#Itsgoodinthewoods #LuxeMinipeakXL #LuxeHikingGear #GearReview
Update....Luxe hiking gear is ripping a lot of people off as of lately. Buyer beware. I do not recommend buying anything from this company. I have made an update video about the situation. Here is the link to the update video if you are interestedczcams.com/video/WfGQBoN_r-4/video.html&t
I totally agree. This whole setup is really nice. I’ve used it twice. With the inner tent, and a www titanium wood stove.
Winter, white mountains in NH. 4 nights one time, 5 nights the next. With the stove burning and damper open, the interior was 70f…and closing the damper, the stove would stay hot for a while. Maybe a couple hours. It’s cool because a wood stove/fire gets you warm twice. Once while foraging and cutting, and again, burning it. And like he said, it’s a perfect size for one man, gear, and stove.
The White Mountains! My stomping grounds. These are awesome tents. I am glad to hear you received yours. Also glad to hear you enjoy it. Hot tents can be a lot of fun. LHG is ripping a lot of people off.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods yeah, so I’ve heard. That’s too bad. The product has been great. I got mine January 2020. Usually if the product sucks, so does the company. Strange to have such reliable and good products, with terrible customer service.
Great honest review- much respect!Anyone can unbox a tent, set it up in their yard and tell you how great it is, but until a product has been put thru repeated-use in a variety of conditions, there's no way to know how it will hold up long-term.
After a year of heavy use, I love my Minipeak XL! I guess it's about time for me to make a review video as well...
I agree 100% ! Do a review on yours! I would like to see that. Have a great Thanksgiving !
Dude; one of the most thorough tent reviews I’ve seen. Well done. Gives me all the information I could need to see if the purchase is worth it to me; seems like it is!
This is one of my very favorite hot tents! it has been such a good tent. Well worth the cost. I am glad you enjoy the video and found it useful. Thank you
I have checked out this company numerous times over last few years. Today I noticed it was on sale for 149 for the inner and outer tent. Your video made me order it. Can't wait.
That’s like the tent I always used during deer hunting season. Mine was a canvas pyramid tent with a wood stove that weighted a ton but this was set up next to where we parked our trucks. No matter what the weather, it stood the test of time from Massachusetts to northern Maine. After a day of hunting it was fantastic to light the fire in the wood stove.. pour a glass of bourbon or two, and make an incredible dinner which many times would be heart and liver with onions and bacon from our harvest. Somehow I think you can relate.
Thanks Justin for the review, I appreciate good equipment, good people and honest reviews! Big cheers 🥂... Pete.
Those old canvas tents are awesome! I have a Polish Lavvu that I like to use from time to time. I also have my Great Grandfathers 1945 WW2 US PUP tent! I still use that one too! That is always a place of solid reflection.
I bet those were some fun hunting trips! Good times! There is nothing quite like that first ceremonial meal with bacon and onions!!!! Rewarding on many levels! A happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Pete. Cheers my friend

The very first video I put out on the CZcams machine was a hot tent adventure in the mountains......in my Great grandfathers PUP tent!!! That was awesome! ....i'm going to go get you the link to it right now

*Good Review & Awesome Tent… ⛺️ What’s appealing the most, about this brand & model, are the variety of seemingly endless optional configurations… with it’s Summer & Winter Hot Tent capabilities..! It’s a win win all round..! As we say here in the UK. It’s the ‘Dog’s Bollocks’..!* 😆
The dogs bullocks! Hahahahaha! I love it!
