TURNING ANOTHER ICE FISHING TENT INTO A HOT TENT - BIGGER & BETTER!! (Cold & Windy Overnight TEST!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video, I turn yet another ICE FISHING TENT into a HOT WINTER TENT. I take a brand new Eskimo 949i shelter and use a minimal amount of tools and effort to convert in into a shelter suitable to handle a small tent stove. Cutting wood, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cooking up great meals make up this overnighter which is hailed a success on all counts. Come along with Willow and I on this exciting journey to see how all the challenges unfold!
Thanks for tuning in,
Chuck Porter

*Great lightweight shelter. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s love how it blocks the light from outside. It was a pain to open the first time but now that it is broke in goes up easy..*
Totally agree. Tks Will👍
Willow is such a beautiful dog ! I think she agrees to go camping with you for "the food" !
Haha. She certainly enjoys her food...but then so do I!!!! Lol. 👍
The bigger the piece of wood, the longer it will burn. Use cut pieces to start the fire and big pieces to keep it going. Don’t chop all your wood. We call the big ones all-nighters.
Great tip. I used the same method, however, most all this wood had a thin layer of ice on the outside and so splitting it to access the dryer inside section was my best option. Thanks for tuning in with a good experienced tip👍
Thanks for the great tips. The idea of a soldering iron to trim the fabric is smart.
From the comments I've read, everyone likes the content, but loves Willow more.
You 2 Have a new fan in Ontario.
Haha. Willow always steals the spotlight and I’m fine with that lol. Tks for tuning in👍
I love the way you treat like your son the dog😍😍😍
Lol. She gets treated like one of the family. Even better sometimes it’s said!!👍
As a hot tent owner, if I were to do it again I'd definitely go with ice fishing tent with modified stove jack. Next winter I'm going with ice fishing tent.
Excellent idea about using the Welding Blanket behind the woodstove.
Most people don't put anything bcak there, but I had a buddy give it to me and I figured it was the perfect use for an added bit of protection. Thanks Douglas
I just switched from the Eskimo 949 to the Eskimo Outbreak 450 for the same reasons you moved up from the 6x6 tent... plus one big game changer. A door that opens all the way to the ground. Much easier to get in and out of with your arms full and big boots on. A little more money, today, than the 949 because it is a new model but well worth it if you make a lot of trips in and out and can't afford to be falling and tweeking an ankle or knee. Loved the ease of your conversion of the roof vent to a stove jack. Great video!
Really cool feature with the 450! I'll definitely take a look at that! Thanks Gwen👍
I agree with your decision in just making this your hot tent I feel like it works just as good or even better half the price more comfort n room
Fishing tent is the biggest bang for your buck. Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thanks for tuning in!!
Ps. The beeping you heard was a fellow snowmobiler in the distance putting their machine in reverse
Great idea! Certainly adds a new option when in the market for a winter tent. Love your dog! She's beautiful and very well behaved - and well deserving of that great breakfast.
Tks Lisa 👍
Nice and cozy tent.
Absolutely. It’s great for winter camping. Don’t think I’d change a thing👍
The video is awesome! Im getting my popup ready to be a hot tent this winter and your video was supper helpful!
The ice fishing hut hot tent is a great idea. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!!!👍👍
This the second time I watched this vid , liked it so much the first time. I now live in Alberta but am from Niagara Falls area . Been in Alberta for the last 38 years . I spend a lot of time outdoors and wish I had a friend like you out here . People here think I'm a bit nuts doing the kind of thing your doing in this vid. Nice to see I'm not the only one out there . Keep up the good work and take care . PS Love your dog . Wish my dog was as well behaved .
Great to hear from you....and if I were closer I'd be happy to share space with another 'unique' character like myself for sure!! lol It takes all kinds to make the world go around for sure. I have a real good friend there in Fort Mac and would absolutely love to visit him and his family one day👍
You're not nuts. What's nuts is being in the city, with the noise and drugs and violence and ....
