Dude, that thing's huge for a 1-person tent! That stove is gonna keep you nice and toasty in there this winter, can't wait to see your winter camping vids! Thanks for the review, and stay safe, bro!
@DA Spencer right man. I can totally fit 2 adults and for sure one of my kids and I in there. I can’t wait to have it out in the snow and see how it handles some weight. Thanks a lot for watching bro!
Good test. Looks good. I’ve been wanting to get a whole different system for snow hiking or cross country skiing. This would work. Let’s see it in action this winter. Thanks
I saw this video just after I ordered my FireHiking. Gabe me confidence in the purchase. I have been out twice now in this with a homemade stove. Great review.
@Trucker Jon’s Outdoor Shenanigans so glad to hear my video gave you confidence in your tent! Love comments like this. Glad you are enjoying it. Thanks for watching!
All right Spackmann, you convinced me. I’m going camping. If I don’t comment for three videos, Bigfoot got me… (And where’s the video on what I need to do when that’s happens???) Good health and happiness to you and yours bud!
@Dan Reid lmao don’t forget the beef jerky for Bigfoot. I can make a video on that but I thought the beef jerky and Bigfoot is a fairly well known practice when venturing out into the woods. If you didn’t know, then let me fill you in now. Bigfoot only wants one thing from you, beef jerky. He prefers Jack Link but Walmart brand will do in a pinch. You bring you some of that and you’ll have no need to fear him. Lol. Bro I hope you get out and go man! It’s so much fun. Cheers and go camping! Thanks for watching!
I don't often end up watching reviews all the way through, with the exception of a few of my favorite channels. I watched yours to the end because you set up a more realistic test with the hose and showed us something we needed to see about the tent. Very good video. If I can be allowed one criticism, you should consider a lavalier microphones to improve the consistency of your sound. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
@Ready Magazine thank you so much for the kind words. Thank you for watching til the end lol. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I often think about getting a rode wireless mic. Criticism is always welcome. Thank you for watching!
I’ve never paid much attention to waterproof tests because your supposed to waterproof your equipment yourself at least once a season. Nixwax or even that stuff from Walmart with the orange cap in the camping section does an excellent job of waterproofing your tent and anything else you want to waterproof like gloves, boots and tarps.
Love the channel man keep it up! I’ll definitely be making that stove jack sleeve and I might even have a modification that’ll help you with that leaking. as a journeyman welder and machinist I think I can come up with something
@J-Dubb’s Adventure thank you so much for the kind words! That’s awesome! I was thinking like a cone shaped cap but when it’s snowing I really haven’t had an issue with it. Rain season it could totally come in handy. Thanks for watching!
Great test and review dude! I might have to pick one of those up just as another option to try out. Sorry to see you've been getting so much rain there. 🌧 😂
@Backcountry Paddler thanks a lot man. It’s actually been raining for 3 hours today so I left it up and am continuing the testing lol. It’s a nice not expensive option for a hot tent for sure! Thanks for watching!
@Bluecollar Backcountry thank you and so cool! Glad I could inspire you to go hot tenting. Now get one and enjoy lol. It’s so much fun. Thanks for watching
Try closing the gap on the stove pipe/jack with some fiberglass welding blanket. Won't be scuba diving waterproof but at least it wouldn't be a wide open gap you can stare down.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann will get a cheaper one for now and eventually get the pomoly new tent and one of their stoves. Kids can use my other set up all camp together but separate
Without finishing the video, I’m guessing I’ll be looking on Amazon to check this out for myself. And now that I’m working again, I don’t think I need to feel too guilty for lusting after gear anymore I don’t see any coffee, so I’m going to guess zero burns, but then I’m seeing it close to the pole, so I’m going to add one for a possible rearranging of the stove when it’s warm, and an arm brushing against the door for a quick hot touch. Thanks for the great time :)
@Miles Robertson lol I haven’t been burned lately. I actually like the close to the pole arrangement. It worked well. I left a link to the tent in the description of the video if you’re interested. So much coffee was consumed in the making of this video but never got recorded. Thanks a lot for watching bro! Have a nice day!
