Cold Weather Camping in a Massive Hot Tent : New Camp Site, Cooking, Wood Processing, and Shed

Got my buddy heater right next to me.. it was a gift from my mother who is also an outdoor person she lived in the woods for a few years for fun and she said it was the best thing she ever bought and got me one.

[@lindadonahue9279]

I don't think I've enjoyed any of your videos as much as this one. Diggin that teepee tent a lot. But my favorite part is when you talk about your family. Your eyes just light up. You're a good man!

[@SchmutzieOutdoors]

"Know your own worth" is something my dad taught me when I was a kid. That is sage advice Luke.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks for the shout out Luke. I try really hard to source high-quality, original products to show my audience. As you mentioned there are a lot of quality products coming from China especially if they are USA designed. In most cases the knock-offs just aren't worth it. Unfortunately with free product comes laziness in fully testing which is what you see on many channels. Have a great new year!

[@selfretired3025]

I've used the Buddy heater on just pilot, in a truck topper... and stayed plenty warm. Those are awesome.

[@selfretired3025]

Yeay! Looking forward to the cabin!!❤

"Know your own worth/value" is the best advice I ever got. It also reinforces me giving the best value for my time.

[@mrhalfstep]

Luke, when you do the rain test in the future, could you do it in a sloped location like this? I was looking forward to seeing how an open bottom tent with just a ground tarp did with rain water running under it. I've been in some bathtub bottom tents that literally rippled with water rushing under it in heavy rain and have always been skeptical of any tarp shelter or open bottom tent because I have assumed the water flow could be ridiculous, causing a big mess. Boy Scout manuals from my youth used to encourage digging a trench around the tent bottom to divert water around the tent if it was pitched on a slope. The "leave no trace" movement has changed that recommendation, I think. So how do you deal with it? I'm glad you got to enjoy your trip with a rain free night, but I was actually hoping for a deluge once I saw the set up your were planning to use. Looking forward to the shed series.

[@CrimeVid]

Well if you won’t dig a trench, you have to find a hump to pitch your tent on !

[@mrhalfstep]

@@CrimeVid I see where that would work, but what if no humps are around? How bad would it be on a sloped site? And BTW I personally don't think digging a trench is destructive to the forest, I just think that it may not be encouraged in the BSA these days. If I'm wrong tell me.

[@CrimeVid]

@@mrhalfstep If you get it wrong you get a river through your tent on a sloped site,a pond on a level one !

[@roybatty5028]

@@mrhalfstep My standard procedure is to use the old e-tool and dig a trench around my tent every time. Be sure to give the water a runoff point.

[@mrhalfstep]

@@roybatty5028 That was the Boy Scout way back in my day, but I don't think they encourage the Scouts to dig up the forest floor these days.

This is a great format to review products. I enjoy the 'backyard' reviews, but this is so much better! Do more of these!!! Great content from you as always! Strength and Honor!

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thanks mate, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. As an FYI, NO products on the channel are backyard reviews; for every product that I review there is at least one adventure video out with the product in addition to the relentless testing that isn't filmed. I don't film in the reviews in the backyard either; out in the middle of nowhere at Lone Wolf Mountain (testing grounds). Strength and Honor my friend. - Luke

@@TheOutdoorGearReview not sure what they were thinking of, but the only "backyard" reviews I can think of miiiight be when you're doing an extended rainstorm, waterproof/penetration test? Unless I'm getting you mixed up with another channel.

[@danielgamache3149]

I live in a 20 ft long camping trailer in the mountains of Northern Arizona and that little buddy propane heater is a godsend! I never have to worry about ventilation and carbon monoxide with it.

[@__GALLANT__]

Carbon monoxide builds up gradually in your system and accumulates in small quantities over time. Many people think if it didn't kill you in your sleep, you did alright. A lot of Carbon monoxide detectors do not detect the lower range of the deadly gas. Always use good ventilation with anything you burn "indoors ".

[@MM-zs7fn]

One of my fave episodes is the shed with the woodstove. Excited for more!

[@viz.on7]

Yay cabin build, that's super cool and sounds like an awesome project! And excellent tent pegs, I've been using similar design and size for many years now and we have super hard ground in our forests with many rocks, and they never let me down in rain or storms or whatever, held everything together perfectly, never broke or bended, they're super light weight and durable... not sure how you're using them. BTW, you don't supposed to push a piece of metal with your bare hands, no logic in that. Just use your axe, hammer, log, rock or whatever to peg them down. I really like them, they're good.

[@__GALLANT__]

Good advice regarding pushing pegs in with your hands. It's an easy way to shove a stake through your palm. Good observation on your part.

[@Moroni108]

This absolutely one of my favorite channels! Great filming production and equally great outdoor experiences!! Thank you for the reviews and your thoughts on this gear.

1. I think that tent is the best you have ever reviewed. 2. One of my favorite episodes you have done was your overnight in the shed.

[@hadenshore]

Luke, your videos are excellent. Good stuff. The Mr Heater Buddy heater series of products are excellent and SAFE for tent use as you noted. I have two of them and used them several times hunting. A couple of things to note however for those new to the game. NOT all propane space heaters are safe for indoor or tent use. In fact, MOST are not. Mr. Heater makes other products other than the Buddy series. READ THE PRODUCT INFORMATION. Second - a good safety tip is to put the remote 20lb tank outside of the tent or structure. To each his own, but I've always done this as a additional ounce of protection. Keep the videos coming... cheers

[@chrismoore600]

Yep from November to now we have been running alot of woods and brush fire calls. But rain is on the way. Nice tent thanks for the review.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

That is a LOT OF TENT for a one-person overnight adventure. I would choose a different Pomoly model with less interior space to heat. BUT I ALSO would have snuck an electric chainsaw in the back of the truck to process that lovely black locust timber.

Want to give a shout out for your music in these videos as much as the videography. It makes a huge difference! It's like watching a pro set up camp. There is no fumbling, cussing, spilling everything everywhere like it would be for some of us out there. And you take every opportunity to appreciate the moment. Like : "that stove feels do good on my hands" when you are probably really chilled from sitting outside as the sun went down, freezing even.

[@wlarue]

If you want to step up your Mr Buddy game, they make a heater with a cylindrical heating element that will cover a 180 degree area; I think that would refer to radiant heat, since convection is the way that most heat seems to fill up a tent. In addition to 11,000 BTU's, they have a cooking element that has a hose that snaps into a port on the heater; one connection to a propane tank gives you both heat and the ability to cook food. Pretty nice to have in camp or if there is a major power outage.

[@michaeldarken5948]

I love the channel. Please be aware, however, that the heater buddy still needs ventilation. I had it in a small ventilated tend ... air flap fell down... and i woke up with a SPLITTING headache. It could only have been from the fumes. Just my opinion here.

Luke, I have a 2008 Crew Max Tundra and it is one of the loves of my life. I've been running Good Year Dura Trac tires on it for years and it will go anywhere.

One camp coffee tip when using this manner of triangular filter; use only about 20% of your water for the cup and let the coffee ‘bloom’ for 30 seconds. Then pour the rest of the water slowly 1/2 at a time. If you are using good freshly ground coffee the flavour is noticeably enhanced. Happy camp brews folks.
