Winter Hot Tent Overnight

[@awlach8]

I cant believe you can ever get out to the woods without Sarge! Beautiful pup!

[@sargefaria]

+Adam Whitlach Thanks bro, he is awesome for sure

[@northof50now]

Kephart's book is excellent, well documented and has more information than you could ever remember. I was amazed at how much detail there was on a variety of camping subjects. It makes Nessmuk's book look like a pamphlet.

[@sargefaria]

+northof50now LOL...right on Rick.

[@PumpkinVillage]

Nice tent, nice dog and a good meal. Not bad for a winters night. Thanks for sharing, Al

[@sargefaria]

+Pumpkin Village Maple Thanks Al

[@sallyperkins75]

What a handsome German Shepherd. Awesome camping companion.

[@DonnyB]

WOW, I had no idea it would get that warm in there. That's impressive because that stove isn't all that big! Awesome video Sarge.

[@sargefaria]

+Donny B Ridiculous right?!!! HAHA Thanks as always bro

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

cuz he's got a 30 degree angle on the chimney pipe coming off the stove - captures that heat. First time I've seen a tent set up for that - I have that as well.

[@ronjohnsonoutdoors339]

Great video, Derek! Best dog I ever had was 1/2 German Shepherd, 1/2 Lab. Purebreed both sides, a cross-the-fence "accidental" litter. My Teddy was the runt, and at 18 months he could put his paws on my shoulders and his jaw on top of my head, weighed in about 140. Ate me out of house and home LOL! Extraordinarily loyal & yet very friendly & playful. Best dog I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. He died about 30 years ago, and I still think about him almost every day. He was jet-black with real short fur like his Lab sire, and had a perfect classic Shepherd build from his dam. I still miss him something fierce.... ATB! Ron

[@sargefaria]

+Ron Johnson Outdoors Right on my friend. Such great companions, no matter the breed I guess. Lots of great stories, and lots of sad ones as well. I love dogs and have ad many myself. Miss them All. Thanks as always Ron, much appreciated

[@MrBradymoss]

He must have been something special…With such memories after 30 years. You were blessed that you had him.

[@krayzrebel1017]

They are like family no question. Here in Korea have an Alaskan Malamute that I am certain has no brain but he's mine and we love him. He's taller than my Filipina wife and weighs almost as much. LOL Much respect to you and yours.

[@maritimespook]

i love the tent Sarge ! Tim did a great job on its design !!,,,Cheers !!,,Spook

[@sargefaria]

+maritimespook As do I, and he certainly did. Thanks Spook

[@maritimespook]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service P.S Did you say u may try to get to Nova Scotia in August,if so ill see u there !!,,,,Spook

[@sargefaria]

+maritimespook Awesome! Yes im going to try my best to make it. Lots of great folks going to be there from what I can tell ; )

[@maritimespook]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service Sweet !! Hope to seevu there brotha !!,,,,Spook

[@sargefaria]

+maritimespook likewise my friend

[@andrewbenson4275]

I've had a Simulator 2 German Shepherds and now I have a Schiller Hound best dog I ever had and I got her for free from North Shore Animal League what a good dog and smart as hell

[@sargefaria]

he's awesome for sure

[@kennethworde862]

Great vids, nice to see you embrace outdoors. Couple of tips from old guy, Many have same wood restrictions, I love wood smell, but you can modify stove for propane and such, military we used gas too, no creasote, also can use charcoal at night, heats longer, make sure ashes on bottom, to prevent burn through, Ely mukluks? BWCA Journal, and also Cliff Jacobson on Ytube look em up, the cold is measured by how many dogs you had to sleep with to stay warm

[@sargefaria]

+kenneth worde right on man. Steger mukluks

[@kennethworde862]

We have to talk or get together, I am 30 military, retired, from N-MN, Grand Marais, I have have some serious issues as they say, and just watching you last night, and listening to waves on LS helped a lot as I haven't been able to get out this winter, though to much slush on lakes. Let me know on contact?

[@buxtonwild3122]

Lovely set up , how do you transport your gear ? It's a lot , do you pull a sled ?