Thinking of getting a hot tent/stove for christmas for my gf! Your channel has been great for information. I'v been looking into that exact hot stove, what do you think of it?
@Jae Howlett I will be doing a review on that stove in the future. I believe in this video I spoke about the pipe sections not coming apart easily. If I didn’t then. The pipes don’t come apart easily lol. I’m so glad you’re finding info useful. The stove itself is cool but pipe isn’t. Thanks a lot for watching and happy camping!
So glad you liked it! This is an oldie, there are many new one around now. This might have been one of my first tent reviews. Hope you enjoy the channel, welcome my friend. Thanks for watching
@banshee107 you’re welcome. I ended up testing two of these. One had a leak above the door. I have a video on how i fixed it if you have the same problem. Happy camping and thanks for watching!
@Young Gouki thank you so much for the kind words my friend! It seems fairly well made from my first impressions. Have you been hot tenting before? Some tents are very high priced. I have another cheaper hot tent made by 3F UL gear that is really nice, that one is just over $200. Thanks a lot for watching bro!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann i haven’t been yet so videos like this help me out a ton cuz when I watch other people who hot tent when you check what their camping in it’s like 300$ and the stove alone is gonna cost some decent money as well. So this right here is an epic video for us folks on a budget lol
@Young Gouki awesome man! Yeah stoves are ridiculously priced sometimes too! But I do have to say, an expensive stove is usually expensive for a reason. You get what you paid for. I have a few cheap stoves and they do the trick but are missing the bells and whistles and adding pounds to the weights.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann i been looking into the compacting titanium stoves from pomoly they seem to be of excellent quality but damn does it hit the bank account. I'ma bite the bullet and buy one this year because I will justify the stove for not only fun camping but for shtf purposes as well lol.
@@crazynice32 I think a stove is very important in a shtf scenario. That was my main purpose behind purchasing my collapsible stove with the oven built in. It’s has 4 burner plates on top and an oven. It’s so cool! Pomoly does make a beautiful stove. I’m pretty sure they are aiming out with one with an oven. It might be stainless steel but don’t quote me on that. Lol.
I'm going to buy this tent. The price is right for me. But I have one concern....it's a bit more expensive..wouldn't it be less warm than the pomoly hot tent? (When it's cold, there's no wind. It comes in, and there is less cold energy in ….It should be warm...I'm worried about this...(Please give me ideas and ideas for explanations and advice) If you've ever used it... definitely... other products (pomolina..more expensive than other expensive tents..) colder.. can you share if it's weak against the cold??
Hey man, another great video!! I have the same set up as you (3F UL TENT+Stove) what’s the lowest temperature you’ve ever able to make it through the night in there? I’ve just taken it out this weekend and it was 7°C here in Ontario, it was nice and toasty, but I’m worried that it won’t be habitable in much lower temperatures; I’m guessing -10°C/14°F max? Thanks!
@Bohan Zhang coldest I’ve camped was -5 F in the 3F UL tent but I was using the Mr. Buddy heater that time. We stayed warm the whole time. With a wood stove I think it would have been even warmer. But you always wants a sleeping system rated colder than it’s going to be just in case. In temps that cold I always have my 0degree F bag another bag as well. Usually a liner of some sort. I’ve done a leanto with sleeping bags at 5 degrees F and I was warm then too. Doubling up sleeping bags is a great way to camp at lower temps to extend your bag ratings. One bag inside of the other. I’m not a fan of the 3F UL stove version 1 anymore. I believe it has a major design flaw with the door. Stay warm out there and have fun! Thanks for watching!
