TURNING AN ICE TENT INTO A HOT TENT!! | SUB-ARCTIC OVERNIGHT TEST!! 

Your dog is adorable, and I love the fact she also has a cosy outfit!

Just did my first winter camping weekend using a popup ice shelter. Need to get my stove jack in yet, but it's almost luxurious accommodations.

my family have recently discovered your videos! they're great! our 7 yo son enjoys them a lot!

I always wanted to try winter camping. I'm inspired now. Thank you.

2:10 The dog is funny. He wants to go where you're going. :)

Your dog is a real gem. Great company. Great guard dog too. I bet

Thanks Brother for the investment and the tips. Especially on the Welding Blanket and Velcro Flute Shield. Good ideas brother. Also beautiful dog ya have. Seems loyal

Awesome Chuck! Only thing that could have been better was if you actually set it up on a little brook trout lake! Really enjoy your stuff! Thanks for taking us along! Willow is a great pup!

Thanks for protecting Willow!

Your dog is adorable. She clearly loves you.

Putting a damper in the chimney pipe will let you control the burn and temperature better.

Your dog loves you so much. I can tell you are good dog owner.

Looks good! Nothing beats an ice fishing tent for a winter hot tent. Great vid my fellow Canadian. Cheers!

Great ideas on how to survive the cold

Your dog is awesome.👍

Just a tip for ya that may make life easier. You can take your saw and squeeze it between your legs while putting force downwards and take the tree and move the wood instead of the saw. Cuts time in half (pun intended)

Fantastic video sir!! I'm looking for a tent for winter camping. This is an option for sure. Thanks for sharing. Got a thumbs up from me. Willow is a sweet dog.

You had me at moose steaks. Lol

Thought it was funny when you were eating the rice and the expression on the dogs face definitely matched what you wrote!!! Lol

If it was possible, & similar material, it would be better to flip the tent inside out, or paint the outside black. That way it would absorb sunlight & warm it up if you didn't have an oven inside

Awesome video. I can’t wait to move back to Canada and do the same setup in winter. Thanks for sharing.

Extremely good camping

Another good one chuck!

Great setup and great video. You really do know your stuff and you're well equipped. This is the type of camping video that I've been looking for. Everything is well thought, filming is good and a really adorable and curious dog. Keep up the good work sir! I really enjoyed every second of this video.

Sheesh, I wanted to eat that meal almost as much as your pup, looked good. Nice video, I enjoyed it a lot.

Je veux essayer ça cet hiver sinon au printemps, je m'équipe petit à petit. Je n ai pas encore la tente, mais malgré la multitude de " tentes chaude " (hot tent) sur le marché, j ai décider qu'elle serait comme ou semblable à la vôtre. J aime bien les conseils que vous avez fourni avec ce vidéo, malgré le peu de connaissance en anglais, j ai compris ce qui était important Merci pour ce vidéo.

NIce video. The only thing that I was concerned about was the lack of a spark arrestor, but I suppose it's winter time, probably nothing to worry about I guess.

i never thought about an ice fishing tent.. but it makes sense.

Man would love for a company that makes Ice Hub Tents to offer this option for the chimney port. I know it's a straightforward modification but I worry of some kind of malfunction down the road.

Super wicked awesome! I was just thinking the other day about putting a wood stove in my ice tent! Great job!

Very good video. I don't camp but it looked cozy and warm to me.

I always wondered if you could do this or how well it would insulate. I love that you can pop the tent up under a minute. Liked and subscribed

Great video. I'm surprised I didn't find you earlier. Cheers from Alberta.

I like that you mentioned all of the emergency gear, especially that SPOT satellite device and people being aware of your location and plans. And I'm glad Willow had a shirt and coat on. One needs to keep the pets safety and comfort in mind as well. Very informative video. I wonder what moose tastes like?

Beauty set up.

With how cold it is up there, you wouldn't catch me outside without a beard haha. Great video :)

Funny thing where I live we call em Flatlanders, I guess you'd call em city folk. Been wanting an ice fishing shanty for a good minute. Iorny being, we have no traversable ice, I don't really fish in the winter, my fish buddies half hibernate and my favorite fisheries shut down for the winter. Cheers friend.

Seems to have worked out fair. Nice experiment.

I have never seen one of your videos before and I’m subscribing in a minute and 50 seconds

Excellent.

You can't have it better than that, I don't think!