@@surreygeorge11 Thanks for getting back to me. I hear you when it comes to the city life. I spend a fair bit of my time fishing in the Yukon and being in my 60s
Oops !!! Hit the wrong button somewhere. As I was saying, it's not as easy for me being in my 60s. But I still love to get out there and enjoy what the great outdoors has to offer. Give your pup a scratch for me and take care of each other.
Loved the Longer video. I thought the Eskimo Fishing Tent was a very nice , cozy shelter for you and Willow. Willow needs her own set of Doggie snowshows. Your breakfast sandwiches looked delicious. Willow is lucky to have a great Human like you to care for her. As someone else commented , you have a calm manner about you that I wish I had. Best wishes, Brian
Thanks Brian! I'm maybe much more calm when I'm on these trips haha! It certainly is a great experinece. As for Willow's boots....I've tried set after set after set with no luck! They all fall off in no time. I even had a set custom fit by an expert....and Willow literally lost three of them within just a few minutes!!! I think it must be the shape of her paws/lower legs. In the meantime she doesn't seem to mind whatsoever. Maybe her excitement just to be outside tenting supersedes all lol. Again, thanks for the nice comment 👍
Love that collie
I like your way of thinking
Thanks!!
Great job! Ive stayed in my ice fishing tent in the back yard during winter. Will do again!
I love Willow! I happened on your video and had to watch it. I am so glad I did. I'm always camping in the winter time because it is my favorite time to be out. I love hot tents and tent stoves. After watching you and your ice fishing tent conversion to a hot tent, I am going to get one for this purpose. I love the fact that it is insulated. You cannot get this in a regular tent unless you want to spend a thousand or more dollars. Thank you so much and hugs for Willow.
Great to hear you winter camp Parker! I certainly had lots of use with my first hot tent (non-insulated), so I'm thinking my experience with this one will be nothing but better (and warmer). I'm not sure if you saw my video with the first one or not but its here if you'd like to compare: th-cam.com/video/B13CRYvJSHc/w-d-xo.html
thanks for tuning in! 👍
What a perfect dog for this. Collies just love to be intensely involved. Lol
She is actually an Australian shepherd but incredibly similar to the collies. Intelligence level is really high
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors She is a sweetheart and I love how she sits on the sled with you.
It is so wonderful to see a loyal pooch, and owner. 😌
Another excellent video
Weld Weld thank you sir!! It was a lot of fun!! Can’t wait to use it again 👍
Keep living. What a cool trip.
Thank you! 👍
excellent fabrication on tht chimney setup 👍 thank you very sir 💨👋
You’re welcome George. Tks for tuning in 👍
when your haveing a bad day sit down with a cup of tea, and watch a chuck porter video and see willows happy face as she gets to go for a night out with her owner :)
Haha! She certainly loves the outings....as do I ! On that note, while I'm editing, I get so many chuckles as I see so many things that Willow is doing in the background that is hilarious!! Most of these expressions are only noted when I make the final cut and some absolutely are deserving of the speech balloons! lol Thanks again for tuning in 👍

Just might have to try this next winter. Looks very peaceful
I Love it Dion. Big ice fishing trip planned for next week over goose bay way. Using my tent as home base 👍
Enjoyed the entire setup. From vehicle and accessories to ice hut and your beautiful dog. Winter snow with trees and mountains are my favorite. I look forward to seeing your next adventure +a couple more days. Thank for taking me along.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it Brian. I appreciate your kind words👍
Can’t beat watching a Chuck Porter video while 25000 feet up. Sure makes flying a while lot quicker. As always great content
Wow buddy...hope you're flying somewhere warm!! Awesome! Thanks as always bud 👍
Thank you for posting your video I always like outdoor living nice to see you doing the same.
Really like your videos, very well done and great ideas and informative...Willows the best.
Thanks Ted. Appreciate you tuning in buddy
I like the Eskimo outbreak 450xd and 650xd for the silver lining helps with the lighting
If you Add Some vegetable oil to Willows pup food Every couple days and mix it up of course, it will help Thicken her Coat up even more throughout the Winter months. Or get her a Nice doggie coat
I mix in vegetable oil every day for that reason, plus she absolutely loves the taste of it on her food. I also have a couple different coats for her for when it gets really cold. If I put it on her in the temps in this video, she actually tends to overheat. Shes the perfect dog for this climate 👍
nice tent! great show! thanks.. nice dog too.
