Snow Storm Camping In A Hot Tent

all right we are going to do some winter camping and we are in my backyard actually i went and bought a mr heater tough buddy and we're going to use that in my little small luxe mini peak tent it's supposed to get down to about 24 degrees fahrenheit tonight we might have a little bit of snow i'm not sure we'll cook up some food enjoy ourselves around a campfire and hopefully stay nice and warm in the tent all right let's get things going [Applause] so all right first thing we're going to do is we're going to set up our tent here's the lux peak mini peak uh it's been a really good shelter i've just never tried it winter camping so let's set this up i'm just gonna clear out a spot here it looks pretty level gotta sit down a little tarp first [Applause] so this is just a little emergency shelter or tarp blanket thingymajigger and it's got some reflectance on it so i'm hoping that'll kind of help keep me warm i don't have the biggest of uh sleeping pads so this is gonna be really interesting okay we will set up the tent now it does have a little inner shelter but i'm gonna leave that out this time i want a little more room in that tent uh all right we'll get our tent pole and we will get that tent all situated all right so i finally got the tent set up it looks pretty good nice and tight i think it's gonna do just great now we'll just go ahead and get everything inside and then we'll start a campfire and get to cooking okay so i've got a sleeping pad now this is not a winter pad so i'm just testing out to see if this reflectix and i don't even know the r value of this pad itself but that's all i have i don't have anything else yet so we're gonna use what we got and we'll see how warm this will keep me we'll just throw this i out i'm going to sleep on this side and have the buddy heater over there at least we're going to try that this first time all right we'll get our sleeping bag out so this is just a zero degree bag supposed to get down to about 24 tonight so we'll see how this does actually it looks like it opens on the right hand side so i think what i'll do is i will move to the other side zero degree it's kind of like a mummy bag too you kind of get your head in there and zip it up i don't know it's not a good bag it's not the lightest it's good for winter camping okay i changed my mind again we're gonna put it right back there that stretches the length of this sleeping bag so that's how i normally sleep i just i'm not sure how i'm gonna have the buddy heater hopefully this is comfortable i feel like i'm on a slope yeah want a little bit of a slope maybe i can clear it out too much snow in here all right well we'll situate that later then we'll just grab the pillow another teton product i don't have the funds for all the expensive equipment okay there we go body heater probably right here got plenty of room to kind of keep it away i need at least 12 inches i would say see if i can level off the ground a little better oh there's a stick there we'll put the buddy heater right here i'll lay right there and i'll put my gear over here so while i go in and out of the tent i can kind of just move this out of the way got four bottles of propane i don't know how well this little thing's gonna do so i'm gonna try it and then i've got my little camp chair all right let's go collect some firewood start a fire and we've got some steak to cook you so so we are going to attempt to start this fire right here in the snow i've got some bark and some needles pine needles and then i also have some fat wood so we'll just kind of shave that up and put it in there first time ever using it now we're just going to try to get a fire going sit around it for a little bit cook some food that's gonna be the gist of it all right i tried with the uh fatwood and stuff and i just couldn't get it going so i'm just gonna cheat and use a tumbleweed i don't know if it's cheating or not i'm just i'm not great at making fires just yet so what i'm going to do is i'm just going to light it up and we will put the pine needles on top hopefully we can get a fire going here oh we've got to have a backup all right so hopefully that fire will keep going and we'll be able to cook a steak uh got a nice fire going now i had to uh change out of my coat and shirt because i was sweating a little too much so now i've got my nice warm wool coat on fleece or wool i think it's fleece actually so we'll get a bed of coals going and then uh we'll cook up our steak we'll have steak and some salad and then we'll get that uh ten heating up and we'll relax and kind of check out to see how hot it'll actually get so we've got a nice little steak here new york i'm gonna pull it out and we're just gonna season it up that fire is just about ready we've got quite a bit of coals there so let's do that got some seasonings here we'll do salt pepper a little salt salt pepper and garlic spg i like garlic there we go okay we'll flip her over do the other side salt pepper garlic put it back in there oh yeah that's gonna be really good the fire is just about there go ahead and pull some coals off of there and we're just gonna do a caveman style okay we'll let those kind of just cool for a few maybe gotta keep that fire going there you go caveman steak man i'm telling you i'm i'm thinking it's gonna be really good at least i hope so now you might have some coal stick to it but that's okay just dust them off got some ash on there as well you know what i think it's going to add to the flavor all right we're gonna go ahead and pull that off oh that's hot ah oh that's hot okay i'm gonna dust