Solo camping in a blizzard | It's safe inside the tent even in a stormy forest 

Me too! I'm not much of a camper but seeing people pitch their tents (especially in bad weather) then lay their sleeping bag on the ground puts me right off the whole idea.

@@j.pappas9083 there was an air mattress in there somewhere

@@j.pappas9083 He had an Air Mattress. I stopped using those when I was 14 though because they always popped. It was useful as ground cover though. .

I have several hot tents. None have floors, while all of my 3 and 4 season tents (non hot tent) have floors. Given the conditions where hot tents are commonly used, where snow, snow smudged with dirt (i.e. mud) exists, the need to constantly put on/take off boots, the presence of things like split wood, and a glowing hot stove, make it more practical to accept a separate ground cloth. Ground cloths specific to each tent are available and have a panel that is heat/flame resistant, which is positioned under the stove's location. Alternately, you can use a regular tarp and buy a separate fire resistant panel to place under the stove, or just keep the stove on the ground, with the tarp kept some distance from it. The tents have perimeter flaps that fan out at the tent's base (they looked a bit short on this tent). If there very little wind, these suffice in minimizing inside/outside air exchange. If there is high wind, the tent's perimeter flaps need to be secured. One method is to pile snow on to the tent's perimeter flaps. This stops all the wind from creeping underneath. When it does this, you won't miss the ground cloth not being integral to the tent. Where I've found this to be a problem is pitching the tent where there's little snow. In that case, log segments, rocks or the like are needed to pin down the sides. This alternative is a hassle, both because in strong winds, the logs/rocks can abrade/tear at the fabric, and because a buffeting tent can pull itself put from under the log. That happened once in high winds while snowing. It got under the tent, quickly lifted that side, resulting in an 'indoor snowstorm'. It was partly my fault for not spending enough time securing all guy lines. I entrust the builders with their avoidance of integral floors. It would be a high maintenance item to clean and repair.

and with the right sled, the right load, and a favorably-slick snow cover, the trek is almost effortless!

Or just stay home.

I knew what he was going to do before he did it. The Thumbnail had the tent going up in that spot - he had to stamp down the snow. .

Yes excellent

💯💯💯

Good comment. Loud background music often defeats the hearing-impaired who are trying to make out the words from the music 🎶 🎵 … 😢

more luck than judgement I think

all that work and he only stays one night. HE IS NOT A CAMPER!! He only wants the money from the video being viewed. sad

Thank you for liking Japan forest!

Какая ерунда! Место под палатку совсем неудачное, палатка летняя, обустроил внутри вообще безграмотно! Туфта полная!

How many times have you winter camped? The tent is a good winter hot tent and the interior layout is a personal decision for a single camper. The tent was setup , the stove installed, a fire was lit, he ate and slept in a snow storm with wind. I’ve winter camped many times and this was a good setup.

​@@user-ue4sk2pi5ta summer tent with a stove jack? Ooookay. He did fine. I would have knocked more snow off the wood before taking it in, but otherwise, it was fine.

I've lived in Michigan my whole 72yrs. We have a lot of forested land that is not private. Between State Land, Federal Land, State Forest and Federal Forest there are millions and million of acres available for recreation. Since it is government "owned" and I pay state and federal taxes, I use those government lands like my own. I do not care for camp grounds and other formal state designated places to camp so I leave the beaten path and seek vast wilderness. Our current presidential administration is beginning to take on all the characteristics of a dictatorship and I fear the "government land" will become regulated or sold to the CCP and the kind of camping and hunting I do will be by permit only. We need to keep an eye on the gov. T.J. Pres #3 once said "Eternal Vigilance is The Price of Liberty," and I believe never truer words were ever spoken. The current presidential administration and unelected 4th branch of government are robbing our national treasures and selling them to any bidder. They run a constant drivel about climate and pollution, but I have to think they are more worried about the world going to nuclear war and killing every living thin on it or the world itself crashing into the sun. The U.S. government is acting like our time is very limited and they have to get as much as they can in a hurry. ben/ michigan

agreed. I wouldn't trust it in the UK let alone the back of blizzardville

For the most part they do. Only a few don't have floors.

I was just thinking the same thing.

@@joewoodchuck3824 All three of my hot tents have separate floors. Also, most of those I've seen advertised are offered with separate floors. I can see the logic behind it and have come to accept that it is the right way to go.

@@gregparrott But why?

​@@joewoodchuck3824 As much as I would enjoy an integral floor, I've come to accept the floor being separate because: - ) In snow or sleet conditions, it is a 'production to don/remove boots. It's often more convenient to continue wearing them inside for extended periods. - ) For Winter conditions, the floor of a hot tent is more subject to wear and tear from boots, hard objects like stoves, split wood, chairs, occasional embers popping out. - ) It's much more difficult to clean and dry the tent if the floor is integral. This includes mud from the tent heat melting snow under the floor. - ) The 3 reasons noted above support the notion of having a transition area inside the tent, like a 'mud room' in a house - ) On my 2 person tent (with a stove inside), the detachable floor by itself adds ~4+ pounds. Alternatively, using a Tyvek sheet for around the sleeping bag is ~3 ounces. - ) One of the hot tent's uses is ice fishing for those cutting holes in ice, they WANT open access.

I would read any kind of book you’d write. Makes me feel like I was right there with you.

@@camnorris1740 Thank you so much for being there with me and letting me know what you thought. What a sweet compliment that you gave to me and it made my heart smile. 🥰❤

Yeah. Reminded me of when I was young too. That's why I like watching these camping videos. .

Пол в зимней палатке как раз и не нужен. Настилается отдельно, оставляя часть снега открытым. Он впитывает влагу. Особенно это важно, когда готовишь еду в палатке.

