- We got ourselves a fishing shelter that we have converted into a hot tent. This is our very first time winter camping ever, and our first time setting up this tent. It got pretty cold -14 Celsius and very snowy. We also got a WinnerWell wood stove so we were able to cook and have a nice warm tent and fired up our brand new diesel heater. Hope you enjoyed the video! Please like comment and subscribe :)

Man, there is nothing like working hard to get camp set up, the snow is falling, then hearing the first fast ticks of a diesel heater as it kicks on… you know it’s going to be a good night 😊
You are so right!! We had such an excellent time and it’s so peaceful! We are planning a lot more camping for this coming winter. Thanks so much for watching :)
Nothing beats Caminus stoves and rbm all season tents for me! I love the video tho! 😍
What’s an rbm tent? And where can we find one? Lol we are looking for another hot tent for this coming winter :)
This time of year, when I’m so done with Summer, I start watching Winter adventures again! Subscribed!
Funny you should say that! We were just saying the same thing talking about winter camping. Can’t wait! 😊
Thank you for the great video. I really enjoyed watching a couple enjoying each others company. God bless you both
Thank you! That’s a very nice comment :) hope you continue to watch our videos, we do have a lot of fun making them and want to make them more often.
The floor pads are genius!! What an idea, when you put the tarp down I was thinking you two were going to tripping and slipping the whole time! Great video, thanks for sharing your adventure!!
Thank you so much for watching! The floor pads really help not slipping! When we first put the tarp down it was like ice to walk on lol 😂
Dang! That was a serious set-up! I've only ever winter-camped alone, with what I could carry in on my back. The hot tent with real meals looked amazing, and you both obviously enjoyed yourselves. And that's really the point, isn't it?
The black stuff on the stove window is just soot, btw. You can clean it off easily. It will also cook off when the stove gets hot enough.
Thank you so much!!! Lol it was a lot of work that’s for sure, but had so much fun! We are currently working on ways to make winter camping a bit easier to bring our stuff. Thanks for watching :)
How did your diesel heater work? My son and I had the same ecperience last year with a similar set up and he would like to add a deisel heater to the mix.
That was AMAZING Thank you so much for sharing , an amazing set up looked lovely
Thank you so much for the nice comment! We had a great time 😊
This trip looks like a lot of fun but it sure is a lot of work to get set up. Stay warm, safe and enjoy
It was so much fun, but you are right…it was a lot of work to get it set up. It was our first time, trying to figure out a better method to make it easier lol working on it hahaha
Thanks for watching :)
YES! Way Too Much Work...I am a 'minimalist'...just give me 1)shelter 2)food 3)water 4)and a sleeping bag and clothing for warmth...jobsdone.
thats the nicest camping setup iv ever seen
Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun!! :)
Thank 😊
Ice fishing hut as a hot tent...that's a novel idea...seems to work fine!
Дружная семья! С одной идеей! У вас всё получилось. Желаю успеха. Привет из Владивостока!
I'm now here and there with both of you ,,, I enjoy watching your video,, love it when both of you talked to audience
Thank you so much!! We had a great time and still getting used to all of this. Thanks so much for watching :)
Wow! Congratulations on this video taking off! I just finished my winter tent camping adventure and uploaded my video yesterday and it recommended yours so here I am watching !! So I’m subscribing!!
Thank you so much!!! We were surprised too! We will def check your channel out! Thanks for watching :)
Wow , that is an awesome stove . I love the built in oven. ❤
We love it too! We are getting ready to take it out soon with our hot tent. We are going to try and make pizza in it too, we have had the oven over 400 degrees. Thanks so much for watching :)
Very nice tent and a nice setup
Thank you very much! It was very cozy :)
Looks like fun. Some relax time with spouse.
We had a lot of fun winter camping. We are just about to get our diy truck camper ready for some spring camping …nice to go out and relax for sure😀
Fancy wood stove! pretty sweet
Thanks! We really like it!
There is no way that wood stove couldn’t heat that tent. From a fellow winter camper
That’s very true! We just were lazy and did not want to get out of bed to put wood in the fire when we were sleeping lol. Thanks for watching :)
4:27 that’s an awesome setup. I wish I could afford one of these. I so want to go winter camping without freezing to death in my little 3 man dome tent. I only have summer gear. But happy for you
It’s so much fun! We are looking forward to this winter already. But you are right, it is pricey… we are currently looking at other hot tents to try out this coming winter. Thanks for watching :)
love this tent great vid
Thanks so much for watching :)
Ein schönes Video.
