Island Hot Tent Camping - 4 Days in our Snowtrekker!

Come along as we paddle out to a remote island and spend 4 days hot tent camping in our Snowtrekker canvas tent. We enjoy warm weather on our private island and the comfort of base camping in a hot tent.
This was our first time on this lake and it was nice to explore a new area in the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails. It was also a bonus to catch trout on this shoulder season canoe trip.

[@TheOutdoorSeeker]

Which drone are you using? Looks very good.

[@AleconAdventures]

Dji mavic mini 2. I had really good lighting which helped and I added some contrast and a little bit of saturation in post. Thanks

Bitchin island, Bitchin eats, Bitchin tent....but so disappointed you diched the aviators. Thanks for posting!

[@AleconAdventures]

😆It was a pretty chill few days with unbelievable weather for that time of the year. Oh don't worry I haven't ditched the aviators, they will back again! Thanks for watching!

No better way to spend a long weekend. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@AleconAdventures]

You got that right! Thanks Derek

Great video Alex and Paige. Thanks for sharing

[@AleconAdventures]

Our pleasure! Thanks for checking out this adventure!

[@rickfromvirginia]

Great to see another video from you! I have to say that is an awesome hot tent! I like the way that it is constructed! Perfect to spend time and fill secure from those wild Coyotes! Also a good plan to see fishing as part of your trip! All in all it looked like a perfect time to spend in the great outdoors! Definitely a big thanks for taking the time to share your adventure!

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey Rick, our Snowtrekker hot tent is pretty nice and just the right size for the two of us. I was surprised how many coyotes we heard that one night on the mainland. They were very close to where we gathered firewood. It was a very comfortable trip and it was a bonus to catch that trout. Thanks for taking the time to watch this adventure!

[@MichealBacon]

Do you guys ever have any issues with black bear from cooking in your tent outside the winter season? In this video it appears to be autumn when black bear are still active and searching for food.

[@AleconAdventures]

We haven't had any issues but there is always that possibility. We make a point to keep the tent extra clean during the shoulder seasons. On this trip there was so much hunting going on in the area around us that bears would probably have avoided the area. Lots of gun shots! Thanks for watching!

[@alphawhiskyadventures]

The Snowtrekker does really well in the rain without a tarp. It’s heavier when you pack out, and the garage is best to dry it in. I like the tarp idea to add an extra insulation in winter and shed heavy wet snow.

[@AleconAdventures]

Oh good to know! I think I would still feel safer packing the tarp during shoulder seasons just in case. It's pretty neat how they've made a custom tarp for their tents. Thanks for the info!

[@jimhanson7476]

What a great outing, well done..

[@AleconAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Jim

[@Nunya_Binness]

Beautiful place!

[@AleconAdventures]

It really is! Thanks

[@l214laus]

Good to have you both out adventuring again. Twin moon shot at 04:05, howls of the locals was good fun. They'd probably like to join in the bacon, eggs and bagels breakfast, given half a chance. Cheers from Paul @ south east Australia 🌏

[@AleconAdventures]

We are great adventure partners and it was nice to get out on one more canoe trip together. Thanks Paul!🍻

I thought that was bigfoot yelling lol

[@scottengh1175]

Nice. Like the reflector oven against wood stove. Works well. Splake is speckled and lake trout hybrid. Wisconsin has a coho, walleye and muskie hybrid. Called a Cowallski. Tastes like a braut.

[@AleconAdventures]

That's an interesting hybrid, it would be nice to catch and eat that. Thanks for watching Scott!

[@dougmacrae6003]

If there’s one thing I know about Alec, he likes touching trout.

[@AleconAdventures]

You're not wrong 😂

[@herbsmith6871]

Very nice! Glad I found you guys 🤠

[@AleconAdventures]

Us too! Thanks for watching!

[@moeedahmedbaig3605]

Another great video, you guys are true outdoor adventurer. Your winter camping videos really motivates me for this winter adventure.

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey bud, that's nice of you to say. There's lots of ways to winter camp and the best way to improve your skills is to get out on trips. You will make mistakes and learn from those experiences. Winter travel is less forgiving so know your limits but get out there and enjoy this beautiful season. Thanks for watching!

[@jacqueline7118]

Wonderful trip! Really like the tarp with the hot tent, makes it more multi-purpose. It is a nice option for cold rain. :) You have a great cook there, Paige makes some wonderful meals! Thanks for sharing. :) :)

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey Jacqueline, that tarp will come in handy during shoulder season trips. Paige is a wonderful cook and I appreciate every meal she makes. Thanks for your kind comments!

[@ianmacrae4963]

Nice little trip Alec. And hey, why not be out on an island in the middle of a beautiful lake this time of year. No bugs, fresh, crisp air. Must have been a little more work to portage the hot tent in but definitely has its rewards. Looks like you two are living the good life! Keep adventuring.

[@AleconAdventures]

There was only one portage into that lake but we had to double carry with the hot tent/stove. It was definitely worth it to have a lake all to ourselves away from the main lake with cottages. Thanks for watching Ian!

[@nancyw761]

What model of snow trekker tent do you have?

[@AleconAdventures]

8x10 Crew and we love it!

[@alexs3447]

Hey fellow langford owners . Great trip ,especially going after some splake. Wish you got more . The hot tent was a nice touch.

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey bud, it was great to get another trout in the Langford. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@alexs3447]

@@AleconAdventures Never had a trout in my langford. But some nice bass and pickeral.

[@TheOutdoorSeeker]

You had a few glorious days. I really enjoyed your trip. East Paint?

[@AleconAdventures]

Perfect weather for November and yes it was nice to check out East Paint. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCampingCanuck]

Enjoyed this. What's the the name of that oven accessory? Cheers!

[@AleconAdventures]
