There's something comforting and even calming to me about just this simple setup(raging storm with just enough protection and shelter) that I've always loved. Call me crazy 🤪
Raging storm?????? it's a few drops of rain and a slight breeze in this video... he has idk 200 'storm' videoes on yt but none of them has anything even related to a storm in it....
I used to love camping alone (before children) and just drink in the mountains... build a fire, cook, hike, read a book... especially in fall when the elk are bugling... LOVE this!! So relaxing to watch. I have 4 teenagers now, plus dogs and guinea pigs, living in the city with neighbors and chaos.... and sometimes I dream of even just going to jail for the night so I can have some peace for longer than 4 hours. I got to live vicariously through you for a while and relax watching this, thank you.
Indeed, very familiar situation with kids, endless chaos and time flying. No time for mountains and wild. At somepoint though you can introduce the wild, mountains and camping to your kids. Then there might be a change of getting out and back to the old days or close to it, rather than staying in the city.
When I’m stressed out after a difficult day, I find myself taking in your adventures. Clears my mind and comforts me. I’d love to have the wherewithal to do what you do. Mainly the time. We’re all too busy, aren’t we? Thanks for your channel and your content.
Loved the picture (video) of the tent in the clearing with the woods all around, early morning, and smoke coming out of the pipe. Beautiful! I may be a southerner (mostly Floridian) and love warmer weather, but I do love the beauty of nature all over in our country.
The metal rings on the stove door and adjustment points are so you can use a small stick through them to open the door, adjust the settings. The burns on your hands are to remind you to use the stick!
Just food for thought but I was taught years ago to always park in a way that puts me at an advantage if I needed to leave in a hurry. Strategic parking may seem like a small thing to most but I’ve actually been in situations where had I not parked that way, I’d have had issues. Even in icy situations it makes it nice to be pointed in the right direction in the event you need to leave quick. Just something to think about. Love your content! Keep it up!
Interesting story about strategic parking. Clyde Barrow, of Bonnie and Clyde infamy, had a habit of parking his vehicle in such a manner so as to facilitate an easier getaway should authorities catch wind of the location of Bonnie and him. But on 19 July of 1933 a person noticed a vehicle strangely parked, it had been backed in at the motor court room Bonnie and Clyde had rented. The vast majority of people simply pull forward into the space, not back in. Cops were alerted, a shootout ensued, and Clyde's brother Buck was shot in the head during their escape. Buck died in a hospital a few days later....
@@juicyj3819 Depends on what you're thinking. In this case, I'd rather have the vehicle close, so I don't have to run 25 yards in a violent thunderstorm.
A threaded rod and a couple nuts and washers through the holes in the center of the legs would prevent that colapse issue with the stove without adding much weight.
This idea, combined with the tent stakes above as well, is an awesome solution! I'd say add the tent stakes bc I'd be worried about it toppling over somehow
Regarding the stove: Two hooked tent stakes will hold the legs in place. Stoves are hot, so take out your trusty multitool pliers and grab the metal rings or metal points on the stove to adjust, not your fingers. Regarding the tent/teepee: If it had an interior wall/sheet (lining) that would drop from about 1/3 to 2 meters the height up the side wall to the ground, this would make it much better for heat retention (Like the Native Americans would use on their teepees).
I bought small metal carabiner clips and attached them to my stove cap with lines to make the stove more stable in my tent during windy evenings. Love the video!
Great idea. I don't camp but have seen these stoves on several channels and wondered why people don't jerry rig some kind of guy lines off the chimney pipe. Now I know someone that does! Lol
Another awesome adventure! Recently, I completed my first solo 3-day trip. I binged A LOT of your videos beforehand to help get myself squared away. Thanks for having a willingness to share your awesome with the world!
You're enjoyable to watch, thank you for showing and teaching so much at the same time. Pretty nice to see being able to do so much with just the minimal but right gear.
35 years in SE Florida, now in the high mountain west, and I will NEVER go back to the land of steaming heat and swarms of biting insects. Happy New Year to you and yours...
In re: stove legs potential collapse; a simple solution, since no tent floor; therefore, just a tent stake placed at each foot preventing leg collapse or folding. 🤔
Or a stick in middle of bottom between the front and back legs theres a round hole on both. A stick.or pipe fits in the holes. But your way is definitely quicker
My late grandpa had one of those huge tents given out during the depression era. He and my grandma lived in it during the depression. He used railroad spikes to tie it to the ground and kept it waterproofed. When I was a kid we'd go camping on the New River at Thurmond and stay a week at a time. Nice spring of water coming off the mountain into a rock pool. Burnt wood and coal to heat and prepare food as West Virginia gets cold in those hills.
In a pinch, I'd have looked for some rocks of the appropriate size to put underneath the stove in case it became unstable. They have acted as heat sinks also. Love your shows thank you.
Fair play to you. On hearing that first rumble of thunder I would be heading for my truck. I am so scared of storms….but fascinated at the same time. Enjoyed your vid immensely.
