- Holy cow, I am so amazed with how resilient this Kodiak Lodge Cabin tent is! This was quite the experience and I felt like I got there just in the nick of time!

Tent isn't really that bad! Get the snow off & tighten up your lines & done. Easy peasy lemon squeezy
A plastic roof rake would have cleared that snow in 5 minutes👍
A nice big squeegee
I think I would build a shelter roof thing that would cover my tent if I’m camping in a wet snowy or in a rainy conditions long term.
Ya, that's called a house, not a tent! 😆
@@Ranger_k16 well you got a point but I was talking about keeping the weather & the sun off the tent because all that will destroy a tent in no time.
@@kylew4920 ya I know what you meant, but couldn't resist the temptation to make a joke
Is this your first time watching one of his videos? Spoiler alert: He isn't very bright.
@@Steve-dy1wf I’ve been watching for maybe over a year. Maybe a half a year before he hooked up with Julie?
He had me scratching my head a couple times 😆. But his videos are fun to watch though. I can tell he’s losing his mind from all that solitude.
And that’s why offset rims with tires that stick out past the fenders suck.
Tightening those guy lines would have helped significantly I’m sure
At some point you may want to consider building a simple, yet sturdy pergola type structure over the tent. Something with corrugated roof panels that would shed the snow and keep it off the tent. Just an idea for the future
I would love to live out there
Those tents are made for that
Flagstaff can get as much as four feet of snow. My wife and I drove out to Flagstaff in 1997. We kept noticing huge piles of snow on large vacant lots. Finally we got into a conversation with a Navajo man that worked in Flagstaff. He said a snow front came in and circled the mountain there. It dumped snow for 17 straight hours. When it was over people had to drop out of windows. They took almost a week for the town to open up completely. It can snow insane amounts out there occasionally. Glad everything was okay after you dug out. Take care my friend. Vaughn
YOU'LL HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE ROPES UP --- IT WILL PULL THE CANVAS TIGHT
It's fine man
Your vehicle is awesome as it made the trek up the mountain in those conditions looks much easier than it probably was!
To tell you the truth
Your very entertaining. Loved your video enjoyed it made me laugh. Thank you. You did a great job 👏🏽
Be careful with pine. It gets too hot if you are not careful
You should get yourself a roof rake, it's specifically designed to reach to the top and pull the snow down.
oh no, the good snacks! lol
CZcams totally stopped pushing your videos for some reason.. I stopped seeing them on my feed months ago. Today I was like, wonder wth happened?
Tent will go back to normal with wood stove heat. Those tents are absolute units. You’re still learning. Don’t beat yourself up too much bud.
Your truck looks crazy cool! But, I didn't think you drove through a blizzard 🤔
If Shaggy and Scooby had their own show. 😂
OMG, I hurt my pinky, now my tent is sagging.
Love your videos bro and love your personality your such a vibe been watching for a while keep grinding brother 💯
Go inside push up snow slides off, it's not that hard or big off a deal...
Gotta use a snow fly so the snow will not build up on the roof. Those tents are awesome though!
I've said it before... but tipis and yurts are designed for both high winds and snow...
Maybe a little too granola for your style. lol
In any case, an internal 2*4 frame structure will be 100% more storm worthy than merely pole end supports and tensioned rope pull outs.
Just so you know Juniper is quite a bit harder of a wood than pine is by about 70% roughly. Pain may burn hotter because of the Sap. and just a sidenote, you may want to think about a spark arrestor of some sort, your smokestack.
But then there wouldn't be a future video titled, "camping fail, I burned down my tent, AND the forest"
Lesson learned and noted
awesome dude! great video content! i love to sometimes watch winter campers and how they do it.
Weather sure can do some crazy stuff! Adventure daily living off grid life. Thanks for sharing the video.
All that snow makes me glad I'm from warm Texas.
YA!!!! THAT SNOT SLUSH IS THE WORST!!. FIRE UP THAT FIRE MOBBLER!
Looks more like a Baby Ruth to me.
Ketchup chips ARE the good snacks!!!
I need to know if you got to the good snacks!😂😂
You need an extension Pole like they use on roofs to get the snow off... Totally helps and you pull it back to you... It takes the snow off so easily... But yeah man you totally sunk that roof down
Only you bro!!!! 😄
what kind of mattress were u taking to the snow camp?
Hello Phil η σκηνή σου είναι πολύ δυνατή αντέχει μπράβο πιστεύω πως θα την φτιάξεις πάλι όμορφη 😘😘😘
Hi nice video can you leave the link for the tent and the stove thanks
Wow
Dad’s house is a 1/4 mile away, relax ! Mom’s got the cookies in the oven ! !
It's amazing when people speak of things they have no idea about
His parents live in Phoenix, wanker.
that pillow log lol
dont worry man this is the only year northern az had so much snow in years
Look, look, LOOK, I live in northern Minnesota, what do want me to look at? Lol
Build an internal frame if you'll be leaving it alone long enough for snow to accumulate like that.
So my Sibley canvas tent can hold about a 20 degree difference. What does yours hold? We put it out in o-10 degree weather and it stayed in the 30's inside. Note-ran out of wood for the wood stove too.
outstanding❗❗💯🏆
wooohooo!
A few more inches and it would have collapsed
Should seriously consider changing the channel name to "down2fail"
Build a wood frame inside of the tent
Hope you learned your lesson. Cannot be too laxed in the winter with a tent in heavy snow. Happy trails. Very nice setup.
B4 u left what was the weather forecast for those next several days
F in crazy !!!!!!!!!
What is that little fan on top of your wood stove?
It runs off the heat from the stove to distribute the heat more evenly throughout the tent.
So many giggitys in this vid
A tent with a slope like that is no bueno. Sort of a field tent. I would not leave it set up when gone. Thats a bummer however. I bet something with a different pitch would be fine. As for the wood...if staying up with wood processing is hard, time-wise or finger-wise, there are pretty cheap hydrolic and more expensive electric wood splitters that make life easy. That and a chainsaw (even a battery powered chainsaw) and your golden. I personally just baton wood, but I am not set up in a semi-permanent camp like you are.
Lol…maybe put up a yurt next winter.
Didn't you have an A frame trailer?
I am glad the tent could handle the snow load and did not tear. Reccomend a a snow rake to help remove the snow. Also if it is light snow, try a leaf blower.
Why does he think he messed up the tent, I mean you are just using it, not your fault.
What elevation is your property at?
Not a hater here from California but the drama here is just stupid you should call your dad to help fund a recovery rescue.
And have him explain to you you're not cut out to be living in a truck camper.... he probably funds your project because you won't leave home... which I agree with 100%.... okay okay okay now I'm ready for the responses from the people that like to watch and learn from the DRAMA....LOL
Am I down to mob? In that? I can honestly say..... nope. Lol
Take a tree branch tourd
you should've waited for global warming to melt the snow off the tent
You are crying like a baby
Doooood,I know. You got to get in touch with some of those hot chicks with CZcams channels, and invite them up to do a video. Should boost both of your channels. Might have to bathe or something, but should be an interesting video. Tell her to bring some groceries...
