Hi all, I was just out for a quick overnight camp in the TENTON sport camp cot and wanted to share my winter camping experience.
The temperature was mild for this time of year (-10c) which made for a very comfortable nights sleep.
I really enjoy how quickly I can setup and take down this system, allowing me to spend more time enjoying my surroundings than assembling my camp.

Just saw this- love how Esme hopping in with that "Thank you for setting up my tent for me" look on her face ;)

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Mike Thanks for commenting! The TETON is a great tent cot and I'm still using it now - its my go-to quick camp setup! Best wishes Michael & Esme 🐶

[@aaronm8694]

I've been using my XXL cot for years now, its so comfy. I have the outfitter mattress as well but Im getting tired of setting up a tent for the cot. I think this Quick Tent is the answer: its tropical where I live with some respite in June/July/August when it almost gets down to single digit celsius overnight, but when I head south it goes a few degrees below freezing and rains like hell.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I'd recommend getting the Elite Fly with the Quick Tent. This option allows the fly to drape all the way to the ground, providing better protection in heavy rain - Check out later videos where I film a complete overview of the setup! 👍

[@roadrider_2771]

I love Esme and your videos! 👏 Thank you!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Anytime!! 👍

[@AnnetteZang]

Love the setup...and your dog, too adorable

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Annette :D

[@johnedwards6419]

All of your videos are wonderful. The music is excellent, allows a person to watch in peace. I am for sure going to buy your complete set up.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thank you John - glad you like my setup :)

[@witeshrt]

Michael try putting a layer of Mylar (silver emergency blanket) inside the mattress cover under the foam. It doesn’t breathe enough for summer use but will keep your heat from escaping down in winter. I just bought the tent and I have to order the cot and XXL mattress yet.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip! I finally bought a Therm-R-Rest Z-Lite for underneath. When it gets super cold you need something a little thicker like foam! 👍

[@duncanchaboudy4187]

Now THAT is a slick setup!

That system is massive...Looks so warm I don't think I would ever want to get out of it. Thanks for sharing Michael and Esme

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Mark - Yup - strictly truck or UTV camping - If I was in Hawaii during the missile warning I would have headed to my sleeping bag for safety :D - I'm planning a survival overnight camp with very minimal gear soon - totally other end of the spectrum. I've been enjoying your videos - Keep up the great work! Best wishes Michael & Esme!

[@lurchie]

I have the cot pad and I love it. The only thing that bugs me is that is absorbs water like a sponge, so if you sweat, beware. I've had the cot for a couple of years and have used it many times. I just purchased the tent and I'm really excited to try it out on a camping trip in a couple of weeks!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Jeff - I like the pad too. I haven't found that it absorbs water but I'm sure it would. Perhaps spraying it with waterproofing for canvas might help. I really like the TETON setup for any time in the season - great all round camping solution!

[@tenlanka5541]

Yep, a GREAT VID bro Easy beezy Enjoy Life be4 the Life leaves U Cheers

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Ten! 👍

[@shovelhead8]

Nice tent set-up. I keep one of those permanent match lighters in my coat pocket. Thank you for the video, Michael and Esme

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Shovelhead - yea I kinda like the new lighter thingy. Seems more reliable than a zippo.

[@flyingcat2054]

Thanks for sharing. I was considering the kamprite cot, but now I may get this teton. I think it has a longer fly option too. I like easy up style, and have several cots it may fit on anyway.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I find the TETON much more versatile. The Quick Tent can be used as a pure tent and works really well. In my next video I have another idea on how to use the TETON cot tent! 😉

[@bluepresley9315]

In the video, you were finished setting up by 5:26, but that looked edited. How long did it actually take you to setup camp? I'm interested in the Teton for that reason. As you are tired of blowing up mattresses, I just don't think I can push a pole through another set of eyelets!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The setup with the TETON is that quick - I can have all my camp setup with a chair, table and open my first beer under 10 minutes easy 😎 Pack up is about the same but you need to roll the sleeping bag. Be aware the TETON quick tent or Vista 1 is not suitable if you are over 6ft tall 👍

[@ibrahimkhan27]

Esme is awesome! Another great video and a great setup!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks - We had a great time filming and hanging out :)

[@RatdogDRB]