Another great adventure! I really enjoy it when you share stories from your youth, or stories about your family. Most of the other You Tubers I watch don't really share a whole lot about their lives outside of what they happen to be doing in that particular video. It makes you seem very relatable and genuine, which of course puts your channel on another level. Good stuff! Thanks for all the work you and your wife put into making such awesome videos. Those of us who can't get out in the mountains as much as we'd like, well...we live through your adventures! Thanks for taking us along with you!
Indian here. I don't do well in the heat of India either. That's why I moved halfway across the planet all the way to Canada. Love your videos dude! Keep them coming!
Great stories Luke. Those were the days when we could roam and live life much more freely! All the best to you and your family in the New Year! Be safe and healthy!
For the stove, a pair of pliers and some kind of bracket to hold it. I really enjoyed this video. Warm and cozy in the tent when it's horribly storming out or blizzardfing is beautiful. I like your set up, your attitude, your banter, and your camera skills. BTW, I too am a connoisseur of good coffee. I used to buy Tim Horton's religiously until one time I was out so I went to the store they were out of Timmy's so I bought a can of Nabob. I've never changed back.🇨🇦
And the fact that his tent seemed to be placed down an incline lower than he'd parked the car, (@22:59) with down pours water follows gravity. Also, not fond of being in a tent during an electrical event.
LOL, No Click Bait ? " Attacked by Violent Storms in a Hot Tent " Like the storms violently attacked him ! More like he set up in the path of in coming storms ! Or did Storms in a Hot tent Violently attack him ? The last two thirds of the title, would have been the correct none Click Bait !
Great experience. I have a HELSPORT Lavvu tent, 6 to 8 person for me alone and I love it. No problems in storm if you use good tent stacks, these tent types have been used by mankind for thousands of years, the most storm resistant construction there is. Only downside might be, there is no window, so you are stuck inside in a storm without seeing nothing. But then again the style of tents that have windows are far less storm resistent as the lavvu style. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Cheers. 👍
Awesome video!! Don't be afraid to upload long videos, I have no problem watching Tony & Bruce for 2+ hours and I would gladly watch your long videos as well 👌👍✌
Hi Luke, in response to your question about anyone owning a Kifaru tipi I do have a Kifaru 6-man tipi which is about the same size as your tipi. I've had it since 2008 and have used it mostly in the winter in temps that have been down to -45 C in Northern Ontario. I've also used it for summer outings as it has bug mesh doors that can be attached to it.I've got the Kifaru large box style stove to heat it and have the liner in the tipi which helps to keep it warm and dryer inside. The quality of the Kifaru tipi is exceptional, high quality materials and workmanship is top notch. The design allows for a pitch that is very sturdy in obscene winds and snow/rain. The only downside is price but you get what you pay for. Take care and thanks for the great videos! Here is a video of some winter camping I did using the 6-man Kifaru tipi: th-cam.com/video/dOPqjJlXzAU/w-d-xo.html
I’ve seen stoves for Hot-Tent camping that have provision for guying the chimney outside the tent to protect against high winds. One setup actually guyed the chimney to the tent itself to enable the tent and the chimney to move together.
I've been watching for several years and really enjoy your content! That said, the video sequence starting at 0:53 is some of the best you've ever shot...absolutely stunning! Keep up the great content.
Wow, Lone Wolf Mountain is gorgeous from the sky. When my son-in-law goes hot tenting, he carries his heavy duty cold weather sleeping bag, that way he gets to sleep; just uses the stove to stay warm during the day. Happy New Year to you and Yours; may it bring all of us Health and Happiness.
I started hot tenting last year. I was amazed by how much of a difference adding a fan made. I know that heat rises, but I didn't think that I would be able to tell the difference from raising my hand in such a small tent. I highly suggest getting a fan. Get a stove fan or a battery operated fan that you can hang from the top of the tent.
I watched this review leading up to my own hot tent purchase, the two real cons you mentioned in this review may have been considered. Their new description mentions an improved “Tee Pee” tent sewing and sealing with new tent stakes that are a stronger material. Just had to mention that as they specifically mention this two specific topics as improved. Great work as always, keep it up, I cannot wait for mine to deliver.
Always enjoy this style of video with the detailed set up and some actual weather to contend with. Would like to see another winter vid from that shed you have on lone wolf mountain.
Hey Luke, when you buy some longer, better quaility tent pegs, use 2 to bang into the ground thru the legs on the stove. (at a 45 angle ect.) Cheers, keep up the awesome ,informative vids.
This is insane you stayed in that storm it ripped through my town like it was nothing I was 20 yards away from the tornados destroying my home love the videos man thanks for cool content
GREAT VIDEO!! To be honest, I was VERY concerned about you staying out there! I'm glad you were safe! Thank you for your time and energy you put into your videos! Your videos are Exceptional!🥰
Why VERY concerned? I've watched videos where what he was doing was much more dangerous. If there is anything you learn about Luke is that he is very safe in what and how he does things. He has great situational awareness of what he is doing and where he is.
Thanks for the great tip to treat the ground tarp with permethrin. The bugs here in Georgia are driving me crazy and the weather going back and forth from very warm to cold has them continually coming out then looking for warm places. Great work.