Great company and food!!!
We had a great time, looking forward to many more this winter! Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you.
Great video.
I'm from Portland Maine.👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi. LIKE. LIKE. SCENERIES. LANDSCAPE. CAMPING.
Us too!!! Thanks for watching :)
Looked like fun
We had a blast! Thanks for watching :)
Nice video, thank you, was surprised your woodstove wasn’t enough to heat your tent. I have a 16’ dia. X 10’ tall tent, I use a woodstove about the same size and it’s awesome but I put about an 1 1/2” dirt inside covering the bottom. Wood burns slower more even with a greater heat output. You can also use fire brick that comes in various thicknesses. You will truly feel the difference and enjoy it much more.
We agree the woodstove made it very hot in there, too hot at times. We just didn’t want to get up to put wood in the fire when sleeping so we swapped out to the diesel heater. We are looking into bio blocks which apparently last up to 6 hours in a woodstove. Is that the fire brick you are talking about? Thanks for watching :)
@@herethereadventures fire brick is actual brick lining on the inside of a stove - it protects the metal from heat, stores heat and radiates it for a longer time once the fire is low
that is very interesting! thanks for telling us about it!@@Gabi-zq6jv
Interesting video. It seems as if this expedition was a bit of a learning experience for you.Fascinated by your wood stove with the gizmo halfway up the exhaust pipe..never seen that before. Good luck with you future adventures.
Lol!!! You are absolutely correct we are not experienced with any of our stuff lol. It was our first time using that tent, wood stove and diesel heater. That gizmo is our stove pipe oven and it’s very cool!
We are actually going to be taking our stove and oven out tomorrow and using it out of our diy truck camper :) thanks so much for watching!
Nice tent it's kinda like a double clam shell yall need to review it when you've used it awhile good to see yall back
Thanks! We totally will! Got it mostly for next year for ice fishing, but we couldn't wait, had to try it lol
I search for new "camping adventures" a lot. There are plenty to pick from, as many have jumped on the band wagon. I found yours, and was attracted to the Novice, but pleasing, vibe. You have the basics of a potentially great experience! It's hard to quantify... but the feeling of "real, experimental fun" is a winner. I was going to offer advice regarding the editing, but I realized that some of the soft spots were what made it all more appealing. I'm gonna subscribe, and hope to see more. Thanks.
Wow! You pretty much described us to a T! We just bought a side by side to take camping with us as well, which will also be a new experience for us. Hope you enjoy watching us learn the hard way on what not to do, as we seem to do that every time hahaha! Thank you so much for the honest comment because we fully agree with you. Thanks for watching :)
Wow it's very good idea
I like this comping your wonderful guys💪
Thank you very much!! So glad you enjoyed, we did too. And i was able to make cookies too...BONUS lol
Thanks for watching :)
HEy everyone has to start somewhere. Nothing wrong with that! You will get this all figured out just keep at it! Looks like you had fun anyway! Keep it up! I do suggest that you look into different bags though. Your "sleep system" looks like it needs some attention. I feel like you will learn NOT to drag most of your earthly possessions with you too. But you will learn that pretty quickly! Have fun and do more of it! You will get the hanf of it!
Thanks for watching! And very true on all accounts lol. Our sleep system definitely needs improvement. We got a lot of new stuff that we wanted to try out for camping. This was our very first time winter camping in a tent so it was an adventure for sure hahahah. Our diy truck camper made things much easier and organized lol. We are thinking now we may need a snowmobile, we would really enjoy ice fishing with this setup :)
Ok 👌 now I see the floor!!!☺
Wow ruffing it.
Hahahhaha that’s how we roll
Bon camping ⛺
That looks comfy cozy I love doing that I’m jealous I live in Florida thank you for sharing
Lol we are jelly that you live in Florida and don’t have to freeze to go camping hahaha! We are planning a trip to Florida at some point in our future. Would love to see it and camp there, although not impressed by the gators lol
very nice
Loved it
Thanks so much! :)
Just like at home, hope you enjoyed 👍
We enjoyed it soo much! Looking forward to going out again :) Thanks for watching!!
