Thanks for sharing...

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks buddy!

[@Jax4umalta]

I can’t blame Simon at the end. I would want to stay as well. I cracked up when you pushed Esme in the water. Nice little trip it looks like. It’s going to rain here all weekend and I have been traveling so much lately I think I’m just gonna set up the tent in the backyard for a couple of weeks. Nothing like some good old backyard camping. Cheers MICHAEL.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it Jacqueline!! Hahaha - Esme can be a little hesitant sometimes and a gentle encouragement can help her get started! Sometimes she just jumps right in! I wish my backyard was big enough to camp in!! Sounds like a great idea for some fresh air during the warmer nights!! Best wishes Michael! 😉

Great stuff!

Yay 😊 I am first to comment. Love ❤️ your furry supervisors. Cheers 🍻 from East Coast Canada.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yay! Thank you!

[@PuskwaskaOutdoors]

Surprising how far you made it across that first spot before you got stuck, I’d of been digging out the old range finder to make sure I could reach the trees with the winch before I tried that with tires under me 🤣 Nice camp spot 👍

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yea - I was riding high on the muskeg for most of it - going slow is the trick to not breaking through - but alas! It got me in the end! 😄

[@arthurhorvath2076]

Your getting a lot of gear for a overnight trip. All most clamping lol 😆but u like to take care of your puppy's. Try a shicabob .let veg meat sit in ziplock with Italian dressing, use steel rods . Good eats 😋. Arth

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks for the tips Arthur!

[@markchristopher829]

Hi Im 6" 3 320 will this tent fit me?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Short answer is no! Take a look at the Campsite Oversize Cot - I have a few videos on this model too!

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

Quickest camp setup 17 minute video 🙄 No thanks

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

It covers more than the setup - I need to explain as well. Your loss.....

[@l214laus]

The hounds knew that rather than stay in the vehicle, you’d be needing their technical help for getting through the summer swamp area.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahahaha - plus the added swamp smell was very welcome 😄

[@RichardT2112]

WHY!? 1. KZbin just notified me of this video 2. It too the ruddy thing 4 months to tell me!! I really hate KZbin at times … Although I must admit the fisheye lens does make me rather seasick. Still annoying that it never informed me.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I know right!!! I have almost 30k subscribers and on some videos I'm lucky to get 1k views in 24 hours - You would think at least half would click the link even if they clicked away right away 🤨 Something does not add up 🤔

[@SteelerLos]

Do u prefer the air pad over the Teton foam pad? I have the foam pad. Seems like I could use one more layer for comfort since I’m a side sleeper.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I tend to use the Klymit Deluxe air pad as it’s less bulky to carry on my UTV. I do like the simplicity of the foam TETON mat however. If you combined the two you would have LOTS of padding 😀

[@redsorgum]

Simon: Nope, the last we went out, I fell into the water, you’re not going to get me this time.😘 I like to go motorcycle/scooter camping, but I have used my 66 beetle to go camping in, your tent setup would definitely fit in my car.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I bet scooter camping is a lot of fun! I think the TETON setup works for some many situations 👍

[@TangoCowabunga]

What kind of air mat is that and does it slide around much? I have the original mat it comes with, it’s bulky so I’m looking for a good air mat to go with the cot.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The mat I use is the Klymit Insulated Static V Luxe and its a great mat! It doesn't slide around 👍

[@mueckenhoeffer]

Giving you a like for giving me an idea. I'm getting a bit old for sleeping on the ground, so I'm going to see if my one person backpacking tent can be made to fit securely on a camp cot. That would get me off the ground and make ingress and egress to the tent a bit easier.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Anytime - Its a really great way for people with aches and pains or less abled people to get and and camp in comfort. Compared to sleeping on the ground its heaven 😄

[@lostcause1144]

You and the pups have a great thing going, Simon was going to give you till next week to stop rubbing that head

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much 😄

[@wesley20991]

How are the ticks up There just curious if there bad and do you coat your gear with anything.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Wesley - I rarely see any ticks and in 7 years only 1 dog has gotten one (in Jasper, AB). I always wear long pants and shirts in the bush and check myself at the end of the day. My dogs also have a tick tablet that protects them for 3 months per application. 👍

[@SittingWolfParanormal420]

Id love to know your full thoughts on the yescom folding tentcot like an in depth review of it

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

That's not one I've come across before. It looks like a Kamp-Rite copy but I'll check it out! 👍

[@thanehumphrey6476]

Hey Michael...Rosie and I are dying of curiosity...what was that device you were holding in your hand, that seemed to be controlling whatever camera was capturing your footage from above?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Thane - Thanks the Insta360 One X2 camera - its a 360° camera that attaches to a pole. Seems to work well for some shots 👍

[@thanehumphrey6476]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors thank you Michael...this looks worth trying!

[@edman1015]

Was this tent made to attach to the cot? Was it difficult to attach the tent to the cot? Thank you for any info.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

It's made to connect to the cot with 6 simple toggles. It can also be used as a ground tent 👍

[@robmechanic]

Love the new camera gear! Great shots. Always good to see Simon out with you!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks buddy!

[@JB-kh5uk]

How does the cot/tent do in the rain? Do you have the extended rainfly?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I've used the tents in all 4 seasons in Alberta Canada for 4+ years and not has an issue with snow or rain 👍

[@Roarmeister2]

Did you just push your dog into the stream? Bad Bad Dad... 😍

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Just a little assistance! Once she's in she loves it! 🐶

[@Glenfilthie1]

That has got to be the lamest campfire I’ve ever seen in the Emporium, Mike 😂👍 Obviously too much time in that fancy fishing boat is to blame!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahaha - I'm out of practice 😄

[@doriantaylor5243]

This was a great review solidified my decision to buy one of these. What mattress are you using?I see that you are not using the Teton mattress

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I have the XXL Teton mat to match the tent but its a little bulky for UTV camping if I already have lots of gear. However it is a nice mat. The Klymit Deluxe Insulated fits perfectly when I want to save space 👍

Fantastic camera set up! It's like watching a wildlife documentary on TV😊 I was thinking Simon didn't want to leave for home yet, didn't think about his rough start in life, poor boy - so glad you all rescued him!