Always brilliantly produced.... thanks Luke and Susie for another great year of the TOGR .... watch them all without fail .. here's to 2022 !!!! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Great video! NC mountains have a lovely climate and your camping videos show that well. I love having 4 real seasons, with real winters. Having lived in MA, NY, NJ, CA, and TX, I just moved to a house on a remote Maine lake and I'm looking forward to experiencing the unadulterated ME winter! Lots of snow, to be sure. Oh, thanks for the tip on chain saw. I have a lot of deadfall to clear around this house and the DeWalt looks like it would be a huge help.
Next time bring some inexpensive (or expensive) vanilla to pour over your burns. It will help prevent blisters and reduce the pain. You will still peel later on (weeks perhaps) but no blisters. But it has to be done right away. Please keep in mind that this is not meant for burns where your skin actually comes off but to prevent blisters and pain, works like a charm!
Tents aren't about insulation or thermal mass, you get your heat in a hot tent from radiant stove heat, once the fires out the temp will drop fast draft or not.
Great fun video Luke. I spent a year in a tent with a woodstove in Washington state in various locations outside of Seatle. I never got cold. It is a good memory. Your drone footage was also great in the aerial shots. Gave a unique perspective of your adventure. I'm always looking forward to your thoughtful gear reviews. Thanks for sharing your views.
I don't like camping but I love listening to the rain. You made camping look like it's fun and I'd say you definitely have all the right tools for it! I like that wood burning heater you have and I was looking at Amazon for it and I found a similar or maybe it's the same one; it was pricey! Nevertheless, I'm looking for a heating source that doesn't use electricity and that would be perfect for my needs! I also ordered that same stove and the cannister it attaches to. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure!
Tent pegs: People involved with lawn & sod installation have really heavy duty J hooks or lighter ones too. They use these to hold down a lawn blanket or in my case - on a slope for wire to hold soil and sod. For your stove; a pain, but a pair of needle nose pliers will solve the problem.
For me there's two things about a hot tent that I love, chopping wood and making a fire. And it's really pleasurable being toasty warm inside a tent at night when outside it's freezing cold!
20 minutes in and I'm lovin this video! The drone footage and now the RAIN begins! I am sooooo looking forward to the snowy videos this winter. My fingers are crossed for snow too Luke.
I have to thank your for your review, the two cons you state here are actually specifically mentioned as improved in this years offering. I think it states stronger lighter improved tent stakes and improved TeePee sewing and sealing techniques. Keep up the great work, I cannot wait for mine to ship.
I put mine up and had 20 to 40mph gust with steady 20's it rained pretty hard for a good long while. No leaks and the tent stayed put. I tested my wood stove and Mr Buddy both heated the tent quite well.
I live in the area the tornado went through and the surprising thing is when it came to the area I live at it split and went around we got really strong winds and had part of a tree blown down from my neighbors yard and we got a lot of rain so we have been pretty blessed by missing out on the last couple of storms.
Hey Luke, great video! I was actually out in my Pomoly Hex Plus tent during the same storm here in Eastern PA. You should try one of Polmoly's stoves if you don't like the One Tigress. I have the T Brick ultra which holds a ton of wood. Some things that may have helped you, instead of staking the tent with the cords, use the tent loop directly so that you don't have any gaps around the bottom, and also weigh down the snow flaps with logs or rocks for extra protection and insulation. Last thing I do is I hang a small rechargeable fan pointing down to circulate the hot air back down to the floor. You will feel a big difference doing that. I love my hot tent and stove, and thanks for the video!
First video I have watched of yours and I love your attitude to life. You are a good person full of basic wholesome knowledge. Oh and by the way your meal was amazing 🤩. Praying you have many more lovely adventures. Keep safe.
Hey Luke, Must Have Coffee !!!!! I switched to cordless battery powered power tools just two years ago and am quite happy I did. I am also very happy that I just subscribed to your channel. I've been through the horrible tent pegs as well and soon afterwards bought good sturdy pegs. Thanks for the excellent info and tips and a wonderful enjoying show. I am still using a multi fuel, but mostly propane Coleman stove for cooking. I have never camped in cold weather so never needed a wood stove but do have a propane heater for damp mornings.
Back in the 80s I was in a cold-weather battalion in the Marine Corps. We’d deployed to Norway and that’s what we spent our entire time preparing for when we were not in Norway, training to operate in Norway. Anyways, that stove we called it the “Yukon” stove. We also were able to hook up a fuel line to the stove which we seldom used. If we were in a 10 man tent and at a base camp we would hook up a liquid fuel line. But most of the time we used wood. I certainly enjoyed that video. It brought back memories seeing the Yukon stove.
I'm with you Luke, I prefer the cold anytime! I have recently got back into camping and the outdoors due to being located in WA with the Navy. I love your videos. Keep it up...this is my favorite channel by far! Cheers my friend, cheers indeed.
What a great adventure. The filming of your videos just keeps getting better. As someone who just got into drones and video it was amazing. Also thanks to your channel over the last year it's rekindled my camping bug from my younger years. Thanks again Luke for all the hard work.
I grew up in Colorado, and now I am in Missouri. I prefer the cold. I love snow. I love cross country skiing. The mountains just make me happy. Camping is so quick and easy to get to.