Love it bro, subscribed. I'm about to embark on the same except I'm coming for South Louisiana where there has hardly ever been snow. I'm so excited!! Great video my man🐾🐾👊
That’s awesome, we have always talked about doing a truck camping road trip down to the southern states. Would love to go to Louisiana! Have fun :) thanks for watching!!
That clicking noise is the fuel pump…the more premium models will rubber mount them and use a quieter fuel pump so that clicking won’t drive use crazy, can do some research and swap out with new pump and better install depending on how it’s installed, it sounds like it’s bolted right to the case so the sound resonates like tapping a hammer on it…also if one was to purchase a diesel heater it’s just a small low volume low psi pump so In colder weather -20 and colder strongly suggest adding an anti gel to your diesel for better fuel quality and easier on the pump
Thanks so much for the ideas, they sound great! That noise does really bother us but we have noticed the higher you turn the blower on the clicking sound gets less noticeable. We will definitely look into your ideas to make it quieter :) thanks so much!
nice tent...full headroom.. floor.. heat extractor..oven
Thanks so much! We had a lot of fun :)
That is a cracking set up you have. You would need a big trailer to haul all that equipment. A bit much for just 1 night, but for more than 1 its first class.🙏
We admit it was a lot! We are working on a sleigh currently to pull our stuff in with a snowmobile so we don’t have to take that many trips. Thanks for watching :)
It looks like a lot of fun.....but I don't want to work that hard for a good time!!!
Lol not going to lie, it was a lot of work. We are thinking of new ways now to make winter camping much easier. We only have 7 months to figure it out lol
Too much work
Great setup ! .. I have had a diesel heater for 2 years... instead of pulling your combustion air from the outside.. pull it from the inside. With the air temperature higher than freezing the heater will not have to work as hard and you will get better temps inside. After some experiments I moved the heater inside the tent... that way you can use the remote when you bring it lol. Still excellent job !
Lol!!!! When we do bring the remote we will definitely try that! That was actually the first and last time we have used the heater, but we will be using it a lot this coming winter for some winter camping. We really enjoyed ourselves with the woodstove and snow, and are looking forward to this winter. We are actually are out camping right now as we type this. Thanks for the tip, we will be trying that as soon as the colder weather hits :)
I was going to say the same thing. I have my exhaust outside but the unit inside. I can keep the fuel feed low and still have plenty of heat.
good job hope to be out doing the same thing soon
Thanks!! Have fun!!
I have two of those heaters so I now put the diesel heater inside and run the thermostat and exhaust outside
The second thing that exhaust fits right into the port for your power cord you don’t need to run it on the ground like that. I also have a monster lodge.
That’s very interesting! We will definitely have to try that! You aren’t worried the exhaust is too hot to go through the canvas? Also did you have to disconnect the muffler and reconnect to get it through the port hole? Or does it already fit? Thanks!
太棒了，向往的生活
I just happened to stumble upon your video. It's great. Living here in Michigan where it does get cold, this past December I bought a 6 x 12 tent just like yours from another company. This will be my new deer hunting tent/cabin. And, I already have the diesel heater too. Up here people use them for ice fishing in freezing weather, why not use it for a portable hunting cabin? Thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome!! It would totally work for a potable hunting cabin! These tents are well insulated compared to other regular tents. Also the speed of setting it up and tearing down is great. Thanks so much for watching, enjoy Michigan camping… we would like to check it out one day 😊 thanks for watching!
9:29 that is an awesome oven
It is so awesome! There is so many things we want to try and cook in the oven. We will be taking the wood stove with the oven out in the next month or two for some camping in the fall. Then for sure in the winter :)
Great idea. Perhaps a snowmobile and a larger transport sled.
Have a fantastic time 3:17
Thanks so much! We actually got an old snowmobile to use this winter and we are in the process of making a diy sleigh to pull behind it. Thanks for watching :)
Cool
He made sure they had everything to make the woman comfortable.
Happy wife happy life lol! Thanks for watching :)
Well done! That's almost like a home away from home.. When i think of a tent i think of a place to put a sleeping bag and that's it... Not many places in Australia to do some snow camping.