Thank you very much! We love Simon so much - we are blessed to have him with us 🥰

[@jenniferl4407]

I needed to thank you, Esme, and Simon. Your videos have helped my spouse work through his grief losing his best friend a border Aussie mix named Jake.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much Jennifer - and I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogs bring so much to our lives but when they leave they take a little of us with them. Jake will always be with you in one way or another 🙏 Best wishes Michael, Esme and Simon!

I is always tough to say goodbye to a good friend

[@ckstockholm]

Wouldn't it be just easier to load the gear on a backpack instead of destroying the landscape with those wheel tracks. I'm 60 yrs old and carry my 25 kg and leaving no traces.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

In Canada we have an abundance of space and getting around via an ATV/UTV or off road truck is acceptable. This is certainly not the case in every place in the world. 👍

[@davidgintz652]

Hello Michael esme and Simon. How is everyone doing? Thankyou Michael for a great new video. Was you filming with a new camera or something or was it a drone? I was trying to figure it out lol.

[@buckdragger9215]

Another great video. Not sure where you are in Canada but let me know if you ever make it to Michigan... I have your exact set-up... Defender, Vista Cot tent and a dog. 🙂

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks my friend! The Defender, camp cot setup is probably one of my favorites. The defender allows you to cover long distances in comfort, and the TETON Vista 1 is a quick and comfortable nights sleep. The dogs are the extra special something on top 😊

[@sparrowsings4260]

Hello, Luv! Took the cot/tent set-up on my 6 day trip up at Vallecito Lake in Colorado last week. It was brutally hot! I’m envying you the moisture. We are really struggling with drought here so no camp fires of any kind. It was a great trip, got on the water with my two dogs in my kayak for the first time. The dogs also enjoyed sleeping in the tent. I used a 12 volt electric blanket with my Jakery 500 Watt power pack at 10,500 feet at Molas Lake where it did get chilling at night after a very brief rain making everything a bit damp. It was the BOMB!. Lovely. Good seeing you again. Blessings.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Wow that sounds like a great trip!!! I never thought of an electric blanket with the Jackery before!!! Awesome idea 😄. Glad you and the pups had a great time!

[@RatdogDRB]

"Simon Says"... we don't go home yet. Those are the rules Michael. LOL Good outing... and, I knew as soon as you left that door to the buggy open, Esme would face-plant into the mud to go "help". LOL

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yup - he wanted to stay a while longer! And Esme can't resist a jump plat into a mud bog 😞 lol

[@David_Avidmind]

That camera is witchcraft, no camera should be able to film itself filming itself. Great video, fun with Michael and the dogs. I appreciate your video adventures.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I know right!! Freaks me out how it actually stitches the images together! But it seems to work well!

[@stephanelachance6195]

Hello Michael, Esme and Simon! There is a saying that goes, " Being in nature gets you closer to God ". Well....not only was God close, he was the one filming !! Beautiful video , that camera technology is at another level. very much appreciated. Simon acted just like my dog when he got anxious to get in the CanAm. After our beloved Pogo the teckel passed away from cancer, my wife ( and me too) found the house to be kind of... "sadly silent" and started to look for another fury companion. We wanted to "save" and not buy. So we came across a 2year old mixed boxer style dog that was in an animal shelter. His body was covered by dog bites but his attitude seemed ok. We soon found out that he was more traumatized than we thought. With a lot of love, patience and tenderness he is slowly gaining confidence...that is until I try to get him on the atv !! HaHa. Nice to see you and your beautiful companions back camping. Take care Michael.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Stéphane!! The new camera is defiantly interesting!!! LOL - I'm so glad you rescued a new dog - that's one of the kindest things you can do, is share your home and family with a dog in need 🙏 It does take time for them to adjust and some mental scars are too deep to heal fully for some dogs but with love and patience - they make amazing companions and friends 😊

Great video Michael! Don’t let that center divider in the Numbat annoy you. Use the Velcro tab at the top to hold it in place against the back for you. Until you need to get behind it.

Great tip Mike!!! It was annoying me 😄 Hope your summer is going well!

[@JasonXBeats]

What is the red air pad ? link?

Its the Kylmit Insulated Deluxe sleeping mat - Highly recommended and my favourite all around mat.

[@JasonXBeats]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors you use the Teton cot pad too?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I do. They are both comfortable. The TETON pad is quick but bulky - The Klymit take time to blow up but more compact. Thats the trade off. 👍

[@glenharrison123]

Another great video Michael, it's good to see your dogs enjoying themselves too. The full cab UTV looks like the way to go.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Glen! Full cab is definitely a big bonus, especially in winter but also a good fit for summer! The tilt out windshield gives good ventilation as well as the rear window slide! 👍

Which cot tent do you prefer?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I prefer the TETON as it’s modular. I can use the tent stand-alone and the cot, or if an upgraded tent is produced I can just upgrade that part. Hope that helps!

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors In the summer, do you still need the pad for the cot? Or is it comfortable enough? Thanks

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

@@northernranger7774 There are no bars on the cot or anything that would protrude but I would still recommend a pad for comfort. Plus the bottom of the cot will cool off during the night, so a little insulation even during summer is nice 😉
