- It's good in the woods turns three! To celebrate I am heading out on a 2 night, 3 day hot tent adventure on the Appalachian Trail! Returning to the trail I made my first youtube video on. I am trying out my newest hot tent, The Seek Outside Cimarron, in combination with my Seek Outside Large titanium stove! Hauling in some real good food and enjoying some good company.
Joining me is my good friend Craig @MeetMeOutside We enjoyed 3 days of all kinds of various weather, filet mignon, fried haddock and scenery! We had the place all to ourselves. A good time.
Thank you for three years of support!

Great use of that strap to hold the stove together while threading the legs. Simple solution to an annoying (sometimes) problem. Congrats on the channel's anniversary. Great to see you out and sharing your adventures. Take care and until next time....be well.
That strap really makes things easier. Thank you for watching and commenting. All the best to you
Awesome video man and glad ya shook that headache off!!!!
Thank you
Hey, I just came across your channel, very cool. I had an 8 man seek outside with the sxl stove back when I lived in Michigan. Sold it. Now in Colorado I want a hot tent again but am kicking around the cimmeron for weight savings and ease of setup compared to the circular tipi. I like the glass door you put on the stove. What material is that? Where did you get it? Anyway, I look forward to checking out more of your videos, take care.
The reasons you mention are exactly why I love this tent. It is really light, and sets up quick due to the layout. It is a nice set up for sure. The glass door, I made that. It is a great DIY mod. Really easy to make as well. Here is the link to the video I made of the processth-cam.com/video/ZDVvVEgpZbM/w-d-xo.html&t
That trick with the webbing and buckle is pretty solid. Going to do that from here on out. Can be tricky to put my SXL together when it's cold and I'm tired.
it makes the process much easier. Give it a shot. I think you'll like it
Hey Justin 👋🏽 is that the same area you took the canoe out at the start of the freezing of the lake. Looks very similar to your canoe in and trek out video 🇨🇦 like your vids bro.
This is not the same spot. Craig and I both had never been here until this trip! I have been on the trail, but had never made it to the pond.
Listen to your body! ….. sage advice. Great video from a beautiful spot.
It pays off that is for sure. It was so nice out there. Thank you for watching
Amazing video boss but don’t put your license plate in the videos just sayin
A good suggestion
Great weekend brother ! Despite your headache and me soaking a foot ! We managed though, that’s all that matters. Great video, some really cool shots. Again, congratulations on three years of awesome videos man ! Cheers !
Always a good time. No fun if there isn't some adversity.
So the snow doesn’t melt with the heater and become a muddy mess?
I’m interested in using one for a late season elk hunt
The snow will melt. But I have yet to be in a situation where it created a muddy mess. It is possible in the right circumstance though.
would you get the double zipper again or would you get one side with zipper only?
That is a great question. I would absolutely opt for 2 doors. I enjoy the versatility of 2 doors.
That was one of the best looking Ramen bombs I’ve seen. Also I didn’t know Meet Me Outside was Craig. That’s cool. He comments on a lot of videos.
I'm telling ya man, this dehydrated mix makes all kinds of meals real good. And the wings!!!!!!! dude
Also happy birthday you cute little toddler!
big hugs
Happy birthday its good in the woods. I'm so jealous what an awesome area. I've got a trip scheduled soon with my awesome ⛺. The food porn segments were HAWT lmao thank you for all that you do brotha
I am looking forward to seeing you out enjoying that tent!
Congratulations on 3 years. Great journey.
Thank you
Beautiful area for camping. I haven’t worn my snowshoes since the last time I saw you. Fresh fish for breakfast. Nice!!
Cool video brother. See you soon 👊🏻
I'll be seeing you soon my man!!!!!
Quick question - if I have the Minipeak XL, should I upgrade to the Seek Outside Cimarron? In your opinion, do the benefits of the Cimarron outweigh that of the Minipeak XL? Thanks!
This is an excellent question. For me it was worth every penny. American made, bigger, lighter, it's awesome. Plenty of room for my sleep system, stove, chair, wood, gear and more.
POMOLY tent? 😁 you better say good about it hahaha joke😂🤣 from hot tenting, subbed. Nice trip.
Hahahahahaha! Nope. No pomoly products in this one. You are correct though, I should be careful about what I say. I don't want to upset their poster boy and get removed from more groups Hahahaha.
Thanks for stopping by and supporting the channel. Very much appreciated
Good video and trip. Going to bring along a collapsible 1 - 3 liter container next time? I would prefer that Seek Outside tent over the Pomoly tent.
I was fairly irritated with myself for leaving it at home. I only have 3 of em' LoL. In my short experience with this tent, I can tell with a certain degree of confidence that it is far superior to a Pomoly tent. I am very happy to have this tent.
Headaches suck man. I get them often so I can certainly feel that pain. I don't leave home without Advil or Ibuprofen of some sort. Grats on the 3 year mark!