[@sargefaria]

+Oofty Goofty Typically a toboggan or a sled, yes. Thanks

[@mitchellinman1966]

That looks a big tent just for one person u could fit my tent five times in that one the place looks beautiful I love the great out doors but don't get out that much with two your kids really envy u being out there good vid thanks

[@sargefaria]

+Mitchellin man Certainly a big tent for one person. Its ideal for 3-4 folks really, and is why I have it for my snowshoe trips and such. Thanks man

[@jeffersoneinstein9641]

That's getting up there with sweat lodge kind of heat.:} That tent and stove combo seems efficient to say the least. I'm sure Sarge was plenty warm and based on old vids very well fed. Nice to see him hanging out with you, he's a cool dog.

[@sargefaria]

+Jefferson Einstein Thanks buddy, hes a cool dog indeed

[@zaphhood4745]

Liked, subbed and all because of Sarge. What a magnificent looking animal.

[@sargefaria]

+Zaph Hood right on man

[@JH_1095]

GREAT VIDS SARGE.... HOWS THAT FLUE WORK AND DOES IT GET HOT ENOUGH TO GET THAT SUPPORT BURNING?

[@sargefaria]

+MyBLUEARROW Thanks man. The flue works well actually (despite the pieces not fitting perfectly). I need to purchase some more piping since I went from a straight/vertical flue design to going out the side wall. I use green wood for the supports and haven't had a problem. I do keep an eye on them tho for sure

[@drcsep]

Great campsite set up... Great faithful companion...

[@sargefaria]

+Carlos Sepulveda Thanks buddy

[@bryanr.3241]

Is this tent one of the tents you sell and what kind of stove is that ? If you have a video on this tent and stove , can you post a link ? Thanks my friend

[@sargefaria]

+Bryan Resch I don't sell tents, or gear anymore for that matter. But here is a link to a video I shot about this one.kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6GQgp2El8elrKM

[@migratingmoose6840]

true, thanks for the advice.. I guess something that's built to last is well worth the money. I know in the past video you mentioned the name of the tent I believe but I can't remember off hand. who makes it?

[@sargefaria]

+thomas yevoli tentsmiths

[@migratingmoose6840]

most hot tents online sell for upwards of 1500 $ is there any way to find a decent one for around 5 - 600?

[@sargefaria]

+thomas yevoli This one is great, though around the $900 mark, much cheaper but still pretty pricey. You could always make your own I guess.

[@tonyenglish7176]

Appreciate your videos my friend. I love the North experiences I've had in Wisconsin and Illinois bowhunting. Living in the South I often wish for the experiences you have. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and life!! Be safe and well.

[@EDCAdventures]

Haha you're the Indiana jones of woodsmen. Named after the dog?! Looks like a nice big tent. I haven't read kephart's book yet. Have read Nessmuk's was very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@sargefaria]

+EDC Adventures HAHA. Wife named the dog ; ) Thanks

[@northof50now]

Nice vid Sarge. Wondering if you still have the Nessmuk Shanty? I always liked it, albeit...snow, warmth, hmmm. This looks like it might be closer to my level.

[@sargefaria]

+northof50now HAHA, thanks Rick. Hope all is well my friend. Yes, still have the shanty too

[@northof50now]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service - keep me in mind should it ever start taking up too much space on the homestead.

[@sargefaria]

+northof50now Will do bud haha ; )

[@andrewhaszonics8651]

when the tent gets warm dos,nt the snow on the floor turn to slush?

[@sargefaria]

+andrew haszonics Have a video on that coming bud

[@hopefullagestandstall2484]

I don't say to much on here but I have to say you have a great you tube vid's show really good. And l what to thank you l know of only a few of the guys myself to that will go camping in the winter with snow on the ground. And you do know your stuff. I what to thank you for putting up your vids on this stuff lm in. Colorado lm having a blast winter camping my self.

[@sargefaria]

+Hopefull age Standstall 24 right on man, thank you

[@marklong2528]

i have a homemade stove same size,, tried 4 inch pipe and not big enough it would smoke in t pee, i need to mod it 6 inches

[@sargefaria]

+mark long 4" is pretty common. might be just a drafting issue

[@marklong2528]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service Now that i think about it I think its about 3 inches, its just a 1/8 thick pipe i used

[@Trustme722]

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

[@sargefaria]

+Trustme722 Thanks for taking the time to watch them ; )

[@argmooner6524]

thanks for another good video. and thanks for sharing your passion w us. is that a production stove or something you made ? if so ,whats the name of it?

[@sargefaria]

Thank you for watching and your time to comment. The stove is a kni-co that I bought from outfittersupply, works great.

