The family and I went tent camping this past August. We had a freak temperature drop. Was expecting 70°f at night, ended up in the 40s. I will be packing my Mr. Heater for every camping trip from now on. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
We live in an RV now, and we left Mr Heater in the storage unit in Texas and were in the North Georgia mountains. Tania is asking me, "excuse me, where is my Buddy, I'm COLD!!!" LOL
You hit the nail on the head! It's not that I like being cold. I love winter camping because I like getting warm in the cold. Nothing better than sipping a hot toddy by the fire and then snuggling into my warm sleeping bag in my heated tent in the evening. Living in Florida we chase the cold to the Georgia mountains to enjoy a mild winter and cozy fun. Also, I second all your tips! Camp cots, wool socks and hot hands are the best!
Sorry for the delayed response, we've been busy with selling our house and moving into an RV. It's actually cold in the RV at the moment because I need to swap out the propane tanks, and I'm fascinating about holding my hands by the heat, LOL.
Great ideas on cold weather camping, I love my wool blanket wrapped around a 40 degree sleeping bag, I'm good to well below freezing with that, wool sock are a must in the northern mountains in the wintertime. I enjoy all types of camping, it just depends where your camping and how much weight you want to carry. I hope you have a great weekend
We have used one...with small tank and you are spot on with the middle of the night change. Wanted to add we also did tons of research and watched similar video of guy testing carbon monoxide levels inside a tent and none of the sensors went off and his tent was canvas with less built in air vents. Our 10 by 14 has a rainfly over mesh ceiling that sits a good 6 inches over the mesh, plenty of air flow, but also has two, floor level side vents, one on each end of tent that you stake out so we didn't worry about the propane. We block the vent on one end to keep tent warmer. Also, if there happens to be electric, even in heavily wooded campground that's a win. Take a strong gauge extension cord and a heater with auto shut off. Will not overhear in the night. One more tip... the boot and hand warmer instant packs can keep you warm inside your sleeping bag and it's a must to layer. Layer layer layer.. you'll stay toasty warm... Watch Matthew Posa camp in his sleeping bag on the snow packed ground under a tarp in 20* and enjoy it....You'll never fear camping in 40* again. Lol Ok, one more, tarp your tent!! This insulates it nicely. If you still want your tent vented on top tarping the side walls helps by several degrees. My husband and I have tent camped from Florida to Vermont , mostly state and national parks and loved every minute of it. As long as there's hot coffee every morning. Ha
Before we had kids, we went tent camping & it started to rain when we were supposed to make dinner. We brought our mini charcoal grill INTO the tent. Not smart. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♂️ That Mr. Heater looks like a great addition to keep you warm. I love the idea of taking it outside to keep your feet warm while you eat. Brilliant.
I'm coughing imagining charcoal burning in the tent. Don't feel bad, I guarantee you I've had my share of bad ideas. Thanks for watching our video, we appreciate y'all.
Great tips.👍👍👍 BTW, I didnt notice your shirt until you pointed it out 😉 P.s, if you get a propane hose fuel filter, it will keep your heater from getting gummed up with the chemicals inside the hose.
The filter isn't necessary when you use an official Mr Heater hose. Mr Heater doesn't use typical oils in their hoses like the other brands and per their official documentation, a filter isn't needed with their hoses. But highly recommended when using non-official hoses. Now it's also recommended to replace the Mr Heater hose more often, as those oils in hoses help with aging. So the official hoses will dry rot much faster. But, I can honestly say, I'm at about 4 years now and the same hose is still doing great, and no gummed up issues.
Wow, talk about an instant tent! Love the intro! We used a little buddy heater when he went tent camping last month. It worked great to take the chill out of the morning. Great suggestions. 👍😃
A nice option for anyone who wants to go without propane are heating bricks. NOT to be confused with regular red building bricks, these bricks are specially made to be put next to or in a campfire and then when you’re ready for bed, pull them out with a stick and wrap in 100% wool and they are like the best reheatable pads.
Great video!!! We needed this when Maggie planned a camping trip to the redwoods and we were not ready for the 30 degree nights! We were freezing and lets just say that our trip was cut short!!! We have gotten inserts for our sleeping bags that have made such a difference for us and lets us stay warm in cooler temps! Good advice to stay warm and we will be taking some of these with us when camping this winter! Stay cool and warm 🤣 Thanks so much for sharing! ~ Brandon and Maggie
Cool and warm, LOL. Thanks for watching, glad I could give some good tips. Been missing y'all.