I would never park my vehicle that far from my tent. But each to his own. And my vehicle would be facing the exit way.You are brave especially being alone in the woods. Be safe out there.
I love having a wagon....you can place everything you need in it to get to camp site and also use it for firewood instead of making 4-5 trips. They make some decent large utility wagons that are metal. May be a good addition. 29:51 👍
I really liked the table. Very compact and lightweight compared to a card table or one of those finger pincher camp tables. The holes in the stove legs, makes me wonder if a rod that extends between the two was missing or could be added which would lock the legs apart. Thanks for the video.
Love this channel I'm here for the asmr. I think all its missing is a really top notch multichannel microphone to pick up all of those delicious nature sounds all around you.
I love the line “cheers my friends, cheers”. Great stuff man! New fav channel. Also def keep up the Bigfoot/Sasquatch episodes. It’s super fun and a little spooky - perfect addition to the channel.
I grew up on the edge of the Mojave Desert; have lived mostly on Washington's Olympic Peninsula for more than a half-century since those days. Though extremes of either can prove challenging--I've experienced -45F in Fairbanks, AK and worked outside in -35 F in Minneapolis, MN, I'll take the cold over heat most anytime.
Seems like a great camping spot, on the highest point of the hill. Excellent for extreme conditions. It's so enjoyable to drive the truck to the place where you wish to camp. Perfect for a luxurious camp-out!
Happy New Year to you!...having storms while camping are the best videos and keeps you on the edge of your seat! Hope to see more interesting videos in the new year!
Happy new year Luke been watching you for while now and this year I thought to myself life’s to short to short to be stuck indoors and we live by the new forest in the u.k so I brought a family tent and a 2 man tent and spent most of this year camping with family and friends or on my own and I have loved it thanks for the inspiration
I'm new to the channel. This is my kind of camping! Living in the UK, I'm used to the rain and cold. Your video is like therapy. I'm so chilled out. 😊 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Been watching you and others camp in these ,less than ideal, situations for years and years now. I was a fair weather camper for sure. I'm now a dad camping with family, and for the last 4 years it has rained on us every time we get out. If prepared its really no big thing. Anyway Luke, I no longer think your weird for liking storm camping.
Also, to stabilize legs - a piece of metal stock (aluminum) between the lower crossbeams of legs would force them to stay apart on any ground in the event you can’t stake them.
Happy New Year Luke! I very much enjoyed this. I appreciate the work that goes into your videos. Also, your reviews are unbiased and spot on. Take care brother!
: ) *Thank you* for the video. The next time you know things could get bad considered parking your vehicle up close to your tent to block the wind and shield against potential debris and falling trees. Next time you use that one tigress stove you could put a piece of wood or two cut to the right length between the legs to keep them from folding if the stove were to be bumped or knocked at any point, or some rocks would also do the trick. *Thank you again for the video, I haven't seen you in quite a while you've put on a lot of muscle, Well done keep it up Brother you might need it.* Good seeing you again. *Don't take what they're doling out...*
That dramatic Celtic music in the middle of this video scared the SH*T out of me. I thought he was about to be eaten by wolverines. I was about to start a TH-camrs Prayer Chain. But, then the music stopped and I was no longer scared.
Great video Luke. I really like hot tent ⛺️ videos. The weather was crazy but the tent held up very well. Hope to see that hot tent in many more upcoming videos. Happy New Year to you and your Family!
Would not recommend tapping a chisel into wood while it’s resting on your thigh. Great vid love your outlook on weather. Here in the Canadian Rockies the wind chill yesterday was -40f or -40c. Equal at that temp.
This. Exactly what I came to say. Made a shiver run through me, having seen too many careless accidents with tools; in the shop, in the fields, and in the wilds.
You need to set your tent up properly with the snow skirts flat on the ground which will help with wind blowing inside the tent. You will be far more comfortable and it possibly will not allow as much rain inside. Too bad you don't have a floor for your tent to prevent as much moisture.

There's something comforting and even calming to me about just this simple setup(raging storm with just enough protection and shelter) that I've always loved. Call me crazy 🤪
You are crazy. And so am I.
You're not. It's cozy!
There's something comforting and even calming to me about watching someone else do the setup before the Storm arrives.
Call me Lazy.
Strange..I find peace also in storms and weather. Guess I am cray too :) Much Love

Bring the kids camping, its good for everyone's soul.
I enjoyed my stay at the hospital for two days for the same reason, got some peace and quiet from the kids, lol. Even with the surgery.
Why don’t you drag one of your kids out with you and rough it?
When I’m stressed out after a difficult day, I find myself taking in your adventures. Clears my mind and comforts me. I’d love to have the wherewithal to do what you do. Mainly the time. We’re all too busy, aren’t we? Thanks for your channel and your content.

You live a miserable life
Totally agree
That’s nice. Great to have a place to destress🍄.

The metal rings on the stove door and adjustment points are so you can use a small stick through them to open the door, adjust the settings. The burns on your hands are to remind you to use the stick!
And heat resistant gloves hahaha.
Surely after the first burn you would use a glove? A cloth? A sock? The sleeve of your jumper? Anything other than bare skin? 😂
Just food for thought but I was taught years ago to always park in a way that puts me at an advantage if I needed to leave in a hurry.

