I know that this is a fairly young channel, but you guys are awesome. I am living full time in a backpacking tent and find inspiration in what you share. Keep up the amazing content! And I can’t wait to see what you two do next!
My family and I are about to move into bell tents full time. We’re going to have two. Your video has completely inspired us to have doors. We’re also building earthen floors. Our kids are so excited.
I'm so happy that the door video has inspired you guys. Sounds like quite an adventure. Earthen floors are a really great idea. Easy to clean/sweep. Major upgrade from rugs. Thanks for the comment. Hope it's a blast for you guys!
I love your door and your video’s are so wonderful and full of so much helpful info. You have in inspired me to up grade and buy myself a bell tent and add a door as well… Thank you
Hello there brother just came across your video and I have to say big fan. Quick question what is the lowest temperature that you guys have to go through? Because I'm planning to move to Kentucky in my land. And a half hour heavy duty wall tent. I am asking because I live in Miami Florida and the cost of living is killing me. I'm paying over $2,200 a month not including the electricity and the food. Brother that's the case I'll be for moving to my land and Kentucky and pay every month $163 a month for my land. What is the coldest temperature you guys had to go through. I know the coldest temperature in Kentucky gets what I'm located up to 15 and 12°?
Hey there bud. Thanks for the comment. We have gone through -15 F in our winters here. We have done three winters in the tent. It is not the same level of comfort as in a house obviously but there are some great things you get in terms of living with natures rhythms and such. It is possible to survive relatively comfortably in a tent like this during a cold season. The hard part is making sure your water system is still usable in freezing weather. We still haven't totally figured it out.
Thanks for this! We just bought a bell tent. We want to make this an extra space from our skoolie. Something to expand a little. I just subscribed to your channel will be looking for new videos!
I'm selling my house and moving into a bell tent. Dig the idea of adding those wooden braces instead of using guy lines. Really dig the door ideas. Thanks!
Hey love the videos, I'm currently living in a bell tent too and wondered if before you added your door did you have any leaking, I live in Ireland and the Heavy rain is coming through the bottom door zips both sides and I'm having to keep moping It up before it wrecks my carpet, would appreciate any help.
Hey there. Yes we had a bit of leaking and the way we ended up fixing it was by getting some sprayable silicon and we sprayed the whole zipper area around the footprint of the tent. We were never going to unzip that part of the tent anyway so it made sense for us. Hope this helps.
@@lordsofpondland yes thank you, I'm looking into that now as we plan on building a door at some point but we have literally just moved over to Ireland so will be some time before we have enough resources and time to build one, love the way you have done it with the storage in the door, making use of otherwise wasted space
@@gandalfthegreet Hey glad I could help and hopefully this gives you some ideas to expand from. It's a good amount of work to get everything set up but great connection with nature. Happy adventures!
Hey there. Unfortunately our tent is no longer with us but I would still give it a positive rating. It was super durable and lasted being full time setup for almost four years. It is a Danchel tent. Quite affordable compared to some other brands. There were a couple of things we did to actually make it livable like the door and such but overall a really good tent. Just make sure you watch our other video on the tour of the tent for more tips. Hope this helps!
cool video! How is the tent holding up? I'm going to buy one and was wondering what size would you suggest for two people and possibly a little dog. Thanks for the video. I have alot of ideals and questions. Did you get the warranty with the tent? And was It helpfull if you did? I watched a couple of videos and subscribed to your channel. Neat stuff man, keep up the good work
Its been holding up wonderfully. We have had it set up full time for 2.5 years and it has never ripped or broken in any way and it has been through a lot of different storms and such. I would recommend to get the biggest size. The reality is that a 20footer still isn't huge and the more space you have the better. It feels smaller just because bell tents have low walls. We did not get the warranty with the tent as we purchased it from a guy who buys pallets of returned stuff. I do recommend the Danchell tents though. Really has been durable for the money. So glad you have enjoyed the videos. Thanks a bunch for subscribing and let me know if I can help with anything else.
This is awesome! I see that you chopped off top corners of the door. Did you have the option to build higher or did the tent restrict you? Asking cause I'm 6' 5" 😂😅
We drove around, looked on zillow and realtor.com, and then we crawled around on a lot of different land until we found the one that was the right price and what we wanted.
Having a wood wall helps stop condensation ,having it on both ends will stop [t. You left out a important part the gue set above the door for bracing , you don.t want a wobblie wall. lol
I didn’t need to but a brace above the door because I screwed the 2 by 12 plank into the wooden deck. Good point though and didn’t know about the condensation and doors. With the one door we still experienced condensation without a rain fly. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the encouragement! Happy camping.🙃
I'm sitting in my belle tent watching vids about living in belle tents 😆 thanks for the vid, great idea ❤
What kind of bell tent do you live in?
When I am moved to our new property I am doing this. Thank You so much for showing how!
Absolutely! I’m glad you found it helpful

Glad it could be a help for you. Thanks for the comment and good luck with your adventures.
Nice!! We use the same tent and end up leaving the zippers open because of the hassle. Always worried about security as well.
LOVE IT!
How did you do the wood braces for the guide lines ? I want to do that, plus the door.
The guide line braces are just secured to the deck with landscape wood and then wood angle braces. Then the guide lines are tied to the wood post.

These videos are awesome. I'm moving into my bell tent this spring also in Ireland. Oakley Tong how have you found the winter in it?
What size is this tent?? You also mentioned a cover? Could give more details or a like tonthe cover?, thanks!!
The tent is 20 foot diameter. It is by Danchell. As for the cover. It is a bell tent rainfly for a 6m or a 20 ft diameter bell tent.
Love it! What brand is your tent? Is it holding up well?There are sooo many brands! I’m not sure which to get

thanks for the idea. just curious, how large is your tent? 5x5?
It is a 20ft diameter bell tent.
I'm about to get a 7m diameter bell tent and am wondering how big yours is?
Mine is the 6m version!
I thought it was a video on how to have a door bell on your tent.😀
LOL!
Hola just passing by to say I miss you all
Love you big time. ❤️❤️
My name is Luis. I love your tent. And or lief😊 we have a rv 27 feet we love it.have a good day. 6:28 ❤
Thanks for the comment Luis! Appreciate it and hope you enjoy your RV life!
This is awesome! I see that you chopped off top corners of the door. Did you have the option to build higher or did the tent restrict you? Asking cause I'm 6' 5" 😂😅
Thanks. The tent restricts you. You would have to resew the tent into a different shape which for me would be very difficult.
Do you think this would work for a wall tent?
Definitely! Same concept should work for sure.
How did you find "land" to setv up living quarters? No one ever discusses one of the most important factors.
We drove around, looked on zillow and realtor.com, and then we crawled around on a lot of different land until we found the one that was the right price and what we wanted.
@@lordsofpondland Thank you!

What the strongest wind Resistance have you occurred
Very strong. We had strong winds here and have never had a problem for 3+ years.
What size is your bell tent?
It is a 20' diameter.
someone stole my bell tent when i was in process of moving and i’m so sad
No way. That really sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.
🇺🇲👍👍💯🇺🇲tky
6 minutes he talk only about door!!
🤭
Just trying to make it clear for people to recreate this if they so wish!