I'm looking forward to trying my new rainfly out (the large one) with my rig like this. Don't know why (when I used it the first time) it hadn't dawned on me to put the mattress INSIDE the tent, instead of between the cot/tent (DUH). I'm also thinking of staking a tarp to the ground on the back side, then using four poles to create an awning up/over, allowing me to stand up (under shelter). Could also alleviate that accumulation of snow in the open door when you want the view/fresh air. And... minimizing WHAT gets soaked in the rain. Amazing how much more sophisticated and yet, SIMPLE our gear gets as we get older and seek more and more convenience while "roughing" it. LOL I have the very same "match/lighter". However, the striker rod became dislodged from the side of it and has gone missing. Be careful of that annoyance.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Ahhh very cool - The Elite rainfly is very nice an it does keep a lot of wind and stuff from blowing under the cot. I just dislike the colour 😔 I just bought a new hammock that I hope to be testing next week - so the tent cot will have to wait until after that time - but I miss its simplify and speed for setup! Great gear! Yea - I have one part of the striker come loose and I ended up jamming it back in again. Not built for the long haul but they are interesting!

[@mustang1191]

Awesome setup, that's close to luxury accommodations with the pad and bag. I bet it was a peaceful nights sleep.....and the IT podcast would have knocked me out quickly. Take care my friend.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Mustang - very comfortable for sure! And yes - the podcasts would knock most people out :D - lol

[@IBRich62]

Lot easier getting out of the tent being up off the ground, that is a nice thing.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yup - and it's more comfortable than my hammock - especially sharing it with Esme! :)

[@davidbennett5040]

I was leaning on kamp-rite but after watching your video might have to get this one! What does it cost for this whole package? Got a few months to go then off to Michigan’s north Country for some atv camping..

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi David - You buy a full setup here:- tetonsports.com/product/vista-camping-set/ 👍

[@lordmarshall5239]

Cool idea,as long as you can find ground. Looks comfy

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yup - it works well - with the TETON mat inside its like a bed at home :)

[@SteveLShannon]

What sleeping bag are you using. It looks like a Woods -45C bag. I've been looking at doing some winter camping this year and it seems there are only a few out there and the price is all over the place. I'm in Calgary

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Homeguy 4X4, I bought the bag from Wholesale sports and it was one of their -45c bags and I LOVE it! It's too big for anything apart from car/truck/hunting trip camping but worth the money. I paid about $250 for it on sale and bought 2. TETON Sports sells a -37c bag for about $130 CAD on amazon (TETON Sports Deer Hunter Sleeping Bag) - haven't tried one bit the price looks good. Hope that helps.

[@florindagonzalez5700]

Like for the wolf blanket! :D

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahaha - She loves that blanket 😄

[@lavapix]

I've had that style of cot for maybe 7 years now. It's excellent. I need a pry bar to connect the last rail :-)

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahaha - Sometimes they can be tough to get in!

[@lavapix]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors I meant to ask if the large roll-up pad had any kind of lasting chemical odor to it?

Thanks Fer!

[@scottgust9709]

This was a great vid man....so funny when you say "its not very cold only 10f" LOL thats cold! :)

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Scott - lol yea, I guess its all relative :D A cold day where I live is anything south of -29c (-20f). -40c (-40f) is when stuff gets weird. Things stop working and items become brittle. We don't get too many days like that :) Best wishes from Canada!

[@spencermcgill]

How cold of temps have you ran this set up? I’m camping with mine this weekend. Looking like 0°F thru the night with 28mph winds. I’ll have a tarp to cover the bottom of the cot to stop wind from under neath but how’s the tent handle wind? Anyone been in a situation like this? Lol

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I think around -13f/-25c but I would recommend the Elite rainfly to cover the bottom of the tent and a good sleeping bag and mat! 👍

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

Would the bigger rain fly be better for winter camping or is the one it comes with okay?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The elite rainfly (longer) would be preferable. The short one is really made for when the tent is used solo as a ground tent. 👍

[@josephmiranda-steele9487]

I love this setup, I currently use the Ozark Trail Instant Tent Cot (which is a copycat of the Oztent Bunker Pro Tent Cot). I have a concern about your set up, mainly being the Teton rain fly doesn’t properly cover the cot, so I have a concern about standing water accumulating between the tent and cot

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Joseph - I have only heard good things about the Ozark products 👍 The TETON system can be upgraded to the Elite fly which does cover the whole cot with a small vestibule on the door side. They supply the short fly so you can use on a cot OR as a floor tent 👍

[@desrynne2720]

Can i ask if it rains would you not get wet as the rain cover is short of the inner tent . This seems a bit silly for the manufacture,s to do this over 6 inches of material

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Des - They sell the Elite fly that is much longer and covers the whole tent cot! 👍

[@imagingconcepts]

nice job, looks very relaxing

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Dave! It was fun!