@@juicyj3819 Depends on what you're thinking. In this case, I'd rather have the vehicle close, so I don't have to run 25 yards in a violent thunderstorm.
I thought the same thing. Why is the truck parked so far. But I figured being a seasoned camper he had his reasons. Thought it was just me. 😃
@@themechaniacal1558 What an awesome story. I was riveted.
A threaded rod and a couple nuts and washers through the holes in the center of the legs would prevent that colapse issue with the stove without adding much weight.
Using a piece of firewood cut to length would work, that's no weight
Or 2 tent pegs staking it from the outside through these leg holes. It's not gonna move easily.
I was thinking the same with using a cut to length piece of wood from processing fire wood.
@@GreenBayOutdoors There's hardly anything that I purchase that I don't have to tweak, improve, fix. We're guys, we can fix it.
This idea, combined with the tent stakes above as well, is an awesome solution! I'd say add the tent stakes bc I'd be worried about it toppling over somehow
No matter how many of these things I watch, I'm always amazed at the amount of bags there are.
There’s nothing better or comforting, than falling too sleep in a tent when it’s raining. 👍💖🇬🇧❤️
Or a tin roof,....Mother had one of those.
Regarding the stove: Two hooked tent stakes will hold the legs in place. Stoves are hot, so take out your trusty multitool pliers and grab the metal rings or metal points on the stove to adjust, not your fingers.

Can’t wait to see an adventure with lots of snow involved, those are always the very best ones 😁
Luke's cold & snow adventures are the best!
I agree, the snow storm ones are the best, I think a lot of the reason for that, is he absolutely is in his element and he LOVES it!
Same! I tend to lose a bit of interest unless Mother nature is challenging them. Snow is the best!
I agree. I absolutely love snow but have never camped in snow. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Love winter camping
In re: stove legs potential collapse; a simple solution, since no tent floor; therefore, just a tent stake placed at each foot preventing leg collapse or folding. 🤔
Or a stick in middle of bottom between the front and back legs theres a round hole on both. A stick.or pipe fits in the holes. But your way is definitely quicker
just a small log between legs.
or just do not use stove
Thought the same thing right away, or a rod between them.
METAL tent stakes. Most of them these days are plastic. And yes there are people dumb enough to make that mistake.
Love this. It's a cosy snug feeling being in a robust tent in bad weather especially gales and storms.
My late grandpa had one of those huge tents given out during the depression era. He and my grandma lived in it during the depression. He used railroad spikes to tie it to the ground and kept it waterproofed. When I was a kid we'd go camping on the New River at Thurmond and stay a week at a time. Nice spring of water coming off the mountain into a rock pool. Burnt wood and coal to heat and prepare food as West Virginia gets cold in those hills.
In a pinch, I'd have looked for some rocks of the appropriate size to put underneath the stove in case it became unstable. They have acted as heat sinks also. Love your shows thank you.
OR, would have found a way to secure the legs myself. However, keeping rocks under it seems like a good idea even with secured legs.
be careful with rocks and high temperatures - they might explode because of moisture
@@audhen1
Very true.
I see a lot of comments on how to fix the stove legs, the point luke is making is you should not have to fix or adapt something that you have bought.
LOVE the drone shots in the beginning! You are one lucky man to have those scenes near you 😍😍
Fair play to you. On hearing that first rumble of thunder I would be heading for my truck. I am so scared of storms….but fascinated at the same time. Enjoyed your vid immensely.

Awesome video as always, thoughts and prayers to those families affected by the storms. 🙏🏻❤️
For the stove, a pair of pliers and some kind of bracket to hold it. I really enjoyed this video. Warm and cozy in the tent when it's horribly storming out or blizzardfing is beautiful. I like your set up, your attitude, your banter, and your camera skills. BTW, I too am a connoisseur of good coffee. I used to buy Tim Horton's religiously until one time I was out so I went to the store they were out of Timmy's so I bought a can of Nabob. I've never changed back.🇨🇦
I often wonder what the unedited footage of Luke running around moving his cameras looks like. 😆
And the fact that his tent seemed to be placed down an incline lower than he'd parked the car, (@22:59) with down pours water follows gravity. Also, not fond of being in a tent during an electrical event.

Just found your channel! No click bait, no ego, just a good bloke doing what we all want to be doing. Subbed. Phil, UK
Same here.
LOL, No Click Bait ? " Attacked by Violent Storms in a Hot Tent " Like the storms violently attacked him ! More like he set up in the path of in coming storms ! Or did Storms in a Hot tent Violently attack him ? The last two thirds of the title, would have been the correct none Click Bait !