Thanks so much for watching :) We would love to camp in Australia if there were no deadly snakes or spiders haha
Just get an RV and be done with it. LOL.....Looks fun though.
Hahahhahahaha!!!! RVs aren’t great for deep snow and off roading lol but we are picking up what you are putting down lol hahahaha thanks for watching :)
What a set up! After all the work I hope your planning to stay at least a week! Do you experience a lot of condensation inside the tent?
It was a big setup lol! We did notice some condensation in there especially a lot on the windows. But overall not to bad! Thanks for watching :)
I don't think they would allow this set up on "Alone" ;) Glamping in the winter even, nice
LOL!! Too bad this tent wouldn’t fit in our backpack! We are talking about making a more basic camping video without the bells and whistles but I ( female half) definitely prefer to glamp it lol but it will be interesting to try it. Thanks for watching :)
Excellent from start to finish. I was curious as to what the temperature was inside the tent.
Also, that was the definition of a meal. It's a good thing I ate earlier.
Thank you! We are unsure of the actual temperature inside the tent, but there were times we had to open the tent door because it had gotten too hot! Thanks for watching, we are looking forward to taking this tent out in the fall now that it’s getting cooler out.
I have never camped but watch a lot of them. The experienced ones clear the area first before putting up the tent.
Too bad you didn’t mention that before we made that video cause it was our very first time winter camping lol 😂
@@herethereadventures 🫢😁 Watch the ones with #snow #blizzard #. I really enjoy ‘outdoor boys’ and ‘fish13’.
His pants tighter than hers😂😂😂 dope video tho
Hahahahha!!!! that’s how we roll 😂😂😂
Just for next time. Lay your ground sheet first then put tent on top.
We def might try that next time! Thanks :)
I’m sure that tent will smell like smoke forever.
lol 😂 it totally does!
I have seen others use an insulated rug to put down. The feet don't get cold
That’s a great idea! Thanks we will look into that!
And try putting a handle bars on the back. That way you could pushing easier.
We just picked up a snowmobile so we are hoping this will solve a lot of our problems lol
It’s all looks great! But I always wondered- About the bathroom needs, such as going to the per and poops! How do the campers do that?? I never did camping before! Judy curious!
There are a lot of options for using the bathroom while camping. We might make a video at some point about bathroom options. Thanks for watching :)
A square shovel would work much better than a spade
Thanks for the tip! It was the only other shovel we had with us but we will definitely keep that in mind for the next trip lol thanks for watching!
Awesome setup basically a studio apartment in the middle of the forest. I would love to do this but I would be concerned about wild animals and would have to bring protection, a 12 gauge with slugs and my 9mm and some bear spray. I’m probably overthinking it but I’d rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
We are hoping the bears are hibernating where we are and the next worst thing is coyotes. We hear you tho, would rather not need the stuff than to not have it at all, but when In doubt just sleep with one eye open lmao
So how warm
Was that diesel heater for you and how long did it run on a tank of fuel. I’m bettering you talk about it in part 2 but I’m curious ! You guys work great together ! That’s fabulous !
The diesel heater used about 2 litres of diesel on low for 8 hours. It kept us perfectly warm for the night. We haven't used it since tho, so we don't have much more to say other than it worked! We will definitely be updating on how it works along with other new stuff when we use it more.
Thank you so much for your comment :)
@@herethereadventures Il display va all'interno della tenda o non registra la temperatura erogata e cosa importante è, tenere il filtro d'aria, quello nero, sempre sgombro da neve o altro. Buona vita.
When I was younger I used to winter camp in the George Washington National Forest just west of Harrisonburg VA near Reddish Knob. I camped on the snow with a sleeping bag. Back then there weren't so many conveniences available. I don't know if I heard of a 4 season tent back in those days. Putting a few warm rocks in the bag was needed on occasion.
Lol the times are changing, thank goodness! Maybe sometime we will try camping old school 😀 thanks for watching
You should of used a rack. They work great 😊
Thanks for the tip!
I find vinegar good for cleaning the glass on the stove
Awesome we will try that!! Thanks!
I hope this message isn't too late. We are looking to purchase our first wood stove and saw yours and fell in love!! May I ask which name brand and model that one is?