This is one fantastic tent. It is by far my favorite lightweight, solo hot tent I have ever used. Extremely versatile. I love it in the winter and it is a favorite of mine for canoe camping. Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy New Year to you
So good, I bought one here in the UK! I love it and with my Winnerwell Fast Fold titanium stove it is an epic combo. (Mine is in the brown colour). It is a perfect solo Hot Tent for all year round use. As a canoe tripping tent, it is almost unbeatable as it offers all those easy configurations shown in your video and so is ideal as a lunch time quick set up tarp like shelter (much faster to set up than a tarp and works without the need for ridge lines or extra trees to tie off to etc.) or the more fixed base overnight camp tent, with or without the inner. I even have a lightweight cot bed for truck camping which can easily fit inside and works so well with the stove in the cold, allowing me to sleep a few critical inches off the ground in real comfort and piping hot all night.....as long as I have enough prepped wood and can add a few logs during the night! I also have a small packable chair which just fits and allows me to sit comfortably by the stove. Nothing like the sound of rain or snow on the outside while cooking and snugging down in the warmth inside. If you want to cut down on weight when Bushcrafting, or hiking in to a location, then leave the pole at home and cut one to length when you arrive in the woods. I always place a protective cap over any pole I use to relive stress to the fabric at the top. A half tennis ball works well or you can purchase bespoke plastic 'mushroom' caps to go with the Luxe poles. Failing that, wrap a scarf or something soft over the end of the pole. (Watch for moisture transfer in heavy weather, if using fabric though).
If you are considering this, I would seriously recommend it as a great option. For reference, I am 6Ft 2in tall and have a bad back and bad knees....this tent works well for me.
100% agreed! I love mine for canoe camping ! It's perfect for it. I have a small cot I use in mine sometimes as well! Can't go wrong. A packable chair too! This is a great year round tent. I have used wooden poles many times, but I feel the pole is worth the weight. All depends on the mission at hand.
Thanks for the awesome comment! I hope you have many a great many adventures with yours! Happy camping ! Cheers Justin
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks Justin. Stay Safe out there and have a load of fun.

Maybe somebody mentioned it already:
• using zippers by forcing them open or closed like you do, without paying attention to closing the two sides first before using the slider, will wear your zippers out.
● rolling the door panels to the inside will keep the doors cleaner and dryer.
Thank you for the review,
Huck
A good suggestion. I have yet to wear out a zipper on a tent though. And I have some old tents that are well used.
You are absolutely correct about rolling the panels. Being it was a review, I wasn't overly concerned about it. Didn't really put much thought into that. I should pay a bit more attention to details like that. Good eye and catch on your part. I believe you are the first to mention it.
I don't know what you mean by rolling to the inside. Surely the clips fasten the doors in place whichever way they are rolled?
You're a lifesaver. I had a link to this tent saved but lost it somehow and couldn't remember the name. Glad to see its good quality!
I think this is a great tent, for the price it's an awesome tent! I love mine.
That is a slick tent man. Regular cozy cabin with that stove up in it. first class editing brother, that looked very professional.
I really like this tent set up. It is awesome! Extremely versatile. It has served me well, and I am sure it will continue to do so.
Thanks for the feedback on the editing bud. This was actually a lot of fun for me to put together. It was a good project. This was the first gear review I have done that I really enjoyed making.
I love my minipeak xl.....i had it up in bwca in late Oct 2020. I also have the rocket xl and the octopeak tipi from luxe. Can't go wrong for the money compared to other brands.
I agree. They make great tents! I have the Rocket, Octopeak and megahorn as well. I like them all.
By far the best Luxe tent review out there. Thanks 🤟
I appreciate that. Thank you very much
Thanks for a great video, I recently purchased this tent so good to see all the possible options….. thanks a million !
You can never have enough dog love !
Dogs!!!! This is a fantastic tent. I am sure it will serve you well. Happy hot tenting!
Thoroughly enjoyable review. Thanks, this solves my (hot) tent problem.
Glad you found the video useful! Thank you
Hello my friend, I like this review style. Great video. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Thank you! I am glad you like it, This was fun to do. Keep on keepin' on my friend
Two people and a wood stove works fine. My son and I go camping with this tent. We both fit in the inner tent together with no problems.
Yep. It is a very versatile tent. I am glad to hear you two enjoy it
Wow. Probably the most awesome tent I have ever seen. And what a great presentation. The company should give you one after seeing this video. I'd definitely buy one of these if I could afford it. Great job.