Thanks Dale....A huge Ice Fishing trip planned in a couple of weeks and I will use this tent solely as my means of stay 👍
Don’t see how anyone wouldn’t like this video. It took my mind off my problems for a bit. Nice dog.
Thanks James!! 👍
I have the same shelter! Great for all sorts of things and it excels in every season.
Love the way you put captions in with your fur baby’s expressions ❤️👍🏼👍🏼 such a relaxing video loved it ❤️❤️
Thanks 👍. I’m not a funny person at all, but sometimes when I see willows expressions they breed to have a caption lol.
Excellent video!! Thank you Sir!!
Great video, helps us to be encouraged to try camping again at an older stage in life
Very nice! I use Clam tents, but same size and style. The only things that I like more about Clam vs Eskimo is that Clam provides a much better storage bag and each outer hub has a 6 foot adjustable cordura strap. I love your Spoiled dog "Willow" ! Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Greg
Thanks Greg!! I have to look up the Clam tent. I never heard of that name in these parts before! Thanks again. Ps. Yes, willow is quite spoiled lol👍
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors They’re a company that makes out door shelters and ice fishing gear based out of Canada Jr. AKA Minnesota
Awesome tent!
Thanks Jerry👍
*Excellent video!*
I like what you have done with the tent.
Thanks Barry....thats my second tent I've converted now and I must say I'm amazed at how well this works....very practical and comfy to boot! 👍
One more like for Willow !
Haha! Thanks. I’ll pass it on to her lol 👍
As a chronicly homesick Newfoundland er l loved your video. Tanks Buddy 😊
Lol. You’re welcome John. Tks for tuning in buddy👍
well good morning to you Chuck lovely tent let's see what you have in your bag of goodies for us to learn
Nice video. Willow is a sweetheart. 👍🏻😀
Thank you! 👍
wonderful video...very relaxing to watch and enjoy. Thanks!
Thanks Kenneth 👍
So nice. Here in Australia we don’t get to see snow 😓
Maybe I can ease places with you in January when the average temperature is -25 Celsius lol. Great to hear from Australia!👍
You came up in my TH-cam feed, had not heard of you before. I enjoyed this video VERY much, so will subscribe, and explore what else you’ve done & look forward to your future adventures!! Thank you for sharing! 💐💐
Thanks for checking us out and for leaving such a nice compliment 👍

Great trip mate, keep them coming and don’t forget Willow.. regards from the UK.
Willow is always first on the list lol!! Thanks!
Very good keep them coming
Thanks Terry!
I was totally in agreement with your set up with one exception. When you made the bulkhead for your stove, the back should have been a bit higher than the front. Smoke always rises to the highest point thus it would help in your exhaust. I absolutely love the interaction between you and your dog. He is truly a great buddy and companion. I am now too old and decrepit to adventure out in the wilderness but I sure am fascinated by being able to live my life vicariously through such fine examples of outdoors people.
Thanks Lawrence. That's a great tip, by the way. I appreciate you tuning in and hope it leaves you with a smile or two at least. I really appreciate you tuning in with a comment as well 👍
One of the best videos on youtube. Thanks.
Thanks very much....appreciate your kind words!👍
Great video and Willow is just adorable!!
Thanks Micke. I appreciate you tuning in and dropping me a comment👍
Thanks again, another time wishing i was there. I like the box on the back of your sled. Keep them coming.
Thanks Bryan...wish I could track down the guy who made it! It was made by a guy in Quebec is all I know, but I bought it off of another guy used and he didn't recall the guys name. Thanks for tuning in again!👍
very cool
Thanks Clay 👍
That whole trip looks so amazing. The food 😋 and a very organized set up I love it
Thank you for watching!👍
Well done!!! A dog is really mans best friend... looks like a English Setter!!!
