Watch me TRANSFORM this MASSIVE TENT into a HOT WINTER TENT!

[@lovethem007]

Hey chuck… awsome video …I had the same tent….I didn’t cut a hole in the ceiling I just fabricated a stove pipe jack same size of the window I used 4” stove pipe it worked great …and stitched it on with velcro…put the fabricated window in and away you go….love the videos bud!!! Take care

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes I’ve seen other do that as well and it worked great. Many options

[@codraven57]

Wonderful tent Chuck.......great idea to use the soldering iron......works perfect buddy.............Love the tent and I will be having one for sure..........

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Game changer for me bud. Tried it this weekend. Total new dynamic.

[@sharonegger5130]

Wonderful! You could put down a nice outdoor rug, you still have your vents, your drying meshes, and I love that pipe jack! Nice one!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

An outdoor rug is a good idea. 👍

Wow an awesome tent Chuck. Lots of room. Looking forward to some great videos using this tent.

Tks sir.

[@leanatrulsen]

This is a fabulous tent! I did the same modification to my ice hut with pretty near the same stove jack, best thing. Was very easy to install. Very informative video!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

This is a game changer for sure. Can’t wait to use it going forward !

Will happen for sure sir. I will never get to expert level of your winter shelters but I’m sure having fun on the journey. Tks sir.

[@offgridadventurers]

Great video chuck!

[@grantwhelan5863]

Great video as always Chuck. I remember the first video of yours I watched was when you transformed your old tent into a hot tent and I’ve been a subscriber ever since. What a unit you have there now!! Looking forward to seeing you putting it to use.

[@Domenion]

I'm glad I found your video. I'm moving north for work soon (month or two)) and due to budget and lack of normal housing options I'm being forced to consider alternate options. This tent will be going on the considerations list.

[@victorfortin542]

Nice tent Chuck, yes another tent, it’s called inventory!! If it’s just you going for an overnight fish then you can bring the small one. Makes sense to me. Now those roast pan contents looked mighty tasty.😋😋

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes sir. I’ll be keeping my other one as a backup for sure. Tks Victor

[@Tony-qe5tb]

Love this episode! I have the exact same setup and was looking for where to put my jack…thanks for helping with that!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

No problem. I’ll have an update on next video for sure

[@TheKmkmchannel]

I really like this idea❤

[@kenandtrishoutdoors]

Smart idea using heat to cut the hole. I cut mine and had to sew the edges which was time consuming. Great video bud!

[@KenC49]

Hi Chuck! That's a very spacious tent. Look how far you've come. When I first started watching your videos til now. You've made lots of upgrades. This tent now is awesome. If by chance your skidoo breaks down somewhere and you had to fix it on the spot, that tent would be a great wind block or heated make shift garage. Possibilities are endless! Lol. Have a good one bud!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

You know what? I never even thought of that! But you’re right!! I must mention that in an upcoming video. Beautiful tip. Tks👍

[@KenC49]

@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors I'm only good for one good idea per month. And you got it this month. Lol

[@bradwatters996]

I have been looking at hot tents today online and then this pops up. What an awesome set up. Im gonna look into gettin one of these. I have a stove already, just need the tent.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Good luck with it Brad

[@maplehouseknives]

Cool tent Chuck! Your buddy Jay needs one of these and the stove jack to go with it, hopefully he’ll see it here! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👍

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha. You never know with Jay-lots more tents in his future for sure lol. Great to hear from Germany!!

[@tuckerandi]

Great video as usual my buddy, I live the tent , I have and love my Labrador canvas tent but you're right it takes a lot of work and time to set up ....and take down. ...lol. I'm looking at doing the same set up this year and still put my canvas up but up soon and up until spring lol. Hope you have an awesome week my friend.

Yes I was thinking the same. Throw an extra city in there in a pinch.

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

I like that. Beats my 10 by 12 outfitter tent because it takes two men an hour to set mine up. Great tent for the back-country.

Beautiful tent for if you’re going moose hunting for a week or something like that. Then it’s comfort in them for sure.

