- Katie and I survive our first night camping in freezing weather with our new Wilderness hot tent/wall tent!
In terms of the BEST tent in the world, there can be only one and in my opinioin it is the WALL TENT! See why wall tents are the top tents around.
Our wall tent from WallTentShop.com arrives and we prepare the poles, we cure the wood stove and we set off on our first winter camping adventure and its going to be cold. We do some winter camp cooking on our wood stove. This video features 6 parts, but we think you will enjoy the entire episode.
Part 1- Prepping the Poles
Part 2- Unboxing our hot wall tent
Part 3- Curing our tent's wood stove
Part 4- Adventure Begins- We Setup the Tent
Part 5- Our first overnight camp in Freezing cold weather
Part 6- Our WallTentShop.com Review
The purpose and definition of a tent is "shelter". A wall tent not only provides great shelter, it also provides warmth and a place to cook with a wood stove. It's like a portable tiny house that can be setup anywhere and used in the coldest of climates. It's also the best tent because unlike traditional tents you don't have to hunch over and crawl around on the ground. When your inside a wall tent it's like being inside a small cabin. You can stand up straight. You have an area to sleep, sit and cook. Wall Tents are the BEST!
Come along with us on our wall tent adventure!

To make the tent more livable follow the following tips; In the winter you need to have an winter liner made. What an winter liner is, is a second layer of cloth that is attached to the inner wall of your tent that creates an insulating air pocket between itself and the outer tent canvas, thus insulating and quieting your tent. I have spent many a frozen night in Army tents all over the world and an insulating liner makes all the difference when it comes to winter comfort. For summer comfort have a wall screen made, what it does is allow you to roll the sides of your tent up allowing air to flow freely in and out of your tent while at the same time keeping insects, vermin and snakes out. Also, you can leave the inner winter liner in place during the heat of the summer and take advantage of its insulating properties. Dig a drainage trench around the outside of your tent having the outflow trench going down hill, this will channel rain water away from your tent keeping the inside dry. I would also install guy lines at six points around the tent to prevent high winds from blowing it over and also stake the bottom of the tent to the ground. Wooden pallets make exultant flooring! Follow these tips and your tent will be livable during all seasons and weather! Advice from an Old Army Sergeant!
Thank you sir!
Awesome!
I took a screenshot of your comment
Great advice. Thankyou!

I’m so happy to see you spending quality time with Katie. There are so many children these days who because of cell phones and technology that don’t have much interaction with their parents. What you are doing is parenting. Great job. Thanks for the awesome video.
Make sure your flue pipes are overlapping in the correct direction :)
I think it's great that you have your daughter out doing those things with you God bless you and your family
I agree! Freaking awesome!
Okay, the Forrest Gump edited in was perfect and funny as hell!
A bow saw would be a good addition to your gear box. Makes cutting wood easier. Glad to see your daughter enjoying the experience. You are making memories. Treasure these moments. They are gone in a flash.
Memories your kids will never forget, priceless.
A rake is handy to clear the snow away to bare ground and remove sticks or stones. After the tarp is put down, indoor outdoor carpeting works well for some insulation and a homey feel inside. It can be swept and washed as necessary. It can be cut in packable section and rolled if one piece is too big. A couple inches overlap is desirable and then duct tape them down. Even scraps will work.The tarp should be kept under the tent and not extend out to keep rain from seeping under. Large logs, if available around the walls and end of the tent act as a windbreak and can be tied to the walls to hold them down in wind. If sparks are a problem landing on the tent, a piece of sheet aluminum is lightweight and can be tied down on the roof or half the roof over the stove. Sheds snow too. A fireproof welders blanket can be put under the stove or a piece of sheet metal or even plywood. Spring steel paper clips in various sizes work to hang clothes to dry or hold blue tarps together if you wish to make an addition for washing up or using a propane stove. Get a folding saw to cut wood instead of that worthless hatchet. A pack ax is handy. Happy camping. If you can find used wooden folding auditorium chairs that stack, they are great for camping.
great tips- MUCH appreciated. We learned so much this first time out- but your suggestions will really help. We also now have a tent floor. I love the windbreak idea- we had a brisk breeze from under- next time we will allow more time to prep the area. We are going out into the deeps woods soon with the tent, way up north- and will use your advice and we will video that adventure too- thanks!