@@user-te1ub4bf2p я начал жить в палатках месяцами в 1974 году. При производстве полевых геофизических работ! Потом, в середине 90-х перешёл на работу в город, но мои хобби - охота и рыбалка не позволили уйти от использования этого жилья как в осенне-зимний период времени, так и в весенне-летний! В поле у нас были только брезентовые однослойные 6-и местные и 4-х местные (редко) палатки и дна у них не было. И всегда на пол стелился еловый лапник, потому, что зимой утоптанный снег от тепла печки протаивал и внутри палатки получался очень неровный, неудобный пол. Когда на нашем рынке стали появляться импортные палатки подходящие по цене, то первая была тоже однослойная в виде чума от бренда «Экспедиция»! Вот к ней впервые (в моей практике) шёл утеплённый пол! И тогда я смог оценить его полезность и удобство! Но всё же необходимо было подкладывать на пол теплоизоляционный лист (я возил дюралевый примерно 60 на 60 см) под печку и под центральную стойку тоже обязательно была нужна опора, иначе она нагревалась и уходила в снег. У пола есть недостатки: на нём легко образуются лужи зимой и осенью натаскивается грязь, которую потом хозяин палатки вынужден отчищать, пол сушить и проветривать! Но когда вы ставите палатку без пола во время разгула кровососущих: комаров, оводов, слепней, и особенно мошкИ и она может по всяким щелям забраться внутрь и не дать Вам хорошо отдохнуть, вот тогда Вы оцените наличие хорошего пола в палатке! В полевых палатках без пола летом можно было спать только под марлевым пологом. Попробуйте сейчас найти такое изделие! Который в жару не дышал и спать под ним было очень жарко с учётом нагрева палатки за день! На сегодняшний день мне 71 год и огромный опыт организации полевых палаточных лагерей! Здоровья и удачи!

В большинстве шатровых, которые на лыжи крепятся, никакого пола нет. Вместо него полиэтилена кладётся. А то промокнет ваш пол, волоки потом лишние килограммы.

@@irinaKorovina каждый выбирает наиболее подходящий для себя вариант! И цели и задачи бывают разные! Кому-то пол необходим, а кто-то и полиэтиленом обходится! Я всё это не только понимаю, но и знаю очень хорошо! Здоровья и удачи!

Not climate change. I remember times back in the seventies in northwest Ohio when it would be in the 70s in late March then a week later we would have snow and then it would get warm again and then in April we would get snow. and my parents who grew up in the thirties said it did the same thing then and their grandparents who grew up in the 1800s said it did the same thing then. Don't let the media and other liberal organizations fool you. these big temperature changes and changes in the amount of precipitation have been going on since the beginning of time.

Is it still today? Lol

Climate change ??

@@rickmccown6956 I don't know why my comment from a couple weeks ago isn't here but yeah I said it's not climate change. My parents talked about getting married in a snowstorm in May back in the 40s. And they said their parents talked about wild temperature changes back in the 1800s. It's change of seasons like it's always been. The world has gone through wild temperature swings since the beginning of time. The jet stream has changed some, which I remember my dad telling me that my grandpa said that back in the 1940s or 50s. That the jet stream in the United States would change and people in the midwest where we were from wouldn't get big snowstorms as much because the moisture from the Rockies wouldn't come to us as much as it was then. And now the snow they do get up in that area is driven down from Lake Michigan even though we're in the southern part of Northwest Ohio. And that hardly ever happened in the seventies and eighties when I was up there. Still get some good storms when the moisture from the south collides with cold air from the northbut not the big snow storms that came over from the Rockies and held up all the way through the Midwest and east coast back then. Again because the jet stream changed.

I was thinking the same thing

Maybe this was just for vidoe purposes so we can see what he is doing. I sure hope so or that would be dreadful survival technique

Unconventional too, not to pitch the tent with the opening facing away from the wind, so no snow at all would blow in with the flaps open.

You could...

Did you see what he ate for breakfast? He definitely left a trace

Потому что это для картинки делалось.

А какие звери зимой?

Да хотяб волки. Ему их будет достаточно.

Какие звери?он у себя за огородом её ставил 😂

An air mattress will suck the heat right out of your body

I know AND NO ONE EVER TELLS ANYONE ELSE THEY ARE FREEZing

Why? Air is a good insulator.

@@joewoodchuck3824 yea if it’s 80 degrees but near zero is a different thing all together! I’ve done it been in it and it damn cold 🥶 on an air mattress at zero degrees.

@@user-rq2yk3rr6v But it doesn't make sense that an insulator makes the cold worse.

😂😂😂

Me, too. A friend and I snowshoed into the mountains north of Tres Piedras for two nights. I’m a retired photographer and we got some great shots. No snow, but damned cold. Slept with my camera inside the bag. No stoves except for cooking stoves. In those mountains around Taos, the sun warms you up very well during the day. Had great down bags for the nights inside a simple Jansport tent. Only excitement was I snowshoed too close to what looked like a seven or eight foot pine. Of course I dropped into the “hole” under the branches. Tree was probably about twelve feet tall. 2:55 My companion got a big kick out of it, especially since I had warned him about getting too close to trees. Sunrises were spectacular. 0 degrees, absolutely pristine blue skies, the air “cracked” around us. Altitude near Hopewell Lake is about 10,500 ft. A memorable trip.

хорошо , хоть диван не притащил. Часто показывают чудаков притащивших двухкомнатные палатки. Обкуренный народ ?

If your tent held 4 cots, it was almost certainly an 'Outfitter's Tent', not one of that can be backpacked, along with a tiny, collapsible titanium stove.