off some of the charcoal here get that off of there man that fire is hot okay she looks pretty good all right so i'm just going to set it in here and i'm going to let her rest for a little bit and then i'm going to make up a salad so i've got a maple bourbon bacon chopped salad [Applause] i'm just gonna prepare it inside the bag here hopefully that works let's see get out the knife here there's a couple things inside here that i've got to grab out oops feeding the rabbits i guess okay looks like we got some sort of i guess that's the dressing yeah maple bourbon vinaigrette dressing got some nuts and that's the bacon we'll just dump it in there oh no i lost some bacon try to salvage it and we've got some nuts go and then we'll just pour our vinaigrette inside there and we'll shake it up we'll just do a little bit at a time though kind of a little bit there now i do live by a train track so you guys are gonna hear some trains tonight some people find that soothing though do a little more dressing it's a little boy here we go there we go salads made clean up my garbage there's a piece of bacon there okay let's cut into that steak shall we oh yeah look at that oh oh it's good go ahead and add our salad [Applause] well that's good [Applause] add a little more vinegar there we go all right there's dinner looks awesome look at that piece of meat that's a really good steak let's try the salad hmm that's good too nice vinegar bourbon a little bit of nuts and a little bit of bacon don't get any better than that right there man it's so nice and quiet out here so nice and quiet definitely stuff from that steak it was really good if you haven't cooked a steak on just a bed of coals you need to try it it's actually really good that salad was good too so my fire's just about out we'll uh retreat into the tent here in a minute and we'll see how hot we can get that tent going we've got a couple of things i'm gonna show you and uh yeah that's what we're gonna do i think it's gonna be a lot of fun can't wait to kind of try out this stuff basically this is kind of a test run for me just to make sure that i can kind of figure it all out and hopefully that tents big enough i don't know it might be a little cramped in there for you guys so bear with me all right she's pretty much out let's head to bed we'll get this uh heater started up i'm really excited about it really excited all right climb in here all right there's our heater i'm going to bed down there and i've got not a whole lot of room so what we're going to do is already got a tank on it so we're just going to start it up let's see if you can see this okay turn the pilot on there we go we'll hold it for a second and we'll turn it to high there we go we'll get this zip shut real quick okay so i'm not sure how well you guys can see me but we got the buddy heater going and i have this i've got snow falling off me oh boy we don't want snow on here okay i have this carbon monoxide detector so we're going to run this tonight for sure you definitely want to do that everything that i've researched i mean the the mr heater has uh fall detection and uh has low oxygen sensors but you can't trust them you know you you've got to have at least two different ways of of telling so it's already getting pretty toasty in here so now what i've got is a thermometer indoor outdoor so i gotta actually go outside again and set this out there but right now it's set on outdoor and the temperature is 28 degrees we're inside obviously and then you can click and go to indoors and it's showing 32 i think that's as low as it goes for this setting because it's definitely not 32 degrees in here i don't think um i haven't been running the heater that long so anyways that is a starting point we're at 32 we'll see how long this thing takes to heat up i'll go set this outside here in a minute so yeah we got those two things and that's about it we're just gonna kind of hunker down and get cozy get warm and cozy also one other things i want to show you is i've got this little trail cam we'll set this up before we go to bed and we'll see if anything uh decides to walk by you always hear crazy things at night you know when you're camping so i want to know what it is or maybe i don't all right i'm gonna go set this outside we'll find a good spot for it and we'll keep track of this we went up two degrees just because i set it next to it not sure if you can see it hopefully you can but yeah we'll just keep this i don't know where maybe i'll keep it over here all right i'll check back with you guys here in a few minutes okay so the mr buddy is sitting on a little cookie sheet because from research it said it might leak a little bit you know condensate you can see the bottle's already really cold so it might you know drip some water so put it in there to kind of capture it it's on low right now i've got the uh thermometer over here we're at 36 already you want to also make sure you have plenty of ventilation with one of these so i've got got a big gap underneath there kind of throughout the tent and then i have also have up here i've got a little uh vent up there so yeah i mean i'm getting hot now we're sitting on low right now which is about 4 000 btus we kick it up to high we've got 9 000 btus make sure this tent doesn't get too hot on the top though all right i'm gonna just set the thermometer right here in the middle i don't really know where else to set it i could set it on top of this i guess well that's so close to the heater i don't know i wish i had a better spot now that's outdoor this is indoor okay so 41. yeah it's already getting pretty hot in