Hot Tent Camping in First Snow 

Just get a 1/8th inch plywood to put under the mattress, which will help with the slats. For your stove, get one of those heat fans to move heat around the tent. Love your setup.

Hey Mav, .. see that circle on top of the wood stove? If you take that out and put the pot/pan over the hole it heats the pan/pot more... Thats why that circle plate/hole is there. 😉

You know Mav is a Minnesota native when he is happy to see Snow!

Nothin cures the Sunday blues like a Mav upload 👌🏼

Mav, please don’t cut and use the inside of your thigh as a rest. One slip and you are gone. Main arteries don’t give you a second chance. Love ya kiddo!

Wow, great tent. I’m envious and put it on my Dream List. Ideas. For the floor how about those interlocking pads you put down when ice fishing. For lanterns, get solar lamps and hang them in the trees during the day. Those square ones used in camping. You need a small low camping table near stove-- it will help with cooking. A whole box spring? Maybe not. Cardboard under the mattress & you won’t feel the metal slats.

It's the cold that was keeping the mattress from totally plumping up to it's full size. Enjoyed this. Peace Out.

Hi Mav, a saw a couple of things that I suggest you give a try and see if your stove gets warmer for cooking on. Try and use wood that is from fallen trees, or has been cut for a while so that it has dried it will burn hotter. For your beef stew, I would have put browned off the meat, put aside while you soften the onion, add back in the beef and your garlic, add your stock, bring to the boil, then add your veg in stages, the veg that takes the longest to cook goes in first. (This will also not drop the temperature of the stew too far) and lastly use cornstarch rather than all purpose flour to thicken the stew it cooks out quicker. Love your tent in the woods.

Winter camping at its finest. Love the Cooking with Mav segment, always makes me hungry. Suprised no critters have set up a home in your abode.

That was such a fun video! We have a wall tent and just love it. It's so nice to be toasty warm inside with the wood stove while it's snowing and/or freezing outside. We bought the padded puzzle floor mats to help insulate from the cold coming up from the ground. Your mattress might just need to be in some warm air for a few hours to puff up all the way. Fun set up though! Excited to see more videos on your tent.

That kind of lamp oil is made with paraffin wax so when it cools it’s the wax hardening and freezing . Love the tent ! Thanks for sharing!

4:47, Mav be preppin for all sorts of occasions

An update to the tent and a nice place to sleep more comfy, makes it more enjoyable and you would want to visit more often too. Love it bro. Since you already have the base made of wood why not just make a wooden table too that becomes a permanent part of the setup as well, that way you have a nice place to cut instead of on the foam plate.

y'all already know we here sending those daily positive vibes from Houston everyone!

Love the tent setup Mav. It would be really cool if you did a video that was something like living in the tent for a week where you brought out all the supplies the first day and stayed out for a week or whatever.

Get the big square foam tiles to put on the floor. Super comfy to walk on and great insulation. I use them in my tent all the time.

Home Depot has indoor outdoor/boat.. cheap carpet on a 12' roll....cut to size needed...its very durable....cover those breezy cracks in the floor ... love your setup 🙌🙌🙌

Id definitely look into a double sided axe/hatchet. Usually one sides more for chopping and ones for splitting also a sheet of 1/8th or 1/2 inch treated plywood under the mattress would work great for support and id hit some antique malls and find some old oil lanterns still in good shape they'll probably work better than the ones that you had leaking and getting a wood rack a little closer to the heater would make it easier to load and keep the wood dry

4’x8’ (3/8”)sheet of plywood on top of the bed frame would help support the foam mattress topper

Hi Mav u seriously need a huge mat for the door area, to help with the tracking of dirt and snow, maybe some shelves also to store stuff to make the tent more organized, and some carpet for the floor to help with the cold seeping in. Enjoyed your video...peace

Fun watching you winter camp in your canvas tent! Actually had an impromptu over night camp in th3 snow with friends this weekend up in Pecos NM! ❤❄️❄️❄️

Mav, that cabin is a little piece of paradise! Thanks for sharing bud!

