Join me as I set up my hot tent campsite and some scenes of my time spent there, stay tuned by subscribing for the upcoming spring and summer camping season.
Exactly what im doing now in hawaii with the 6mm tent. No snow, no cold, its heavenly ❤ been tenting 6 years and this is my upgrade from the Costco Car Tent. DO IT!!!❤❤❤ rainy, so I built a wood cover for heavy Pvc tarp, no wet floors🎉 20x25 are my dimensions. Great Lanai aka porch for ☕
Iv spent a lot of time running a yurt/ tent business and I can give you all a few bits of advice. Keep your tent tight. There should be no sag on any angle. Sag leads to moisture and moisture leads to mould. Always dry your tent. If your planning on packing early you will need to erect your tent again in 48 hours or the mould will ruin your canvas. Other than that they are awesome
I really enjoyed watching the deck build and tent setup. I have a White Duck Regatta 13 bell tent and will soon be purchasing a lot, so I had already been thinking about the setup. Your video was very instructive, and I love your style (If us boring old guys can be said to have a “style”😂) New subscriber😊
Except for the hot tent feature, it’s just like the Soul Pad. We have a 12/13 ft Soul Pad that we take to Medieval events and Renaissance Festivals. I absolutely love the built in ground cover.
Hello i love your proyect. I’m on the process of looking for a tent that can make a good performance in winter and i was wonderind how’s being your experience 2 years later and also the model of the tent pleaseeee❤
Wow..nice setup 👌 It would cost a fortune to build that deck,with the price of lumber these days. Yeah! you need a bigger stove for the size of the tent. I would go with Bereg lrg stove,has glass side with heat protection panels,sides and back( can be removed) but pricey. I have the Bereg UP2 hot tent with med stove and insulated underpad. Also added 6x9 vestibule that zips to the tent...also has a stove jack. You can store your skidoo or ATV or store wood,extra gear,cook...ect. Best hot tent ever owned. Thanks for the share 👊 💥 🇨🇦 💥👊
I was going to purchase a Bereg Up2 hot tent, but wasn't sure how it would be in the summertime if using full time. Decided on a canvas bell tent. But I just loved the insulated floor in the Bereg (and the pop out door!)
I wish i could find a place to do this. Im so tired of the hussle n bussle...i live in the hottest place in America. 120+ in the summer. Im over it. I want trees n just a little snow. But to be able to let go would be amazing. I realize thats not what you are doing here..but it helps me dream about it so thank you
Love this. It's long been a dream of mine to get a patch of woodland here in Wales and do this. I have a 5m bell tent that I use to camp all year with the family, we have a Swedish cast iron stove, which heats the tent up really well. Liked the tips on the decking area for the guy lines. Did you put that stove jack in yourself? Thanks.
Thanks for making this awesome video. Does the bottom of the tent get moldy? Does the wood deck help the tent bottom's condensation evaporate? Because the tent bottom is plastic, right? Wish I could hire you to build my deck!
I built my deck with spacing between the boards to enable water to drain and not to cause moisture build up on the base of the tent, the floor of the tent is plastic and does not get mouldy.
Love it . Thinking of doing the same But How did you get all that wood to the site? Trail or road nearby? UTV? Power tools used at all? Battery powered or generator?
@@OutdoorsMyLife really sucks, since ordinances usually say "nothing under 1000 Sq ft allowed". Been looking for years. I might have to go up north and squat
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you for the reply. I would be interested in spending a spring in a similar cabin, but our area has a few black bears around. That is one guest I wouldn't want to have stopping by for breakfast.
@@OutdoorsMyLife I'm in Muskoka . I was thinking of Glamping out two tents on my property. What general area are you in? I see some farmland in your videos.
Purposely attracting birds into your campsite by feeding them is going to get bird sh#t all over your expensive tent ! Waste seed on the ground will attract rodents. How ... are mice getting inside a closed tent to chew on things inside IF ... they haven't chewed a hole in the tent ? You'd better invest in a cat.