@Eddie Davenport you can adjust the straps to the stakes. Shorting them would make the gap smaller but probably won’t eliminate it. If you have snow you can build up around it some what with snow. Just make sure it’s still vented somewhere. Other tents will come with a snow skirt which is extra fabric that would hangs down in between each stake out spot so you can cover them with snow, closing the walls. When it’s not really cold out it warms up even with the gaps. Thanks for watching!
Hey,......do you like the stove jack ? If you're warm & dry, that's all you need. What extra little thing did u add to the outside of your stove pipe down by your beloved stove Jack ? You skipped over that pretty fast. There should be no water leaking on your stove. If it is hot you'll have a tent full of steam, or maybe convert it to a sauna.
@Kenton Hammond when it’s raining it’s almost impossible to keep rain out of the stove jack in my experience. They problem here was the hose was spraying right into the stove jack sleeve. I think that’s what you’re asking about. That’s a stove jack sleeve I made as an extra layer of protection for your tent. I like the stove jack it seems well made so far. Nice and thick material. I don’t like stove jack with holes already in them vs ones you cut the hole to fit. Thanks for watching!
@John Lorenze it’s aluminum. Melting point of aluminum is 1221 F so unless I put the pipe in the wood stove I think it will be fine lol. Thanks for watching
@Petra Taylor no it did not come with the tent. It’s one of many in my collection lol. I bought it off Amazon as well a couple years ago. It’s a cool stove but the stove pipe sections tend to get stuck together after use. Thanks a lot for watching!
@Stephan Benson Jr the link I shared doesn’t show an inner tent. Mine didn’t come with one either. You aren’t the first person to bring up the inner tent. Others have said theirs has it. Mine doesn’t show it in the listing and it didn’t come with it. Thanks for watching!
@Hoser7 I had it up in a 3” snow fall and it held. I no longer have it to camp in anymore. I like space. The company also stopped making it and started making a larger 3-4 person teepee instead I believe. Thanks for watching
look your getting pleanty of air. the problem is your pipe is to small. you should have a damper . on a three inch pipe. it looks to be two inch and no damper. your right. it needs to be modified. put a three inch pipe on it. its not that hard to change the ring out. as fare as getting the pipe apart. bend at the connections then bend the other way. i have made many small barrel stoves that size. i would buy it and modify it by putting a larger pipe and pipe ring on it
@Aaron Zierke for the price and knowing you have to modify it is decent. I’ve been meaning to put a 3” on for years. I think I’ll go with the normal size of most titanium stoves, I have a lot of that pipe lol. I think it’s 2.33inch if I remember right. This stoves is 1.75(if I remember right lol) I have flue exits in that size too so it would make it easlier/cheaper for me lol. Thanks for watching ohhh, the pipe idea, bending nice!
@Blue Sea Bushcraft & Outdoors - Mark… I think it’s called the Caribou Backpacker or something like that. I DO NOT recommend this stove. Pipe doesn’t come apart, doesn’t draft well at times. So I just can’t recommend it. Thanks for watching
@Smart Travel Solutions Pakistan the water you saw was being sprayed right down the stove jack sleeve from the hose. When it’s actually raining or snowing, it’s not that big of a problem. I do plan on making a cone top to slide over it to prevent water from coming in even more. If you pipe fixed the stove jack better there shouldn’t be a such a large gap. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann love your videos. Keep up the good work. During heavy rains How would you avoid the water coming in from the bottom. A detailed video with practical examples would help many. Thank u. 👍
@@KK-px4hh the only way I’ve fixed water flowing under the wall and into the tent was by digging a trench around the tent to make the water flow elsewhere. My friends and I just got caught in a rain storm and our whole camp site was flooded. I talked about digging around the tents but I didn’t show it as we we’re scrambling to get everything dry. I should have shown it and next time it happens I will. So glad you enjoy the videos my friend! Thanks for watching
@KCoutdoors missouri yes it would. When it’s really cold out you would adjust the stake out points to draw the bottom to the ground. It’s also important to have your hot tent properly vented especially if it’s the snowy season. When it’s not very cold out the gap makes it not so hot lol. Thanks for watching.
