I'm glad you clarified at the end this is a backpacking setup. And I see a comment/response regarding the stove. I do not dare show this to my wife as she is a Michigsn snow bunny and has been looking for yurt's to rent. Great subject and thanks for sharing!
For what you'd spend on a yurt for say a week you can purchase the combo tent, stove, and stove pipe. But I get it, but also it's hard to pack up a yurt unless you have alpacas or sherpas.
I love the winter and the idea of camping in it, especially here on the Wasatch Front. I just have to build up the gear to make it possible. Awesome video.
Hello Devin, thank you for sharing another fine video. With the winter snows, you're going to enjoy the tent and stove. Take care, be safe warm and healthy. 🤗🤗
If you come across any tips on how to let the heat last longer in those ultralight stoves, you should do a video on it. I wish the heat lasted longer when going to bed, but you either have to stoke up the fire really strong and it gets unbearably hot, or the heat fizzles out in 15 minutes. I know traditional stoves have all that thermal mass so I've thought about piling stones underneath or on top but I don't think it would work very well. Let me know if you have any ideas.
@@gearjunkie3412 This. I’ll wake up every now and then to stoke the fire but with the right sleeping system you pretty much don’t need the fire to burn hot all night.
A hot tent isn't going to stay hot all night, it isn't made to. It's made to get warm and out of the cold/snow, get into bed warm and have the proper sleep system to keep you warm through the night. To get a stove beefy enough that would radiate heat for even 4 hours after the fire died you'd prob be looking at over 20lbs, not very back pack friendly. The rock idea isn't a bad one at all, rocks will hold heat well and the bigger they are the better they radiate, I'd try on the ground before on top though just incase.
@@BackcountryExposure Yeah, I figured the lack of height, and the wide base wouldn't do all that well in snow. But the weight and packability is real good, given the price point. For my solo trips I usually use the Minipeak XL.....but the space of the octopeak has got to be nice I really like Luxe products. I have had very good luck with mine
I wanted to love my Luxe tent, but sadly after day four the sidwall ripped(normal cond).Company did nothing, said I set it up wrong? Look for ripstop fabric, not the 68d polyester they use and a Company that stands behind their product.
@@BackcountryExposure Thank you, I was wondering about the low temperatures in the tent at night. Majority of the CO detectors are working between 5 to 100 Celcius degrees... have a nice day, Sebastien
I bought a luxe tent and I was very disappointed. All the stakes bent easily on first time use. Straps broke on first set up also. Would be so bad if they didn't charge ridiculous amounts of money. Just some cheap Chinese tent I could have got for half the price without the luxe name. But love your video. Love that wood stove. I have a winnerwell nomad and it is very heavy.
Run back a ways through my channel and I’ve got an older video that shows this. But the stove pipe rolls length wise when it’s put in use on the stove. In storage, you roll the pipe on the short side. So it’s pretty small.
Trying to decide between the Minipeak XL or waiting for the Octopeak. Do you think 2 people could chill in helinox chairs with a stove in the Minipeak XL...of course without a sleeping pad being set up.
Ok, please don't judge me, but I have a random question: if you're hot tent camping solo & you suddenly have to drop a load, do you dig a cat hole right there in your tent? I mean, you're just gonna cover it up when you fill the hole back in, right? I haven't had this problem yet, but I'm the queen of tummy troubles, so I'm kind of thinking about how I'd handle it. Anybody want to comment? Have any of you had to deal with this before? Am I gross for even considering it? (Please be kind).
Not as weird as you might think. But no I wouldn’t ever poop in a hole in my tent. I’d suggest carrying a couple wag bags and use those if you’re unwilling to leave your tent.
Tub floor just helps contain things a little better and I've found with this setup, it keeps it a bit cleaner inside. It also helps it not move around as much. But I've used just a tyvek floor plenty of times.
That is a really cool setup. How heavy is it to carry the tent, stove and tools out... I guess what I’m curious about is your pack weight? Thanks for the video
For this trip I was just over 32 pounds. The stove is about 4 pounds, the tent 3 pounds and the tools/accessories are another 2-3 pounds. So yes, it’s heavier, but not doing big miles.
@@BackcountryExposure thanks for the quick reply. I’m asking about weight because I have to keep tabs for a previous legs injury. Very interesting and seems a reasonable weight 👍
@@BackcountryExposure thank you for the answer 😊 ahw, sadly it wont last the whole night then 😔 i hoped this could keep me warm all night while sleeping
- I just watched a review of a Pomoly stove and this man burnt two approximately 3 inch diameter pieces of oak that wasn't split. They were pieces of a full diameter branch, it might have been a small saplings trunk. He had the flu damper turned down quite a bit and the front air intake was cut to about 2/3 or slightly less. He put them on a bed of broken down coals that glowed brightly but had no flames. Those 2 pieces kept that tent warm for 8 hours. When he woke up it was still going. Are you sure you were burning the wood efeciently? Whole, unsplit wood definitely burns way longer. I had something written here that I took away. I edited it out. My eyes are out of focus because I'm tired and old. I was wrong, it said most of your wood was split. I think I better go to bed.
How tall or long is your stove pipe? I've got a 9 foot rollable stove pipe which is a total pain. I'm thinking of cutting it in half to 4.5 feet tall. Add ten inches to that for the height of the stove and I'm thinking it will be tall enough and provide enough clearance for a tipi tent. What are your thoughts?
It’s pretty safe. Still recommended to have a carbon monoxide detector with you. These stoves don’t burn for very long since the firebox is so small. So it’s better to just have a proper sleep system for the weather and get the sleep you need and let the stove burn out, and just start it again in the morning.
What a cozy setup. It would be fun to stay in that a few days in the snow.
So cozy!
True

I've known what a hot tent is for about 7 minutes now. This is amazing.

