well in heavy rain but they do make rain flys that would help keep drier.

[@canajian]

👋😎👍

[@toshselfpropelled]

👍🍻

[@kristingrounds4163]

Great video! Love the tent! What seasoning did you put on your dinner?

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thank you. I used Montreal steak spice.

[@ROYAL2355]

Sure beats the 10 man tents and Coleman stove.

[@toshselfpropelled]

You’re not kidding.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

That’s a sweet tent set up! Is that the same model Joe has? Teunis and Brittany have the 10x13 Outfitter and it’s palatial. Too big for just me. What knife are you using? It looks like a Nessmuk style blade

[@toshselfpropelled]

Thanks Alan. I think Joes tent is 8x10. Mine is 9.5x9.5. I think the high country has a slightly higher ridge and steeper walls. The knife was a gift from Joe. It is a Nessmuk style blade.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

@@toshselfpropelled Thanks Tosh. I’m sure you’ll get many, many years out of both. As soon as I hit the lottery I’m getting a snow trekker and a KniCo. I’m getting mine with a stove Jack cover, back window w/cover and screens all around because…North Carolina 😆

[@mattromeo1040]

shocked that your camp-cot wasn't of the tactically acquired variety

[@toshselfpropelled]

I have a old one kicking around someplace. Pretty beat up though.

[@mattromeo1040]

@@toshselfpropelled they're heavy compared to what I've seen civvy side

[@richard_west]

How did you choose the size of the stove? Thanks!

[@toshselfpropelled]

When I ordered my tent it came with a 5” chimney jack so I found the largest stove from Esker with a 5” chimney.

[@yonaoshi1995]

hi is this tent is 8x8？ Is it too small for one person to use? Are you using a cot? Please tell me if there is a reason why you did not choose 8X10 regards

[@toshselfpropelled]

The tent is the 9.5x9.5 High Country. I did use a cot in this video.

[@yonaoshi1995]

Thank you The tent looks small I'm sure I'm 8 Nice video!

[@TSThompson]

The ones I’ve seen in the past were canvas. Where can I get a canvas tent. I’ve had several non canvas tents and they’re not as good.

[@toshselfpropelled]

I like the canvas much better for winter use. My tent is from SnowTrekker www.snowtrekkertents.com If you’re in Canada, Lure of the North Outfitters sells them. lotnoutfitters.com

[@MrRcrider1]

I'll tell you what, with that small axe he went throught that wood perty easy I'd hate to meat him in a dark alley!

[@toshselfpropelled]

Haha!! I usually don’t carry the axe in dark alleys😂🍻

What size is this tent?
