I bought the cheapest hot tent and tent stove I could find on Temu and took it winter camping. This gear shipped directly from China and I wasn't sure what to expect. So what's the deal with all this cheap outdoor gear coming directly from foreign companies when we order it on Amazon, Temu, or AliExpress? Is it any good? Join me for this campout where I'll spill the beans and let you know if I think it's worth it!

I've heated both houses and canvas tents with wood stoves and if my stove pipe was ever glowing I'd first damper down the fire and then go change my under-draws. Especially with a thin stove pipe when the pipe is hot enough to glow, you should be concerned that the pipe may fail - which could be calamitous in a small space. Also, my first concern with using a wood stove in a non-canvas tent is the flammability rating of the material. Since, this is an educational video you may want to test the flammability of the tent material for your viewers.

@@outdoorempirecomyes, actually I would second this person's concerns. I don't know about everything that poster writes about but even I would be super alarmed at the glowing stove pipe. That metal is melting and can be reshaped, narrowed, bent etc. That metal shouldn't even be able to get as hot as it would in a forge, glowing like that. Major concern.

@hyperboreanforeskin 6 месяцев назад

most outdoor gear is made in a select few factories in Asia. the difference is, the big companies hire quality control techs. so you can get high quality gear from the same factories as brand names, just need to go over it with a fine tooth comb when you first get it and either fix the f*ck ups or return it for a new 1. p.s you should ALWAYS burn in a stove for the first time out side before bringing it in your tent to burn off all the oils and finishes on it. they make some noxious fumes.

I bought several items on Temu last month. I didn’t find much of a price difference from Amazon. With Temu, plan on 2 weeks for shipping. Amazon keeps a lot in warehouses in the USA. It’s much quicker. That being said, I’m generally happy with the quality of the Temu gear.

Sounds like a great starter set for someone who wants to get an idea ifea of whether hot tent camping is for them. Probably not something you'd want to take in truly extreme weather or use for a long term base camp, but for a weekend camper just dabbling in cold weather camping this seems perfect.

@YankeeWoodcraft 6 месяцев назад

That is scary compact. I just started to watch the video, but it's going to be interesting to see what the condensation is going to be like. Might be a good ideal to leave the door pretty open. For just $199., you can get a OneTigris Tegimen wall tent which you can legit stand up in as a 6 footer and you can fit a cot and a chair in it easy as it's about 12' long and 6' high. Now those are good (aka "safe") dimensions for a hot tent. And it only weighs 6.8lbs. And that's from a legit company that's been around for decades and that warranties their stuff. Great review. Thanks.

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

It's tight but condensation wasn't bad because the stove sucks all the moisture out of the air inside. I like the sound of that One Tigris, I'll check it out. Cheers.

@YankeeWoodcraft 6 месяцев назад

@@outdoorempirecom I noticed that by the end of the vid. And I think you're going to LOVE that Tegimen. I'm not knocking that Temu, but there's another OneTigris tent that's like a Whelen Tent with a full open side and that barely weighs 3lbs and that's HUGE for the same price as that Temu unbranded version. It's called the "OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow". It's not a hot tent, but you can have a fire going just outside of it with the awning up to collect the heat in.

Great reviews. Like any heater it takes a bit of testing to know how much to load it, how long and hot it will burn.

Being the cheapest on TEMU seems to me to be entry-level gear. If you want to try winter camping for the first time this would be a low cost way to go. If it turns out that you don't like it you're not out that much money. When you but the cheapest of anything you can't expect the same quality and longevity as a similar product that costs 2, 3, or 4 times as much. This was a well presented video so I subscribed. Keep it up !

Use them for a few weeks and see if it lasts. I bought a 10ft x 10ft hot tent for about $300 and it lasted less than a week before it started to come apart. If it rained even a little water got in and it said waterproof. It's better to just buy a $5-800 tent and have it last than keep buying cheap tents.

What was the temperature? If it was a rain /snow mix it wasn’t too cold out. Start getting around 0F and things change quick. I think that stove will still work fine in that tent. The size and shape of that shelter makes a difference. It’s not tall and the angle will make it so there’s not a ton of heat up high and all cold air down low.

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

You're right, it wasn't too chilly. Maybe 20F as a low on the ground and I think it was warmer up in the clouds which could explain the ice rain.

Considering I have to live like this I love seeing these types of videos. One of the main things I can see right off of the bat is how thin the walls are. Personally I perfer an insulated tent. Usually no matter what tent it is extra layers such as an insulated tarp is generally required when you start hitting -15*C to -20*C temps. My structure is two summer tents joined together, layered with wool blankets sandwiched between tarps. I also have it sitting on pallets and stuffed a bunch of pine bows around the pallets then allowed the snow to bank on it and seal it off. I'm running propane heat. Without running any heat at all My improvised structure will not even go below zero until it goes beyond -5*C outside. In -20*c weather I still only have to "bump heat". Run the heater for 5mins shut it down for 30 mins or more before the temp starts to drop and have to run the heat again. Only thing is when your structure is insulated and sealed condenstation will become an issue, (especially using propane heat), so a vent and fan is usually an requirement for actually living in one. Thanks for the video. I may buy that wood stove.

@coachwill 6 месяцев назад

So far the gear ive gotten on Temu seems to be of decent quality and has overall good stitching and looks similar to other brands. Maybe a little stiff where it should be more flexible or a little weaker in the supposed strong areas but overall usable and priced at a good pojt but not something that would make me stop buying quality brands gear. Especially tactical type gear. For atuff like camp lights and cooking sets it seems like they work great. I'm certainly intrigued in the hot tent and stove set up but I have never been one to loke flames in tents. I'd personally find a way to use it in conjunction with a tarp setup or a canvas tent.

i thought the chimney pipe needed guy wires in case of wind, good video

@outdoorempirecom 4 месяца назад

That is a good idea. It wasn't windy on this trip so I didn't bother.