[@davidclark4469]

I like your winter camping videos the best of all. I'm very impressed with the metal match lighting system, and it's actually quite old. I recall seeing it used in movies, to light cigarettes, going back to at least the 1940s. Pretty neat.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi David - glad you like the videos :). The metal match is such a good idea and I'm sure its been around for sometime. Interesting to see ideas resurface after periods of dormancy!

[@chriscompton9970]

Do your prefer the Therm-a-rest Basecamp or the Teton foam one you used here?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Chris - Depends. If I have the room and don't need to pack small - Ill take the TETON as its quick and easy. If I'm packing lots of gear and need the space the Therm-a-rest is still very comfortable but provides the extra space I need 👍

[@adventureswithdogs2251]

Maybe not a backpack rig, but you could easily carry it in a distance. Perfect for an overnighter!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yup - I'd be happy backpacking with the tent on its own - The beauty is the way is very modular :)

[@ATVOverland]

Very clever setup to get off the snow and not have to use stakes. I shared your video / links with a friend who is searching for a easy camp setup for his truck bed. Really liked that lighter thingee. Very convenient.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey ATV Overland - thanks for sharing my video :) This is my new UTV camping setup now when the snow thaws in May :)

[@bigalcervantes5118]

Great video my friend. Question, does Teton make a double tent cot. Usually my wife comes with me camping and it would be nice to have a double.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Albert - the only double I've seen is the Kamp-Rite models. kamprite.com/shop/tents/tri-fold-series/kamp-rite-double-tent-cot/

[@seamac7966]

Yes they do it’s called the vista2 and it works with 2 regular sized cots. I bought one because my 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks camp with me.

[@johnedwards6419]

Have you ever tried "Wetfire" fire starting cubes? They are fantastic, I discovered them while camping in the Yukon of Canada. The start easly with a ferrocerium rod. I have started wood that had been rained on for many days with these cubes, hence the name "Wetfire"

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I have used wetfire and it is awesome - I keep something similar in my emergency firelighting gear especially for the winter months. You don't have time to mess around if you get cold at -30c or -40c. You need fire to stop you getting into a bad spot or worse.

[@rickanderson886]

Looks like a good set up, I wonder why they did not make the fly go down and over the cot? if it rains the water will puddle under you. just saying.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Rick - I've just received a new fly from TETON Sports that does go down to the ground - Just waiting to test it and report back.

[@clericduran]

What is the brand of your reuseable lighter? I typically carry a Zippo but that looks way more handy for camping!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I tried a zippo for a while and got frustrated with it - always dry when I went to use it. This was a gift from a friend and you can pick them up on eBay and amazon for cheap. I think they call them an endless match or something like that. Hope that helps!

[@jamesyork1734]

hello i have the same set up as you have and i would like to add pockets on the inside using velcro strips do you feel this would work and not damage the tent.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi James - Thats a great idea. I don't think it would damage the tent as its only the inner! Let me know how it works out!

[@kaylapettis111]

What a cutie....I like the tent too. Does it come any bigger? Enjoy watching your snow vids. Thanks....

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Kayla - the tent comes in one size only and one colour. Sorry.

[@desrynne2720]

Whats the name of the lighter and where can you buy them from

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Des - Its called a "Permanent Match" - just search Amazon! 👍

[@LarryBees]

Great channel thanks

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Larry :) Glad you are enjoying the content!

[@jamesyork1734]

Do you have room for gear in the quick tent or do you store all under the cot

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi James - You could store some gear inside but like most 1 person tents there isn't a lot of room. You can get a sling from TETON www.tetonsports.com/Accessories/Organizers/under-cot-storage.htm#.V447wJMrKw4 to store gear underneath. I use the tent without the cot sometime too - I really like quick pitch at the price of a little more weight. For the money, you can't beat this little tent!

[@MrMikebarrie]

Awesome night out. How was the mattress?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The mattress was great and fits like a glove - almost like it was designed to fit ;) Worth the money for sure.

[@seohiotrapper3618]

Didn’t know that you could get a fly that would go to the ground while using the cot, is it from Teton? Let me know please I’m interested in what you are using, thanks

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi SEOhio - I just filmed a video this weekend using the new rainfly in -30c conditions. Should be up in a few days.

[@marcolazzeri7813]

Hey. Excellent video. I’ve tried tweeting, emailing, and going on Teton’s FB page regarding the purchase of the bigger rainfly. It appears that they’re not responding to anybody, (and haven’t for a while). Would you know any Canadian retailers for the bigger rainfly? Or, did you manage to get a direct number? (Their answering machine is full). Kind regards!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey Marco - let me try messaging them for you. I have a name of one of their CS staff.