Excellent video, however Mr heater sells and highly recommends that you use the inline filter when using a hose and remote tank. Reason being that the hose interior breaks down and debris will ruin your heater.
Per Mr. Heaters official documentation, the filter is only needed if using a hose of a different brand as they are made with oils that leach out and get into the heater. Mr Heater brand hoses do not use that oil in the production of the hose. However a replacement hose will need to be purchased more often because of the lack of those oils.
"Go frown somewhere else", LOL! I'd love to see all of you get into that one pair of socks! :) Awesome tips for keeping warm in a tent. ~ Tim, Gracie, and Krystal
Great video. Nice tips now that it is getting cold down here in Alabama. Our son and his wife will be tent camping this weekend, so I'll make sure they watch this, too. Thanks!
Straight up Fire 🔥 love this David! Awesome transitions (I wish tents really did that) lol stay warm friend 😎 also dig the shirt by the way. We like to use the hot hands for when we go hunting in PA. I shove them in my boots and it helps a lot. The Mr. Buddy heaters are HOT!
I wish tents really did that too, LOL. Dig the shirt? LOL. I need to bury this shirt. It's a grease and dirt magnet. I don't know if you noticed. at the end of the video I threw the shirt in the wash. I was editing the video and saw how dirty the shirt was, and couldn't believe I filmed all that in a dirty shirt. So I went and threw it in the washing machine while filming it, and put that at the end. LOL. I really enjoy making these videos.

