Cabela's Wide-Bottom Thermal Hub Ice Shelter Hot Tent 

Perfect, we are over the top about how well made this is!!

Thank you. It was longer than vids I normally watch, but worth it.

You stepped up the game by listing/noting the gear information (specs, dimensions, pricing, etc.) right in the video. I love that! Don't even have to go out and search it's right there for us.

Liking the video before watching the video? Guilty as charged. I have faith.

thank you for this amazing video. for those of us who are stuck in the city this is a nice way of enjoying the outdoors through your lens. as a present let me send you some of my coooold coold weather ( 15° C and 47% humidity)

Thank you Michael for another fun video. I look forward to them.

Actually, this what I've been waiting for. Winter camping, not something like building some kind of shelter from trees. With Esme around, camping looks fun. This video is awesome AF.

Discovered you today. Excellent fire lesson. I have been thinking about a stove for a while now. You convinced me. Thanks a bunch.

Michael, your content is reliably good. With everything seeming to be falling apart, I can escape (for a time) to hang with you and Esme in the great outdoors. I appreciate you, dude.

Love the video ...Im retiring in 4 years and always liked the bush ...just have never winter camped ....

Greetings from Turkey and thank you for this excellent video. Very inspirational, and practical (i mean basic, not complicated, which I loved!) indeed. Esme is a fantastic dog, btw.♥️ Best wishes!

Great Video! I agree a sleeping bag that includes room for you faithful companion.

After seeing your awesome sandwich I'm going to have to thaw out some bangers for breakfast tomorrow and make one of those sandwiches. Great trip!

Another great one. To bad about the sleeping bag. And I am glad to see the Esme bubbles have returned. Again, thank you for sharing.

Michael, I just stared watching you. You are such a soothing man. Love watching yr adventures with you and yr beautiful dog!!!

Love the idea of sleeping bag for man and his best friend or friends lol

There is no doubt about it, its Esme. She gave you a little love (28:00) to keep you going and she went about her business after that. Love Esme"s videos. Thank you

Hi Michael and Esme! Nice enjoyable long video just the way I like it. Boy I'm really jealous of that reindeer hide , looks like Esme did you a favor by taking the sleeping bag and leaving the hide to you ! Your wife was spot on with this gift. Concerning the first section of the stove pipe that sits on the stove, I solved the problem by welding three 90 degree steel corner braces ( 1 inch x 1 inch) on top of the stove . They are already pre-drilled so you just screw the pipe using auto-drilling screws ....super safe ! Nice use of that long handle shovel holding the stove pipe. It's nice to have many uses with the same tool. Take care !!

Good stuff I stop at Cabellas often as I travel cross country. I first saw this tent and five or six similar tents with quilting insulation. I took several pictures. Some are designed for ice fishing. I think the hanging net is for laundry.

Good to see you and Esme in a hot tent again and utilizing the Can Am. Hope we all get more snow and more camping

About a month ago I decided to try out them little packets of instant coffee, which is a powder form. I'm used to having the jars of instant. I been going with Nescafé Rich for so long. Anyway, I got a box of the camp packets and as I like my Nescafé so much I stuck with their brand, but I got their _Sweat & Creamy_ French Vanilla packets. I love french vanilla cappuccinos which is what I get at Tim Hortons. Well... I am very happy with these packets. It is real good stuff, so I'm gonna keep stocking up on those once in a while. Nice thing with these flavored powder type of coffees, is I don't need to add as much sugar, so that will save on weight in my pack, having less sugar to carry. Plus the weight difference of the coffee packets is less than the regular instant I'd use before.

