I Tried Budget Hot Tent Camping

[@yetiibob8407]

Don't light that stove untill those beans have passed 😂

[@DaleyOutdoors]

[@JesseCase]

The entire line of Naturehike Massif and Dune tents are awesome hot tents for the money and have already built quite a following in the few months they have been on the market! They have pretty much became the new go to free standing tent for hot tent camping. So you definitely made a good choice! You do need to get a spark arrestor for the top of your stove pipe though, or you will end up with a bunch of melted pin holes in the top of your tent! They are a must when using synthetic hot tents!

Well its Hot Tent weather for the next week or so, hope you get out in it. I am converting a tent into hot tent capability since I only go hammock camping now. I was wondering about putting a bit of those metal pan scrubbers in the top of the chimney as a spark arrester, because people say small sparks land on the nylon tent and burn a small hole in it, which then lets in rain. I dont think it would block the smoke at all, not the entire scrubber but a thinned out bit, with a couple of holes drilled in the top of the chimney so that a bit of metal wire can go through to secure the spark stopper.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

How could you resist the 'independent external account building transparent internal space comfortable camping'?! Sounds awesome! Also, who's using a flamethrower in the background?

I have the two person, it's an amazing tent. I love that you have the option to sleep four but you can also take out one of the sides if you were doing a long stay with just two people. This is what I do more often than not and it becomes a great little living room during the winter.

[@missogyny4921]

To turn the stove down you need to partially close the air slots beneath the door. You shouldn’t have it so hot that the chimney glows - that will melt one of those rubber stove jacks (now I wonder how I found that out?)!

[@allieandmaria]

Thanks for the link Mr Daley. Bit of a task finding it elsewhere as it appears to have more than one name! Anyhoo, it's now winging its way to me as I'm using a converted NH Opalus 2 at the moment and the headroom ain't great. 👍

Chilling inside with the snow coming down around you. Perfection.

[@Rando-user-zm1fx]

In winter on the fist -20 Fahrenheit I definitely go camping. I also go out when I know there's going to be a snowstorm because it's beautiful. Hot tenting actually sucks unless it's minimum four-person tent. Even then, it's actually pretty lame and too freaking hot. Just get the right layers and sleep system and it'll work out. 🍻 from Minnesota

[@TimelordUK]

Thanks Ben for this excellent video. Not many UK KZbinrs do hot tent camping so please keep doing these. I hope you will take this out in the depths of winter surrounded by snow. Is that living area big enough for two people to sit and chat sat on chairs around the fire? I was quite concerned at how hot that pipe got, and there was no spark arrestor at the top, and no way to guy line that pipe in case of heavy wind (from the elements, not Letter Beans) great video. Thank you

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks! Planning to take it out again over winter 👍

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I am not a fan of the whole hot tent craze, but I like the design of the tent. Enough room to sit inside and cook on a wet day.

[@lingerslongest]

1:43 oh look, a paddling pool :)

[@drsquirrel00]

Obviously too much heat going up the pipe to make it glow like that, shows how much is being wasted. Though it doesn't help that the pipe material is thin so makes it look worse than it is.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Like the look of that tent 👍 defo get a spark arrestor mate and wouldn't really recommend heat log as they get too hot and warp the titanium. Also try to only burn dry well seasoned wood - minimize sparks and not pine - too much resin will block ur chimney 👍

[@BurtReynoldstash]

I was just about to say the same thing about those logs. I spent a week doing the river Spey in my canoe 🛶 the other week. Hot tent made the trip a lot more comfortable, fun, enjoyable after a day paddling

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks for the tips 👍

[@BurtReynoldstash]

@@DaleyOutdoors no worries, on my trip I took a bag of home bargains silver birch firewood. ( just in case). Of a no wood scenario. No problem sourcing dead standing dry firewood. We arrived at the Boat of Balliefurth campsite. Not a stick, I was patting myself on the back all evening. Happened on the coldest night of the trip. Snowed ❄️ I’ve used it at home in the wood burner. Soul wood I think it’s called. ( ?£4.00) Perfect size pieces for TI stoves A hot tent in winter turns camping into “ out of the weather”. To the front room experience. 😂

[@Chilternwildcamper]

Wow ive just looked up that river, must be heaven outside of midge season. Can you wild camp along it as long as respectful of farming? ​@BurtReynoldstash

[@BurtReynoldstash]

@ outside of midge and fly fishing season. Lower temps but not as busy either. ( I watched. Stripey hat guy at glen feshie camping a few days before and he had loads of midges. Didn’t see any myself Excellent white water sections, with very serious consequences like fallen trees in the river, across the river Etc. it was fantastic. Longed to paddle the river for years. We tended to camp on the little islands. But it’s that remote you can wild camp no problem. Leave no trace etc. we found lots of pre used campsites. It’s a 4 day paddle 80 odd miles. Loads of whisky distilled along the river banks. Whisky, hot tent with a fire. Top stuff

[@johnd8538]

Also if you're taking advantage of the beanz deal yourself, that carbon monoxide monitor could come in very handy indeed.