No you do not, I did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos before I bought the heater myself. The only concern is that when it uses all the oxygen, the flame goes out. To prevent that, vent your tent window at least 18 inches to allow some fresh air to feed into the tent. And that will not cause the tent to get too cold. We were able to keep the tent almost too warm with the heater.
I'm with you. The ONLY good thing about being cold IS getting warm. Socks, what the hell are those? Oh, wait, I think I have a pair around here somewhere. 🤔 Greyt upload today friend! 👍 So, I was listening to Nick Nimmon while I was driving to an adventure today and I heard your channel called out! 😲 The internet isn't as big as I thought! 🤣 Love Nick! 👍 ~ Kristine
I still love the cold, cause I don't sweat. But I really love a hot shower on a cold day, and a warm blanket.... I can go on and on, LOL. What a coincidence. I've been watching Nick Nimmon for a while, and I got to thinking, you know, I'd like to check out his private streams and that private facebook group, so I decided to join. We will see how it goes for a while.
@@TexasFamilyCamping I spent most of my life living in cold climes, turning like a rotisserie chicken in front of wood stoves. 🥶 Some of us just aren't meant for cold weather. I hated cold when I was a little kid and that hasn't changed. I've watched Nick on and off for a while too. I hope you get some greyt "secrets" from joining!
Hi thanks for your video! I, like you like to work on getting warm what a great way to put that!! I was wondering your opinion on using the buddy heater in a double tent cot. It will just be me and my dog so we should be able to stay on one side. The tent is 7’x4’ I want to go camping so bad right now but it’s getting cooler smh thanks for any advice.
Make sure it has oxygen, by venting the window a little bit, and make sure nothing will get past that little protection. If it tips over it will auto shut off, so the only danger at that point is, you getting cold. It doesn't have harmful gases. But if the air gets low, it will also shut off. Just remember, 18 inches of window opening. Trust me, it won't let in too much cold air. You'll be nice and toasty
Great video, my friend! Great winter camp! Enjoyed watching, your and bushcraft skills are terrific! And the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, Tex, and welcome to my channel about special Russian bushcraft tips and hacks! Best Regards, Yuriy!
We used to watch Friends, all day every day. And the word Phalanges has been stuck in my head, just like Smelly Cat. We are supposed to tent camp this weekend, but Tania is getting a wisdom tooth pulled right now, not sure if we will have to cancel or not.
do you think the little buddy would work in a Ozark trail 4 person tent? Or be too hot aimed at the roof of the tent? I haven’t tested it out yet, I got it cause it packs down good but may return it for the portable buddy in this video
The Buddy heater in this video cannot be tipped back. It has a safety feature that will shut it off to prevent a fire. If it's too hot, open your windows a little more to let a bit more cool air in. Keep the heater on low.
Great video. I can remember having a sleeping bag and sleeping in a tent in the Hill County in November and December I found out the hard way it was the wrong bag for me. Good info on camping for sure. I see the washing machine in the end of the video so perhaps a video coming out on taking your washing machine with you on camping trips? That would be a TH-cam sensation. LOL Take care friends stay safe 👏🥑❤️👍🇺🇸
Finally someone mentions the washing machine, LOL. I was so embarrassed that I filmed all that and while editing I was like, "that shirt is SO DIRTY." So I went and filmed myself throwing it in the wash to end the video.
41° isn't even worth bothering sparking up a heater where I live if you have a good sleeping bag system. I'm guessing you are down in Texas or some place that has no practical clue about deep cold. I live in northern Alberta, Canada and camp even in winter - Canadian winter - at -30°! With all that my-winter-is-colder-than-your-winter stuff out of the way, hypothermia is a risk even at +50°F if you are damp/wet and the wind comes up like on high country hikes. Fog, dew or light rain can be a real risk, but so can propane heaters like the "Buddy Heater" style heaters. When propane is burned, water vapour is created. There is enough vapour to make your clothing and bedding damp enough to not only make you miserable, but will increase the risk for hypothermia. Just thought I'd put that caution out there... I was nearly a fatality from hypothermia courtesy of my ignorance/inexperience as a young fella. Hypothermia is a sneaky thing and shivering is just the beginning; irrational thoughts and actions, listlessness and uncoordination, limbs heavy like lead are just a few signs. God bless and play safe from an Albertan neighbour.
I would totally try camping at -30, BUT the rest of my family would not. The moisture from the burning propane can be felt on the tent itself, so we move in a bit to avoid touching the walls to stay dry.
Go frown somewhere else LOL. That was funny! I love fuzzy socks!! But I can not sleep with socks on! Hot hands work very well. Had some when I went deer hunting with Jessie once. Phalanges! Just had a friend's TV show flashback! Buddy is a great heater. We love ours. I watched that video on safety of the heater. We still crack a window. Interesting about the hose. Didn't know that. We have only used the little tanks, though. Great tips.
Tania has to sleep with socks on and I have to sleep without them. Opposites attract. Phalanges, yup, Phoebe stopping the plane from leaving that Rachel was on, the last episode of Friends. Hey, it's something that you and I actually have both watched, that's a first, LOL.
@@TexasFamilyCamping 🤣😂 she also used phalange as her last name of her fake name. Regina Phalange. Joey was Ken Adams. Yup I've see that series a few times.
The best way to heat a tent would be with a tent stove. Unfortunately the smallest I could find cost about $500 and weighs over 7 pounds. Its totally unnecessary that they should be that colossal. You could easily heat a two person tent with a stove half that size. Even 1/4th. Most people aren't expecting to lay out in shorts in the dead of winter. They are just looking not to freeze to death while wearing winter clothes. Anything that will raise the temperature a little above freezing wile venting out the CO would do. The most viable options I've seen are DIY stoves but I don't have the time or skills for that.
Most people can haul those stoves. I know what you are talking about, and they are great in the much colder climates. I'm hoping to have experience with one of those some day.
It actually runs out of oxygen before the levels get dangerously low to humans. I've seen it happen, it quit burning, I could still breath though. I typically crack the window zippers on two windows about 18 inches and it works just fine.

