Winter time camping is the bees knees! Grab yourself a proper hot tent/wood stove setup and it will quickly become your favorite camping season! Give me a shout if you are ever in pa/wv. Thanks again for bringing us Ali g for the journey.
Trevor: Thanks for watching. Have you used the wood stove in a tent? What brand do you recommend for both the stove and tent or do they have packages? Thanks
I have a Ellis canvas tents Shackleton tent and a smaller tipi style nylon one from luxe outdoors as well. I use a large winnerwell stove inside both. There are definitely companies that offer package deals as well. I think springbar and Kodiak canvas both offer package deals as well as Seek Outside. I’m planning on getting a lightweight setup from seek outside for backpacking and bike packing for next year.
I fit a Gazelle T4 in my Jeep TJ. I put it in diagonal with one end between the passenger head rest and the window. And the other end on the driver side in the corner just above the tailgate. I can also strap it on top of the spare tire to a rack I have. The tent is a game changer for me.
Agreed! Plus you also have a base camp end not have to shut down a rooftop tent and maintain all that weight while out overlanding. Thanks for watching God Bless!
@@rubiconmatt Most of my camping I like having a base camp to come back too. Also I run Currie Antirock and really feel the body roll. In fact if I'm running a harder trail like the Rubicon I pull the top, my spare tire and tailgate cargo rack. The Jeep just performs so much better like that. Going up Cadillac hill in the rain you'll be glad you did 😝
Do you use it in a ground tent or a rooftop tent or ? I have seen some of the overlanders I follow using them. I have seen several where you get into high elevations they don't work or clog up. But other than that it would be a game changer for cold weather camping long trips. Thanks for sharing! God bless!
Hey sounds good, provide me a good recipe! Half chicken bone in, onion, green pepper, seasoning. Wrap up in foil and put in the red coals? How many wraps of foil should I use to protect it? Thanks for watching and I will try that!
Another great video Matt. I look forward to them. In addition to venting to combat the condensation build up, you might look into UCO Candle Lanterns, if you haven't already. Candle lanterns produce heat which helps to reduce condensation. I spent 6 years in Alaska bouncing between Anchorage and the North Slope, so my preference is absolutely on the cold side. Having said that, I do admit to having a winter liner for my tent. I kept my cold weather gear from Alaska, but it never gets anywhere near cold enough in Ohio to wear it. I just like having it to remind me of great times. Keep the videos and inspirations coming, they are much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing that information, I have been to Alaska only once for work but did drive around and saw a glacier and unbelievable scenery!!! That would be a dream to go back and overland and camp!!! I have a question for you. This last video I had condensation, I went again this past weekend and it was colder and I had no condensation at all!! I thought maybe since there was a breeze It kept the air flowing through my vents in the tent. It got down to 32. What do you think? I had the same amount of venting. Just wonder what you think. My last trip I just went on (no video yet), I found a great spot to camp, then when I went overlanding I found a really great spot. I am going to confirm if it is in Wayne National Forest and a dispersed site. I did find a stone fire ring. I will work to get the video out sometime after Christmas. God Bless!
@@rubiconmatt The wind creating better ventilation could definitely be part of the answer. Increasing airflow indoors as a way to move the hot/cold air out before the dewpoint (100% humidity) is reached is one method HVAC techs use to control/prevent condensation. On your recent trip did you heat the tent? I ask because you say the temp dropped to 32. Condensation forms between 32 to 212 degrees F. If was slightly below 32 that might explain the absence of condensation. If you have a friend that works in HVAC they would be able to give you better answers as I am no condensation pro. If you decide to return to Alaska let me know I can give you some must sees and dos.
Glad to see a video from you Matt. I sent you a private email. Baby Lima beans are awesome. I'm thinking electric heater at a state park. Good scripture ! Love the account of Gideon
Thanks for watching! an electric heater or a electric blanket! but I don't have those and most of the time I hope I fine a place that is more remote. I just needed to get out quickly and enjoy some crisp fresh air and enjoy nature. You keep going and camping as well! The Word of God is awesome!
Here is the link on amazon to buy and it is on sale right now! amzn.to/3HAbwyj It is working fine for me and is reasonably priced vs. the more expensive ones. This link provides me a commission but you pay the amazon price no extra charges if you buy it.
your body gives off about a pint of water each night plus a byproduct of combustion on your heater is water vapor. the icicles were on the inside of the rain fly so all the water came from inside of your tent.
thanks for watching, it was after Thanksgiving but before December. I have been there a couple times and am the only one around (during cold weather months.). Have a great week!

That's funny! But we don't get the high winds and rain like you! (hurricanes). I will take the cold for now! :-). Thanks for watching. Hope all is well with the recovery from the hurricanes.

Another good video Matt. Love camping year round and the T4. God Bless Brother
Thanks for watching! I am looking for some heavy snow!! Hopefully it will come and I can go! God Bless!
Wonderful video. I always enjoy your content.

Love your videos in my home state. Try a simple foil meal on the fire u won't be disappointed coming from a boy scout and a jeep owner. 👍👍

@@dennislee505 I was using my buddy heater both times and the temperature in the tent stays in the low 40’s. Thanks for your reply!
Thanks for another great video. Hoping to get out next year and film some adventures
Go while you can! That is what I am doing. Thanks for watching!

You have to let us know when you go if you want some company!
Are you in cleveland?
@@rubiconmatt we are based out of Cleveland yes. But we have members from like 11-12 states so when we go, we usually bring a handful.
I love this videos about camping
And it is a great plus having the word of God involved in it
Thanks for watching!! God bless! Have a strong day tomorrow !
Amén ! God bless you too
Thanks for showing how you packed the T4!
No problem, did you get one and figure out how to beat fit it in your rig?
@@rubiconmatt not yet, been debating between the t3 and t4 (t4 is preferred but was considering the t3 due to packed size of t4, so your video helps).
Looks like a great experience Matt. Hey which mini fridge do you use in your Jeep.Thanks for sharing again Matt

Roger: Thanks for letting me know. I guess I need to vent better to keep the air going through the tent.
Good video Matt. What part of November were you there? Can't believe no one else was there camping.
thanks for watching, it was after Thanksgiving but before December. I have been there a couple times and am the only one around (during cold weather months.). Have a great week!
Matt, good camping and appreciate your testimony. Would love to connect, if you care to share the best way to get in touch

In Florida we have no clue what you are talking about. lol