Nice tent Chuck. Can’t wait to see it on the next trip. Have a great week. Had to go back in and edit after seeing that meal at the end of the video. Not fair, I could taste from here in northern Ontario.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Invited a couple people down to share it with me. One of them said it was the tastiest stew they’d ever eaten. I didn’t get much for myself was the sad part!! lol.

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

Very cool. Your hot tent camping videos are what made me transform my Otter ice fishing shelter into a hot tent as well. Planning to do some late Fall camping in it soon and winter camping this winter.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Awesome sir. 👍

[@kevinricketts5310]

Early Christmas gift to yourself! wonderful stuff

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

That’s what I told myself-makes it perfectly ok! 😂

[@RR-or5ip]

What a great idea!

[@SuziPoozi]

Cool tent! I highly recommend getting an extendable pole to support the middle of the roof. If any snow builds up on there, the weight will collapse the roof. Amazon carries some that are made for tents and awnings that have a point that goes through eyelets of tarps and there is a round ball that covers it that works perfectly to support the tent/tarp without poking through it. I think through brond has the word elephant in the name. They come in 2 lengths, so make sure you get the longer ones.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes absolutely. If you watch some of my other videos where I sleep during the snowy night, I cut a small wooden pole and smooth off the top of it and then pop that up in the middle for the night

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

Chuck you did a great job there buddy, i look forward to your hot tent video. yes sir the rabbit stew looked tasty. have a great night

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Tks Wallace buddy

[@badcompany3057]

Good vid.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Chuck, nice video ! love the channel too. Really love how easy those tents are to set up, I'd like to get one like that but smaller (like your other one) and hopefully have the inside grey like your big one. the only hard part is finding a spot that big and flat to set up haha Cheers from New Brunswick, CAN !

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

You can get the one like I had previously with the grey interior. Eskimo fatfish 949ig (g standing for grey)

[@iancurran4760]

Nice tent thought I might have to switch to an Eskimo but my otter resort still has more square footage lol. You did gain some head room you’re really going to like the door. I never put the rods around mine yet seems to work ok with out them. Still no snow here yet was pretty warm here today but that might be changing soon. I see Jay has 5inches of ice up his way lucky guy. I bought the 45 degree elbow this year so I can still use the windows as well if I want to configure inside differently instead of my stove jack. Kinda gives a person options hope all is well stay safe and we will see you in the next video Ian

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

The door rods only take a few seconds to install although I did forget them on my weekend trip for the first couple of hours and everything stayed in tact. This is a game changer for me

[@keithcotnoir6331]

Awesome Job chuck, which is not surprising , I've seen a lot of stuff you do and its top notch !! just wondering if your concerned about some sparks falling onto the tent ? even with the spark arrest

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I haven’t had much of this happen at all yet. Particularly when it gets colder, the sparks dissipate almost immediately. I also have another length of pipe I can attach to give it some extra height as well.

[@scunty7423]

Looks mint. My otter pop up tent has a window in the roof so I was able to just take it out and traced a piece of welding blanket and sewed Velcro to make a stove jack. I also had to angle it using two 45’s because straight up it was kissing the tenting and melting it. Trail and error.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes sir. Every day. Your setup sounds great bud

[@mcgeelockling4540]

When I did this a year ago in my Eskimo ice fishing tent I Removed one of the velcroed windows I got a silicon cooking sheet.Cut it in the shape of the windows Added Velcro cut a hole on it. And went out the window with my stove pipe using a couple of 90s. I felt this was a better solution because I didn't want holes in my roof or wall.And I could seal it back up With the original window when I Wanted To use my buddy heater.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Have seen a bunch of people do it this way and works nice as well. I was seeking a more permanent solution this time and something with a little tighter seal. Very pleased with it thus far

[@oh-brothers]