[@cliffordwright1603]

Thank you very much

[@danbolton3180]

I just bought the tent last week in preparation for kayak camping. Now I’ll need to get the cot after watching your video. I’m wondering if the cot will pack small enough to fit into a hold, or need to be strapped to the deck. Man my wife is getting sick of these camping necessities.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Dan, the cot is pretty big - I don't think it will fit in a kayak and it weighs 26lb. However, the tent is great solo and pitches so fast it awesome.

[@danbolton3180]

Yes I set it up this morning to re attach the clips. The sales person thought that the tent would last longer if it was taken apart first, but after watching a few videos I am leaving it in fast set up mode! I know that giant pad won’t fit in the boat unless I leave the food and sleeping bag at home. I’ll check the cot out though because river camping in the Northwest can mean soggy ground most of the year. I’m hoping to paddle Portland to Astoria this summer, about 90 miles. Thank you retirement! I have a bivy tent also, but it takes 10 times longer to erect, and is less spacious.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Dan, I would leave the tent assembled too - not sure why the sale guy would recommend otherwise :/ Portland to Astoria trip sounds great! I was recently in Portland and was amazed how much water you have there! Beautiful part of the world.

[@danbolton3180]

Thanks for the reply Michael. I’ll set the tent up on a ground sheet later this week and give it a try in the back yard. We’ve had a week of rain, so the ground is saturated. A good test. I like that you camp with Esme. It’s good to share with another being at the time. I would camp with my dogs, but 10 and 8 pounds make for wildlife treats more than companionship. I’ve subscribed, so I’ll keep up on your adventures.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Dan - Thanks for the subscription! Yes - I always worry with small dogs too - they are very vulnerable unless you keep them very close.

[@OregonMikeH]

Outstanding Michael, Ya in colder weather just like a Hammock, heat loss from convection via air movement under you is easily combated with just a light Thermal Barreror! I said Thermal not loft because you would be compressing loft. It's truly then, A Four Season Tent. I have greatly appreciated learning about this from you and so enjoyed your talk and Demo. Happy Days Buddy, you take a peek at my Y.T. Ch. to now, We have some glorious things in common. Warm Regards to You & dog face. :)

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Mike - totally right! Down and other soft materials compress and don't insulate. I have a down quilt that I'm planning to use this year for hammock camping to save weight and become more efficient!

[@TerryGarvin]

Is the tent long enough for someone who is 6’3”?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey Terry - The tent is 80"x37"x34" and I'm 5'9" and fit with me and two dogs. I would say 6'3" is getting to the limit and you may brush the tent with your feet of head if fully stretched out but as its a double skin tent that's not a huge problem. I'd recommend buying just the tent from Amazon perhaps and set it up in the living room to see if it fits. If it doesn't return it and get a refund. People do that with cloths all the time! 😄 The cot will absolutely fit you as its BIG 85" x 40" x 19"! Hope that helps!

[@TerryGarvin]

The Emporium Outdoors Thank you for your reply. I already have the cot and the pad and I think I will give the tent a try. I appreciate your videos.

[@rudyo8409]

Do you consider this superior to the Kamp Rite cot/tent ?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Rudy, they both have strengths and weaknesses - the Kamp-Rite is the better camp cot but its bulky to transport and store. The TETON is modular so the tent and cot can be used separately, which also means its more transportable. The TETON is also a bigger bed size but the Kamp-Rite provides better headroom overall (weird I know). For what I use it for, the TETON has the edge because it has more uses. Either way they both serve as excellent tent cots and you can't go wrong with either! Hope that helps a little. Best wishes Michael

Cool! Would love to see that!

[@PondstompingAdventures]

As much as I don't like seeing litter. I would rather see tin cans, than broken glass. Easier to clean up, and little safer. Besides, empty beer cans is money. Last summer made 40 bucks off of discarded empties around camps and trails. And a tip of the hat to anyone that keeps a clean camp, and cleans up after others.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Brian - I guess it was better than glass but all the same it's disappointing. One thing I've never understood about Alberta and maybe other provinces is that people spend time collecting cans from the roadside or other public places and make a little cash. It's great that they do - don't get me wrong but who is throwing cans out on the highway in enough volume to make it worthwhile for others to collect?! Blows my mind! Thanks for clearing up your area - people like me appreciate it! Best wishes Michael & Esme