That was really good advice, especially the sheet of aluminum on the roof by the chimney. I never thought of that.
@@Homesteadhow Another would-be tip: make sure the tarp doesn't extend beyond the footprint of your tent or it could serve to collect water during rain or snow.
Great Tips... thanks from a Green Newbie!!
The forest gump was so funny!
The tent is cool but honestly my favorite part is you setting up the tent and spending time with your daughter. I grew up tent camping with my dad and he let me help with everything. My dad taught me how to camp. And now as a woman in my 30's I'm getting to do the same with my little boy he's 5. My mom and dad raised me in the outdoors and I hope my little one has as great memories as I do when he grows his own family. Anyway got off subject. The tent is awesome and the stove is a bonus. Nice investment.
These are memory that you and your daughter will have for the rest of your life..awsome..great job dad..God bless you and your family...
You shouldn't have publicly announced that you would be passing the tent on to your children. I made that mistake years ago by telling my kids they could have my bass boat when I'm gone and every time I coughed or sneezed they would sign a do not resuscitate order.
pocono49 murphy lol good point
It’s all fun and games until you sign a DNR for your 10 day old.
Hilarious Pocono. Thanks for the laugh
That’s love man.....
Just put in a clause for a prerequisite of the inheritance:
"must have not signed any DNR order at any given point of time with the case of the deceased".
Great family camping ⛺️. You seem like a great father. 👍
For me the biggest disadvantage to a wall tent is critters. I spent 20 years in the Air Force and 15 of those years I spent supporting the Army. Our tents were either wall tents or the Tee Pee type center pole tent. I spent a lot of time in desert areas like Arizona. We had to use large mosquito nets around out sleeping areas to keep things like scorpions and snakes, etc from invading our sleeping bags. Since then I have always preferred to have a tent with a built in floor attached to the sidewalls, that basically seal you in and don't allow critters to come visit you in the night! :)
I've been watching tent videos for 2 days. Yours is the best 😚.
I had as much fun watching your video as Katie had with her dad. It was nice seeing that beaming smile, and knowing she will remember that first time you two put up the tent.
aww, thanks for watching and stay tuned. Katie and I are planning another camping trip soon!
February 2020
A family that camps together stays together.
🌟 🌟 🌟🌟
Yes- very true!
to date one of the best videos that has been put on for wall tents that I have seen to date. Excellent job. thx.
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks to you and Katie for taking the time to shoot and post and for sharing this little piece of your lives.
Heart warming Video ...Please create more of the same.....As a Father myself of a 12 yo girl I find your relationship with your daughter really amusing and charming....Best Regards
Great Father Daughter time together ❤
God bless you and you family, i love you did this with your daughter.. It is great!!!
You spent time with your kid. Hell yeah!
Loving this video. Great to see that your daughter is having a blast with you. What a great feeling. I enjoyed my younger days with my son doing the same with our wall tent. Love camping in ours. Especially the heat of the Wall Tent. Enjoy that for many years.
Thank you there is something amazing about a wood stove in a wall tent. we are planning our next camp soon!
They are high quality. They're made to live in all year long
Yes that tent sure looks sturdy and spacious! If I had a family, I would definitely go with that! Nice video. Thanks for sharing video!
Very nice video. I also enjoy camping out of a 14 by 16 wall tent from Davis. Theres nothing quite like loading up the stove and making some nice food and coffee on the stove. I would definitely recommend using the fly if you expect heavy snow, I learned the hard way and had to send my tent for repairs because the weight of the snow ripped the canvas. Those commenting about packing the tent just dont understand what these are used for. It's like a portable hunting cabin.
Love my wall tent shop canvas tent. Had a extra door installed and Windows on each side 14'x16'
I have this exact same tent. It is on a wooden platform, and I constructed half walls on the inside. The overall effect is of a tiny cabin. I keep mine up all year round. Great tent.
My brother, nephew and I have 3 wall tents, (Davis tent and Awning, Denver). We pack in on horses for elk hunting. Been doing it for 25+ yrs. Best way to camp and hunt. Have fun!!
Thank you for sharing.