She is an Australian shepherd and she really is the most loyal and perfect companion. She loves to travel with me 👍
First time watching your video , your dog is so awesome you can see your dog look up to you and he/she so cute ,
She is the most loyal dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of having. She is my everyday companion and is even much more in tune with me now than then.
Tanks you Chuck, GOD bless you brother from Québec Canada
Thanks Francois. Really appreciate you tuning in👍
Good dog
very cool ,nice set-up....
Thanks Rejean!👍
Your ideas for accomodating the stove chimney is ingenious!! Well done!! (I'm an office worker---(i'm jealous of your adventure; and your outdoorsman knowledge). Have a GRRAT time!! 😃🙃👣
Haha. Thanks Alva!
Great video . What a beautiful doggie you have there . Have seen a few people make a fishing hut into a hot tent . Joe and Zach Survival is one of them . Watched the Wild North Netley last night . I like it when he cooks . Made some nice pancakes this time . Smart in bringing a cot . Who the heck wants to sleep on the ground . LOL .
Haha!! That’s the beauty of taking a snowmobile and sleigh combo. It affords you luxuries you wouldn’t normally take. I watched wild north of netley last night as well. I wanted pancakes right afterward lol. Thanks for tuning in bud👍
You said that there is room for one more??? Awesome. Count me in. I will be there Thursday. ;) Great video. Looks like a fun trip. And I love that tent. Well thought out. Thanks for sharing. I don't know much about Labrador (I am from Ontario), but it looks beautiful. Coincidentally, Justin Barbour just released his first episode of his 83 day paddle across Labrador, so I am learning lots about your neck of the woods
HAHA!! Come on down buddy and we will fill up the tent no problem!! Justin is the Main Man down in these parts....what he does is unprecedented in these parts....I just watched his first episode last night as well!! Glad to hear from Ontario👍
Very nice. Great idea to use a ice fishing tent.
Thanks William!👍
Enjoyed the video Mr Porter. Still a place for us low-tech guys and a high-tech world
Yes sir!!! BTW William, don't think I mentioned it to you previously, but I'm actually from Central Newfoundland in a small little town called "Porterville". 100's of years ago, the town was settled by "Porter men" (and their wives) who were primarily fisherman, farmers and woodsmen. The population only ever bordered around 60-70, and those numbers are less than that now given there aren't many youth at all left there now. Good to hear from you again Mr. Porter!👍
That's pretty interesting Chuck I already forwarded that info on to my son and my grandson I'm going to have to do a little looking into it.
I thought I was looking at Bruce Willis at one point 😊your dog is gorgeous has beautiful eyes what a little sweety love the video.🥰
Thanks Sibel. Ps. When I make what money Mr Willis has I think I’ll retire lol👍
Awesome! I live in s as n ice tent n prospect for gold in the winter. Absolutely love your video! Well done!
Great set-up, yes Chuck the canvas tents can be a lot of work to set-up, I like the convenience of the super quick set-up. Tent up, stove going, kettle boiled in the time it takes to cut the poles for the canvas tent... Sweet deal, half the price, win win.... Great video.
Thanks again sir. No internet here at the camp for a week but Looking forward to more rabbit videos! Was telling someone today about the game camera footage you had. Very cool👍
Not to imply she is cold but Willow seems ready for the fire and warming up in the new tent. 😊👍 Great video!
She likes the cold best but when she’s ready to nap she finds herself closer to a heat source lol. Her double coat protects her like a husky. Surprised me how she is panting even when it dips to -30 👍
Awesome video we just purchased the 60th anniversary model and a cot for winter hunting and trapping but ima make a floor with a tarp then canvas and have some caribou skins for extra warmth as I'm from the top of alaska
Sounds good👍
First time watching your channel. Great work! Enjoyed your overnight winter adventure. Drooling over the moosemeat!
Thanks Rod....you could join Willow and I in the drooling....absolutely love it! Thanks for tuning in bud 👍
Chuck Porter - Everything Outdoors If my Nova Scotia Duck Toller didn’t beat us all to the moosemeat
Super A-1 Chuck. Willow is one Jim dandy dog. Great video sir. You're just having too much fun. Thanks.
