Winter Lavvu Hot Tent Camping in the Rain - Bushcraft / Military Surplus Gear & Gstove Cooking
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 07. 2024
- Join me on my first hot tent camp of winter in the Polish Lavvu. For this trip, I use my winter bushcraft gear. A waxed canvas military surplus tent, canvas pack, and wood stove. Nothing about this gear is light, but it will last a lifetime. Luckily the trek to camp was relatively short. Once I find a suitable spot to pitch the tent, it’s business as usual. Wood prep, good food, a couple drinks and off to bed. It wasn’t suppose to rain, but starting around 6pm it rained off and on throughout the evening but I stayed comfortable as usual in the always reliable lavvu. The combination of rain falling on canvas and the crackle of the fire was a nice combination of sounds for the evening (could’ve gone without the muntjacs barking all night though). Anyways, I had a great time and I hope you enjoy watching. If you have any questions or would just like to say hi. Feel free to leave a comment below. Thanks for watching and hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

I'm loving this camp. I could fall asleep listening. So peaceful.
Rain falling on canvas with the crackle of the fire in the stoves is a really nice combination 👍
Pheasant are forever scaring the Bejaesus out of me too, the stealthy buggers! That dinner had me worried there for a minute, with the sheer amount of garlic early on, but all made perfect sense in the end - mouthwatering. I've not ever seen a lavu up close but I Imagine some sort of old fashioned paraffin/beeswax type treatment working with them for waterproofing? Would be a HECK of a lot of work though. A vat of melted Fjallraven Greenland Wax, applied with a broad paintbrush? 😀 That was a very entertaining hour, and may well have converted this hot tent sceptic. Brilliant vid, thanks for all the love that has gone into it. 👍 Rich
Yeah that pheasant about gave me a heart attack! Usually I use that amount of garlic for 4 salmon slices in the pan, but I really like garlic so I just went for it! It’s a tasty way to prepare salmon! From what I’ve read about the Polish Lavvu’s, the tight weave of the material and how it is sewn gives the material it’s water proofing. After I got home I looked up what I used previously to help add some water resistance. I sprayed Nikwax on it a couple years ago and it’s been doing a great job ever since. It’s not light but I really really like the shelter and it’s kept me dry every time I’ve spent the night in it. And it always seems to rain all night when I choose to go out in it! I definitely think you should give hot tenting a try. There are way more tent and stove options nowadays! Much easier to give it a go! Thanks for watching and the wonderful comments as always. Have a great New Year Rich! All the best!
I suspect that was a fox.They do have one of natures more jarring yells.Earplugs essential .
Last time it was the best looking Philly cheesesteaks I had ever seen, now your cooking so amazing looking creamy tomato salmon! Putting my kitchen cooking to shame In a tent on a wood stove! Love that your talking to the camera more too. Great video!
Thanks, glad you are enjoying the cooking! Yeah I need a name for that salmon dish. No idea what to call it, but it is really good! You should try making it at home! Thanks for the feedback. It was a long time to be stuck in a tent and I think I may have talked a bit too much in this video though. I’m excited for the days to start getting a bit longer now that we’re past the winter solstice! Have a great New Year!
That looks realy good for a nice warm cosy night 🙂🙂🙂
This stove is a bit heavy to carry but I really enjoy a cozy night in a hot tent! Thanks for watching!
I really like using a 45 degree so that the spark arrester is away from the tent, just in case you get sparks that fly out on your tent it seems like it works really well this way for me. And I really like your G stove. That’s gotta be superduper quality I know I have one myself. I’ve got the extra long one. I really do believe that that stove was made for the tent not designed. The problem with these days is nobody makes anything anymore. Only but a few people I know this myself I was a tool designer and toolmaker for 42 years at the same company. Made everything from spacecraft parts, and all kinds of exotic metals.