Wow the Lynx it's such a beautifull animal! I live close to the Pantanal in Brazil and we have some big cats here but oh my... Lynx it's quite unique. So funny, i didn't know (or notice) that this animal had no tail! Super cool! :)

Your tips for screwing the stove pipes together & bracing them up outside are really important. I watched a video the other night where they had an extensive length of light weight vertical stove pipe sections where they were going to leave the structure set up for the entire winter. I left the same tips. ! ~winks~

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to document your adventures! Regards, Wayne

This tent is a great solution for winter camping at a affordable price, it will be my first choice for my first winter hot tent trip. Thanks for awesome advice on how to use a stove in a hot tent, i had no idea.

Just bought the 12x6 version of this and will be putting in stove jack in this week. Excited to try.

Another great video Michael, thanks for what you do. Happy New Year!👍

Your welcome Mike 👍 I’m glad your getting so much use out of that peanut lighter, they sure are a handy camp addition. I have some of my homemade fire starters that I need to give you to try out sometime when we get together again, I think you’ll really like them. Great video and really enjoyed seeing that lynx make an appearance. It’s alway so cool to see them out there.

A great video. Really enjoy your videos. Please give Esme and Simon a hug for me.

Thanks for the Halfords rec. They have bloody Moose mits. I had a pair of those when I was younger and they were awesome. Gotta look into a pair even if the are 100 bucks cdn.👍

Thank so much for doing a wood stove tutorial, great video.

Haha! Esme - "What are my options if I say no?" 😄 I appreciate your tutorial on starting the fire in the stove and then building it, a lot of good information. Thank you, and Happy New Year!

Awesome trip. Esme is so cute. I really enjoy your camping in the ice tent. Having that vehicle really makes things handy to bring everything you need. It looks very cozy. The reindeer pelt looks awesome. Happy new year my friend.

Great trip! Just what I voted for 😃. Seeing you put on the sausages, immediately put me in mind of Megawoodswalker, whom I used to watch, along with you. Also, every time you break twigs for the fire, I find myself mimicking the necessary muscle movements...funny!

Hi Michael and Esme. I like your equipment. It is well thought out. .

Sweet. Thanks.

Your always full of surprises & good stuff , great video 👍👍🏕

Great tent. I just love Emsir intelligent little face watching every move you make.🐩🥰A happy new year and stay safe.

Love watching the dog watch you work at 9:00! lol

Really good advice on how to get the best from your stove mate, I shall take it in to account. I have a spare flue pipe segment with a dampener on it but doesn’t fit the other flue pipe segments due to it being from a different stove, if I can some way convert it I’ll. w laughing. I’ll have one that the front and then that also which like you say with a little playing about I’ll be able to get it running efficiently. The Reindeer hide was just ace wasn’t it and obviously it was keeping you toasty. Lovely sausage and egg in the morning for you too Michael. Thanks for the upload mate 👍

Just found your channel, excellent video. Your mate is lovely. 👍👍💚🐶

13:45 that is such good advice. I feel so dumb that's so obvious 😅. My stove spit smoke at me all weekend!

Esme says " I think your mistaken, the hide was purchased by mom for me actually". haha! Awesome to see the Lynx just laying in the road. I have only ever saw one in my life and it was actually swimming to an island. I thought is was some ducks but as I got closer realized it was a cat! I backed off paddling and just watched it go up on the shore, shake and take to the woods. Too bad on the sleeping bag. I have a few things from OneTigris and they usually make quality stuff for a reasonable price. That was a lot of down and I wouldn't have been too happy about that either. Wonderful night out, thanks for sharing. :) :)

Always wondered how those ice fishing tents would work for cold weather camping. I like learning about the stove dynamics.

I have the Kni Co Packer Stove as well, I can't wait to try it out in my new canvas hot tent this winter with my 3 pups. By the way you are spot on about buying local. Make sure you design one big enough for 3 - 100lb pups

Just my opinion, you should have a lot more subscribers, keep up the good down to earth content.

Good vid thanks for sharing.

happy new year michael esme nice video to

Nice!! Looking forward to this

Awesome video

Great vid again, Happy New Year to you and Esme.