It really is a cool tent! I love this thing! It has served me well. That would be great if they hooked me up with some gear, for some reason, I just don't see that happening. Who knows what the future will bring....Thanks for stopping by Erobin. Cheers
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Well, in the event they send you another, you know my address ! What ? What do you mean ? I don’t understand ? Lol
@@MeetMeOutside LOL
Great review! Definitely looking forward to your thoughts on the Megahorn.
I have already had several outings in it. So far it is great. Currently I have had no issues and everything is as it should be. I know there is a lot of negative reviews and opinions about Luxe. I have had nothing but good luck with their products. Thankfully I have never had to use their customer service.
At the price point, I don't expect Seek Outside quality. I am fine with that. In my experience with their gear, it's a good product for the price. Well worth the money so far.
Wow dude... This is how a you tube video review should be done!! I didn't have to fast forward one time! Great job on a review of some great gear. Thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate that! Thank you very much. I am glad you liked it, thanks for letting me know. More reviews on more tents coming!
Great review. Love the isa brown photo bomb🤙🏕
They are good at photobombing !LOL
Great review. I started with the MiniPeak II and moved up to the MiniPeak XL a year ago. It is my favorite tent.
Nice man! It's an awesome tent. One of my favorites as well. Happy tenting!!
EXCELENT REVIEW! You can interrupt for dogs and chickens anytime. You started well with the specs, then the basic tent, then the important extras. Did the stove shown come from the same company? You also answered a question about the stove sleeve I had. The cut may be ragged, but it is heatproof. The rusty stove pipe on another was the cause for suspicion. Your detail explanations of how all the extras attach and work was greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the great feedback. We love our animals around here! The stove is made by a different company. This is a Seek Outside Titanium stove. It is awesome! I am glad you liked the video. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Justin
What a great review Justin! Very informative and key points are displayed
Thank you Dave !
Howdy Justin. Thank you for your fine work in this format! FYI: After viewing your video here, I bought the Luxe Minipeak XL. I just love it and used it in some snowy weather in Colorado hunting seasons this past fall. It is a great complement to my Seek Outside, 4 person Tipi with liner. I just used Seek Outside's Large Titanium Wood Stove(and stove pipe) in the Luxe Minipeak XL and all was great. Thanks again and keep 'er going.
That is a couple nice tents you have! Awesome set up. I bet running a tarp between the two of them would make for an awesome place to stay for a while. I have my eye on that 4 man. How much bigger is it than the Minipeak xl?
Howdy. The Lux Minipeak XL will hold 2 people with gear if their gear isn't too much. The Seek Outside, 4 person Tipi will hold 3 men with gear. These are all based on having a stove in place.
@@daddysbees3698 I would personally not want to have 2 people and a stove in the minipeakxl. That would be a tight fit. Absolutely could be done. But I wouldn't want to
Great video man. Thanks for the indepth, detailed, information. I am definitely purchasing one of these very soon haha.
This is a very good tent system. Hard to beat for the price. It has served me well on many adventures. Thank you for watching
Extremely good review. Very helpful! Thank you.
This is a nice tent. Don't buy one from luxe hiking gear though. A good chance you may never get it
This is the review i needed to see! Great breakdown of the gear, definitely getting one asap
This tent is currently on sale!!! Best price I have ever seen it at. Get one quick there's only 8 in stock.
Definitely kills the pomoly chalet 70! Lol...
Still a bit small for me, because I need to be able to stand up. These smaller tents kill my knees man.
But this tent is well-made! If they made a six man which I'm not sure if they do but I would probably be interested in that over the Pomoly Manta... So many choices! LOL. Thanks for the review Justin.
That chalet doesn't stand a chance against this tent. I have told luxe they should build a larger one just like this. No response. lol. They do make some bigger tents though. The Megahorn is fairly large. The Megahorn XL is huge!!! Worth looking into.
Excellent, and enjoyable. Thank you good man
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic review. Straight to the point.