Take any tent and pop rivit two piece of tin with a center hole make any tent a hot tent so why should we buy this one or any other stoves can be made out of barrels amo box and scrap metals may make a video about maken stove jack fer reg old tent
@Bobby Boon I think the tin may transfer too much heat to a regular tent fabric. Not sure but I think so. If I were to convert a reg tent to a hot tent it would be with a bought stove jack or one I would make out of silicone or silicone impregnated fiberglass cloth. I’ll make a video about a conversion at a later time. Maybe next hot tent season. It’s basically over now. Thanks for watching
First let me inform you that apparently they fired all the thread trimmers in all industries I’ve concluded. Second it’s not “cheap” but “most economical”. Finally mention the company who made it vs. Amazon. Amazon won’t sponsor you or send you free stuff but the manufacturer might. Make your only waking thought, “What do i need to do to crack the 2k mark?”
@Renee Gordon lol that explains the threads. Most economical sounds good. The brand that sells it was FireHiking I mentioned it in the video. Well it’s the Amazon company that sells it anyways. I’m thinking I just need more time to hit 2k! We’re almost there! Slowing growing daily. I’m expecting to hit 2k by end of year so fingers crossed. As always thanks for watching!
@Adriana Counsel you can search Amazon for hot tent stoves, then sort by price low to high, find one that looks just like. Most likely it’s the same stove just rebranded under a different name. Thanks for watching
@Adriana Counsel actually this is false, I bought another one that looked just like it and the weld broke yesterday after 18 hours of fire in it. So welds are bad on other brands I think.
1st impression is thats a LOT bigger than most one man tents which barely have room for a grown man and his gear. 2 could probably fit in that tent but it would be tight, especially with a stove but an adult and 2 kids looks really possible especially in comparison to other tents.. you may want to make a piece that slips over your pipe and closes that gap in the jack if you're taking it out this winter...smh... I KNEW that last sentence was going to bite me!! all I had to do was watch another 30 SECONDS....lol... maybe carry enough aluminum foil to make a cone and seal off the jack to the pipe in case of rain/snow... I know Im old skool but I was taught to never touch the tent walls when its raining because it messes with the waterproofing.. there are several types of spray on waterproofing available to reinforce whats there and address the vent area etc
@Doc Ink I’m thinking the same thing about multiple people and especially a kid or two with an adult. Also thinking the same thing with the cap for the pipe but I don’t usually use this stove and the pipe I made the sleeve for fits much better. Thanks a lot for watching bro!
I see a one-star review on the product listing on Amazon. But judging from this test video, the tent should have more stars. I wonder who made this review. Maybe it is a competitor who selling similar hot tents? Aaaa...Unfair
I don't understand why something needs to say "hot tent" in order to put a stove inside. Why can't you just put it on top of something. As long as you've got a "stove jack" for the pipes, what does it matter? Fire proof mat, metal cart, big log.. piece of metal?
@Incognito I mean you don’t need anything under it technically. And anything can be a hot tent if you put heat into it. I’ve added a stove jack to a 3 season tent before. Works great. So yes you can add a stove jack to anything. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann ok . Thanks for confirming! I bought that same little stove but my tent is rather large, with a screened in patio. I am a woman and I "glamp". Happy camping!! 👍😎
@@Cranberryknifecloud I’m not a huge fan of the stove in this video. Caribou 18” I believe. I love glamping too. Different camps for different days. Happy camping to you as well! Thank you.
I'm going to buy this tent. The price is right for me. But I have one concern....it's a bit more expensive..wouldn't it be less warm than the pomoly hot tent? (When it's cold, there's no wind.

@Jinju Lee . If you’re worried about air coming in from the bottom of a tent, you can try to pitch it as close to the ground as you can or build snow walls up around the sides.
Like your posivity and smile… and all the test 👍
Thank you very much. I really enjoy testing products and showing them off. Thanks for watching
I appreciate this video. A person can literally fix all the defects in this tent before ever even given it the test drive.

