A hot tent is a lot of work but the benefits of warmth, comfort, cooking surface and dry gear is very pleasing in rough conditions. Yes the trick is to use it for a multi day situation. A base camp for camping, day hiking, snowshoeing , ski touring, split boarding, XC skiing, snowmobiling, fishing or some activity.nice area you are, great stuff. Get a snowmobile 😊❤️🇺🇸❄️☃️🛷🔥⛺️🌄

I bought a canvas wall tent with my brother for elk camp a few years ago. The warm place to cook and dry out is awesome after being in the field all day. It is not getting packed in but it makes winter camping so much more comfortable and better for longer trips

I found that the more busier you are, the more comforts you add to the experience. This hot tenting thing is definitely on my bucket list. This is coming from someone that only knew cold camping as an option. Cheers!

Right now I am doing cold tent camping for 1 to 3 nights as I like to change camp once in a while. I alway's bring my sled for gear , snow can get very deep where I live. As you mention , when cold camping , sleeping time is alway's around 7- 7:30 . I do make a fire around 4 ( already dark ) , and enjoy it until 7 . A hot tent would be nice for the morning or when the weather keeps you inside . Thanks for all the pros and con

I’ve done ”cold tenting” since the 80’s and tried a self modified tent for hot tenting a couple years ago. It is a game changer for sure. The level of comfort is crazy much better compared to my old way of camping. All stuff get dried out, all condesation issues totally gone! Of course, I let the stove die out and never wake up to feed it during the night. So, I always still take winter sleeping gear as if there were no stove. I start out with the sleeping bag unzipped and just zip up as it gets colder. My titan stove weighs only 1 kg total and my modified 2P tunnel tent with big vestibule weighs in at 1,7 kg.

Great realistic video of hot tent camping! Impressive you managed to stuff all that equipment into the deuter 55 😀. When we hot tent we put snow all around the tent skirt to remove any draft, and if the tent handle it, up along the walls for insulation. A light titanium stove doesn't radiate that much heat, there is a reasons why native Americans used teepee. Good old fire pit in the midle is so much better. Silnylon doesn't insulate, it just prevent wind, so what we do is using a big tarp, shaping it and making sure it's possible to have a firepit going, put a mesh net over it so the tarp doesn't get damaged. We make sure the sleep system is overrated for the trip and when it's bedtime we close the tarp, it's more important to get good sleep than constant putting firewood into the stove. This is probably like swearing in church, but to be honest.... Just bring a makita duc101z or similar , it makes wood processing extremely comfy. The pros are it's light weight, quiet, and last long time with a 6 ah battery, cons it's kinda cheating, but is it really? And bring usb heated pads. Put them in your chair, on your body strategically, in your sleeping bag. UNLESS you want to go survival mode camping during winter. Never underestimate the cold, and if it's windy too, you better bring the correct clothing. Just some thoughts from Norway.

Don't know if this is a Swedish thing or not but hot tenting as a single person is a autumn activity where you bring the stove for a bit extra comfort if you are hit by inclement weather. In winter you are multiple persons you share a tent and possibly a firewatch (depending on how cold it is). But in both cases it is camping and not hiking. Usally the aim is to fish or hunt in a designated area, so you share the load between your pulks if you are skiing in and so on. The practice are declining among the locals tho except for mabe those that are hardcore ice fisher's but they haul their stuff with Snowmobiles.

Combine it with ski touring and it becomes easier imo, as you can put the heavy weight on a sled (which you can use anyway) which makes it easier to haul. Plus, in heavier snow, you can just pack down the powder with your skis, and move about a bit easier to get wood

Thanks for making this, really enjoyable and helpful video, especially as I've bene trying to figure out the right stove size for the Minipeak XL. The stove you have there looks like the Winnerwell FastFold BACKPACK stove (not the regular size Fastfold linked in the description). That's the smallest and lightest Winnerwell stove, similar to the Pomoly mini size stoves. Definitely looks like the right size choice for the tent. Good to know how it performed heat-wise too, thanks again!