"Don't make a campfire in your tent". Perfect advice!
I figure I better put some kind of disclaimer in there, LOL.
Why not?
Because you know some idiot will do it..

I'm glad someone else understands that explanation. Thanks for confirming that.
Good stuff
Thank you.
Wish I watched this prior to camping. But, I’ll be ready for the cold next time! Thank you for the advice!
Glad we could help. Was it a miserable, cold night?
I'm diabetic and canadian, so I'm gonna use this advise indoors in the winter haha!
Terrific. Try to get the propane tank outside if you are using the big tank.
Great ideas on cold weather camping, I love my wool blanket wrapped around a 40 degree sleeping bag, I'm good to well below freezing with that, wool sock are a must in the northern mountains in the wintertime. I enjoy all types of camping, it just depends where your camping and how much weight you want to carry. I hope you have a great weekend
That extra blanket makes such a difference. I want to be able to say I've tried all the types of camping some day.
Canadian here. Had to tune in, to hear about that nasty Texas cold.
I know it pails in comparison, but it's still cold enough for thermal socks and Buddy heaters

@@TexasFamilyCamping I love that show and could watch it right now lol. My daughter and I are always referencing it in some way or another lol
@@HappyPlaceCamping We still quote the show here too. A LOT.
The best way to heat a tent would be with a tent stove. Unfortunately the smallest I could find cost about $500 and weighs over 7 pounds. Its totally unnecessary that they should be that colossal. You could easily heat a two person tent with a stove half that size. Even 1/4th. Most people aren't expecting to lay out in shorts in the dead of winter. They are just looking not to freeze to death while wearing winter clothes. Anything that will raise the temperature a little above freezing wile venting out the CO would do. The most viable options I've seen are DIY stoves but I don't have the time or skills for that.
Most people can haul those stoves. I know what you are talking about, and they are great in the much colder climates. I'm hoping to have experience with one of those some day.
I missed where to purchase the socks. Can you let me know that, please? Thank you.

Those will have your feet feeling nice and warm.
Lmao, you’d freeze here
Define "here." I'd love a challenge

@@jayamos456 Some day we will take our RV up there, and I'll go out for a night with the tent. I promise not to die.
What's wrong build a fire sleeping bag blanket thermal wear, done.
That's an option, but won't work for every situation.
I'd love to have a automatic pop up tent where you buy that lol
I wish they were that easy. I'm just a practicing movie magic man.
Gazel tents do pop up
Have ya'll ran the Buddy in your camper?
Not yet. We haven't had the RV long enough to cold weather camp yet. We have used the built in heater out back behind the house, just to test it out.
@Jake LaGotta yes, they don't put off harmful fumes, they shut off if tipped over. Just crack one window to make sure fresh oxygen can get in
Did all those spots come out?
I probably should have used some dawn first, LOL.
@@TexasFamilyCamping It usually works but not always.
To much talk. Show somethings.
Every single word was useful to me
Don't roll up your sleeping bag. Get a compression bag. Best decision I ever made.
Just don't store your sleeping bag in it.
LOL, some people have obsessive compulsive disorder.... I'm somebody, LOL.
Wtf is the background muzak for? This is not entrrtainment!
Thanks for the criticism. I like music. If you do not there is no contract requiring you to keep watching. Have a blessed week.
@@TexasFamilyCamping no bad feelings, I love you too.
It is an esthetic question.
Form and content = take away.
Your channel is great.
if the heater runs out of oxygen so will anyone in the tent
It actually runs out of oxygen before the levels get dangerously low to humans. I've seen it happen, it quit burning, I could still breath though. I typically crack the window zippers on two windows about 18 inches and it works just fine.