Thanks Leslie. Have used the tent a few time’s since and absolutely love every trip. I have a huge ice fishing trip coming up in a couple of weeks so really looking forward to that 👍
Well prepared.
Thanks Thomas👍
I’ve been looking at the Eskimo pop-up tent on Amazon. It was helpful to see how well it worked out for you. Definitely more inclined to purchase it now. Thanks ❄️☃️⛺️🌲🐾🐶😊
You will love it Debra. I’m really impressed 👍
I have the Eskimo Fatfish also but just took a piece of tin and cut it to match the window than added Velcro and it works great as the stove jack! Great video!
Sounds great scott!! Tin carries a bit of heat but if it’s large enough you’ll do just fine👍
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors I've gotten my stove super hot and it is no problem! Thanks for the great videos! Wish I could find someone like you to camp with!
AWESOME VIDEO
Thank you Olbera! 👍
That what was the most enjoyable video I've watched on TH-cam. Of course I like the rest of your videos too. 👍🏻🔥🌲🏔️😊🐕
Thanks Larry. It certainly is a great experience to do this type of outing. I love and look forward to every trip. I plan to do another as soon as I get back home! 👍
Love that tow setup. Very cool.
I am getting one of those tents for sure.
Works really well. I’ve used it so many times since and I’m completely satisfied with it👍
Nice video! Very relaxing.
Thanks for tuning in!👍
Awesome. Video, great tent I especially like the idea of the. Welding. Blanket.
Thanks Jose👍
I love your dog sir.
Another great video, thanks Chuck!
Thanks George...really appreciate you tuning in with a comment!!👍
Some real Newfie engineering using that welding blanket for a heat deflector
Great video. I hope you and your wife are in great health!
Working on it Patricia! Thanks for your nice comment 👍
Love the Eskimo 949i & definitely the chain saw way to go
It’s a great combo for fast setup, especially in the North when it’s bitter cold and only about 8 hours max of sunlight in the pit of winter. I always carry a tarp plus backsaw (and axe) as backups too just in case something goes wrong 👍
I like how you explain things n see how you really enjoygd it, n i love willow🤗
Lol. She is a great companion and very entertaining company👍
Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed watching. And your dog is beautiful.
Thanks Patrick. I appreciate you viewing and dropping me a comment! 👍
I have the fiskars axe and brush tool both works great
I have several of their products as well. I find them excellent. 👍
Nice video and tent
Thanks Andy👍
I love your set up, perfect for snowmobile, atv, or hiking and pulling sled. ....I would have to get a much bigger cot, for me and TWO German Shepherds. Two cots wouldn't work, I would still wake up with both dogs on top of me. I have the same issues with teepee style hot tents: only one place, usually about 1 foot by 1 foot area surrounding the center pole where you can almost stand upright.
Two German shepherds-wow!! I bet they would love it though! Fishing tents come in so many sizes which is a bit of an advantage for sure. Thanks for tuning in and leaving me a comment 👍
Jody and I are pretty keen on trying this ourselves. I will be in touch about ideas buddy. Love it!!
Just picked myself up a new stove....heading out to give it a try in a couple days 👍
first time I really enjoyed your over nighter with that adorable dog you have, Thanks a lot and will follow you along.
Thanks Josephine. We are headed into the bush again today so more videos to come and I hope you continue to enjoy 👍
Very nice 👍 did my own fishingtent with stovejack last weekend and it worked out great. Got warm after only 10-15minutes 👍
Excellent Danne!! Glad to hear! I know you’ll enjoy each and every trip 👍
Windows in the ice fishing tent is nice also. 🇨🇦
Just spent a day out fishing in it today with friends. Had all windows open and there was tons of light👍
That stove looks pretty darn nice!
Yes sir. Great little stove and it’s over twenty years old 👍
Subscribed!! Only a minute in and I like your style. Great footage on the tips and tricks. Very much looking forward to exploring your channel. Cheers from Alberta, Canada!
Thanks Timothy! And I hope the remaing minutes kept you interested as well lol. Thanks for tuning in!👍