Dude ... any advise how to do this without being chased out? Been struggling trying to do the same thing in the same area

You're living the dream. Wish I could get a tent big enough for my whole family. God bless.
You can do it!
Get multiple tents but put them close by

Hello and good morning. Iam also from sw Ontario nice to see people out using the property 👍

Ground covers are great
Good idea for the wood rack by the door!
It's handy when you don't want to much cold air getting in, you can get the wood into the tent very fast
Wasn’t sure how to do my strings thank you for the good idea of using sticks for the sides
Thanks for watching
Extremely helpful as I'll be doing this by myself. Appreciated and thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video
You can! I'm 64, 5 ft tall 100 lbs and did this all alone❤
Amazing !
Thank you for your tips 😁
Cheers from south of France 🇫🇷
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great camp! My wife and I just bought a small piece of land to do just this. Thank you for the great ideas.
Enjoy your time at your new campsite
This is a beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing.

Neat. Just the kind of video I was looking for!

Hi man,looks a fabulous set up.😍🏕Just one thing missing,man,A dog🐕 🍺🍺 🤠 Keith France.
Excellent setup! Stainless steel really shines in heat retention, ✨️ lol unlike titanium heat loss is its biggest downside!!😁✌️💚
I agree, I’m planning to get a new stove next year
@@OutdoorsMyLife Pomoly is a great lightweight stove as well but my Winnerwell is just the Cadillac of stoves hahaha 😁✊🔥
Hello i love your proyect. I’m on the process of looking for a tent that can make a good performance in winter and i was wonderind how’s being your experience 2 years later and also the model of the tent pleaseeee❤
It’s a stout tent, if you are looking to use it only for winter camping it will do very well
Thank you very much for the answer, i'll have a look of this brand ❤
It’s also the best way to feed squirrels 😂
Squirrels need to eat too

For part of the year I have access to the site with my truck, I have to cross a farmers field to get there
How much snow thickness on the top of a canvas tent can they hold before there's risk of them tearing open? Thanks.
I have had more than six inches of snow on my tent before
Awesome job I am planning on setting up a tent site in the Caribbean. Love how detailed your videos. Where can I purchase these tents
Just go online and search for a bell tent, it should show you several options for that style of tent
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you
Excellent video. Did you set your platform to the south so as to catch the sun on your tent entrance?
Yes I did
I'm in the same area and been wanting to do the same thing. Having a tough time figuring where I can do this
It’s a problem unless you own property with a bush on it

Are bears a concern in your area? Just wondering if you are keeping food inside the tent, or if it isn't something you need to worry about.
There are no bears in my area
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you for the reply. I would be interested in spending a spring in a similar cabin, but our area has a few black bears around. That is one guest I wouldn't want to have stopping by for breakfast.
At the beginning I saw that rodent go hopping off on the drone shot of the front. Are the rodents hard to keep out of these things?
I have always had problems keeping mice out of my tent
Incredible set up. What is the size of your platform?
14 feet by 20 feet
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thank you!
Hey! Just like me in a way.
Enjoy
How does one level those deck blocks and keep that way? I know it's just a platform so not the most crucial to worry about settling, but still.
Levelling was quite easy I just cut the posts that sit in the blocks to the correct length, I haven't checked to see if it is still level
@@OutdoorsMyLife Thanks! Looks great and like a ton of fun regardless. :)
Nice option for those with lots of money..
Yes, true
Could make the platform out of pallets to save moneys
Are there any permitting issues? I would love to put a couple on a property. Good job on the deck.
I don't think there would be any permit issues if it is on your own property, depending on where you live.

What is the tent size?
13 feet
0:45 I saw a mouse come out
He went back in again too, never could get rid of him
Wear the bears. Thanks. Grace.
No bears where I live
What bigger stove would you consider for a tent that size?
Something with a fire box that is about 12 x 12 inches by 18 inches
@@OutdoorsMyLife any stove in particular? Brand / model?
@@Scruffers2011 I haven't decided what stove to get yet

I saw it too when I was editing the video
45 seconds into the video your pet mouse escaped.

@@OutdoorsMyLife lol those buggers always do
How easy can mice chew through that? There’s a lot of mice in my woods and I wanted to do this but I’m afraid it will be a waste after chewed on.
I haven't had any problems with mice chewing on my tent, I have had problems with mice getting inside my tent and chewing on things thin side it