Great experience. I have a HELSPORT Lavvu tent, 6 to 8 person for me alone and I love it. No problems in storm if you use good tent stacks, these tent types have been used by mankind for thousands of years, the most storm resistant construction there is. Only downside might be, there is no window, so you are stuck inside in a storm without seeing nothing. But then again the style of tents that have windows are far less storm resistent as the lavvu style. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Cheers. 👍
Awesome video!! Don't be afraid to upload long videos, I have no problem watching Tony & Bruce for 2+ hours and I would gladly watch your long videos as well 👌👍✌
Couldn't agree more! One hrs at least I love "cigar time"
Hi Luke, in response to your question about anyone owning a Kifaru tipi I do have a Kifaru 6-man tipi which is about the same size as your tipi. I've had it since 2008 and have used it mostly in the winter in temps that have been down to -45 C in Northern Ontario. I've also used it for summer outings as it has bug mesh doors that can be attached to it.I've got the Kifaru large box style stove to heat it and have the liner in the tipi which helps to keep it warm and dryer inside. The quality of the Kifaru tipi is exceptional, high quality materials and workmanship is top notch. The design allows for a pitch that is very sturdy in obscene winds and snow/rain. The only downside is price but you get what you pay for. Take care and thanks for the great videos! Here is a video of some winter camping I did using the 6-man Kifaru tipi: th-cam.com/video/dOPqjJlXzAU/w-d-xo.html
I’ve seen stoves for Hot-Tent camping that have provision for guying the chimney outside the tent to protect against high winds. One setup actually guyed the chimney to the tent itself to enable the tent and the chimney to move together.
I've been watching for several years and really enjoy your content! That said, the video sequence starting at 0:53 is some of the best you've ever shot...absolutely stunning! Keep up the great content.
I agree totally, beautiful
Wow, Lone Wolf Mountain is gorgeous from the sky. When my son-in-law goes hot tenting, he carries his heavy duty cold weather sleeping bag, that way he gets to sleep; just uses the stove to stay warm during the day. Happy New Year to you and Yours; may it bring all of us Health and Happiness.
I started hot tenting last year. I was amazed by how much of a difference adding a fan made. I know that heat rises, but I didn't think that I would be able to tell the difference from raising my hand in such a small tent. I highly suggest getting a fan. Get a stove fan or a battery operated fan that you can hang from the top of the tent.
I love this channel. You live the life I dreamed of but never did. Enjoy your stories and camping like you do! 🙂
I watched this review leading up to my own hot tent purchase, the two real cons you mentioned in this review may have been considered. Their new description mentions an improved “Tee Pee” tent sewing and sealing with new tent stakes that are a stronger material. Just had to mention that as they specifically mention this two specific topics as improved. Great work as always, keep it up, I cannot wait for mine to deliver.
Always enjoy this style of video with the detailed set up and some actual weather to contend with. Would like to see another winter vid from that shed you have on lone wolf mountain.
Enjoyed this video, especially listening to the rain on the tent during the storm while you went about your tasks of cooking and carving etc.
Hey Luke, when you buy some longer, better quaility tent pegs, use 2 to bang into the ground thru the legs on the stove. (at a 45 angle ect.) Cheers, keep up the awesome ,informative vids.
This is insane you stayed in that storm it ripped through my town like it was nothing I was 20 yards away from the tornados destroying my home love the videos man thanks for cool content
that intro was extremely well shot like the start of a movie
GREAT VIDEO!! To be honest, I was VERY concerned about you staying out there! I'm glad you were safe! Thank you for your time and energy you put into your videos! Your videos are Exceptional!🥰
Why VERY concerned? I've watched videos where what he was doing was much more dangerous. If there is anything you learn about Luke is that he is very safe in what and how he does things. He has great situational awareness of what he is doing and where he is.
@@sassylady2001 I was concerned about the tent holding up in the wind. The tent stakes were pretty much crap!🥰
Thanks for the great tip to treat the ground tarp with permethrin. The bugs here in Georgia are driving me crazy and the weather going back and forth from very warm to cold has them continually coming out then looking for warm places. Great work.
Always brilliantly produced.... thanks Luke and Susie for another great year of the TOGR .... watch them all without fail .. here's to 2022 !!!! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Great video! NC mountains have a lovely climate and your camping videos show that well. I love having 4 real seasons, with real winters. Having lived in MA, NY, NJ, CA, and TX, I just moved to a house on a remote Maine lake and I'm looking forward to experiencing the unadulterated ME winter! Lots of snow, to be sure. Oh, thanks for the tip on chain saw. I have a lot of deadfall to clear around this house and the DeWalt looks like it would be a huge help.
Next time bring some inexpensive (or expensive) vanilla to pour over your burns. It will help prevent blisters and reduce the pain. You will still peel later on (weeks perhaps) but no blisters. But it has to be done right away. Please keep in mind that this is not meant for burns where your skin actually comes off but to prevent blisters and pain, works like a charm!
I love the cold, it doesn’t snow where I live in Australia but I love to see the snow adventures. Great production you do a top job, well done !!
The way the tent bottom flopped in the wind I can't imagine heat staying in that tent for very long.
The stove provides radiant heat as well as convective heat.
No worries about carbon monoxide poisoning that night!
@@visnuexe With the excellent view of the blue smoke in the tent a little ventilation doesn't hurt.
Tents aren't about insulation or thermal mass, you get your heat in a hot tent from radiant stove heat, once the fires out the temp will drop fast draft or not.