It is the winnerwell nomad large stove :) we have a fall camping video in which there is a link for the stove and oven in the description. Thanks for watching :)
❤
❤️
Love these videos looks so cozy
It was super cozy! Thanks so much :) we had a lot of fun and look forward to doing it more this winter and improving on the quality of our videos.
You guys could have made so much money from this video if you had setup an Amazon affiliate account and put all the links to the products in the description! Just saying, but great video!
Thanks for watching! We thought about that too but a little too late. We are fairly new at this whole thing but we are learning lol :)
How well did that diesel heater work out ? ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Well we did forget the remote and instructions at home, but for the very first time using it, it worked out great. We kept it on a very low setting when we slept and it kept the tent reasonably warm. We will be taking it out more in future videos and will try and figure it out more lol. Thanks for watching :)
I want to start camping like this. How does one keep bear and other animals away from the food smell? Also why does the tent not have a floor.
Just bring a buddy with you and tie their shoes together, now you don’t have to out run the bear, just your buddy lol.
But not to worried about bears in the winter, we hope they are hibernating. Also the tent we used was a ice fishing tent, so it doesn’t come with a floor. But most hot tents we have seen do not come with floors also. Thanks for watching :)
I am burning to ask this for someone that has a tent like this specially a double one
Are these ⛺ waterproof and do they come with a floor?
This tent is not waterproof and does not come with a floor. It’s actually a insulated ice fishing tent. If you were to use it during rainy situations we would recommend putting a tarp over the roof as it would most definitely leak. Thanks for watching :)
Did the Diesel heater get damaged by the snow? How has it been working out for you? Thank you!
No it has not. It is a contained unit that apparently can be used outside… for how long we aren’t sure lol. It was our first and only time we used it. Thanks for watching :)
Hello. Your trip is amazing. I have to disassemble, assemble and maintain diesel Chinese heaters and as a result I have to state the fact that their electronics are not protected from moisture in any way. There is no moisture protection in the control panel, cable connections and control board, so it is best to "put" the device in some kind of box. Good luck 😉
If you pull the hole cover off the top of your stove, it will speed up cooking time.
Did the stove jack come with the tent or did you make it ? I have a similar Otter tent and it did not come with one
We made it. We just used the plastic window that came with it as a template. We bought a 6x4 welding blanket on amazon and cut it to fit. It is doubled up with the fabric and we used velcro to secure it to the spot where the window once was. Then we used the rest of the welding blanket as a heat shield behind the stove so it would burn through our tent. It worked great...the fabric is rated for 1000 degrees. Hope that helps :)
That's awesome, thank you.
Is that the medium or large sized Winnerwell stove? Do you think the small stove would be sufficient with that insulated Otter tent?
We have the large size winnerwell stove. We do think that the medium size would work as well with that tent because the large made it very warm in there, we had to open the door of the tent a few times to cool it down…Thanks for watching!
@herethereadventures1284 I am thinking of getting the small stove, and maybe a slightly smaller tent. Thanks for the reply.
You can buy USB power packs and USB lights that last a long time. No need for that huge battery. You could have also heated that tent with the woodstove, you can put a lot of wood in it
Thanks for the ideas about the usb!! We will look into that! The only reason we used the diesel heater was so that we wouldn’t have to get up every 2-3 hours to put wood in it. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the ideas about the usb!! We will look into that! The only reason we used the diesel heater was so that we wouldn’t have to get up every 2-3 hours to put wood in it. Thanks for watching :)
Run the heater control into the tent
Great idea! We just got to get longer wires to run the control into the tent. The wires that came with are only 6 inches long. We do have a remote, but forgot it of course. It was our first time using it in the video.
Did you stake your tent down? In case of high winds
We didn’t that time, there wasn’t much wind we had to worry about and had lots of trees to block the wind. The tent also weighs over 70 lbs but we did see videos of people using it ice fishing and it just blows away, so we would def stake it down with the included ice stakes that screw into the frozen ground/ice. Thanks for watching 😊
Might help if you try it at home before you are in a snow storm😳
Lmao! Wish you would have told us that sooner lol 😂
A legenda de vcs passa muito rápido...os brasileiros lê mais devagar......adoro ver esses acampamentos......parabéns a vcs....