I wonder how those really big pop-up tents handle high winds out on the lake? Also, putting the chimney on an angle makes it harder to find a wind directional backdraft stopper/chimney cap. Maybe a second angled stove pipe to make it vertical again would work.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Spent many nights in these tents out in middle of the lake with great success. Anchored down solidly is a must of course. Check out this video: FREEZING COLD WINTER CAMPING - ROMANTIC DINNER - ICE FISHING - OLD FASHIONED LAMP / -36 DEGREE TEMPS kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTHdIKbd6mHZqM

Oh and get a french knife for cutting lol

[@davidthatcher7754]

You may want to get some floor mats as I use them as they work great

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I have tried them and also an outdoor rug. Most times the snow packs hard enough it doesn’t require one but does keep it cleaner. Ps. I use green boughs sometimes as well, but they get tangly

[@jasonpond7866]

What you use for cameras? Go pros?

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes. Other than my stone and my phone occasionally

[@GNPBES]

You need to do like the old 70's TV shows before KZbin , amazon ect when you could just look stuff up at will and stop the show and put "TO BE CONTINUED!....." AT THE END. lol Peace!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha. Maybe next time!

[@archangel729]

If you have sawdust soak it in a bucket if you have lots use a blue plastic barrel scoop some out after soaking for a day or two make a brick mold stuff it full of saw dust put it under a press press the water out let sit for a while take it out let it continue to dry now you have a brick that will burn longer and ive herd hotter great for night time so you dont have to keep getting up to feed the fire to stay warm lol just a good way to use up sawdust on the property there are videos out there on how to make them also paper as well.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I LOVE this idea. I just purchased a sawmill so will have tons of sawdust!! So i want to try this - tks again!

[@budman1964]

Where did you get the 45 degree angle pipe at? I don’t see that it’s included in the stove package.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I got it from winnerwell but it was a few years ago now

[@bobbybuskell3528]

Will it fold back up and go back in bag with stove jack??

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes it will-stay tuned to next video where I demonstrate it. I was very curious myself

[@chadmcleod8856]

Chuck, I can’t find the video. The 135 L box on your skandic, you had built a divider. Where did you get the template from? Or, could you share your measurements with me. I would like to put one in my box as well!! Love your videos! Chad

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Here is the video sir. I don’t have any measurements per se as the edges are so variable. Several people told me they searched and got it online kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2XPn4CioM6Wisksi=QtcFQRj46c-q5-Hc

[@topher12661]

How wide is that opening? I have an offroad wheelchair [Action trackchhair] but it is 39" wide.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I will measure it when I take my next trip (this week). The specs state 34”, however, I will say it’s very flexible and could be extended if you pull it apart upon entering/exiting.

[@DaveMasse-e6g]

Do they make an insulated floor by chance?

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

No (as it’s primarily meant for drilling holes and fishing out of). However, people often use those padded mats from Walmart that are about 2’ x 2’ and interlock together. I don’t bother as there’s really no need. Even at -30 or colder

[@jaybirdoutdoors2868]

That is a ton to transport onto the ice

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

52lbs. Slides along nicely in a sleigh.

[@rosewiththorns4669]

New to the channel, game you tried Russian Bear tents? I've seen them s few times and think they're great

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

No I haven’t. I did have a company reach out to me one time asking me to try theirs. But I was really busy at the time. Maybe I’ll reach back out to them. They look like quality gear

[@seppohaikonen6989]

You cut the chimney hole to big... it should be a snug fit .. no air gaps for water to get in

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

It’s only big when it’s inserted straight up and down. When it goes in on the angle, it fits snugly. I tried it with the tighter fit and it actually misformed the stove jack completely. Trail and error…

[@ZebraFacts]

Where is your spark arrester?

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I only use it during the late spring/early fall season. Outside of that there’s no fire season and it clogs up really really fast. That limits the stove’s performance significantly

[@archangel729]

Dont know if i could cut into a new tent lol

[@lindaingram7537]

Sweep the snow out of the tent, please.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

When there’s a thick layer of snow down, I cover it with tree branches. We get an average of 14 feet of snow here each winter, so impossible to sweep/shovel it out as the winter season progresses.