I was thinking the same
Great fun video Luke. I spent a year in a tent with a woodstove in Washington state in various locations outside of Seatle. I never got cold. It is a good memory. Your drone footage was also great in the aerial shots. Gave a unique perspective of your adventure. I'm always looking forward to your thoughtful gear reviews. Thanks for sharing your views.
I don't like camping but I love listening to the rain. You made camping look like it's fun and I'd say you definitely have all the right tools for it! I like that wood burning heater you have and I was looking at Amazon for it and I found a similar or maybe it's the same one; it was pricey! Nevertheless, I'm looking for a heating source that doesn't use electricity and that would be perfect for my needs! I also ordered that same stove and the cannister it attaches to. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure!
Tent pegs: People involved with lawn & sod installation have really heavy duty J hooks or lighter ones too. They use these to hold down a lawn blanket or in my case - on a slope for wire to hold soil and sod. For your stove; a pain, but a pair of needle nose pliers will solve the problem.
Those drone shots were amazing. Great adventure Luke.
For me there's two things about a hot tent that I love, chopping wood and making a fire. And it's really pleasurable being toasty warm inside a tent at night when outside it's freezing cold!
20 minutes in and I'm lovin this video! The drone footage and now the RAIN begins! I am sooooo looking forward to the snowy videos this winter. My fingers are crossed for snow too Luke.
Have been in many, many tents over the years, and other than the tropics, I’ve never been in a warm tent ⛺️
I have to thank your for your review, the two cons you state here are actually specifically mentioned as improved in this years offering. I think it states stronger lighter improved tent stakes and improved TeePee sewing and sealing techniques. Keep up the great work, I cannot wait for mine to ship.
Tent stakes are still light duty for sure, they do work but I have some heavier replacments.
I put mine up and had 20 to 40mph gust with steady 20's it rained pretty hard for a good long while. No leaks and the tent stayed put. I tested my wood stove and Mr Buddy both heated the tent quite well.
I live in the area the tornado went through and the surprising thing is when it came to the area I live at it split and went around we got really strong winds and had part of a tree blown down from my neighbors yard and we got a lot of rain so we have been pretty blessed by missing out on the last couple of storms.
Luke, you have me so well trained, that when I saw the stove, I yelled "coffee time!" Happy New Year to the entire family!
Production and editing on these videos seems to get better and better every time.
Hey Luke, great video! I was actually out in my Pomoly Hex Plus tent during the same storm here in Eastern PA. You should try one of Polmoly's stoves if you don't like the One Tigress. I have the T Brick ultra which holds a ton of wood. Some things that may have helped you, instead of staking the tent with the cords, use the tent loop directly so that you don't have any gaps around the bottom, and also weigh down the snow flaps with logs or rocks for extra protection and insulation. Last thing I do is I hang a small rechargeable fan pointing down to circulate the hot air back down to the floor. You will feel a big difference doing that. I love my hot tent and stove, and thanks for the video!
I bet you had fun in that tent. Hi from NE PA.
Luke use a twig or multi tool when playing with that stove.
I live in New Ringgold pa and we had a massive wind rain storm on the blue mountain last week
the idea of using a small fan to get back hot air is kind of genius, I'll give it a try!
First video I have watched of yours and I love your attitude to life. You are a good person full of basic wholesome knowledge. Oh and by the way your meal was amazing 🤩. Praying you have many more lovely adventures. Keep safe.
Hey Luke, Must Have Coffee !!!!! I switched to cordless battery powered power tools just two years ago and am quite happy I did. I am also very happy that I just subscribed to your channel. I've been through the horrible tent pegs as well and soon afterwards bought good sturdy pegs. Thanks for the excellent info and tips and a wonderful enjoying show. I am still using a multi fuel, but mostly propane Coleman stove for cooking. I have never camped in cold weather so never needed a wood stove but do have a propane heater for damp mornings.
Great video Luke love camping in a storm. Greetings from Ontario Canada. All the best for the new year. That food looks so good
Luke. Wishing you n your family a Happy 2022 New Year.. Take care n stay safe.. 😃
Absolutely beautiful job! The shots were great. You always knock your vids out of the park. Great job as always. Have a happy new year!
Back in the 80s I was in a cold-weather battalion in the Marine Corps. We’d deployed to Norway and that’s what we spent our entire time preparing for when we were not in Norway, training to operate in Norway. Anyways, that stove we called it the “Yukon” stove. We also were able to hook up a fuel line to the stove which we seldom used. If we were in a 10 man tent and at a base camp we would hook up a liquid fuel line. But most of the time we used wood. I certainly enjoyed that video. It brought back memories seeing the Yukon stove.
Love your anecdotes Luke.....I prefer the cold myself, especially for camping....
I'm with you Luke, I prefer the cold anytime! I have recently got back into camping and the outdoors due to being located in WA with the Navy. I love your videos. Keep it up...this is my favorite channel by far! Cheers my friend, cheers indeed.
That intro was perfection… your videos never disappoint …🙂
What a great adventure. The filming of your videos just keeps getting better. As someone who just got into drones and video it was amazing. Also thanks to your channel over the last year it's rekindled my camping bug from my younger years. Thanks again Luke for all the hard work.