For diesel heater that thermostat supposed to b inside if it hit the temperature u set at supposed to stop just like yr house
Thanks for the tip! It was our first time using it and we left the instructions and remote at home of course hahaha
@@herethereadventures It's not a thermostat. That keypad controls the amount of fuel entering the combustion chamber, That's the pulsing sound that you hear. , I hope that you enjoyed your first time. You did drag a lot of gear though!
Два індіанці під однією ковдрою не замерзнуть !
Haha! True!
Hook your sled up to a s snowmobile would save you hours traversing. :-)
Hahahaha we learned that quickly and did that in the next video lol
Links in description so we can find the stuff you are using helps
Thank you for the tip! We will be getting on that asap lol
You go all the way out there and your drinking Folgers?
Well the best part of waking up…is Folgers in your cup! Hahah but also we couldn’t find a Starbucks out there lmao 😂
Why not a cover on the ground under the tent? I have seen a lot of campers that have them.
We were worried actually about sticks and stumps and rocks breaking through the bottom of the tent. Also this tent is actually a ice fishing tent so this particular tent does not come with a bottom. We got the tent because it is so well insulated we could use it all winter in various situations. We are planning on taking it on the ice this winter to do some ice fishing and camping. Thanks for watching :)
They baked cookies on a night out! How far have they walked from the car, a few metres?
I would probably have preferred to bring skis and a meal from a serious company that makes dried tour food rather than a whole oven!
I have been hiking in the mountains here in Scandinavia for over 40 years, but I have never baked a cake or hat with a hot oven, I have gone skiing in the winter or on my feet in the summer, up with the tent, food and then a really long and nice walk in the area. Then eat again and then sleep.
The great thing about camping is you can enjoy it in many different ways. We personally enjoy having our comforts with us, but can definitely see the simplicity of just back packing in to a spot which is something we would also like to try. Thanks for watching!
@@herethereadventures Yes, you are absolutely right. I was just so impressed with the cookie baking 😅 And then the terms are probably different, because I don't think many people here in Scandinavia would call it a camping trip when you take half your home with you on a trip and transport everything by car 😊
That’s true! I’m sure a lot of men would disagree with me (female half) but I do love my comforts in order to get me to go as I’m sure most women would agree hahahahha! But now that we have done it, I’m definitely open to the idea of trying it in a more basic way. We are currently working on a side by side to make it camper friendly by adding roof racks for storage for all my stuff lol! Also Scandinavia sounds awesome and we would love to visit there someday, it’s on our to do list 😊
@@herethereadventures Yes, we have different needs and many like comfort. I am an elderly woman who often goes alone in the mountains and can be gone for days. At the end of August, I'm going on a 5-7 day trip with our two dogs, they carry their own food and I have to carry on my back what I need for a little week. It's camping for me, far away from people and a life under the stars. My husband demands that the dogs walk with me as he is no longer able to walk with me due to MS.
In the winter I go skiing and can go for a week. I have several times had to dig myself into the snow when the storms come, it can be quite windy if I am high up in the mountains. That is what life is for me and I understand that it is too much for many people.
But when I'm lying in a warm sleeping bag in the tent I feel like the richest person in the world.
I will be 78 this autumn, the mountains are my source of energy.
I wish you many beautiful trips in the future and Scandinavia, especially Norway is incredibly beautiful.
That’s an incredible and very inspiring story! We will strive for that life! Enjoy your camping trip, hope it’s everything you want :) you should make some videos! Would love to watch them and see the awesome landscape :)
Y a tent with no floor?
You need to cover your diesel heater with something to keep it out of the snow winter elements. The knocking sound is not normal.
The knocking sound is normal. It is the diaphram operated fuel pump working...pulsing to pump fuel
Why would you not clear the snow before putting down the tent
Lol two reasons, one didn’t think that far ahead and two didn’t want to shovel more than we had too haha
I have to be honest, that looked like hell.
We too will be honest, parts of it was lmaoo but still had a good time :)
Hi what is that thing above the stove that looks like a stove😂
How is it called?
Thanks
It’s called a stove pipe oven, and it just sits in one section of pipe. It is a little oven and works great! Thanks for watching :)
WHY IS THE DIESEL HEATER OUTSIDE ??
Where's the cooking oil butter????