[@jaylenewhitford7888]

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Good times bud, hope to make it next trip!

[@sargefaria]

+workingclasswoodsman Leaving it set up for the next couple weeks bud. Have some company this coming weekend and we will use it. I have the following week off (if you want to plan something) and then the next weekend I have company where we will use it as well.

[@workingclasswoodsman]

its on the books!! the following weekend works for me, maybe get some cusk and make a "Guide" chowder!!

[@sargefaria]

NOW you're talking my language!

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Perfect!

[@rebekahmcfatridge6691]

we're do you get the equipment?

[@dalewildey4102]

Our hunting tent of 30 years has a floor. We always hunt in the late season. Minus 20-37 degrees Celsius. The floor is the only way to go. It has never froze to the ground. I am looking at getting a small tent with stove for solo winter camping in my neck of the woods."northern Saskatchewan Canada", and yes, it will have a floor. Thanks for the video

[@PalmettoParatrooper]

Because I was trained in the subarctic and I live in South Carolina, I'm always the warmest guy in the camp. ha-ha. I'd love to have a hot tent, but I really have no need for it in this climate.

[@sargefaria]

+Palmetto Paratrooper right on

[@TurtleBushcraft]

nice video, Looks like a great tent. thanks for sharing atb John

[@sargefaria]

+Turtle Bushcraft right on....solid tent indeed

[@tomritter493]

wow 95 to hot lol better then 26 lol love the pooch he looked happy great deal going there sarg hot tent nice I know you had à great time your in the bush! ATB .....tom

[@sargefaria]

+kabaruser right on Tom, thanks buddy. Hope all is well my friend ; )

[@samvue9219]

omg I love watching and learning a thing or two from you and your serge dog I love it. just hope if I ever get lost in the the I'll still remember most things you thought lol, keep up with your videos, I enjoyed.

[@paultaylor907]

Where can I buy this canvas tent from? Thanks.

[@ronhart8857]

Beautiful companion, great size wall tent, nice tent stove.

[@bwillan]

+95°F in a hot tent while winter camping is definitely 'smoothin' it'. Do you keep your stove burning all night?

[@sargefaria]

+bwillan No doubt man haha. Depends on how cold it is really. I wouldn't have last night, but because Sarge was with me I didn't let it get cold really in the tent. Lowest I think I let it get was 40. Typically I don't like to run it all night, but when its real cold, why not right? That's wy its there....otherwise I could just haul a tarp lol

[@ksingleton101]

< Max One of the best German Shepard's a man could ever have as a friend. We went every where together but when he reached 7 Hip Dysplasia started showing and the hiking became to much for him. At 13 he had a heart attack forcing me to put him down. It's been 20 years but I remember him like it was yesterday. It's rare to see the colors he had and the paper work I had on him was very long and from Germany. I found him the day his first owner was dropping him off at the Dog Shelter. He didn't spend 5 minutes there and I believe he thanked me by showing me so much love.

[@sargefaria]

+K Singleton Great story bud. They are great dogs for sure, but certainly known for the hips going bad on them. Sarge is showing signs of it now at 8yo. That's why I don't take him out so much anymore. He does ok, but feel bad making him do it. RIP Max, sure he was an awesome dog.

[@ksingleton101]

I was afraid of that when I saw him getting up. I put Max on Glucosamine or a form of it for dogs. One of the side affects is Heart Failure. Max only weighed 80lbs his entire life and I was hopping that would slow the progress of the Disease but it didn't. There was another medication I gave him but I can't remember the name of it. Max produced one litter of pups and I got one of them. His son, Bruno also had Hip Dysplasia and I refused to give him medication for it. He lived to be 13 also but his demise wasn't a heart attack it was his hips completely giving out. He woke up one morning unable to stand or walk. From what I understand it's a painful disease for them and I wish someone would find a cure for it. Dogs aren't complainers so it's hard to tell just how much pain they are in. I wish you all the luck with Sarge. He looks magnificent.