Love the tent setup. A thin piece of plywood would work well under the mattress. And maybe just having some of the same foam tiles that you use in the fishing shack to cover the floor for when it gets really cold would help with the draft

Just met your mom at Back Alley and she’s the sweetest!!! ❤ told her we love your content and she was proud mommin’ it up

There really is such a limited market for really good outdoor wear it's better than having just one choice and I appreciate you. And I have that exact bed frame without box springs, it is the taller up off the floor though so I can stuff stuff under and it's just awesome.

MAV love to watch you explain things !!! You are so COOL !!! Am Glad we got you in OUR FUTURE to Lead us through things !!! KEEP ON TRUCKEN!!!

I think a queen size bed is definitely glamping!

Best camping RU-vidrs??? Mav and Luke outdoor boys !!!

Loved that garlic move. Thanks Mav.

Maybe worth looking into some coir matting on your floor to reduce the floor drafting. Off cut of coconut matting at your entry exit point for getting the worst of the mud off your footware too. Great set up Mav, good fun vid. Food looked perfect for a winter nights camping 🏕🔥❄️

Mav you need a couple of splitting wedge's and a small sledgehammer for the bigger logs. Trust me, it will make you life much eazier....lol Also you need a small atv for pulling ur tray. The camp looks great.

Can't wait for a Mav and Luke from outdoor boys collab... the best camping youtubers

Great video, as always Mav. Great little camping spot you have there! Maybe a couple of area rugs would help with the cold air coming up from the ground.

That's really cool that you have your apparel in Zumiez. Congrats!

The few videos you have made sleeping in that tent have been super awesome, one of my favorites

Mav stays strapped ❤

YES MAV keep up the great content!!

Loved seeing you make it rain in the OpTic watch party chats earlier this evening, you absolute dawg💚

The first rule of cast-iron. Get it hot before you cook. Christmas lights could be all year round with the solar set up.

absolutely love the 19x just casually sitting in the bookbag lol

Hey Mav! Love the videos. You may want to look into getting a very thin boxspring (made for memory foam) or just putting some plywood on the bed frame will do wonders for the mattress

Love it congratulations on your big retail taking the brand to a new level

I havn't watched you in so long just so I could binge watch em all. It's always a treat to watch someone just get into an adventure I'd do maybe once a year.

Mav, you need a regular spring mattress for that bed. You only have the topper. Once you get a good boxspring you can never sleep without one ever again!

Bloody Sunday an Mav at zoomizes. What a great day

I have that hat. Love it. Wear it when I walk in the cold mornings. Your clothes are well made and I still wear the Christmas sweater with the rats. 🐀 Thank you for all the great content over the years. Love the hot tent camping and can smell the stew. Yummy looking. Thanks 😊

Stash far more wood. Like 5x what was there. Use the pot hole in the stove top. Keep a pot of water on the stove to both humidity the air plus act as heat ballast plus always have hot coco water. Flip that base a s spray in foam installation? Keep the base insulated. Solar + battery for lighting and even heat pads for bed! Find Coleman lanterns at garage sales. Keep five or six hanging in tent

Mav and the Outdoor boys should do a collab. Survive 3 days in Alaska or something.

Wonder if the tent walls would make a good movie screen? Smart projector and movie night with popcorn made on the wood stove, thanks for sharing your adventures!

Love you Mav one of the best channels on RU-vid!

Awesome Mav! So proud of you ❤

This tent looks so homey and sweet to spend night in❤

Love this video! As a fellow Minnesotan, I can say that seeing the snow fly a week or so ago was glorious! Thanks for making my weekend complete with your video. Cheers!

You rock, Mav!

I have that exact bed frame and while it didn’t require a box spring, my mattress kept feeling like it was pushing through the slats. I ordered a “bunkie board” off Amazon and it helped a lot.

I love cooking. Watching you cook is always my favorite part lol

Mac oughta build a log cabin out there. I have full confidence he could do it

yo mav love the vids man, keep it up.

Looks so peaceful 😊 🫶🏼❄️

My boii casually in zumiez that’s how you know the merch is fire 🔥

4:49 the ole mystery mousecatool..I love it Mav!!