Thank you very much ! I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know
Nice, thorough review. I must say, after witnessing the ease at which you were able to set up ,and break down the tent on our eight night Lows Lake canoe camping adventure, I am totally impressed ! I will be obtaining one of those for early spring, late fall canoe camping. I really like the versatility with the different pitch options. Great effort on this review Justin ! See you soon man ! Cheers !
Yes sir! It's so easy! Like my mom.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods What ? WTF ! 😂😂😂
@@MeetMeOutside BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Excellent review . Thanks from Ireland
Thank you
Awesome review and great video! Thanks. Just ordered one, looking forward to use it. 👌
Congratulations! That is an awesome tent.
I own the mega horn III and love it. Anything from Luxe is pretty solid in my book. I'm really wanting to try the rocket xl tarp.
I have had good luck with Luxe. For the money, it's a good product. That rocket tarp is pretty cool
Very well done review, thank you.
Thank you. Unfortunately, LHG is ripping a lot of people off, and they have an F rating on the BBB. I highly recommend not buying from them.
I am looking at the minipeak and this video was super helpful. Thx!
It is an awesome tent ! One of my favorites Thank you for checking out the video !
Been looking at getting one of these and your review was awesome! really detailed and great camera work and sound. Thannks for taking the time to make it. Cheers Mike
It is a great tent. But I wouldn't buy it from Luxe hiking gear. They have become increasingly sketchy over the last year or so
Siic.. ive been looking for the "perfect" tent. Great review.
for the money, it is one hell of a tent! I love mine.
Just received my mini peak xl and the 3m stove ..patiently waiting for cold weather 👍
Awesome! How long did it take to arrive?
@@ItsGoodintheWoods 4 days, probably set it up and do the burn in this weekend
I solo camp in a Megahorn lll with stove jack a winter inner tent and a Winnerwell Nomad medium cook stove. While I'm not making any long trekks with all this I do live large and in comfort on my outtings.
I've never put my loaded pack on a scale ( mostly out of fear ) lol but for me as long as im out of sound range of roads and other folks I'm far enough.
Enjoy yourself out there I know I do.
Looking forward to hearing your take on the Megahorn. PEACE!
I'm usually one to pack for a good time as well. I'm a pack mule, just like you !!! However, I have found myself getting into the lightweight game the last couple years. I may be a pack mule, but I am a gear junkie too! And I just can't get enough gear...........like the Megahorn for example. I didn't need it, but I wanted it. To be honest, I bought it because I have heard a lot of people speak ill about it. Being as happy as I am with the minipeak, I had to buy the Megahorn to see for myself..I have faith ..I have used it a few times now, so far so good. I like it. I'll be posting more about that soon.
Thanks for the comment David. Please keep me posted on your winter adventures in your Megahorn this winter. Happy hot tenting man !!! Cheers
Great review. Thanks!

Thank you!
This is a great set up.......however, there is an astonishing amount of people complaining about terrible warranty, return policies and customer service.
I have purchased 4 tents from them without issue. I have based their service on my experience with them. But there are far too many people complaining about their experience with the company for me to feel comfortable recommending their products to anyone anymore.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
Excellent review,I was teetering between getting this and I think you helped convince me ,thank you God bless
Thank you very much. This is an awesome tent set up
Pulled the trigger and purchased this tent today.
I hope they don't screw you over. This is one fantastic tent, but their business practices have become very questionable.
Man now I'm fckin nervous as hell!! Thanks Justin!! Lol.
On the quality end or business end?
@@mikeghost7788 The quality is there. Fantastic. Customer service sucks, and a lot of people have been waiting for long periods of time for their gear to arrive.
I know a few people that got their tents, but the pole never showed up. I need to make a video about this subject. I am going to keep my minipeak xl and the rocket xl. Awesome tents. But I wont purchase any more gear from luxe hiking gear. Won't be recommending them anymore either because I will feel terrible if someone buys one on my recommendation and then gets screwed.