Katie will remember that night...and the Coyote's howling for as long as she lives. She can tell the story to your future grand kids. 😁That's what it's about...making treasured memories🙄 God bless your time in the wall tent.
I bet she will. I never did anything with my mom or dad that I will ever remeber so that means a lot to me as well (her mom) that Kerry does things like that with his girls.
The setup is nice. The tent is great. The time spent with your daughter is priceless. I would do the same thing with my little one. Very nice video.
Well done! Awesome video! Can't wait to see the rest!
Thanks Tyler! In our next tent video we plan to setup the fly- and cook a steak
Love these tents!
and Katie is so pretty! 😊
Great video going to be doing this with my 6 year old daughter this winter as well nothing better
Next week katie and I are packing the wall tent up, taking a road trip to up north Wisconsin and doing another camp-- cannot wait! Agreed- nothing better!
A fine looking refuge indeed,
Such a great video thank you and God bless you❤️loved your presentation and calmness of your voice
A couple of snarky remarks in the comment section. Pay no attention to them. Great video. Looks cozy. Enjoy your time away from the world.
Thanks Brian. I actually enjoy the snarky comments :) some of them are real entertaining. Thanks for watching!
Keyboard warriors wouldn't say shit to your face
When you build your tent platform, enclose the bottom to keep out critters. Scraps of texture 111 or other plywood can be used or even fire resistant homesote. It will also keep your floor warmer by keeping out wind. Use scraps of treated wood to level the platform. You can use plastic to enclose but you may need to put it on each time. Chunks of wood or stone can hold it down. Treated plywood will last longer than untreated if you plan to leave it exposed.
Great tips thanks.. We are considering using standard decking so when its not in use it could still be used as a sitting area with a metal fireplace- but still looks nice.. debating between that or the treated plywood to seal it all up. if we use a standard porch we may put a tarp down and use some outdoor carpet when the tent is in place. thanks
That blue truck is beater with a heater😂
That tents looks great it looks like you two had fun thank you for sharing 😀😀❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
Wow awesome video awesome story I'm so glad I found you I look forward to following you on your wonderful Adventure have a great time enjoy life and each other.
Great video ,thanks for posting.
Hope you and yours enjoys many camping adventures in your future.
Totally agree other than the setup time. We camp and hunt every year in cold weather but setup time is key. We ended up with a Kodiak Canvas flex bow which literally sets up in 5 minutes once you have a flat place to set it up and it is staked out. Awesome canvas tent.
Yeah can’t say anything bad about the Walltentshop shop. Pure quality! Loved the music too👍🏼
Awesome video. It’s nice that you include your daughter. I’m the same way with mine.
I see I commented a year ago. Our hunting tent was a 12X12 cabin style, external frame, with a fly and a screened vent. We set it up on a portable plywood platform. We had a sheet of clear plastic to surround the tent and tuck underneath the fly. Helped with moisture and provided insulation. Large spring steel paper clips (from an office supply store) were a cheap way to hold the plastic in place and would fit over pipe. We made a metal pipe frame addition out of homesote sheets for our wood stove and kitchen. We used treated boards for the addition floor with some large burlap bags to keep the tent cleaner. We had a strip of homesote at the bottom of the sheets to make the walls adjustable for uneven ground. We wired the pieces together. We found that liquid fire starter worked better than paper to start a fire. Paper creates floating embers that can land on the tent. A wire mesh on top of the stove pipe interfered with the draw. We guy-wired our stove pipe to trees. We used a forked stick with aluminum soda cans on the forks to hold the elbow up. We found a couple enamel top kitchen tables for the kitchen and the dining table at an auction. A piece of masonite on the kitchen table allowed hot cast iron to be set down on it and also cleaned easily. You can remove the legs for travel and reattach easily with wing nuts. Ours had drawers for storage and we put a paper towel holder on the end. We cooked on cast iron table top LP burners and had LP wall lights for the kitchen and tent. One note: if you use LP, when temperature gets to 20 below, a 20 lb. tank doesn't have enough pressure to run multiple gas appliances when the tank gets low. A 50 or 100 lb. tank is better in winter if you can transport it vertically safely and stake it down. LP tank valves don't operate when horizontal and can flame out. We had a large garage sheet metal stove our first year and the heat drove us out. The next year my stepfather, who was a sheet metal worker, made a stove which was smaller and easier to transport. It was perfect and a little smaller than yours. We routinely had nights of 20-30 below F. and stayed toasty warm without having to get up to stoke the fire. The LP appliances also added heat to the tent so in milder weather, the stove might not be needed. One nice thing about the cabin tent was the attached canopy awning on the front. It had mosquito netting which clipped to it in summer and in early fall we attached blue tarps and cooked under it. We could back a truck under it and cook on the tailgate. Very versatile. I'm sure you can do something similar with your wall tent with the stand alone awnings which are popular now. You will learn ways to improvise. We were constantly trying to improve our setup as I'm sure you will. Good camping!
