Overnight Ski Camping with a Hex Pomoly Hot Tent

- It has always been a dream of mine to have the perfect base camp setup so that I can go out further into the backcountry and explore lines that not too many people go to. This is not the lightest setup for ski packing but it does get fairly warm with the stove burning.
This video is not sponsored by Pomoly, this is simply me trying out my newly purchased Hex Pomoly tent to try it out for winter ski packing and winter camping. I didn't see too many videos on TH-cam with this particular tent so I wanted to highlight it to help other people out if they are interested in purchasing it. My experience with the customer service and delivery times was really positive.
I decided to go with Pomoly for now to try out the whole winter camping with a stove to see how it goes. I am still learning and my hope is to be able to take my ski touring to the next level (location and comfort wise).
I did not use stakes and I instead cut off branches from the tree to use them. I find that they work just as good or sometimes even better. For sleep I use a western mountaineering sleeping bag with an Exped sleeping pad. I also have a homemade lumbar wrap that goes on the ground.
For max comfort and warmth I made my own boot bags which I put over my booties. I find this to be a life savor.
Let me know your experiences with winter camping/ski packing. I think the possibilities are endless and I am excited to do more. Also, let me know in the comments if you would like to see more of this type of content and what else I should include in it, i.e. more talking, less talking, no music, or music.

Absolutely fantastic. Great trip. I snowmobile in the north east and hot tent as a base camp to ride other areas. Cozy warm, go to bed, wake up ,get warm, go out, return, get warm, dry gear and repeat. Nice system you have to go out and enjoy the backcountry. I haven’t snowboarded in years and want to start some backcountry cold camp trips and eventually hot tent like you. Fantastic, nice powder and lines, beautiful area and all to yourself. Great camp. 😊❤️🇺🇸❄️☃️🛷🔥⛺️🌄
One of my friends has a Kifaru tent and stove. we had a foot of snow dumped on us at Kinney Point above Hell's Canyon. the stove really does heat up the inside. Great video, Dan.
Thank you Ron! I appreciate your support for my channel and for your friendship.
Love watching your videos Dan from Ketchum, ID. Itching to get back out wilderness skiing when Mother Nature decides to cooperate.
Thanks! We will get snow. I know we will.
Great idea of the hot tent. I have always wanted to do remote winter mountaineering but this might be a good way of making that happen since it always takes so much energy to get out to places. It just often doesn't make sense to do day adventures.
I’m so far from perfecting this. I think the current set up I have is too heavy, but compare a hot tent to just a regular tent and it makes a world of difference to have a place where you can dry your clothes with a fire. I’m still trying to figure out how to best sleep warm and not feel any cold at all. This night in particular I felt some bit of cold from my sleep pad, which I may be able to mitigate from putting needle branches from the trees on the snow where I sleep.
What brand of gloves liners do you use. And you main gloves too? Do you use heated socks?
Gloves for procuring wood are Wells Lamont Cold Weather gloves. My regular gloves are Hestra @@user-yh2km6dd8c
Careful with pine branches under your pad, wouldn't want to inadvertently pop it. As far as pads check out the thermarest neo air xtherm, great for snow and quite lightly. Alternatively supplement your pad by stacking a rest underneath. I cut a zrest in half that I bring with me sometimes as a seat for lunch breaks etc. can also put your empty pack under your legs under the pad for more insulation
Damn, im surprised the TH-cam algo never showed me this video cuz its right up my alley! Glad i checked out your channel after watching some of your skihop vids, perfect content rihht here
Love your comment!
That’s a sweet setup Dan! I want to see a little more in depth on all the products you’re using. I like the idea of getting out there on some campouts when the kids are a little bigger. A boy can dream, am i right? Miss you bud
AUSTIN!
Nice man!
Thank you for the awesome video. What was between you and the snow on the ground to keep you warm while sleeping?
I have lumber wrap, a Walmart blue pad that you can see on my backpack, and my Exped sleeping pad
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Surprised you have snow!
Right! It is not much.