It comes in, and there is less cold energy in ….It should be warm...I'm worried about this...(Please give me ideas and ideas for explanations and advice)
If you've ever used it... definitely... other products (pomolina..more expensive than other expensive tents..) colder.. can you share if it's weak against the cold??
Hey man, another great video!! I have the same set up as you (3F UL TENT+Stove) what’s the lowest temperature you’ve ever able to make it through the night in there? I’ve just taken it out this weekend and it was 7°C here in Ontario, it was nice and toasty, but I’m worried that it won’t be habitable in much lower temperatures; I’m guessing -10°C/14°F max? Thanks!
@Bohan Zhang coldest I’ve camped was -5 F in the 3F UL tent but I was using the Mr. Buddy heater that time. We stayed warm the whole time. With a wood stove I think it would have been even warmer. But you always wants a sleeping system rated colder than it’s going to be just in case. In temps that cold I always have my 0degree F bag another bag as well. Usually a liner of some sort. I’ve done a leanto with sleeping bags at 5 degrees F and I was warm then too. Doubling up sleeping bags is a great way to camp at lower temps to extend your bag ratings. One bag inside of the other. I’m not a fan of the 3F UL stove version 1 anymore. I believe it has a major design flaw with the door. Stay warm out there and have fun! Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann That for me is priceless information! Thanks again!!
@@bohanzhang984 you’re welcome my friend!
As a novice to hot tents and wanting to get into it. How do you deal with that big gap at the floor? Seems like it would make you freeze at night
@Eddie Davenport you can adjust the straps to the stakes. Shorting them would make the gap smaller but probably won’t eliminate it. If you have snow you can build up around it some what with snow. Just make sure it’s still vented somewhere. Other tents will come with a snow skirt which is extra fabric that would hangs down in between each stake out spot so you can cover them with snow, closing the walls. When it’s not really cold out it warms up even with the gaps. Thanks for watching!
Get the hot tent with the snow flaps.
Tread is not important if the stitch is locked, meaning back stitching
@Joanne Raymond thank you for letting me know. Thanks for watching
Hey,......do you like the stove jack ? If you're warm & dry, that's all you need. What extra little thing did u add to the outside of your stove pipe down by your beloved stove Jack ? You skipped over that pretty fast. There should be no water leaking on your stove. If it is hot you'll have a tent full of steam, or maybe convert it to a sauna.
@Kenton Hammond when it’s raining it’s almost impossible to keep rain out of the stove jack in my experience. They problem here was the hose was spraying right into the stove jack sleeve. I think that’s what you’re asking about. That’s a stove jack sleeve I made as an extra layer of protection for your tent. I like the stove jack it seems well made so far. Nice and thick material. I don’t like stove jack with holes already in them vs ones you cut the hole to fit. Thanks for watching!
Wondering what that center pole is made of. It's really close to the stove. Hope you don't melt it.
@John Lorenze it’s aluminum. Melting point of aluminum is 1221 F so unless I put the pipe in the wood stove I think it will be fine lol. Thanks for watching
Where did you get the wood stove? Did it come with the tent?
@Petra Taylor no it did not come with the tent. It’s one of many in my collection lol. I bought it off Amazon as well a couple years ago. It’s a cool stove but the stove pipe sections tend to get stuck together after use. Thanks a lot for watching!
At least you gave us Real world testing, now it just needs to hit the cold and snow.
@jjr897 thank you! And holy cow are you right, it’s going to be in the 40s this weekend!!! Like wth! Thanks for watching
Use a tennis ball on the top of your pole keeps the pole from ripping the tent
@Joe Nolen good tip! Disperse the weigh along the tennis ball. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann i have a teepee tent from Walmart set up in my back yard thinking about putting a stove jack in .
@Joe Nolen is it the Instant Teepee or the center pole teepee?
Did he mention the stove jack?