Awesome video.
Get out there! Thanks!
Hello Devin, thank you for sharing another fine video. With the winter snows, you're going to enjoy the tent and stove. Take care, be safe warm and healthy. 🤗🤗
Yep! Hot tents are cool!
Awesome Devon! I've been looking at putting together a hot tent set-up and this is a really great weight class.
Man that hot tent in the snow looks awesome! So much room in there! Would be fun to try one of those some time.
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
Hello Devan, nice explanation of your hot tent set up. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Thanks!
Tent looks awesome 👌 keeping warm oh yeah

Not trying to be a wise guy. But if you have the right sleeping gear. You really shouldn't need a fire while your sleeping.
a pot of water on top could do it, water has a ton of thermal mass.

Nice set up Devin! That tent is epic. You’re all set up for the winner for sure
Awesome video Devin! I can’t wait to see more of your winter adventures.
Hoping to make it happen more this year.
This is Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Big Like + new friend. Have a nice weekend!
That Octopeak is a nice tent
lots of room. I wish I had bought that instead of the Megahorn. I like the Megahorn, but I think I would like that one better.
To put into your pack, the Octopeak wins. I like the vertical height on the Megahorn more, but for a solo user the Octopeak is pretty amazing.
@@BackcountryExposure Yeah, I figured the lack of height, and the wide base wouldn't do all that well in snow. But the weight and packability is real good, given the price point.

I just got that single person tub floor! !

Luxe has the worst service in the game
Looking at hot tents. How comfortably does this fit 2p with stove? Thank you
That is so cool... and cozy. So all that breaks down small enough to backpack with?
Would the heat from the tent bring out the bugs from the wood inside the tent?
Can I use this stove in a space like my van as well?
I see u use no flashkit for the flue
Love it
Nice set up! Which kind of CO detector do you use at night?
Thanks. I just found whatever was available and battery powered on Amazon.
@@BackcountryExposure Thank you, I was wondering about the low temperatures in the tent at night. Majority of the CO detectors are working between 5 to 100 Celcius degrees... have a nice day, Sebastien
Once the stove is primed how long can you run the stove with minimal vents settings before you have to reload?
Nice tent
Thanks 👍

Just some cheap Chinese tent I could have got for half the price without the luxe name. But love your video. Love that wood stove. I have a winnerwell nomad and it is very heavy.
Can you show how you get that all into your backpack? I'm interested in the stovepipe especially. Thank you!

What's the black "box" ur sleeping pad is in

@@BackcountryExposure I haven't tried wag bags yet, but this would be the time to learn to use them! Thanks.
Do you burn the stove all night
Looks nice and toasty. I guess that takes away your ultralightness
Ha ha, I guess. :)
Hi Devon. How do you like the Knifepointgear Saw? I couldn’t find a single review on CZcams.
Do you ever sell off your older gear? I need to get into winter camping more I just can’t afford way more gear
If you’re on Instagram, shoot me a message. Happy to chat and help figure out ideas/options for you.
Really love this type of setup and wanna try hot tent camping. Any particular reason choosing a bath tub floor over a piece of Tyvek ?
Tub floor just helps contain things a little better and I've found with this setup, it keeps it a bit cleaner inside. It also helps it not move around as much. But I've used just a tyvek floor plenty of times.
Any comments would be appreciated
Also what's the name of that saw and where can I get one like that and how much does it cost
Exactly right 100% need multiple heat sources haha another excellent review man I need to get that UL saw super sweet!!(=✌💚
You need a full body hot water bottle... Keeps you warm for 8 hours
What size chimney pipe did you choose for your stove?
That is a really cool setup.
How heavy is it to carry the tent, stove and tools out... I guess what I’m curious about is your pack weight?
Thanks for the video

does the tent come with that hole for the pipe standard?
What was the weight of the tepee tent?
Is there a hot tent that would be good for two people that allows decent amount room?
This same setup allows for space for two with the stove and gear.
What is the WIDTH of ugq quilt
where are you? in CA we don't get a lot chance using a hot tent. I love the idea though
Northern Utah :)
thanks
Hey Devin! What kind of saw is that? Do you recommend it?
Yeah! What is that saw? I need one!
Me too
Looks like he attached a Diablo blade to a pipe
How heavy is your pack?
How long does the stove burn before you need to put extra wood in? Also, do you feel a noticeable temperature difference in the tent?
1-2 hours. So much depends on the type of wood and size. Yes, big difference in temperature.
@@BackcountryExposure thank you for the answer 😊 ahw, sadly it wont last the whole night then 😔 i hoped this could keep me warm all night while sleeping

Add ten inches to that for the height of the stove and I'm thinking it will be tall enough and provide enough clearance for a tipi tent. What are your thoughts?
Your pipe should be at least 12”-18” above the peak of the tent. So whatever tent you have, just cut your pipe so it’s 12”-18” taller.
@@BackcountryExposure same applies if your flue has a spark arrestor cap?
How safe is it to burn the stove all night ?
It’s pretty safe. Still recommended to have a carbon monoxide detector with you. These stoves don’t burn for very long since the firebox is so small. So it’s better to just have a proper sleep system for the weather and get the sleep you need and let the stove burn out, and just start it again in the morning.
How do you carry the stove and pipe?
It breaks down flat and the chimney pipe rolls into a nice tight roll that packs into the bag. So it's really easy to pack into your backpack.
Where can I get a tent like that and how much does it cost
what name compagny tent
luxe tent
Octopeak. Link is in video description
Grand sport brook.. how dare you.
Stand up he says when he clearly can't
No thank you