Please keep me posted on your situation
@@mikeghost7788 how long did it take for your tent to arrive
Excellent. That review answers everything I was curious about.

This is a good little tent. Glad you found the video informative!
Awesome review bro. Your going to have a lot of fun in the woods with that. I hope to see it in person one day. 👍👍
I suspect that you will...........!
@@ItsGoodintheWoods 😁😁
Fun video, thxs. I gotta megahorn lll as well w that winter 1.5 inner. No stove yet.
How do you like the Megahorn so far?
@@ItsGoodintheWoods only one weekend, love it. Tip: Goal Zero’s ‘Crush Lamp’ lantern lights up the entire interior of the tent nicely.
I found the stakes to be junk. Bent right away tapping them into cold ground in Wisconsin. I replaced them all with stakes off Amazon and no issues.
Most tent stakes that come with tents these days are questionable.
Very nice, thank you.
Thank you David
Great review, thanks! These tents are fun.
Agreed! A real fun set up! I really enjoy it. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend
Great review
Thank you
A great review of that tent,and gotta love the cameo appearance of chicken. 😅
Crazy birds!! Lol ! I am glad you liked the video. Thank you
Awesome video thanks for this. About to get this for me and my daughter for winter
It should be just about perfect for the 2 of you. Just keep in mind it's not a huge tent.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I’m 5’10 and she’s only 7. We have a north face storm break tent that we use now for two people and it looks far smaller than this.
@@outdooroutpost6061 Awesome man. I'm sure you'll love it. Not the best tent in the world, but for the money it's a very good tent in my experience with it.
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Cool for the pole I could just use one of my trekking poles.
This tent is 5'2" at the peak. You will need 2 trekking poles with an adaptor to connect them. But the tent will not take a snow load like that. The weakest point in tents like this is the pole 99% of the time
Excellent review, just what I was looking for. I'm about to buy this tent soon, my only gripe with it is that it can't be configured to be bug proof for two people, since it's missing mesh door and mesh on the vents.
Luxe makes bug mesh inner tents for these tents. That may solve your problem.
These are pretty awesome tents!
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks, I didn't know that. Have to check them out!
Justin, that is one sweet tent,thanx for the video,and have a Happy Thanksgiving,cheers
I do like this tent! A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Eric! Thank you

@@danclements1990 With a well trained dog, it will work. It will be slightly tight. Don't expect a palace. I camp with my dog in this tent. I'm 5'7", she is 50lbs.

Great personal reviews and fresh weather and dog love. Brilliant channel.
Much appreciated! Thank you. DOGS!!!!
Great Review Man, Do you think two people about 5'7" could fit inside the 1.5 tub and then our stove of course outside of that. its my wife and I . its either that or going with the octopeak! Thanks again for the great review! We will be doing all backpacking with it so weight is a concern!
I would strongly recommend the Octopeak. The Minipeak XL is one of my favorite hot tents ever. But with a stove, it is a solo tent. There just isn't enough room to make it an efficient tent for 2 with a stove. You will have a ton more room with the Octopeak, and it's only 1.4 lbs heavier than the minipeak.
Thanks for video...mine is on its way...can't wait to use it this winter if its mild out and for sure it will be in my elk hunting pack next fall...North Western Alberta :)
That sounds awesome! An elk hunt is on my bucket list.....
Great, concise review! Whereabouts do you do most of your camping?
Thank you. I do the majority of my camping on the east coast. NH, VT, NY and Maine. The bulk of it in NH
Great breakdown. I've been looking at the Luxe products and they all look solid. I've been going back and forth on the Minipeak XL, Hexpeak XL or the Megahorn. Looking to use it primarily for hunting season and winter use. Any thoughts?
Nate
Hi Nate, I have had great luck with their products!