@imcalling bs did who mention the stove jack?
Amazon shows this tent with an inner tent. Does it come with it or will that be a separate purchase?
@Stephan Benson Jr the link I shared doesn’t show an inner tent. Mine didn’t come with one either. You aren’t the first person to bring up the inner tent. Others have said theirs has it. Mine doesn’t show it in the listing and it didn’t come with it. Thanks for watching!
thumbs up
@PaPa’s Page thanks a lot man!
Looks good. Bargain!
Have you (or will you) snow camp in it?
@Hoser7 I had it up in a 3” snow fall and it held. I no longer have it to camp in anymore. I like space. The company also stopped making it and started making a larger 3-4 person teepee instead I believe. Thanks for watching
How did you make that thing going around the stove pipe ?
@Larry Capps I have a diy video on it. Check it out if you’re interested czcams.com/video/bvjgrcm0hF8/video.html
81 here today. Does it come with an AC jack ? Thanks for sharing
@John Burgin lol it’s not a cold tent. But you can squeeze an extension cord under the side. Thanks for watching!
look your getting pleanty of air. the problem is your pipe is to small. you should have a damper . on a three inch pipe. it looks to be two inch and no damper. your right. it needs to be modified. put a three inch pipe on it. its not that hard to change the ring out. as fare as getting the pipe apart. bend at the connections then bend the other way. i have made many small barrel stoves that size. i would buy it and modify it by putting a larger pipe and pipe ring on it
@Aaron Zierke for the price and knowing you have to modify it is decent. I’ve been meaning to put a 3” on for years. I think I’ll go with the normal size of most titanium stoves, I have a lot of that pipe lol. I think it’s 2.33inch if I remember right. This stoves is 1.75(if I remember right lol) I have flue exits in that size too so it would make it easlier/cheaper for me lol. Thanks for watching ohhh, the pipe idea, bending nice!
What’s the stove model abs where did you get it? Link?
@Blue Sea Bushcraft & Outdoors - Mark… I think it’s called the Caribou Backpacker or something like that. I DO NOT recommend this stove. Pipe doesn’t come apart, doesn’t draft well at times. So I just can’t recommend it. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann thanks man. I appreciate the heads up
@@BlueSea_72 you’re welcome!
How do you stop the water dripping in from the stove pipe?
@Smart Travel Solutions Pakistan the water you saw was being sprayed right down the stove jack sleeve from the hose. When it’s actually raining or snowing, it’s not that big of a problem. I do plan on making a cone top to slide over it to prevent water from coming in even more. If you pipe fixed the stove jack better there shouldn’t be a such a large gap. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann love your videos. Keep up the good work.
During heavy rains How would you avoid the water coming in from the bottom. A detailed video with practical examples would help many. Thank u. 👍
@@KK-px4hh the only way I’ve fixed water flowing under the wall and into the tent was by digging a trench around the tent to make the water flow elsewhere. My friends and I just got caught in a rain storm and our whole camp site was flooded. I talked about digging around the tents but I didn’t show it as we we’re scrambling to get everything dry. I should have shown it and next time it happens I will. So glad you enjoy the videos my friend! Thanks for watching
Wouldn't the gap at the bottom just allow more child air in the tent
@KCoutdoors missouri yes it would. When it’s really cold out you would adjust the stake out points to draw the bottom to the ground. It’s also important to have your hot tent properly vented especially if it’s the snowy season. When it’s not very cold out the gap makes it not so hot lol. Thanks for watching.
😮 No floor, no Bueno!
