SNOWSTORM Solo Overnight Winter Camp | Canvas Tent & Gstove Review

[@solotripper]

An awesome end to the winter camping season!

[@fourteencrows1244]

Too..many..ads..

[@rexpechon8907]

I love Quito!

[@Jeffrey1978]

Love your videos my friend! I’m looking forward to your 2020 winter videos if you make some. Did you get your additional Gstove components that were sent to you? 😉

[@RosanneLoriMalowany]

I have been looking at many winter hot tenting options for the past two weeks. I've spoken to many people of which several who have different setups - Snowtrekker, Atuk, Esker, Bereg, White Duck, Avalon, Cabelas, and more. Also, watched countless KZbin videos on the use of the above brand seeing pros and cons. You, my friend, are the first to actually show and speak about the trials and delights of setting up solo - start to finish - of a Snowtrekker tent. Very helpful to me in deciding which setup I would purchase. Thank you so much for your amazing efforts. Happy tenting to you and your sweet companion. Cheers!

[@bryanrasmussen689]

I really enjoyed the vid. For me, it was a remanence of 20 years in Alaska and my beloved Malamute dog, Wolf. I am right now working on my set up, g-stove XL, and modified polish lavvu. I am back in southern Colorado where I was born and too hot right now to actually use the stove inside my tent. But this was a blast of the past!

[@DK-jh8fc]

Just came across you your channel, its awesome, ignore the Nay Sayers, i don't think people understand how much time it takes to put these together, especially in the field, Thank you for your content.

[@joecraig9108]

Awesome! I just picked up a winner well woodlander size medium stove. Now to pick a good tent. I have an all black German Shepherd names koda. He’s a beautiful loyal pup. Can’t wait to do this!!

[@craigbetts1586]

wow how could not ask for a better time, a man and his dog howling together, sharing diner and sleeping out in a tent, what more could one ask for, excellent video really enjoyed watching

Haha, I know, I know....i was making light of it. Still loads of snow. Enjoy the video, let me know what you think!

[@angelfire2085]

Hey there, new to your channel, but I'm enjoying it, great video! oh of course remember Bob Ross... what a guy... loved his paintings!

[@Snowlady99]

Harlan, disconnect the lower segment of each of the four support poles when setting up. It makes it easier to throw the tent over the frame. After the canvas is over the frame, reattach the bottom segments.

[@solotripper]

Bhahaha....are you calling me short? Lol

[@les371]

another fantastic video just like the rest,, thank you very much for the tips and most of all for taking us with you on these off season months when work prevents so many of us from hitting the northern woods ,, cant wait for vacation time to start heading up to elk lake area again...... keep up the great videos !!!!!!

[@Druide-ie1pc]

Try to get the Airflow controler pipe, ande there´re some 45 and 90 degree pipe adapters. And you can get higher legs for the Gstove. Greetings from Germany.

[@JS-xs5hq]

Thanks for the good video. That's a really smart tent design. I used to feed my dog human food, until I learned that her health was paying dearly for my mistake. It turns out that human food over time takes a harsh toll on their health, as their digestive systems, organs, and bone joints are not designed to tolerate human foods. Ask your veterinarian. Thanks again for the video.

[@sallyohalloran6650]

Great to see you and your lovely dog out adventuring. My young dog when nuts when she was howling at the wolves!! Running round and then spotted her on the screen!!! I need to send you a photo 😁

[@solotripper]

Hi Sally, Lol, so did Kito when I was editing this hahaha. Gotta love dogs!

[@conradrideoutcr]

Dude. Just found your channel. How have I not heard of you? Great videos bro. Great footage

[@tonyallen2050]

here's a another idea you could always stick 1 of those lites thru your vent hole above the peak of your door that way you will have lite if or when you go outside at night

[@rdpauley9824]

Nice set-up, looks comfortable, relaxing, peaceful & the portable lights were a nice touch. Oh yeah Keto awesome 👍🐕

[@solotripper]

Thanks RD. It's an awesome tent and stove combo, very impressed. We've been using the Snowtrekker tents for years and they've always performed well. Thanks for watching.

[@enceladusfox2247]

Hey fellow Canadian , Hi From London, Ontario .... Great video , love it long fun and cozy with the warm stove nice lights to light up your evening and your woof to cuddle up with .. I love the G-stove.. As for your dog it's your dog call her what ever you want to my woof, my dog, Keto .. :) Love to see more Videos of the comfy cozy snow hot tent camping .. Thank you for bringing us along for the adventure !

[@douggibson9084]

Love the tent, g-stove looks good but stainless steel is heavier than steel. For packing on a sled there must be a steel stove which has great quality and a little lighter than the g-stove. Great video

[@solotripper]

Thanks Doug, I've looked around and haven;t found anything else yet other than 4 Dog but those are titanium and I can't afford them.

[@JanColdwater]

Keto is a beautiful dog. What a gift. She makes me miss my Casey girl. Keto wants a cushy sleep topper too! 🤣

[@bushcraftgangster7809]

I hate to sound like a SRUB,but man, I'd love to buy that stove and tent. Being retired you have alot of time on your hands with no paper($$$$) When I was working,I had paper,but NO TIME. I'll get it right one of these days.

[@solotripper]

Hey Gangster, thanks for checking this one out. Glad you like the tent / stove setup...I hear you!

[@rooferization]

Try putting waterproof tape over the top of your modification, to stop all the snow coming in.

[@jimhanson7476]

Hey Harlan, amazing tent and stove... Great series and looking forward to spring.... Cheers

[@solotripper]

Thanks for watching Jim.