Reminds me of camping with my kids when they were little squirts. They'll have kids of their own soon.
I love this video, especially that you do this with your lil girl. the music choice is excellent and I caught the little mix/mute when you opened and closed the flue....LOL
I just stumbled on this video, VERY well made and put together. Your awesome man! Subscribed! Thanks for taking the time, I loved the forest hump reference at the beginning when describing tents. Clever and fun to watch.
Very informative, thanks for sharing. I have a peice of land no house gonna check into this! I love this video
Cool kid points go to the guy using the grinder one handed with a cutoff wheel and no guard! ;) Awesome video, I really didn't expect there to be any DIY process involved, really nice to see. Great work man :)
Love how you do things like the tips
Great tent well made just a helpful hint clear away the snow then put the tarp down it won’t be as slippery or a canvas tarp works also
That is great advice "stankygeorge". I was going to point out several items, but you covered them all. Especially the trenching around the perimeter in such a way that the rain water would flow downhill and away from the tent. Make that trench deep, at least 8". Also, to bad that there was no ground tarp sewn in already tub style. For long stays, a floor is needed. I'm seriously thinking getting one of these tents. Thanks you two for showing how you put one up and I plan to keep it a while. Blessings to you and yours.
Yay for Bubba!
awesome video enjoyed it so much. hope to see more.from cape Breton nova Scotia canada
Thanks so much for watching and your nice comment! In short time we are packing up the wall tent and taking a road trip way up north Wisconsin with it-- we cannot wait and we will have a video for this as well, so please stay tuned!
Great job, dad!
Wall tents are the bomb but for me I have to say the Bell tent( Sibley) are made of the same cotton duct and come in 10 ft diameters to 20 ft. Set up is faster due to one center pole and a pole for the doorway. They also have a detachable floor . most set up in about 20 to 30 minutes with one person. And most jave a stove jack or can be installed by the manufacture or the user for the use of a wood stove. .
Awesome dad.
Well done.
😎👍
I like your tent, I have used several types when camping, but my favorite would be the bell(or yurt) tent, as it only takes 1 pole(you can even use a branch if needed) and literally sets up in 11 min.. This comes with the fireplace port and you have the ability to raise the sides when it is too hot out.. Still like your tent and should last for many years..
I think that the Yurt would be more efficient to heat, because of it being round. I've spent some time in wall tents also, you can fit a lot of comforts in them, but hard to keep warm without babysitting the fire.
@@jimplantinga6288 Well said and agree with your post.. The square tents offer more space, but they take about an hour to set up with 2 ppl, whereas the yurt is a single pole that can be easily replaced if needed.. I find the square tents a favorite for hunters.
Great video! That tent is awesome, and to be able to cook your food right on the burner is awesome brilliant
Great job
Thank you. If you liked this video, consider checking some of the recent videos we did.. we have 2 new wall tent videos! Thanks
Ground cloths are great, but there's nothing like collecting fresh boughs and covering the floor with them. You get "semi-self cleaning" floors (ice and water falls through them), a softer floor, and a wonderful smell.
Great idea, well try it. We just setup thr tent again yesterday!
Nice job Katie,...nice job "dad". Nice video.
We have used a wall tent for deer camp for the last 15 years. It’s a great time living in a tent for 5 days. For the floor we clear the snow then a layer of straw and then some old carpet . Leave the area around the stove clear. We put sand on the bottom of the stove. We have had it so hot in the tent we had to go outside to cool off. Good times!