Happy New YEARS TO

i picked up a set of the chair buddies for my trekology portable chair....AWESOME!! out of black, had to settle for red 😖

”Esme found the bed already”😊🐕‍🦺 Lovely video again, thank you.

I really like your videos! A this hot tent set up is great !!! Can it fit two cots In it ? Thanks for sharing this with us. Please tell Esme Hi 👍👍😎♥️

Always enjoy your videos you do a great job with everything please keep them coming , I also have an Argo and really enjoy fishing and camping I actually took my two daughters out today ice fishing and we had a lot of fun thanks again

Hello Michael and esme how is everyone doing? Thankyou for a awesome great video. Please give esme a treat for me please. Yall all take care and be safe sir. I like when you put the bubbles up with esme saying something i love it there very funny. HAPPY NEW YEAR'S

Greetings from Australia first time to your channel have subscribed now very interesting post

great adventure!

Camp Chair 💯 same for the table and cot

Happy New Year

Thanks Michael. Nice setup and good idea with the shovel. Esme seemed very comfortable. She is good company. The joke about a bad "down" sleeping bag is that it is not leaking, it's molting🙂 Happy New Year!

New subscriber hi from Alberta 🇨🇦

the "so called damper " in the door is not a damper it called the draft. you have draft and damper. what a thrill to see a lynx like that, a beautiful animal for sure. if you put a thin ridgerest under your air mattress it will be much warmer, i suppose you could put it on top as well. i just love your mellow videos, very soothing in these troubled times.

Nice one Michael...Happy New Year mate :-)

Super cool muito bem🤠🍳☕☕🏕🌎🌏🌍🐕⛄⛄⛄⛄👍 ok very good

Sleds are hard to go through wet,drainage creeks. Ok for frozen ground and ice.

another great video!

Happy new year Micheal. Not sure if you follow Lonewolf 902, he's up in your neck of the woods (I live out in Australia now so anywhere in the same country is "your neck of the wood's!"). You might want to check him out and his dealing's with One Tigress. Awesome video as always mate, we don't get snow here in Queensland, so seeing your camp site's in the snow is a kind of memory of the old country. I remember my grandparent's village in Oxfordshire getting snowed in for weeks a time as a kid, and as a teen getting to within 1/2 mile of the village only to be met by an 8 ft snow drift and having to walk the rest of the way in. Stay safe and give Esme a scratch behind the ear for me!

Happy new year’s

What type of vehicle are you driving? I like the way the door opens!

There's that GOOD girl, Alberta's best camp dog ! If lynx are about, could be some good bunny-busting if they're in season. They're a favorite snack for a lynx. Question for you, would that Helinox cot work with the Teton tent? Looks like the Helinox packs away into a smaller package. Congrats on the Reindeer hide. They are nice and warm ! Too bad on that One Tigris bag not working out. I'd be most concerned about the down shedding. I'm with you, gimme a nice/big rectangular bag with draft baffles and a SOLID zipper which works two ways and can connect a second bag for couples' sleeping comfort. Have you considered using Flax Seed Oil to "season" the wood stove while it's still hot, like you would the cast iron? Kind of nice to keep the rust at bay, if that'd work. Good camp-out, always a pleasure to watch one of your vids and to enjoy (with you) the antics of Esme and Simon. And, NOTHING warms the body like a furnace full of meat ! Good lookin' sammich there Kemosabe.

I`m new to this channel but my wife and I love it, we used to have an Australian shephard and Esme reminds us of her (obviously Esme is shorter, or is Esme an Australian shepherd standing in deep snow?)

Why no tarp for a floor? I'd think that a warm tent would end up melting snow and making the "floor" a bit soggy, if not a little muddy.

Great video Michael 👍. What fire wood roll is that?

New subscriber, awesome channel!

Not a bad idea. However, when I tried it, it does not do well in wind. 15-20 miles and it collapsed. And the wind blows dirt from under the tent. Just a warning for those wanting to try it.