It’s an absolutely fantastic stove. The 45 degree angles are great for tents that have a greater maximum height or don’t have a long enough flue. I don’t find the angle necessary with this setup just because the stove flue extends far past the minimum height necessary for a tent of this size. I’ve actually never even seen sparks make it that far out but if they did and were small enough to get past the spark arrester they would fizzle out before reaching the tent. I completely agree. Many things are made extremely cheap nowadays just to maximize profits. My best gear is still the stuff that is handmade and usually cost more as a result but it will probably last a lifetime! 42 years designing and making tools, wow! Sounds like a fantastic career. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.
At the 11:00 mark. It looks like all that is needed is a notch cut from the bottom of the shield just enough to let the damper dial slide up. Not all the way up to the tent chimney opening, but maybe 4-5 inches from the bottom to allow it to be embedded and accessed for control.
Yeah that would definitely work 👍. It’s not typically too big a deal though because just controlling the airflow with the damper on the front of the stove works really well. I’ve also stepped away from using this stove in favor of a newer titanium stove the folds flat. This will most likely only get used in my larger hot tents now where I don’t need to use the heat shield so close to the stove. Really appreciate you watching another video! ATB
Iys a shame we can't like more than once. So a comment, to tell you that we have once more enjoyed this adventure. Hubby absolutely loves your G Stove. I'de say it's probably the best on the market. Loving that shelter each time you use it. Ty 😁
I always enjoy bring the Polish Lavvu and Gstove out for a camp each winter. It’s just so cosy! And I agree the Gstove may be heavy but it’s incredibly efficient and will last forever!
That meal was bonkers!! Looked amazing!! The wine by the stove looked so cozy!! L.I.V.I.N !! Happy New Year
Thanks! That meal has been a favorite at home for a while so I figured I’d give it a shot in the woods! I have definitely been enjoying the mulled wine this holiday. Having a couple in the hot tent was super cozy. Especially when it started raining! Hope you have a Happy New Year!
As an owner of the 'POMOLY T1 Mini 3' folding stove you mentioned, yeah, I can literally fit the folded up stove and the chimney in my 50L 5.11 72hr backpack... Being made from titanium, it weighs hardly anything and is SO nice to have on a cold night...
That’s amazing!! I really need to get one! I love my Gstove but I would probably hot tent more if I had something as compact and light as one of those fancy pomoloy stoves! Maybe one day. Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment and make me jealous of your stove 😃! All the best!!
Great video, relaxing & laid back. Thankyou.
Thanks for watching! It was a relaxing trip!
Great video, really enjoyed it 👍 I was getting hungry as I watched you cook 😋
Thanks for watching! You should try making that salmon. It’s really good! 😄
I have seen all your videos, it is good that now you talk and explain what you do, waiting for another video... your adventure are the best. congratulation...😃
Wow! Thank you so much for watching all my videos! A new mountain camping video will be uploaded next week. Really appreciate the support!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors yeaaaah😀😀🙏👍
Bore us, that salmon looked delicious, mouth watering watching u eat it lol. Ill defo have to try it. Pasta 🤤, tagliatelle maybe. 👌🏼
Haha yeah it’s pretty good over pasta. Thats how my kids like to eat it!
I feel that you need a aeropress expresso maker. It's a simple way to make ,I feel the best coffee using ground coffee. It's light and doesn't take up much room as it all fits into its own mug.
I’ve used an aeropress before and I agree they are awesome! Usually I am happy with my portable pour over coffee, cowboy coffee or coffee bags but I didn’t have any on this trip. I really don’t like those Nescafé packets 🤣! I also have a Nanopresso which makes a really great espresso but I find most of the coffee gadgets for whatever reason I just don’t end up packing. I should though! Thanks for the comment!