They can really put a damper on things
Just found your channel and subbed. Great content. What are your feelings about Large stove Cimarron combo? I'm "spending money" in my head right now, wanting both a Cimarron for lighter/faster/farther hikes solo or with my son, and also a 6 man tipi for shorter trips and dedicated rotten weather extended stays. I'm thinking the Large stove is ideal for the Cimarron and the XL would be best for the 6 man, BUT maybe an SXL might do double-duty for both tents with only an additional pipe purchase. I like to save money, but would rather buy once and find perfection than upgrade later. You thoughts and experience are appreciated. I realize it's only money and ounces, but I like to save both when I can. :)
The Cimarron and large stove combo is perfection in my world. Such a great combo.
Your theory is sound. I agree with it, and it is an excellent question. In a perfect world, both tents and both stoves! In a more practical world, I believe the SXL would serve as a double duty in this situation. That is the stove I would get if I wanted one stove to use in those 2 tents.
The large heats the cimarron very well. If it is going to be your solo palace, I don't think the little extra bit of space the SXL takes up will much matter. It may be just a tad on the small side for the 6 man, but I can tell you for sure I have used my stove in spaces that are "too big" and it was fine. These stoves crank out heat. But they need to be fed every other hour or so.
I hear ya about saving weight and money. I do believe the SXL will do what you want it to. At the very least, it will be a very good start for you to learn what it is that will work best for you. Down the road you can always buy a bigger stove for the 6 man if you want. It'll certainly take it. And some time with the gear will tell you if it will jive with what you are looking for.
Also worth considering, how much do you see yourself using these stoves? If the answer is a lot, you may want 2 stoves to ease the work load and wear and tear. I just closed out my 4th winter with my stove. It has been my primary stove this whole time and has been used a lot. It is still here and working just fine. The panels are warped(to be expected) but when assembled the stove holds its shape and works as it should. They will hold up to years of abuse. But I see another bigger one in my future for those bigger tents.
I don't really think you can go wrong either way. These things are expensive, Personally I would start with the SXL and go from there.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thank you for subscribing and supporting the channel
One minute in. I hit the Like button. I section hiked the AT through there back in 1988. They were relocating sections of the trail back then, putting in roads for a housing development south of there. Got your Seek Outside tent 👍. I have a stove in my shopping basket and am trying to see if I can get a first time buyer discount. I want to buy American as much as I can. Eating good in the woods, as usual!
Happy anniversary to your channel!
Just recently I have realized that I have enough American made gear to make me want to focus on getting more LOL
Great spot, campsite, lake and view. Nice video I like the effects. The tent fading away was unique. You come across like a smooth cat. Your dialogue, equipment, adventures, techniques, property and filming are all really complete.
Your comment is awesome! I try to present the channel as a lifestyle. I admit, I could do a better job at it, but for the most part, I am pleased with the effort. To have you round it all out in one comment is rewarding for me.
Happy 3rd Birthday 🥓🎉🧁
Thank you
Very good videography!
Thank you very much
Pro's make it look easy. Bravo
Much appreciated! Thank you
Hey 👋🏽 IGITW. Way to go on three years eh. I’m a Canadian fan 🇨🇦 keep on making the vids bro.
Thank you for supporting the channel from Canada!
That stove pipe action was great. Steak looked so good.
A filet mignon for birthday celebrations! Off the hook dude
Awesome outing looked perfect, so pumped to get the Cimarron top notch kit right there!!😁✌️💚
This was a good time. You are gonna love that tent! It's so nice
get video and you got such a good setup for camp. Thanks for putting this out.
Sheila Vancouver BC Canada
Thank you very much! I have been working on this set up for years!
There are somethings flying around your tent. One @ 8:14 actually was on the tent but it kind of looks like an optical illusion caused by dust on your lens but I'm not so sure about that. It seemed to move faster than your camera did as you panned to the right. Another one @ 8:21 is much smaller and is flying towards the tent. They are both white and quite visible.
Those are light reflecting off the lens of the camera. I am quite sure of it.
Beautiful location. Definitely had a slight breeze that first evening . We’re having our typical bi-polar winter / spring. 30 one day and near 80 the next . Have a great day
Hahahahahahaha! Yes we are. Lol
Hey Justin, thinking about pulling the trigger on this. Is it worth it ? I’ve never owned a hot tent. Thinking about getting one up in NH this winter.
For some it is worth it. Others not so much. I would recommend you try out some cheaper hot tents first. Learn what you like and what you don't. Develop a list of what works for you. Once you have some experience and figure out what suits you best, then get the expensive tents if that is what you want. It would suck to drop $500 on a tent just to discover you don't like it.
Congratulations on the anniversary ! Another nice trip ! Nice tent as well. Glad to see you like it so far.
This tent.........dude !!!!
Stunning scenery Justin and good to see the hot tent. Nothing like a crashing headache to immobilise you but a great sleep is a good cure all. Never mind looks like a great trip with Craig..he's a trouper! Congratulations on 3 years of very enjoyable videos!
I love my new tent! The headache not so much LOL. It was still a fun trip! It all worked out! Good fun. Thank you for all the support over these years
Happy birthday IGITW! Congrats dude! 🙂
Thank you sir!
That was the smoothest chimney unroll/roll ever. Good idea with the strap for the stove too.