Attaching the inner tent to the outer tent with cold bare hands in cold, freezing temperature weather is not something I'd want to deal with. Excellent point, about burning in the memory of the roll up stove pipe.B4 taking the stove out into the field for an overnight adventure. The design/engineering of that Winnerwell Titanium stove is attractive when compared to older heavier & poorly designed older stoves. Carbon Monoxide detector - excellent that you emphasized its importance. 9ºF is c-o-l-d.COLD. Fortunately there doesn't appear to be any strong gusty winds which would have been even colder when you factor in "wind chill". You can NEVER have too much processed firewood. Your chest pack - Brand? What were you carrying it in? HOT tenting simply has no appeal for lil ole MEeee. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.

Your stove is bigger than mine and a lot heavier but I guarantee I can get more heat out of mine...You just need to learn how to use your stove properly. With mine it likes the damper half open (or half closed if you prefer) then I leave it for a little while and suddenly the sides of the stove and the bottom of the stovepipe will start to glow red hot, really kicking out tons of heat! The reason for this is pretty obvious when you think about it...With the damper fully open most of your heat simply escapes straight up the stovepipe, and gets wasted, but by closing the damper down a bit it actually traps more of the heat being produced inside the stove, which the stove can then radiate into your tent. Plus there are two more benefits...Your firewood will last for longer and all that extra heat helps to burn off any creosite. Also, don't have the vent's in the front door wide open all the time...Close them down a bit and you will find your wood will also burn for longer, saving on firewood.

Thanks for all the insight. The stove in this video is quite tiny. So I’d be curious to know what stove you have that’s smaller than this one? This one is roughly 13x6x6, pretty dang small.

@@BackcountryExposure Mine is the Seek Outside Cub U-Turn. It is only 9" x 6" x 6" and at only 380g (13.4oz) without the stovepipe, it is officially the lightest hot tent stove in the world. It packs really small too. Unfortunately, Seek Outside have stupidly decided to discontinue it, and now they only offer Medium and Large U-Turn stoves which are obviously larger and heavier, and they do 3 more conventional ultralight "solid body" hot tent stoves which are even heavier. I was very lucky to find one going second hand, here in the UK, for only £120 (about $160), with a 5 foot stovepipe and 5 pipe rings. I wanted a longer stovepipe to keep well away from any smoke so I ordered a 7.5 foot stovepipe direct from Seek Outside in the states which came with another 8 rings, so I now have 13 pipe rings. The 7.5 foot stovepipe weighs 327g (11.5oz). So the total weight of the stove, stovepipe, 13 rings, velcro strap to keep the stovepipe and stove body packed away,, and an additional stovepipe top Titanium spark arrestor I bought separately on Aliexpress is 823g (1.81lb).

I like many people who have tried hot tents, despise hot tents. They're dirty smelly wet and too hot. You're going to be cold in the end it's just a pain and it's just for basically the aesthetic as far as I'm concerned. I have camped in -20 plus more times than most. I've had hot tents out in at least a dozen of those camps. I would much rather sit around a fire outside. Hot tenting = 1.8 stars out of 5

Ditto!!! I’ve got an old north face mountain tent 2 person from back in my 20s when I worked at TNF in San Francisco. I can set that up, cook outside with the white gas stove well away from the sleeping area. Eat dinner, go on a steep snowshoe hike to get the blood going, pee and eat a shit ton of trail mix for added carbs and sugar and climb in the tent and -20 synthetic bag. Hang a uco candle lantern and that tent will warm up substantially. You’ve gotta stoke your own body to stay warm in those environments.

@@steveolesen8033 I am genuinely asking. If you’re going to make the statement, stand behind it and tell me. I wasn’t miserable and it’s far from my first time using a hot tent. The stove pipe is rolled and secured as instructed by the manufacturer, and doesn’t leak. The stove comes from a reputable manufacturer and sure it’s small, but that makes it easier to carry in a pack. Snow skirts aren’t required on a tent. Piling snow around the edges is also an option if you don’t have snow skirts. My sleep system is/was very comfortable and appropriate for the conditions, and I had all the necessary gear to enjoy myself. So what part of it gave you the impression that I was miserable? What hazard am I missing that I should be mindful of? I’m genuinely asking here.