Have you ever thought of making a small trailer to pull with your Can Am? Like 54” x96 “. A pull behind shelter kind of thing . Just an idea . Might be tough in deep snow but could be nice as a base camp ⛺️ if you have a place to keep it . Love the videos and the pups.

Hi Michael, I would like to see you a mini review on the 3 vehicles you have used. What are your likes and dislikes of the Pioneer 500, the argo and the can am defender and which one do you like the best

Tamarack burns the best in these I bought one of those Princess auto ones it has a smaller pipe takes a bit to get started but super light and it`ll keep going once started , Get ahold of me I believe we live in the same vicinity north of Edm.

Have you noticed a difference since BassPro bought out Cabela's ? Personally I preferred Cabela's "ORIGINAL MERCHANDISE" versus the BassPro influence. Cabela's gear was always "Top Of The Line" versus budget oriented with Bass Pro. Your opinion please. So Asketh JimInCincy

Regarding the wood stove, you don't need to use a heat shield behind it? In addition, it seems you didn't bring along a carbon monoxide detector.

Love your vids. Do you like the defenders visco lok? Does it work like a locked front diff?

A touch under 40° C here today in Melbourne. Still 36° at 1900 so a snow camping adventure seems a great idea. Were you running Esme straight after the Lynx sighting so as to use her as bait. Poor Esme.

Can you tell me what the pack size is on this hub shelter? Need to make sure it can fit in my 5ft truck bed vertically to maximize my truck bed space. TY!

Hello Micheal and Esme greet you. Happy New Year and above all, stay healthy and I wish that all your wishes come true. Esme, so twice a week, a really big steak, would be a good idea, laugh. Greetings from Frankfurt. Michael, so sometimes I envy you, you can stay in Canada, free, as you like. In old Germany unfortunately not, goes only in another way. Your Stove could work better and especially safer and that tells you an old Senior Combustion Engineer and Senior Site Manager. Leave the flue gas pipes in the tent as long as possible, it is heating surface and brings heat into the tent. Outside the pipe must always be at 90° to the heater, still on top. So the pipe bends always in sum 90°. Reduce the outlet of the flue gas pipe by approx. 1 inch, so that the outlet speed is higher. One inch larger than the flue gas pipe over the outlet nozzle, a perforated piece of pipe with a good 60% free area, or cut slots in it, or take perforated plate. And important always about 1 meter higher, than the tent. You save wood and can regulate everything better with your control flap and air opening on the stove. Of course, dry hardwood is the best. You can prepare logs soaked in coconut oil at home. With it you can start a fire much faster, even with wet wood.

I am curious as to why people who own that type of tent or that tent never seem to fold out or in the snow skirt or never seem to tag it down with the straps provided ???

I like the vest you wear in this video, who makes it?

Would a splitting wedge help until your shoulder heals Mike?

i guess Simon is in the production studio lol

Hi Michael, you must have cut the wood before you set up the stove because i see your new shovel leaning on the back of your side by side. (not holding up the stove pipe)

So is this waterproof? Be good for elk camp? I see the clam c720 are huge.

2person sleeping bag be best thing for you and your bestfriend.

How you supposed to heat that with snow on ground inside. Wont that turn to mud?

With you promoting the Cabella wide base insulated ice shanty, why not get them to put a stove pipe opening in the actual tent instead of making one and possibly wrecking the tent? Also there should be an optional floor if you plan to camp on it.

I seen your face mask gear and I can't see it being completely compatible for me? I'm not getting it back on ?

Hi great video ! where abouts are you ? It looks a lot like Newfoundland haha ! cheers

Try one of these for your splitting, better control and safer. You just have to be aware of the size of the logs you're splitting or they'll just bind in the frame. Check back periodically as they do drop in price on occasion.

Is that a new cot?

I have the same tent stove when I Wintercamp I bring some coal with me to burn at night Keeps me warm till the morning