That strap trick makes things go much smoother
I'm loving the tent dude! Beautiful scenery out there too. And that steak......🤤
Thanks man! That steak was off the hook dude. A filet mignon. Absolutely delicious.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods cooked it right too... major win in the woods!!
Another great one from you. Toi bad about the headache. But great the rest went well.:
An adventure isn't an adventure if there is no adversity
Awesome video! Congrats on 3 years and thanks for sharing man! 💪💯
Thank you!!
Cool Vid Man! Looks like a Buck Selkirk! I just added one of those to my collection. I'm digging everything you did to shave a pound here and there so you could carry along those great eats. I'm glad you felt better for the hike out, I get headaches like those and they never come at an opportune time. One of my winter trips 2 years ago I developed vertigo and that wasn't fun at all. Good thing I was with some buddies to help me out.
You have a good eye! It has been a good knife so far. I don't really know the specs. But it seems like pretty soft steel. Easy to sharpen, gets dull quick. But for the price, I'm not afraid to pound on it and it seems to be holding up well.
I enjoy the light weigh hot tenting approach. Makes a huge difference in what is possible. It is nice being able to get a system like this into the woods in a manageable pack. That headache was no fun man. no fun. I'm sure vertigo can't be that much fun either lol. Glad you had some buddies there for ya. That could have been a lot worse
@@ItsGoodintheWoods yeah! I was walking in circles and falling down! And when I tried fighting it I got sicker than a dog! Never want that again!
@@hike-bike-paddle-and-drone That must have been nerve wracking
What a beautiful spot. Really like your new set up. Gotta love Seek!
Thanks man! I really like this tent. What an upgrade! Seek makes awesome stuff
Love fresh caught mountain pond haddock! Don’t get much better than that lol.
Bahahahahahaha the freshest yo
My favorite 2 guys!!! Sweet campsite.
It was a nice one
Happy 3rd Year to you.
Thank you
@@ItsGoodintheWoods no. thank you for the cool videos.
Congrats on 3yrs, the channels going 💪 strong. I dig the new tent . Quick question: Megahorn vs Minipeak xl? Which do you prefer? Keep ‘‘em coming!✌️
Neither!! Lol 😆✊🔥
Thanks man! Megahorn if you want more room and capability for 2 and a stove. MPXL if you want a lightweight solo hot tent.
Be warned that Luxe has some sketchy customer service. I have ordered from them 5 times without issue. But a lot of people are having issues with them. This was a contributing factor for me getting a Seek Outside tent. With all the wide spread complaints, I can no longer confidently recommend or promote the company. I have already sold off two of my luxe tents. If someone buys a tent on my recommendation and gets ripped off I would feel terrible. That said, they make real good tents for the price. But are you willing to take the chance......?
Hahahahaha
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks for the reply. I already own the Megahorn and am quite happy with the quality, just wondering if it’s worth getting the MPXL as well.
@@Woodswalker1965 The MPXL, all politics aside, is one hell of an awesome tent. It has been my favorite solo hot tent for years now. It is absolutely worth getting. I'm certainly not selling that one.
It is a lot smaller than the megahorn. But for what it is there is plenty of space. It is extremely easy to pitch. Has 2 awesome doors that offer many configurations. Plenty of space. light weight. It is just awesome. It is made from the same material as the megahorn, but it is ripstop.! 68 d ripstop polyester. It's just an awesome solo hot tent.
Forgot to mention awhile ago; hit up your local dollar store and buy a 14" cookie tray to put under your titanium stove. It helps to reduce snow melt, keeps it level in winter conditions, and provides a space to warm food.
..or 12", just enough to extend past legs. Tray weighs nothing
@@MichealBacon I have a cookie sheet that I modified a few years ago. Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. I knew there was not a lot of snowpack out there, so I opted to leave it at home.
It does work very well.
Great trip video. Sorry that your plans changed. Glad everything worked out with your headache and Craig's wet boot. I made note of the pond. That's a part of the Whites I haven't been to and it's under 2hrs from me to the trailhead. Thank you again for the video.
P.S. NH Fish & Game says that pond contains brookies and I've got some new fishing gear for backpacking that I need to use this year. :-)
It's a pretty nice area out there.
I had read that. I suspect the area is quite busy that time of year. There is an access road to it that is closed in the winter.
Congratulations on three great years!
Thank you David
It’s Good In The Woods!
Yeah buddy!
Happy anniversary brother
Thank you Larry!
Love it
Thank you
Great Vid! I've been there several times in the summer.
How was it? Packed?
@@ItsGoodintheWoods sometimes its busy, especially when the thru hikers are coming through. There is a dirt access rd to the pond on the other side but it was a bit sketchy for my Tacoma. Your new truck looks nice!
@@cduhaime27 I went over and checked out the road. We were actually at a campsite that was over on that side of the pond. We were not at the site the AT ers use. It was a pleasant surprise to find
I love that truck man. I have been in F 150's most of my life. The downsize concerned me. I'm happy to report that it is no issue at all. I am a fan
Ou yeaah, great saturday for us.
Awesome! Thank you. I hope you enjoy it
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I did, very much so, congrats on the 3 years.