I grew up in Colorado, and now I am in Missouri. I prefer the cold. I love snow. I love cross country skiing. The mountains just make me happy. Camping is so quick and easy to get to.
I would never park my vehicle that far from my tent. But each to his own. And my vehicle would be facing the exit way.You are brave especially being alone in the woods. Be safe out there.
Wow Luke, your editing, producing and video footage has hit pro level imo. Super cool video.
I love having a wagon....you can place everything you need in it to get to camp site and also use it for firewood instead of making 4-5 trips. They make some decent large utility wagons that are metal. May be a good addition. 29:51 👍
I really liked the table. Very compact and lightweight compared to a card table or one of those finger pincher camp tables. The holes in the stove legs, makes me wonder if a rod that extends between the two was missing or could be added which would lock the legs apart. Thanks for the video.
My thought was to use a threaded rod, large washers and nuts to spread the legs using the holes.
Love this channel I'm here for the asmr. I think all its missing is a really top notch multichannel microphone to pick up all of those delicious nature sounds all around you.
I love the line “cheers my friends, cheers”. Great stuff man! New fav channel. Also def keep up the Bigfoot/Sasquatch episodes. It’s super fun and a little spooky - perfect addition to the channel.
I grew up on the edge of the Mojave Desert; have lived mostly on Washington's Olympic Peninsula for more than a half-century since those days. Though extremes of either can prove challenging--I've experienced -45F in Fairbanks, AK and worked outside in -35 F in Minneapolis, MN, I'll take the cold over heat most anytime.
Seems like a great camping spot, on the highest point of the hill. Excellent for extreme conditions. It's so enjoyable to drive the truck to the place where you wish to camp. Perfect for a luxurious camp-out!
I know right? It looks too perfect. Like from a movie set lol
Happy New Year to you!...having storms while camping are the best videos and keeps you on the edge of your seat! Hope to see more interesting videos in the new year!
That is quite the setup dude. It looks super comfortable, bravo 👏
The rain falling down on the tent would help me go to sleep in no time at all!!! I love hearing that, just like rain falling on a tin roof!!!
Happy new year Luke been watching you for while now and this year I thought to myself life’s to short to short to be stuck indoors and we live by the new forest in the u.k so I brought a family tent and a 2 man tent and spent most of this year camping with family and friends or on my own and I have loved it thanks for the inspiration
I'm new to the channel. This is my kind of camping! Living in the UK, I'm used to the rain and cold. Your video is like therapy. I'm so chilled out. 😊 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Been watching you and others camp in these ,less than ideal, situations for years and years now. I was a fair weather camper for sure.
I'm now a dad camping with family, and for the last 4 years it has rained on us every time we get out. If prepared its really no big thing.
Anyway Luke, I no longer think your weird for liking storm camping.
Hi from Australia enjoyed the video very informative thank you PS ,so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of lives with those tornado's God bless
Also, to stabilize legs - a piece of metal stock (aluminum) between the lower crossbeams of legs would force them to stay apart on any ground in the event you can’t stake them.
Happy New Year Luke! I very much enjoyed this. I appreciate the work that goes into your videos. Also, your reviews are unbiased and spot on. Take care brother!
: )
*Thank you* for the video.
The next time you know things could get bad considered parking your vehicle up close to your tent to block the wind and shield against potential debris and falling trees.
Next time you use that one tigress stove you could put a piece of wood or two cut to the right length between the legs to keep them from folding if the stove were to be bumped or knocked at any point, or some rocks would also do the trick.
*Thank you again for the video, I haven't seen you in quite a while you've put on a lot of muscle, Well done keep it up Brother you might need it.*
Good seeing you again.
*Don't take what they're doling out...*
often wondered why he didn’t park the car nearer the tent….would make a bit of sense in case of emergencies
Hi Luke, Susan and kids. Happy New Year's and best wishes for the new year. Thanks for all your hard work filming and reviewing gear. Be well.
"anyway, that's all I care to know about that" hahaha love it. Thanks for sharing these great videos!
That dramatic Celtic music in the middle of this video scared the SH*T out of me. I thought he was about to be eaten by wolverines. I was about to start a TH-camrs Prayer Chain. But, then the music stopped and I was no longer scared.
Great video Luke. I really like hot tent ⛺️ videos. The weather was crazy but the tent held up very well. Hope to see that hot tent in many more upcoming videos. Happy New Year to you and your Family!
Great job Luke, an amazing experience and good sense of humor to,happy new year please be safe God bless you always and your family 👪
Would not recommend tapping a chisel into wood while it’s resting on your thigh. Great vid love your outlook on weather. Here in the Canadian Rockies the wind chill yesterday was -40f or -40c. Equal at that temp.
-50's in northern alberta ..... brrrrrr
This. Exactly what I came to say. Made a shiver run through me, having seen too many careless accidents with tools; in the shop, in the fields, and in the wilds.
Bet splitting fire wood gets out a lot of frustration,...it did me when I was younger!
You need to set your tent up properly with the snow skirts flat on the ground which will help with wind blowing inside the tent. You will be far more comfortable and it possibly will not allow as much rain inside. Too bad you don't have a floor for your tent to prevent as much moisture.