here 40 degrees 41 degrees already um yeah super excited about this i've been wanting to do this for so long winter camping so what is the cost to get into winter camping i'll tell you right now this setup was really cheap actually in the large scheme of all the hot tenting uh stuff um i got my tough buddy here at lowe's or you can probably find it online for about around uh seventy dollars and then this tent the luxe mini peak is 75 so you're looking at 145 to get into hot tenting and you can camp during the winter well you also got to buy one of these too i guess and this was 25 bucks i mean so 160 70 dollars i don't know roughly around 200 bucks and you can get into hot kent hot tent camping can't even speak but yeah i'm loving this so far this is great i'm gonna have to shed some clothes here in a minute and uh yeah i'm gonna watch a movie not sure which one yet we'll figure it out i'll tell you guys when i find out which one i'm gonna watch yeah just hanging out staying warm what is the temp outside so the temp outside is well says it's about 29 which that went up from you can hear the train now so anyways 29 degrees outside 43 on the inside i don't know how accurate this thing is but we'll go with it as long as i stay comfortable the only thing that i'm really worried about is my sleeping pad that situation there is not very good but i'm not going to run the i'm not going to run the heater all night i don't think i don't know if that's really safe so it's just kind of you know cut the chill a little bit we'll see better safe than sorry though all right i'll check back with you guys in a little bit okay we're back for an update i don't know how long it's been because i haven't been keeping track but we are up to 52 so that's good and it is 26 outside so i've just been keeping it kind of central over here i'm sure it's a lot colder around the skirting of the tent but i'm nice and warm so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna go set up our trail cam before it gets too late it's already i think it's about nine o'clock right now so we'll get this set up i'll show you guys that and then we'll just hunker down go to bed watch a movie have fun all right let's do it okay we'll go outside all the hot air out okay close up tent don't want the heat to escape all right okay so we're gonna be using this on a tripod that'll make it easy i think i'll come over here away from the tent a little bit so the tent's there you can hardly see it we'll set our tripod right here let's set you guys down okay so there we are it's just a little cam park trail cam this thing's wi-fi though so that's really sweet i can use it with my phone so we'll turn it to set up real quick okay i don't know if you guys can see it very well there's a couple settings i needed to change i'll go menu okay i think we're good got it on setting okay all right so basically what we'll do is we'll turn it to on real quick and we will close it up and we will go access it through i'll just point it towards trying to point it towards the tent a little better there we go all right it's uh probably looking at me right now we'll go get inside the tent and i will show you guys what you can do with it with the wi-fi from my phone okay oh boy it is a small tent but it is nice okay so we're back at the tent i'm gonna just show you guys my screen real quick so we have this little app here hunting camera app we'll click on that okay now we'll hit uh bluetooth and see if we can actually start up the camera from here i don't know how far away i am turn on bluetooth scanning modules okay so now we turn on wi-fi wi-fi is on now okay so we hit plus now we can see our tent yeah there we are you can also change the modes to camera i'll take a picture see what happens all right let's uh let's turn off the light and see how what it looks like still see some light from there huh doesn't look that bright oh well we will see what happens tonight so it should uh should capture some video if anything walks by there it is that's the uh trail cam all right so camera set up i'm gonna go ahead and change into my sleeping attire get out of my boots and everything crawling to bed watch a movie but i'm gonna keep you guys updated here in a minute um i still don't know what movie i'm watching so all right check back with you in a few minutes half an hour hour i don't know how long okay i've got uh my sleeping clothes on we are up to well it says 74 but i don't know it's it's kind of close to the uh heater there and i've got it on high so i'm nice and warm there's no doubt about that and it is 25 outside it's starting to snow or yeah definitely starting the snow um i can hear it hitting the tent i've got a little bit of condensation um that's one thing that you're going to run into with propane heaters is you're going to run into condensation so all right well i am going to bed down i've got a couple snacks here got a nutrigrain bar and a candy cane left over from christmas and i'm gonna watch uh the vanishing never seen that movie so they look like an interesting one so i'll catch up to you guys in the morning uh hopefully i sleep well i'll probably shut this off before i go to bed and yeah we're still looking good also on the carbon monoxide detector zero i haven't heard a single thing so we're well ventilated in here so that's really good but anyways i'll give you guys an update in the morning and uh i'll let you know how i sleep all right good night everybody see you tomorrow oh man it snowed a lot last night that's awesome well winter wonderland it's still coming down too oh better get back inside close it