If you are just setting up a base camp close to a vehicle, I would get the Megahorn. A lot more room and head height. That is nice. However, It comes at a cost of weight. The whole set up is just a tad over 8 lbs. Thats without a stove. It's made of 68D Polyester, That is not ripstop...That could be bad out in the bush. Not a big deal if you are close to your vehicle. So far I really enjoy my Megahorn. For the price, what you get is a good sizeable tent. And it does everything it is supposed to. IMO.
If you are going to be doing some hiking with your tent, as hunters are known to do. I would strongly suggest one of the other 2 you are considering. They are much more packable.
I have the Minipeak XL and I love it. I picked the Minipeak over the Hexpeak for several reasons.
1,The Minipeakk is made of 68D ripstop Polyester. It's rugged. And Polyester does not stretch ( sil sag) when it gets wet. That is important to me way out in the mountains and wilderness.
The Hexpeak is made of 40D ripstop Silnylon. It is a lighter, larger tent than the Minipeak. And will take on sil sag when wet. Not a big deal, but just another thing to keep track of , monitor and adjust.
I take my tent way out into the wilderness, so I wanted the slightly heavier, more rugged material. The Minipeak XL.
2, The Minipeak can be set up with a minimum of 4 stakes. Very easily and fast. The Hexpeak needs 6. I enjoy the simplicity of the Minipeak, . However, there is more floor space In the Hexpeak........Pros and con either way.
The minipeakXL is more affordable than the HexpeakXL, so those of us on a budget find that appealing too.
I am sure the HexpeakXL is an awesome tent. I plan to get one someday. But I can not give you my assurance on that as I have no actual experience with one. Given my experiences with Luxe products, I'm sure it's a solid tent.
I love the MinipeakXL. It has been nothing but awesome for me.
I hope this helps a bit. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I'm happy to help as beat I can. Cheers!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks Justin for your thorough response. All good points and some things to think about for sure.
Thanks again
Nate
Great vid! It will be my next ⛺
Thank you. It is a great tent for the money. I think you'll like it!
That’s not how you cut out the stove jack sir. You just make 3-4 long cuts and stick the chimney through it from the inside. Not the outside! That makes it more rain proof and the material stands the direct contact to the chimney without any issues :)
This is how the stove jack comes from the factory
@@ItsGoodintheWoods really? That’s a bit silly. 😂
@@weisswurstfruhstuck8523 I have to say, the stove jack works well. I have had this thing in gnarly weather and it did it's job. The flap does a very good job of keeping the weather out. I really can't complain for the cost of the tent.
Great review!
Thank you sir!!
Incredible review! Love how to walked through the tent and modules! Looking forward to adding it to my kit.
I am glad you found the video useful ! These are really cool tent systems. I absolutely love mine.
I'm sure you will enjoy it. Thank you for watching
What a Awesome Review, I am Sold, but I Think I had Told you That I'm 6'3 I can't wait to see your Review on the MegaHorn. I am Definitely going to try to Save up for a Luxe Brand, But being on a Fixed Income, now After I got Hurt on my Job Site, My Money is alot Tighter, but I know that, Great Human beings like you and So many more Great people in the Community, will Give People like me a Hounest Review, to help us get the Best Experience. Great Job Brother 👏 Thank you Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick God Bless
Luxe makes a real good tent for the price. The Megahorn is a good tent.
you did a great job on this one as well man. really enjoy your videos you do a good job one question. I been looking at Luxe tents I bought there stove I saw you need to seem seal them is that true or did you have the factory do it?
Thank you man. I did it myself.....Its super easy and cheap. Here is how I seal all my tents now. Check it out, you may find this interesting. czcams.com/video/ooLwwUz-HKw/video.html&t
Hey Justin. I like your style. Can you share any teasers for a review of the Megahorn III? You made a larger tarp tent as well with a stove jack and similar capacity. Curious to get your recommendations for a hot tent setup that would comfortably fit 3. The Octopeak and Hercules (32lbs!?...pulk trips only) have caught my eye, too. Thank you!
I have been out in the Megahorn 5 times now. It is an awesome tent so far! I think it is too small for 3 people. 2 people and a stove , perfect.