Nice. we were almost roasted out the first hour too- until I got more of a feel for the stove. Outdoor carpet is a great tip thanks. we are heading up norht soon with the tent and cannot way to spend a few nights in it and will share a video here as well. thanks for watching and the tips
Thanks 👍
The sound of the sandhill cranes at 15:25. 👍🏼
Good job dad
Great video. Thanks. If you are looking for some awesome camping and 4-wheeling in Wisconsin, I highly recommend Flambeau River St Forest area. Beautiful area with a ton of awesome 4-wheeling trails.
Awesome video
very cool.
My dad bought a army tent from Sears in New York it look just like that one no stove.
We would have the best times in that big tent.
Lovely, memories like that are wonderful and priceless
I would have thought it’s a lot colder without s ground sheet.
I know the tarp was slippery,but it just seems it would make sense to have something over the cold snow on the ground of the tent.
Great job!
Hi mate, don't know much about the wall tents but love the area where you are camping, what a magnificent place of the world cheers from Australia and loved the video 👍
We love camping every winter great video we subscribed
Great job !!
Yeah, and those sounds of nature can keep me up all night. I’m wondering, don’t tent makers produce some sort of floor so you don’t have all that snow on the ground keeping the inside of the tent cooler than it needs to be?
Yes on year two we upgraded to a heavy tarp floor, much nicer!
i enjoyed the video so much, i just watched it again 😃
So awesome brother! i cant wait to get a tent that i can winter camp with .. i love winter and id love to winter camp
buen video gracias desde California thank-you
Hey, i have the exact same tent (and size) with the wilderness 4 stove and we love it! Don't put too much wood in the stove or you'll be sleeping outside! Enjoyed the video, now get camping!
Awesome- we really love it to and are excited to use it more--We have a fly we didn't put up in this video and had some challenges with all the snow.. but we are heading way up north Wisconsin soon with it- for a 3 day camp. Cannot wait!
Which stove did you get? I thought if I got the biggest one, I'd bake. Lol
Thanks for the review. My husband and I are looking at this brand for our tent house. It looks so sturdy. I'm so excited to get it!
We love this tent, it does exactly what it says it will do and what it will withstand. Keeps us warm in the winter snowy nights. I hope you do get one, they are so worth it and will last a lifetime
@@Homesteadhow We got one and just had it delivered last week. We're working on a platform and cannot wait to get it up!
Enjoyed the video, subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
We got the same tent from Sears in
New York but no stove it was green.
We had great times up in the mountains
with te family.
Best intro in TH-cam history. Subbed.
Thank you, we worked hard on this video. You may also enjoy our greenhouse videos as well.
Good dad!
Who could find anything wrong with this video thanks for sharing best wishes for a happy new year 2020 and beyond
Nice video .big hug from Portugal
Definitely the best, I call them ranger tents. Comfort in extreme arctic conditions
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Nothing like getting away from society.
The place to me its so beautiful !
Homestead 2021 order on Amazon, wait for delivery, and now we pioneer!
Delightful video ☺️
great channel 👍 and nice videos
Very kool. As a kid in the early 50s I was in the scouts and we allways used wall tents. They are great. They were this quality cause everything we bought was made in the USA. As i grew older in the scouts we still used them. When I got older I bought army surplus wall tents. They were massive and great in the winter. In my 70s now and I wouldn't consider any of these flimsey unsafe things they call tents now. We used to have flat bed trucks that carried the decks in 2 pieces to set up on. Very stable. I have a Hustler sidewinder with tracks now. Used to have Max II and Max 4. Nicely done video. What did ur tent kit ( sans local tubing purchase) cost? Hope you did follow up video of the family at the tent. I live in the mountains on nearly 200 acres. You have a nice property. Thanks. Enjoyed it. Dan
Looks like you have a "ridge angle" in the middle of the wall on the stove side instead of a "wall angle" which is what's making that leg stick into the tent. You might want to pick up the floor for the tent if you didn't get one. They're quite nice.
I loved the sound of the Sandhill cranes. You can't be too far from the MN border.
We are more centrally located- My wife asked- did you add those cranes in when editing.. Nope- they were real!
@@Homesteadhow they are very distinct. I often hear then when preparing food plots in the spring and in the early fall while deer hunting.
You done good.