Sometimes I like not having a floor and sometimes I like having one. Thanks for watching
Take any tent and pop rivit two piece of tin with a center hole make any tent a hot tent so why should we buy this one or any other stoves can be made out of barrels amo box and scrap metals may make a video about maken stove jack fer reg old tent
@Bobby Boon I think the tin may transfer too much heat to a regular tent fabric. Not sure but I think so. If I were to convert a reg tent to a hot tent it would be with a bought stove jack or one I would make out of silicone or silicone impregnated fiberglass cloth. I’ll make a video about a conversion at a later time. Maybe next hot tent season. It’s basically over now. Thanks for watching
First let me inform you that apparently they fired all the thread trimmers in all industries I’ve concluded. Second it’s not “cheap” but “most economical”. Finally mention the company who made it vs. Amazon. Amazon won’t sponsor you or send you free stuff but the manufacturer might. Make your only waking thought, “What do i need to do to crack the 2k mark?”
@Renee Gordon lol that explains the threads. Most economical sounds good. The brand that sells it was FireHiking I mentioned it in the video. Well it’s the Amazon company that sells it anyways. I’m thinking I just need more time to hit 2k! We’re almost there! Slowing growing daily. I’m expecting to hit 2k by end of year so fingers crossed. As always thanks for watching!
currently unavailable.. which is a shame :(
@Adriana Counsel you can search Amazon for hot tent stoves, then sort by price low to high, find one that looks just like. Most likely it’s the same stove just rebranded under a different name. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann good point, thankx :)
@Adriana Counsel actually this is false, I bought another one that looked just like it and the weld broke yesterday after 18 hours of fire in it. So welds are bad on other brands I think.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann ok thanks for letting me know.
@@adrianacounsel7277 you’re welcome. Sorry I found out two days ago while using it lol.
Let's see what's in the dime bag
@Fall Front 21 lol thanks for watching
Does this tent really weigh 4 lbs???
@justin ford I didn’t put it on a scale but that’s what it’s advertised as. Thanks for watching.
1st impression is thats a LOT bigger than most one man tents which barely have room for a grown man and his gear. 2 could probably fit in that tent but it would be tight, especially with a stove but an adult and 2 kids looks really possible especially in comparison to other tents.. you may want to make a piece that slips over your pipe and closes that gap in the jack if you're taking it out this winter...smh... I KNEW that last sentence was going to bite me!! all I had to do was watch another 30 SECONDS....lol... maybe carry enough aluminum foil to make a cone and seal off the jack to the pipe in case of rain/snow... I know Im old skool but I was taught to never touch the tent walls when its raining because it messes with the waterproofing.. there are several types of spray on waterproofing available to reinforce whats there and address the vent area etc
@Doc Ink I’m thinking the same thing about multiple people and especially a kid or two with an adult. Also thinking the same thing with the cap for the pipe but I don’t usually use this stove and the pipe I made the sleeve for fits much better. Thanks a lot for watching bro!
@Doc Ink lol
I see a one-star review on the product listing on Amazon. But judging from this test video, the tent should have more stars. I wonder who made this review. Maybe it is a competitor who selling similar hot tents? Aaaa...Unfair
@Fire20 Outdoors I didn’t check the reviews but I’ll be adding one for sure lol. Thanks for watching!
I don't understand why something needs to say "hot tent" in order to put a stove inside. Why can't you just put it on top of something. As long as you've got a "stove jack" for the pipes, what does it matter? Fire proof mat, metal cart, big log.. piece of metal?
@Incognito I mean you don’t need anything under it technically. And anything can be a hot tent if you put heat into it. I’ve added a stove jack to a 3 season tent before. Works great. So yes you can add a stove jack to anything. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann ok . Thanks for confirming! I bought that same little stove but my tent is rather large, with a screened in patio. I am a woman and I "glamp". Happy camping!! 👍😎
@@Cranberryknifecloud I’m not a huge fan of the stove in this video. Caribou 18” I believe. I love glamping too. Different camps for different days. Happy camping to you as well! Thank you.
Can't hear anything you say

It's definitely the cheapest. Barely fit a cot in it.
Yeah not sure if it would fit a cot or not. Thanks for watching

@Jinju Lee . If you’re worried about air coming in from the bottom of a tent, you can try to pitch it as close to the ground as you can or build snow walls up around the sides.
