UTV Wilderness Camping Adventure with the KAMP-RITE Tent Cot
Hello all, welcome to another UTV camping video where I explore an old abandoned ranch and spend a beautiful night under the stars in my Camp-Rite Tent Cot.
I hope you enjoy the video - Esme and I really had a fun time and it was just what I needed after a difficult work week :)

Vary nice place. I bought a side by side and now doing modifications so I can carry all my camping gear. Well do video. I’m really excited about get this part of life started.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Roddie - Congratulations on the side by side. Its a great way to see lots of country and carry enough camping gear to be comfortable for many days if you wish. I think you will enjoy it very much!

[@ATVOverland]

riding and camping. what else could one ask for. thanks for sharing the water filtration.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

It's a great combination and something I enjoying doing. I recently switched my filtration - as I found some drawbacks with the Sawyer mini :/ I might make a video explaining why and what I switched to. Best wishes from Canada!

[@frankdawe5156]

Great video. What a beautiful way to spend your free time...In the outdoors with your dog.

The Sawyer is the best IMO, cheap and easy. Great Video once again.

Hi Keith, I know its been reviewed a hundred times but you are right, cheap, light and durable. I cant ask for more of a personal water filter.

Hi Robert - she's a great companion - I think you will like the tent cot! Make sure you have a mat to go inside to make it extra comfortable. Hope you have a trip!

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@RichardT2112]

Great video - love the "drone" footage!!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Richard T Thanks Richard. Canada is so picturesque!! Perfect for drones.

[@RichardT2112]

It is - sadly the new regulations we have to deal with (I'm in Vancouver) certainly prevents a lot of fun ... www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2017/03/new_safety_rulesforrecreationaldroneusetakeimmediateeffect.html As is typical, a few jerks ruin it for the rest of us! Glad to hear the bugs weren't bad - they were horrible here this week-end .. more bites that I could count :)

[@wlacalle]

Canada is a very beautiful country. I’m from Louisiana and we have a lot in common, love the outdoors, camping, hunting and fishing. I also have the P500, kcamp cot, tents etc. Enjoy your videos! 👍

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi wlacalle - It's nice to meet a kindred spirit! I've never been to the southern states but would love to visit one day. How do you like the P500 and which tent cot do you have? Best wishes Michael

[@wlacalle]

I decided on the P500 after watching your videos and also installed the SuperWinch 2500 that you reviewed, love it! I have the XL Camp-Rite cot tent (and several other tents) that I use. Keep up the good work😎

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks for the reply! Superwinch is a good alternative to a Warn and the Kamp-Rite is awesome for camping! Thanks for watching my videos!

[@mariesmith1814]

What I would like to know Michael, in your video’s when and where you camp is all that land yours... Beautiful land and peaceful adventures

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Marie - No this is Canadian Crown Land. About 89% of Canada's land area (8,886,356 km2) is Crown land. You are free to camp, hunt, fish and explore to your hearts content 😊 Its the reason I moved here!

[@mariesmith1814]

Thank you for the reply, I see a lot of video’s of camping etc. just wondered how these people find the land to make the video’s... i is so beautiful where you are , I would love to find a place like that to move, but being single and just starting out probably would not survive in the winter ❄️ but beautiful

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

@@mariesmith1814 Hi Marie - Are you in Canada? Winter camping does take a little practice but its the most beautiful time of the year in the forests 😊

[@mariesmith1814]

The Emporium Outdoors no I’m not in Canada, I am in Alabama, it is hot and humid here... I love the video you did with your dogs and the outfitters camp cot and tent, that’s the only way I would camp is if it is off the ground, too many bugs and snakes here, Do you have bears and wolves?

