Polar Vortex Winter Camping in -32 Degrees With Wood Stove & Tent

[@chuckboy9372]

The thing I love about Steve is that he camps to have fun instead of trying to "see if he could survive".

[@Rick-md3ne]

charles vaughan I think Steve uses camping as an excuse to drink whiskey :)))

[@eddiehernandez8497]

In this weather you gotta know what you are doing or you won't survive

[@2H80vids]

Exactly. He's not trying to prove anything, just enjoying himself. I get the whole "survival" thing but if you've got the gear with you, why not use it? He used the car to get to a beautiful spot that he like, completely deserted, and rather than get cold, wet and dirty, why not just camp beside the car? He knows how to treat himself too, a decent bottle of Scotch and a gourmet(ish) meal. He even "roughed it" a bit by using a plastic cup.👍 Works for me, just subscribed. Cheers from Scotland,🥃 Dougie

[@smartazz61]

I was unaware of of hot tent camping until a year ago. I think it's a fantastic way to spend a couple of hermit type days. You've got nature's television (the fire) and food. Oh yeah, booze too. What else do you need? Well, pussy's always nice, but what do you do with the broad after those five minutes are used up? Oh yeah, put her back in the box she came in 'till next time.

[@chrisw5742]

So in other words he has fun in conditions that would kill other people? Sounds good to me.

[@uselesshero]

I'd love for him to keep stepping it up. "Now is the time for some bree, I've also got these oysters and caviar and now that I've done all this work I'll treat myself to some of this '73 zinfandel." I love camping!

It's amazing that we can watch these videos and learn new things! I understood that in the northern latitudes one could see the sun late into the night, depending on the season. Watching Steve at the 1:15 mark in the video, who knew that I'd be seeing the moon in broad daylight! And to think I didn't even have to crack a book to learn this new fact! Cheers!

@@chrisfrye3707 hi Chris, wishing you all the best and a swift recovery. I hut rock bottom and lost a lot about 5years ago and ended up hospitalised at local psychiatric ward and was there for 5 weeks. Like yourself had severe depression and anxiety was through the roof. I'm still recovering but still get panic attacks and struggle going out alone. I would do anything to help anyone going through this. Always remember the depression can make you feel like your losing your mind but your not, it's just symptomatic of anxiety and depression.i was put in mirtazipine and at higher dose was making me a lot worse. Best advice is give things time as you won't always be like this. I'm say a prayer for both of you. I'm in Glasgow Scotland so probably miles away from were you are. Just post a message on this post and il get back to you if u need someone to talk too. All the best mate🙂

[@forcesightknight]

Almost any two identical tents can be made into winter tent by putting one inside the other, then insulating in between the two. I use the bubble foil, but I left space to stick in some card board as well. Since mine is out in the elements for extended periods of time, I put a few layers of outdoor paint on it as well to seal it better. I would make a video but I think I just explained it.

Lumber always burns hot & fast but it’s great to start it. Then I’d use tree wood & to sleep I’d put unseasoned wood at the bottom. It will dry out & burn much slower so you won’t have to get up as much & will probably have embers in the morning. Wish you knew what those prints were!