I love tent videos especially in winter. I'm subbed to a cpl other people that do them. Very relaxing lol. If you don't want to insulate that deck you could also put a couple indoor outdoor carpets down. That would probably make a huge difference. I loved that comforter. I like the way it sounded when you moved it around. Great video Mav. Tyfs God bless

Happy for a new video! Honestly just hanging and cooking

aweome video MAV!!!!!!......I enjoy all your content,keep up the good work! ROLL TIDE ROLL!

One of many outdoor RU-vidrs who has inspired me to start a channel. Thanks MAV!

I'm so stoked to receive my mav jacket. You're an inspiration brother.

A carpet on the deck will keep the tent warmer. Make it big enough that it rises over the tent canvas for a few inches to keep draft away.

Less liquid and you’re set. Looked more like a soup but that made me hungry. Great video Mav.

Those mattresses you’re supposed to let cure for atleast 24 hours before using it. Hope it wasn’t horrible.

Was just about to go to sleep but another half hour won't hurt right 😂

SUCH A FAN MAV!!!! YOU ARE THE MEANING OF KEEP ON TRUCKIN!❤

Put some clear glass on the stove door so you can see the fire and to know when and how much firewood to put on the fire would be a good idea

I live in the same city as Mav and am happy about our lack of snow; I'm sick of shoveling for the mailman. I never use my front door or sidewalk, and other than packages, I hate the mail, yet I have to go out when it's cold as hell and clear the snow so that some guy can fill a box on the front of my house with advertisements. EDIT: We use the backdoor to get to the garage where we come and go from.

A little puzzled as to why you did not IMMEDIATELY remove BOTH of those cheap ass oil lanterns when you discovered one was leaking. You should have placed both of them outside to a safe location! Love your vids, have learned a lot from you!

Vinyl plank would help retain some heat it normally floats on 1\8 in foam backer. Would look pretty slick out there, and be a lot easier to keep clean. Would be cool to see a multi fuel lantern I haven’t seen one on a RU-vid yet.

When I renovated my camper I bought one of those platform bed frames with no need for a box spring and a memory foam mattress all from Walmart. It’s really comfortable and works well.

For the love of god PLEASE just get an oven mitt and bring a better knife out there. The table is chaos I got anxiety watching you cut on that table with a pocket knife

MAV > Sunday Night Football

Always a highlight of every Sunday evening.👍 Keep Truckin' MAV

Yes brother, Well done steak has always been the righteous path.

Another great video... Thank you Mav

Hey, Mav. Reminds me of a military exercise in South Korea in February 1987. GP medium, 6 GI's, and a wood stove. That's camping!

Stew looked incredible!!

I would definitely put some installation under those floors and use some wood or somethung so the cold air can't get under the tent. I bet that would make it 80% more warmer inside.

I need something like this, so I can always escape ☃️❄️🎀✨ mav is a charm, peace 🩰☁️!!

Im so hype they're available in canada!!! I'll bring ordering one monday for sure

Always enjoy watching- eager to see what this year holds

My boy Mav a bouji camper now 💅🏽

Love and peace from Australia as always Mav 🦘😘

i enjoy all the food he makes an the way he survies in the winter good tips

Cool tent!! Thanks for sharing

We need a Mav and outdoor boys colab

Mav, put that pipe with the damper higher. Better draft and you'll trap more of the heat to heat the room before it goes up the chimney. Also had a pipe thermostat in the pipe about 18 inches up to know how cool or hot your fire is. ✌️ Truly enjoy your videos and am proud of what you've created. 👍

As someone mentioned: Plywood for the bed. 😊 thanks for sharing.. the ste2 looked great 👍

To get that wood stove really pumping out heat leave the door open a crack as you have no damper on the front. This will allow more air flow so that wood can burn.

Put the wood rack right next to the stove. It’ll dry out the wood and burn much better.also get an eco fan to put on top of the stove to help move the heat around.

I think long term you'll find a twin bed may work better and give you much more floor space. Adding one or even two more white tables will help you with counterspace for cooking a lot. An ottoman can be a good looking storage option. You can also try a clear closet behind the door shoe holder for storing small items.

You never disappoint Mav! 👍🏻💯

Snows a good sign Mav 😂❤

The mice and squirrels will be so happy to have a new mattress!