Awesome review. Pretty impressive purchases considering the price. Does the floor insert come with it and did I understand correctly that the fire mat is built into the floor insert?

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

Yes and yes. I was impressed by that for the price.

Please, please review some kind of budget hammock option. If there is anything comparable to the "Draumr AMOK", I want to know about it.

Sounds interesting and maybe I will sometime. Personally, I'm not really a hammock guy so I might not have much unique insight about one, but why not!

If they make quality products shoot for lightweight products durable to last I think they have a market here. I hate to think that we’re buying everything from China though but if American companies need to buy their fabrics and parts from China to build their products here, maybe that’s the way to go. With the economy the way it is which is good. A lot of us still don’t make enough money to survive let alone by expensive. American made backpacking gear so we need a place like Temu and Amazon. But that’s a great winter camp combo . I prefer the TP hot tent with the inner mesh bug half tent in inside from Amazon. Great job though. Great video my friend. Looking forward to the next one.

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

Great feedback, thanks for sharing! I agree, it's hard to find affordable outdoor gear outside of places like Amazon and Temu anymore. More often than not, even the gear from American companies is made in China too.

@jimmyphoenix931 6 месяцев назад

Great review. I’ve watched a lot of others when deciding what new tent to order and they do an ok job, don’t change the way you do you reviews. Showing the item and then discussing it. I currently use a teepee but always looking to try something different. Will be ordering this one to try, looks like you get a-lot for the price.

Ya this was a calm night, I'll keep an eye out for that. Might have to orient the tent in the right direction, but those extra guy lines that came with it will help.

I have the same stove but purchased on amazon. Onpy complain is that i have to trim down wood if i buy a bundle. But it warms my tent up and its about 3x the size of that one

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

Good to know that it's good for a bigger tent. It is annoying to have to trim down wood.

@lorij3786 6 месяцев назад

I live on alberta, Canada, currently this week it is -58F, I would never use it mid winter, mostly early spring to late fall. My biggest worry is rain though. I am wondering how well it does in rain? I watch a lot of Kent survival and TO outdoors and really want to get back into tenting (with a tent big enough for a cot as I am handicapped) but I am only 4’10” so I don’t need a tall tent but probably min 4 man tent. It would be lovely to see this review done in a summer long rain weekend (or overnight). Think I’ll give your channel some support. I’m a cooking channel/review international military mre’s and want to add camping but my other half has just been diagnosed with stage 4 congestive heart failure so I’m not uploading right now but have time to watch.

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

Very interesting, that is for sharing! I haven't had this tent in real rain yet besides that ice rain that night, but I'm curious as well. Best of luck to you and your partner. God bless.

@BodhiTheBohoHobo 5 месяцев назад

I enjoyed watching your review. I ordered something from Temu. I was charged immediately. The product did arrive until 45 days later. Most places do not charge until product is shipped. Not sure if I will order from Temu again.

@outdoorempirecom 5 месяцев назад

True, I noticed the same thing.

@BodhiTheBohoHobo 5 месяцев назад

An interesting business model. .Pay up front and no delivery for 45 days and collect interest. then again, the price cannot be beat. I could have created my ownen wood stove in the same time frame. Maybe...cheers!

Send me an email with the link and I'll consider it. Email address on my channel page or website.

@gregoryfoster8179 6 месяцев назад

Pretty cool actually. I've been getting some TEMU ads lately so recently researched them a bit. Similar assessment as what you give. Decent quality but a little less than top notch. I had decided to try some of their stuff soon but hadn't yet. That tent and stove is a nice bargain though. The way things have been going lately I may be living in a tent next winter.

@outdoorempirecom 6 месяцев назад

@linus631 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the excellent tent/stove review. I'll share some info about Temu and the camping equipment on it as well. Temu is a offshoot of PDD holdings (Pinduoduo Inc) a NASDAQ traded company, it's also one of the largest e-commerce company in China, kind of their ver. of Amazon, Specializes in inexpensive but good quality everyday goods. Temu is their intl. offshoot, so they're used to dealing with huge sales volume at affordable prices. The products on it, are generally great for the price point, though some are better deals than others, along with few bad apples. Naturehike is one of biggest outdoor/camping equipment brand in China, (kind of their Ver. Of Coleman) based in the coastal city of Ningbo, in the province of Zhejiang. As china became more developed in recent decades, their people became more affluent, Outdoor sports/Camping became quite popular there, if one travel through their National Parks & their campgrounds, will see Naturehike products quite often, hence the generally good quality. What we see on Amazon or Temu are just a fraction of their entire products line up, usually selling by a 3rd party e-retailer, just as Toyota don't sell their entire line up in US, there's many Toyota cars we never even heard of outside of Japan, cater to their domestic mkt but not intl mkt. The World is changing fast before our eyes, China's Domestic Brands products quality are improving everyday, not just on camping gear but across the broad. It's similar to Japan went from 70s-80s cheap cars & goods to 90s-00s fair & fine quality products at affordable price. Pretty soon they'll become internationally recognizable brands & dominant players. If 5 years ago, someone tells me a Chinese Brand company makes the world's best ultralight titanium backpacking stove, I did say you're lying, but now everyone seriously about backpacking heard of BRS stove. A brave new world we live in.