I feel the same way about the Octopeak.They claim it is a 6 person tent....that is almost laughable........good luck with that. I bet it fits 2 people with a stove well. Maybe 3. The problem with that is a loss of head height. The Octopeak is just over 6' tall. For reference,The Megahorn is 7'2" , and I can just barely stand in it without my head touching the interior. I am 5'7". You lose head space fast in a teepee tent like these.
I would personally never buy a Hercules . If I ever buy a tent that heavy, it would be a canvas bell house or something of the sort.
Sold GOOD VIDEO

hi, thank you for all your quality videos!! great job!! I'm looking for a teepee tent with a wood stove. I'm going to cross Lapland this winter independently and alone. I'm looking for a tepee tent with space, robust and as light as possible (that's a lot I know haha) which model do you recommend? pomoly? outdoor luxury? something else ? thank you in advance for your feedback 🙏🏼🙂
Sounds like you have quite the adventure coming up. There are so many options out there now. It is hard for me to recommend a specific tent because we all want different things out of a tent. What works for me may not for you. Budgets, outlook on space, and things of that nature. The Minipeak xl is a great tent. And affordable. You can get them right now from Three ridges gear company. Can't beat it for the price.
Want a slightly bigger lighter tent. Check out Seek Outside. I have the Cimmaron. They make fantastic gear. That comes at a premium. Not cheap. There are a lot of options out there. You just have to look around. Do your research and find what you think best suits your needs. I hope this helps you in your quest.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods thank you so much for your answer!!! I hesitate between the mega Horn 3 (less water resistant and no rip stop), the octopeak (problem of condensation and only one door) and the hussar plus (no integrated mosquito net and the opening for the pan too small)... and what do you think of the onetigris teepees? regarding the cimmaron, a little too expensive for me
@@simonhigelin6871 I have no experience with one tigris so I can't really say.I do have experience with all three of the tents you mentioned...If I had to choose one of them, it would be the Hussar plus.
Great review! I've been on the fence about this hot tent setup as I've never done the hot tent thing before. A couple of questions;
1. I am 6' tall; is the inner tent spacious enough so I wouldn't have my head and feet up against the wall?
2. I'm looking at their 3W stove to go with the tent, can you keep the little stoves full without embers falling on the tent?
I think 6' is right on the limit....I really don't know. It could be just right, or it could be just enough to be wrong. I'm sorry for the vague response.
I don't have the 3W , so I can't speak for it. However, I can say I have never had an issue with my setup.
I used this tent with a 3W titanium stove last week. Yes sometimes the amber will come out of the chimney and fall on the tent, it will burn a hole through it. However, it's really rare and you can patch the small hole with nylon adhesive quickly. Despite all the good stuff reviewed in this video, there are a few things I don't like about this tent and the 3w stove:
1. sometimes it's hard to keep the plastic hooks attached to the fabric loops, they tend to come loose and fall out of the loops.
2. there are no attach points along the zipper line for the inner tent, so the sides will sag, which is not good for your headroom.
3. the top vents are kind of small due to the short length of the props. Maybe it's just for the tent I received.
4. it will take a while to assemble the 3w stove due to the parts involved and severe warp after first use.
5. the top plate of the 3w stove warps a lot. they use to have solid reinforce strips (1 or 2) along the width but they now only use a shallow stamping to create a little bit of indentation near the chimney. It's not a problem if you only use the stovetop for boiling water but could be troublesome for proper cooking. (I would recommend Pomoly T1 if you don't mind the extra weight)
@@joelin1596 I was very suspect of the 3w stove. Thats why I didn't get it. I went with Seek Outside because I wanted a light stove. Its a lot lighter than the T1 .
I have never had an issue with the loops and plastic clips. I have now had this tent for a year , not once has a loop and clip let go. And I have used this tent a lot. I find it interesting that yours does that. I wonder if the loops are longer on yours.....
The clip for the inner is a good idea. But I tend to not use the inner. I used it once, the first time I set the tent up. So that is not really an issue for me. I'm sure it would be quite easy to fashion one.