[@charlesmorgan6886]

Make sure if you ever burn wood in that stove that you put a spark arrestor on top of the pipe so embers don't shoot out and catch things on fire. Especially your tent while you're in it.

[@radjrjbd97]

[@chrisbardell]

Any precautions we should be made aware of when camping in a hot tent and having Letter Beanz?

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Always keep the vents open and a naked flame nearby.

[@olivervangulick3449]

Make sure the stove pipe is the highest point! You had the door angled up whigh might make smoke leak out the door!

[@DaleyOutdoors]

I didn't. It looks that way on some shots as I use a wide angle lens.

[@TheRamblingHiker]

The ones in your links seem to have a way of controlling the amount of air that goes inside the stove - from the front. That and the flue should control the temperature I guess. I couldn't see how it'd work on your model though.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

There’s a sliding plate on the front that lets air in

[@grahamscothern4319]

Looks a great bit of kit I really fancy a hot tent it’s just finding somewhere that lets you do it. Sign me up for your beans please !!👏👏😂 Atb Graham

[@DaleyOutdoors]

[@freeforester1717]

Nice tent. A tad heavyish, but not as heavy as my NH Canyon 2. You may want to put a tarp over the tent for persistently overnight heavy rain, though.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

@@agapelove916 will let you know after winter

[@allieandmaria]

Condensation is minimal whilst the stove is burning. However, you should not sleep with the stove burning, and some condensation will undoubtedly form overnight.

[@X3r0_G]

interested. will have to wait a while though, it's now £230 for the tent alone after 3 days. I guess that means you're now officially an 'influencer' 🙂Folks, if you're thinking of subscribing to the wonderful letter-beans, make sure you tick the optional "include toast" option. It's a mere additional 100% cost (bargain) and is nearly always only a bit soggy and is sometimes mould free. What's not to like?

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Search for the tent name on AliExpress and you can get it cheaper from other sellers 👍🫡

Managed to order it yesterday for £177. I think it's £192 today. Keep checking.

[@Connollyoutdoors]

So you think you can do the old grizzly Gaz red light “something is outside the tent jump scare trick” , Eh?? lol great video. As a Canadian bloke who hot tent camps a lot in extreme cold temps I think your stove was too hot meaning damper it down using the pipe and air flow vents. This will control the heat a bit better. Also don’t use those bagged logs, use hardwoods they burn cleaner and more efficiently. I always get a laugh out of your videos and still can’t sometimes tell if you’re serious or joking. I think it’s a combo of both!! Good stuff mate. Look forward to to seeing you hot tenting but in real cold!! 🥶

Did you smell any smoke? Either leaks or descending back from the chimney outlet? I'm extremely allergic to wood smoke these days, it makes me asthmatic and so sadly I think a hot tent is probably a no-no for me, as are campfires.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Nope, didn’t smell any at all.

[@allieandmaria]

Some will escape when you open the door to add fuel.

[@andrewg9677]

​@@allieandmaria I discussed it with my son who is a firefighter. He said that he has experienced a hot tent when we was camping with cadets or his DofE gold. His advice was not to do it. Basically you have a fire inside a tent. He said his experience was trying to get the smell out of his kit the next day. More alarming is the cancer risk from all the VOCs that you can't see. I've noticed that wood smoke rises because it's hot, but some of it sinks as it cools and there will be compounds you can't see or smell. For me it is a lovely cosy idea but I won't be doing it, especially as my respiratory system can't even cope with a distant campfire these days. This is partly why I bought a Helinox cot. I figured that my nose being a foot off the ground I won't be inhaling pollutants from other people's campfires that linger or waft around at ground level.

1. Yes the glowing red pipe is normal, but it's not so normal to keep the damper open that wide for any length of time. 2. If you intend to burn real wood in that stove, you should install a spark arrestor on the top of the chimney. A couple of sparks on that tent and you're homeless - or dead. 3. Frankly, a small wood stove in that tent is a PITA. When the temperature gets cold I prefer to use a small butane heater like the Kovea Cupid butane heater. It would work well in that tent paired with your CO monitor and ventilation. 4. I had the two-person version of that tent, but IMO it's not a good tent in the summer at all - far too hot. I don't do enough winter camping to justify the cost. 5. Does your sponsor ship to the US?

Were you maybe a bean counter in a former life? I was, and I frequently compare a can of Heinz beans versus the Sainsbury's own brand, counting the contents spread out on my kitchen table. You can also weigh the beans, and the tomato sauce, for a full value assessment. On topic. I'm not doing hot tent camping until Lidl have one in their middle aisle. I'm betting their stove pipe won't, like yours, be made from bacofoil.