You look like dr. stephen strange camping in the house 🤔😁🤟
Haha no cool powers though! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Lovely camp!♥️ The Polish Lavuu’s are so cool. Happy New Year 2022. God bless you🙏
Thanks for watching! The Lavvus are definitely a well designed durable bit of kit. Happy New Year!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors 🤗🎂🌸
Thank you for another entertaining and enlightening video. We wish we'd known about those little woodstoves as tent campers. It was also nice join you on your camping adventure, if only vicariously.
Thanks for watching another video! These wood stoves are really fun in the winter. It’s super cozy being in a warm tent in the evening with a little mini fireplace! And there are so many different stoves available now as well! Thanks again for the support! Hope you have a great New Year!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Awesome mate. That looked a beauts of camp. Happy new year dude.✌🏻
Always great to get out in the hot tent! Happy New Year to you as well!
Wow, I didn't know that the British eat parsley! ))) All my acquaintances, the British in Russia, cannot stand it, and dill is the same.)))
Yeah I’m not sure how much they eat parsley over here. I can pick it up in the store pretty easily, but I can’t think of any dishes I eat locally that have it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great new year!
I’m so glad I found your channel! Been wanting to connect with camping vloggers too ❤️ Sending our love and support all the way from the Philippines to you!
I’m glad you found it also. Thanks for watching!
So cool... I also like make solo camping videos. hope i can make very good video like this next 😍
Thanks for watching! I will have to take a look at your channel. All the best!
Whoops...some how missed the g stove info the first time around... thank you.
Ilove you from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
🙏👍 thanks for watching!
Great video i enjoyed watching this🙏
Keep up the good work 👍
Nice to see you enjoyed your coffee😉😂🌿
😂😂 Yeah guess I didn’t hide my distaste for the instant coffee very well. Not a fan. Thanks for watching! Have a Happy New Year!
You sure made me giggle i could tell on the look on your face how much you enjoyed your coffee 😂😂
Cool camp and good food and lot's of tips to help others 👌
Best wishes to you and your family and your channel for the new year.🌿
@@69DARKLIGHTS Thanks! Haha yeah never again with one of those little instant coffees! I think I may have talked a bit too much in this one, but it was one of the longest nights of the year to be stuck in a tent! Hopefully there was at least a tiny bit of useful information in my ramblings. Thanks for the support! Hope you have a great New Year as well!
Hello, wonderful video. I subscribe at once👌👍
Glad you liked! Thanks for the support!
What brand of hot stove are you using...
Thank you for sharing your adventure, and have a wonderful New Year...
It’s the Gstove. Thanks for watching! Have a great New Year!
Great
Thanks!
Видимо идти вам недалеко )). Иначе нести в руках сумку еще и возвращаясь и переставляя камеру - наверное не очень удобно? Может имеет смысл запастись рюкзаком литров на 120 для таких походов? В любом случае спасибо за видео, за атмосферу зимнего леса. Усаживаюсь смотреть. Вас с Рождеством и наступающим Новым Годом!
Да, для этого лагеря мне нужно было пройти чуть больше полумили, чтобы добраться до этого места! Обычно я ношу это тяжелое снаряжение в санях, если еду дальше. К сожалению, у нас этой зимой снега еще нет. Спасибо за просмотр и за то, что нашли время прокомментировать! Веселого Рождества и счастливого Нового года!
Sir you need a sound catcher because we can't hear you cleary.
The audio recording mic I use was originally intended for the videos that I did not talk in. Now that I’m talking I am going to need to get a wireless mic. Thanks for watching and for the feedback! Have a great week!
Where was this place you camped at please?
It’s just a nice secluded local woodland near where I live here in the UK. Doesn’t even have a name. Thanks for watching!
don’t cut the tree !
If you are referring to the birch tree. As I show in the video it was completely dead and rotting. Just above where I harvested the birch the entire top of the tree was gone 👍
To much talking
Yeah I agree. The problem I suppose with being stuck in a tent on one of the longest nights of the year. Next camp more hiking and less talking as I will probably be going back into the mountains! Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! Hope you have a Happy New Year! ATB