I would be very interested to hear more about your experience with the stove .....I have a friend that is considering buying one......
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I didn't like the flute connection at the top of firebox, it seems to be flimsy especially for keeping the spark arrestor tight against the pipe. www.amazon.ca/dp/B0834B1C3N/?coliid=I2GQSZUVHDJYJU&colid=2WW7FEIN6MDKB&psc=0 the link shows a similar stove but with a better design as it combines the choke and spark arrestor.
I used some stainless steel rivets for the 4 holes at the bottom of the firebox to keep supporting rods centered. I also bought a firebox top plate and use that as a base place otherwise it's hard to keep the stove from sinking into the snow with just the 4 rods.
I wish I could someday post a video for an in-depth review of the 3W titanium stove.
seek outside is probably the lightest choice on the market but for me, around 4 lbs is not bad as we regularly pull a pulk sled when winter camping. I'm in Ontario and you know how many lakes we have!
Great review, love the channel!.
As for a winter hot tent, for the money, do you prefer this or the one you made yourself?
That is a tough question.....I guess it really depends on what i am doing. Car camping, homemade tent. Camping close to home, homemade hot tent (sometimes) Hauling my gear for miles, the Luxe wins. Camping with friends and family, Homemade hot tent. Camping by myself, Luxe.
The homemade tent is huge! A lot of space. However, it's heavy at 11 lbs. It is also a bit of a pain to set up because it requires 16 stakes. That part sucks.
They both have their pros and cons for sure. Your question has given me a good idea for a video........
@@ItsGoodintheWoods eagerly awaiting that video as well
Keep up the good work. Thanks for the reply!
Great review!! 1 Question! can the inner tent stay attached to the outer tent at all times? so you dont have to attach it after setting up the tent. I am often only 1 night in the same place.
You can, but I believe it may be more trouble than it is worth. This is a great tent, unfortunately, don't buy it from Luxe hiking gear. Buy it from another distributor if you can. Luxe hiking gear has been ripping a lot of people off. They have an F rating on the BBB
I just ordered this tent due to your review. I have the megahorn already but I wanted something a bit more backpack friendly. Thanks for the vid
I suspect that you will like this tent. I absolutely love mine. Just got back from a 3 day canoe trip, I used the Minipeak XL.
The Megahorn is pretty slick as well. Luxe makes good tents.
I am glad the video helped you out! Please keep me posted on what you think about the Minipeak XL. Happy camping season !
@@ItsGoodintheWoods 🤟Will do!
The center pole as an option doesn’t seem right. I ordered the tent, then I saw your video. I would have been very disappointed not to receive the pole. I’ll order it separately. It is clearly stated in the website, but I missed it. Thanks for the heads up m
I am glad that the video came in useful for you. That is what this is all about! I agree, it doesn't seem right at all. You will be paying for shipping, so, you might as well buy the bathtub floor while you are at it. lol This is a great tent system. I really enjoy mine. I hope you like yours. Enjoy that tent sir
I’m sure, that I shall.
Thanks for the great review man! Did you seam seal the tent or is there no need to?
Thank you. I did seal it. It does not come sealed from the factory
salut, merci pour toutes tes vidéos qualitative !! super boulot!! je cherche une tente tipi avec un poele à bois. je pars traverser la Laponie cet hiver en autonomie et seule. je cherche une tente tipi avec de la place, robuste et la plus légère possible ( ca fait beaucoup je sais haha) quel modèle me conseilles tu ? pomoly ? luxe outdoor ? autre chose ? merci d'avance pour ton retour 🙏🏼🙂
Hi, very thorough review. What do you think of the zippers on the tent and the inner ? Many thanks
Thank you. I have yet to have an issue with the zippers. They seem fine so far!
Great review. Without snow flaps do you have wind rushing in at the base of the walls? Thanks!
Not really. Never been an issue. In the winter I pack down the snow base , and snow usually fills the gaps anyway.