[@sargefaria]

Thanks Sir. Ya he isn't too bad really, but definitely shows signs of it now and then. He was 80lbs at like 5 months old haha. He is between 110-120 now, and has been for some time. Im sure that doesn't help things. He had/has issues with his ears (thought to be allergies to food), nothing has helped him at all, from different foods, raw diet etc... The only thing that has helped is steroid shots, though not good long term either obviously. Since....I just love him and try and give him the best life I can. We all die at some point I guess, so I try and make him happy ; )

[@donovanphipps777]

Really loving your videos. You are such a nice guy too and humble. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. God bless

[@tomaszstarling]

Overnight tent videos are favorite even more I'd you read a good book chapter! ☮🇺🇸👍🏻♥️😀

[@sargefaria]

+TAVOR VICEROY VALDOR right on

[@NorwegianWoods]

Nice video! Thanks for taking us along :) - Martin

[@sargefaria]

+NorwegianWoods Thanks Martin ; )

[@ibmoosed]

Yeah I'd say that's a hot tent 70 in the house is to hot for me but I reckon it's nice to have in the woods

[@sargefaria]

+Lazy Moose Agreed Moose. Its mainly because I was cooking honestly, no need to keep it that hot obviously. Sure is nice to have when its in the negative digits though.

[@EatCarbs]

95?? Must have been one of the worst outings you've had.. lol Geez That's a hell of a cool set up brother! Thanks for the video

[@sargefaria]

+Eat Carbs HAHA, thanks bro

[@mdelucia67]

Dude,,thats great,,95?,,,,thats niceeee,,,,,I so want to hot tent,I'm Going To Try To Get That Burley fellow to also,,lol,,,nice vid brother

[@sargefaria]

+Mike DeLucia HAHA, right on bro. Im trying to get him to too. At some point we will. 95 is not comfortable, for me anyway. I was ready to go make snow angels in my birthday suit haha

[@mdelucia67]

lol

[@jayhyland4023]

Time to rock a Hawaiian shirt , shorts and flip flops!

[@sargefaria]

+jason hyland no doubt man. was ready for snow angels in my B-day suit!

[@jayhyland4023]

[@Nativesurvival]

Crazy hot in there haha that 19F didnt even phase that setup, you were running 75 degrees warmer inside. Awesome thats a -40F rig right there and youd still be using a summer sleeping bag lol Goodstuff.

[@sargefaria]

+NativeSurvival HAHA...right on man.

[@ronnyronaldi2642]

NativeSurvival m9

[@rodneyblevins2562]

Watched a lot of your videos over the years and enjoy them greatly. I'll pass along a tip, next time you roll up that chimney flap do it in the opposite direction that you did it in this video. In other words, roll it under instead of over. The way you did it here will allow it to catch rain and moisture. Rolling it under will allow it to shed water instead of catching it. It can be a bit more combersome to roll it under because it's not a natural motion but after a couple times you won't even think about it. Keep up the great work!

[@user-ql2id3ml3i]

curious as to why none of these tents (videos) have a floor. we bought one and it has a floor and it makes a big difference.

[@sargefaria]

No floor is because once you have a fire in your wood stove, and the snow melts.....the floor would freeze to the ground.

[@edwardcarberry1095]

Filter Cloth and Mill Felt work really well as a floor keeps the floor warm.

[@flair4crafts894]

Hi, in one of your videos you shared a link for the survival stove you were using during bug out. I cannot remember which one is it, its been a while. Do you happen to have that link? Thanks

[@wirelabratory6770]

awesome - great GS best companion

[@Lellobeetle]

AMEN, take care of a pup. Great video. I'd love to hot tent sometime.

[@sargefaria]

+Lellobeetle Thank you

[@DarqueScape]

You've got to try out The Book of Woodcraft by Ernest Thompson Seton. I've got a lot of old woodcraft classics that are excellent, but there's something special about that one.

[@sargefaria]

Ya, Seton was no joke for sure....still has a movement going strong with the BSA hahaha Kinda says a lot for him

[@scarytallman]

Feel like i am listening to yanni, enya and kenny gs love child. Jealous of the tent though good video. awesome dog!

[@sargefaria]

+Alan Porfert not sure about the reference haha, but thanks

[@scarytallman]

The music during the tent set-up, very new age.

[@scarytallman]

very atmospheric, a good thing :)

[@sargefaria]

+Alan Porfert Ahhh, right on. Thanks again. I didn't take it as negative, just didn't know the reference was all

[@scarytallman]

just making sure. one of these days i have to make time and attend one of your classes. Im in mass so not far away.

[@sargefaria]

+Galen Long Right on brother, I hear ya, was wayyyy too hot for me too. Was ready to make snow angels ballacky bareass hahaha Thanks Galen