[@mariesmith1814]

I was going to order the camp cot, tent, cover, mat, but they are out of stock for several of them until the end of August, thanks for your video’s, I think i will enjoy that tent, cot, when I get them

[@kerkarraje]

Another great video! Canada is truly beautiful and I would lie if I say I'm not a little bit jealous. 😊 Your videos get way to little attention considering their quality and the amount of work you put into them. Looking forward to your next video and happy belated birthday from Germany.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Ker - thanks for the very kind comment! Canada is an amazing place to live but German has some beautiful country too. I'm not to caught up on the number of viewers or subscribers - I know the people that subscribe enjoy them and that makes it all worthwhile :) Grüße aus Kanada!

[@morrispersaud4097]

Hey Bro thanks for sharing with the world. Great adventure. Wish I could do the same!!!!!

No problem Morris - glad you enjoyed the video!

[@wierpkevin]

Very 👍

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Kevin!

[@MikeGetsItDone]

Enjoyed the video and beautiful countryside. Great camera work with several different views and angles throughout. Wondering, how do you like the Kamp-Rite Tent Cot in colder conditions down to 0* F perhaps, how does it hold heat in your experience.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi MIke, the tent cot is new to me this year and I'm curious too how it will perform at around 0F (-18c). I plan on testing it this year and will be sure to make a video depicting my experience! Thanks for commenting!

[@grahamdelahaye4568]

Great video I like the the sky shoots, any fish in the river? could put a ground line in so that you could have fish for breakfast, keep up the good videos I like the contents.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Only small fry in the river but I think it may hold greyling in the deeper areas. Something to discover on another trip :)

[@FinnsKdld]

Use steel wool to spark on next time u will have a small explosion!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Steel wool is a good fire tinder - but birch bark is free ;)

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Beautiful location Michael... How are you liking the Les Stroud axe?...BTW, a late happy birthday

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Mark - I like it a lot but I need to spend more time using it to get more proficient. I find filming a trip and doing all the things takes more time than you would think - so it sometimes feels a bit of a rush. I need to take some time and make a project with the axe to learn it's abilities. Thank you for the birthday wishes. I'm loving all your videos - great inspiration for me to get out more!

[@fdeering]

Hi Michael. Who makes that black storage box with the red latches? I’m looking for something more heavy duty. That looked like a good unit. Great video.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Forrest, I bought several of them from HomeDepot a few years ago. I paid something like $10. They have stood up well.

[@kevinenger8623]

New subscriber. I saw a couple of your earlier vids, and just loved them! why do all the awesome vids come from Canada??? LOL

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks for the subscription Kevin! Now you mention it I want a lot of Canadians too! lol 🇨🇦

[@brandonlight7682]

Can anybody tell me how good they are with condensation, sunny days, in the snow, do zippers hold up, are they tippy, when you lay in it does it put alot of tension on the tent? I'm looking to get one for hunting/fishing so I want something comfortable in most situations and packs quick. Thank you

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I prefer the TEON Vista1 version of the camp cot as its modular. You can use the cot separately or use the tent on the ground. There is also the Elite Fly which cover the whole tent and cot to the ground - Good for storing gear! No problems with zippers or condensation in my environment (Alberta, Canada) 👍

[@andrewc9234]

debating the kamprite or the cabelas one, ive seen the cabelas one and it seems great quality kinda torn between the 2

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I thought they are both made by Kamp-rite (I think i read that some place - kamprite.com/shop/tents/tri-fold-series/kamp-rite-original-tent-cot/) but there are some differences. The one I chose was the oversize model and has a bit more room and the vaulted roof. I did notice that the Cabela's ones are on sale right now! ($279 CAD - $100 off) and the Kamp-Rite oversize model is www.amazon.ca/Kamp-Rite-DTC443-Oversize-Tent-Cot/dp/B000I641UQ/r is $263 CAD.

[@andrewc9234]

i really wish there was somewhere kamprite sold theirs locally ive got a cabelas near by and have closely looked at theirs and then looked a the kamprite online certainly a few differences. alot of similarities aswell. i think tomorrow ill hit basspro, sail and cabelas

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Well - if you buy the Cabela's one and don't like it they have a great returns policy. Test it out for a night and see if you like it. Make sure you have a sleeping pad that will fit inside - makes all the difference.