[@maddmusician4492]

New subscriber. Just wanted to say great videos and I've never ever had an issue with my gstove. I would contact them if you haven't already it's the best stove I've used in 20 years and absolutely love it. I use a luxe tent but that ST tent you are using has me considering a second tent purchase for bringing the family.. glad I found your channel !!! I see some couch potato haters commenting lol. screw'em.

[@marycecilia8472]

I learned so much from watching this. Thanks for posting! Also I must say I love how wonderful you are to your dog. I love mine the same way❤

[@AMC-eq3jr]

Information never too old. Thanks for sharing.

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

If you check on eBay, you will find hanging lanterns powered by AAA lithium batteries or rechargeable 18650 lithium ion batteries which could supplement your lighting system. There are also small compact lightweight LED flashlights available which are very inexpensive. Good 18650 batteries run about $5 US apiece for Sanyo and Panasonic brands. Longer lasting than cheaper brands. Should weigh about 48-49 grams. Still work well below 0 degrees F.

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

Save a couple of those Moosehead cans to support your stovepipe on a forked stick outside.

[@tonyallen2050]

that's a nice tent an set up you have, keep up the adventures I love too watch them

[@landlady4990]

Love your dog is a good buddy all the time especially in the wilderness

[@pleitrap7073]

Harlan; I have thought about your cold feet in winter and have a thought for you to consider. Cold feet are usually about damp socks contacting the feet. Why not try a sock liner that allows the feet to breath and not make direct contact with the skin? Just a thought...

[@solotripper]

Hi Ruck, I can try a sock liner for next winter and see what happens. Appreciate the suggestion. Any particular liner you recommend?

[@cliffordwright1603]

Light pair of wool. Then a plastic bag then a thick wool sock. Works great and I have sweaty feet

[@pleitrap7073]

Haven't a clue, I now live on the island of Guam... I do know that Underarmor Heat Shirts are based on the principle that transferring body sweat from the skin to the outer clothing will keep you dry and cool. The same principle should apply to transferring sweat from the skin, through the inner sock, to the wool socks and keeping the feet dry. Check out some of the folks that do backpacking trips from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, they seem to know quite a bit about keeping their feet dry and free from blisters. Take care and stay safe out there...

[@RosanneLoriMalowany]

@@solotripper Hi Harlan. Have you tried Alpaca wool boot liner inserts? It keeps you warm and wicks away moisture. Also, socks (wool or otherwise) retain some moisture. I have been trained by a survivalist to change into dry wool socks three times/day (morning, late afternoon, and just before bedtime) and that helps me keep dry and warm. Finally, dry out the boots and socks overhead on the guy line. Works great.

[@bwillan]

Did you ever consider any of the stove offerings from Four Dog? I have their titanium ultralight 1 deluxe. I had a baffle added to it and I find it works well. I have a video about it on my channel. No issues with warping or the door not closing properly. It is a little pricey, but it is quite light for its size.

[@solotripper]

I would love to get into those stoves, however we have an average of 10 tents each year, so that would get too cost-prohibitive as they are very pricey. I hear really good things about them though

[@timothypoole5718]

Nice cinematography!

[@Homesteadhow]

Like a film! Loved it. We are doing similar with a 60 Min video building a deck for our wall tent

[@EifelWandern]

Hello Harlan in the snow. Spring has arrived the German Volcanic-Eifel. The howling made me laugh. Because i have done the same as i had some Honeywine (Met) near a caravan parking with some dutch tourists sittin by camping furniture i front of their trailers. Uncertain about looking around (-; "Good Path" from Lower Mountain Range the German Eifel. Alex

Hi Alex, thank you for your comment in for watching.

[@jareds3953]

I really like that Sherpa lined vest you have. I need to find one of those

[@christopherhiggins8238]

Hi. KZbin brought me here. So My question is this... I have been drawn to the Winnerwell something or other, with the 3 spring loaded legs and the 2 glass sides. What are your thoughts? Because with the stove you have in this video it looks like there are pieces that can get lost for locking the legs.. And great dog!! My 10 year old rescue Hound is laying here now :)

[@523beau]

Just found your site and have subscribed. Love the honesty about the products, best that i have seen. I will be watching from now on!! I'm looking for a tent so in your opinion ,would a 9x11.5 be to big for a single most of the time (might be two once in awhile) Or would a 8 x 10 be better. Also i use a cot for sleeping. Thanks in advance

[@solotripper]

Hey Brian, Thanks for checking this out! Glad you enjoyed my rambling. I like a big tent, even when solo but the smaller tents will setup A LOT quicker so I'd lean towards smaller but its' all about personal preference.

[@523beau]

@@solotripper Thanks for the quick reply and answer. Much appreciated

[@gordongreenwood9491]

Why didn't you buy a tent with a floor in it instead of dragging pine branches in? When the snow melts be cause of the stove you and up with a big mud puddle .

the only thing missing from your sausage meal is a nice bun or slice of bread that you can wipe out the pan getting all the wonderful sausage grease on it and eat it. yummy

Have you considered first lay out the canvas, then go under the canvas and assemble the poles?

[@cliffordwright1603]

I heard where you are that winter is not over. Great stove and you can’t beat those snowtrekkers. How do your mukluks stay dry in the wet melting snow. With my snowtrekker I have a very clear sheet of plastic to put over the enterance so it keeps heat in and I can still see out.

[@solotripper]

Hey Cliff, Thanks for watching. In the melting temperatures, the Mukluks suck...no way around it. The "waterproof" spray they sold me is not so waterproof. I didn't mind on this trip because the temps were really warm but it could be a problem if they plummeted. In the -30 temps we had all winter it's not a problem as everything is so dry.

[@RosanneLoriMalowany]

Hey, Clifford. How do you secure the plastic sheet to stay over the entrance (placed on the outside is my guess)?