[@johngergen1215]

that's a useful looking harness you're wearing. What brand and style is it?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

That would be the Ribz front pack - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJamoIJ6f5J9rqs - I've been using it for a couple of years now and love it!

[@NukePooch1]

Love your videos! Now that you've had the Pioneer for a while, any regrets over buying that instead of another RZR or something else like a Ranger?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I'm glad I bought the Pioneer 500 for the style of riding I do. I'm not much of a sport rider and I find the Pioneer generally more comfortable to ride than my Rzr 570. If I moved away from the 50" models I would probably buy a Ranger or Ranger mid-size. Having a larger cargo bay would be a big factor for me. Hope that helps.

[@NukePooch1]

Thanks!

[@northernranger7774]

What made you change from your Honda 500 to the Defender? If you were to do it again, would you of bought a Honda 500 at all? I’m looking to buy my first sxs. I just want to go slow and trail ride and see all of the outdoors and enjoy it. Thanks.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi NorthernRanger - I change my SxS every 3 years and try something new. I sold the Honda to buy an Argo that didn't work out so I bought the Can Am so I could fit tracks for winter. The Honda is a great little machine perfect for trail riding, hunting and exploring. The top speed (64kph) is a little slow if you are hitting the roads any but the reliability and quality (for the price) is excellent. It also fits into most 1/2 ton truck boxes for transport. I certainly would buy one again but I'd budget for changing out the tires early on as the small stock ones are terrible!! Hope that helps! 👍

[@bothetinman772]

I don’t know if you’ve bought your new sxs. I just sold my Canam Commander 1000. I’m replacing it with a Yamaha Wolverine RMAX4 XTR 1000. They are the new model Wolverines for 2021. The RMAX line has several different models and options available. A few of the things that I have learned about Yamaha that I really like is their reliability. They seem to be out lasting both Polaris and Canam. They also have a 10 warranty on their drive belt. You won’t find that with any other manufacturer. Maybe 6 months to a year tops. Yamaha really did their homework when designing these. If you haven’t made up your mind, take a look at them. By all accounts, they aren’t as noisy and they don’t get extremely hot in the cab either. My Canam was wicked hot in the summers. Whatever you choose, safe travels and happy trails.

[@northernranger7774]

@@bothetinman772not yet, thanks for the info.

[@Yellow.Dog.]

Very nice video. I have one of these but the last time out camping we hit a little bit of rainy/hot weather. It was pretty uncomfortable trying to keeping the side flaps open to keep the air moving or closed to keep the rain out. Have you found these to be kind of hard to keep comfortable in with wet and warm weather? I don't know if I would care to use one much in hot weather with rain. Any suggestions? ATB, Bill

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey Bill, in Alberta we have very low humidity and not too much rain during the warmer part of the year. I slept with the cover off almost all the time. The cover for me is the weakest part of the design as it does not allow as you say for good ventilation in wet warm weather. In that situation I would remove the cover and just put the cot under a tarp. This will also keep an area around the cot dry for gear. Not ideal but it will work. Best wishes Michael & Esme!

[@Yellow.Dog.]

Thanks for the reply. I will take a tarp along the next time I use it, good idea. The rain fly seals it up too much imho too. With a pad the cot sure is comfy and has plenty of length to sleep in. Thanks again, ATB, Bill

[@hermit6208]

One thing I noticed about this Esme pup....she's not big on helping out with the camp chores. She does seem quite willing to test out the sleep system at length, however.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahaha - thats a good observations. :D. Head bed tester!

Did you forget your lighter? They sell three packs at Walmart for like three bucks and get a few thousand lights off each.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I like to use a ferrocerium rod to start a fire as butane lighters don't work in very cold climates. A ferrocerium rod works at any temperature even when wet. I know this is summer but I like to keep in practice :). Thanks or commenting!