Awesome.. Looks beautiful.. Love your dog..

I would never have thought you could put the smoke stack in the tree without burning the forest down.

Awesome job was thinking of doing something like this and you made this project a lot easier for me to attack thanks

I love the dog

Hello from North Carolina, USA. I’ve always wanted to try the style of camping (currently own a motorhome and do summer time camping with the family.). The video was done very nicely, I subscribed to you and look forward to more videos. Have you considered manufacturing a tent like that and selling it? Maybe sell the stove with it as a package deal. It is a lot of work, Believe me I know.

Do you lose heat not having a bottom, I realize a tarp could go on the bottom but it's not the same because I'm thinking of living outside this winter in Canadian weather my health is not good, I don't cold to a certain degree, another question can you get your tent at least 18 degrees because that would be a great temperature for me

Highly enjoyed your video, especially the dog. I do like how you rigged up the ice fishing tent for the stove. Question...what size is the ice fishing tent?

I love your channel, i just subscribe. What kind of snowshoe are you using ?

CHUCK YOU NEED ONE OF THOSE 18VOT ELECTRIC CHAINSAWS

Being from Manitoba i get the cold part and as i ice fish and propane can be deceiving as i have found out i love this ! Where did you get the window skirting for the stove pipe ? Thinking i might get one and try the stove instead of propane

Solar pop up lights would be great to use at night, they are on amazon.com

Great video

Your stove pipe is still too close to the screen and tent material. The stove-jack allows you to cut out a larger section of the tent so that only the fireproof material is close to the stovepipe... not the tent or the mesh. Be careful.

Hello Chuck just found your channel today and I am supporting your channel. Here in Thunder Bay we do as much hot tenting as we can in the winter months and some rabbit hunting as well, but this year we have so much snow it makes travel in the forest tough. Nice video and look forward to watching more...Cheers Fred

What type of knot are you using at 10:50 ? It seems useful to know.

Great videos!

anyone else here for the bonus of his eastern accent....eh boy? living in alberta this is definitely a try it

Hi Chuck: I just discovered your channel & I really enjoyed it ! A question: Would you consider a 'Spark Arrester" ? I noticed Bushcraft Bartons made one with what appeared to be Window Screen and was shaped like a sock & folded flat for storage.

How do you control the moisture problem? Those ice fishing shelters don't breath like a canvas tent.

Amazing video.....here in the uk....life it’s just too easy.....cheers.

Nice video.

It is extremely rare that I subscribe. I have just subscribed to you. I am looking at buying an ice fishing tent that looks identical to yours. And I want to do pretty much exactly what you have done. I live in an earthquake zone. Assuming I survive the quake, I want to have a nice warm spot to sleep and wait out the recovery. I will not go to a public "shelter". Could you tell us where you bought the tent? Also, could you provide some details on the stove jack. That is probably the simplest one I have ever seen. Does it have a brand name? Available on ebay? Any complaints about the quality of your tent in general? Thanks.

With a tent with no floor wouldn't the snow melt and the ground get muddy?

Thoroughly enjoyable vid! Thanks much for making it and sharing. Although it does kinda makes me feel like a real weenie for grumblin' bout +20F temps here in NC! Hehehe. d;^)

Enjoyed your video

great job ,very nice video...

I’m a “cat” guy and randomly came across this video. I may be a dog guy now. What type of dog is Willow and and can I go just buy one of her at my local Walmart?

Are you Irish chuck?? You sound so Irish sometimes when you talk. I'm from liverpool uk and new sub

liked and subscribed

I need info on small portable Scooter

SUPER 🇸🇪

I love the dog throughout the whole set up "dad, whatcha doin?... what're you doin now?... you're supposed to chew the sticks dad...." she's adorable.

Great video

That dog is absolutely adorable. Love the tent setup with the stove - so cosy! Very nice video. Greetings from Germany!

Very nice set up... I share all my food always, with my bulldog... As long as it's healthy for him, especially when he uses his big brown puppy dog eyes...

Hi. Nice set-up. Your dog is stealing your show.

Loved the part with you sitting by the warm fire, eating with your dog the best! Thanks for posting!

I've never experienced more less than -10°C, so -28°C must be really f-ing cold❄️😐 Also, thank you for putting the temps in celsius too✌️

Great to stumble across your channel! Remember looking at my pop-up shack which is probably the same size as yours and wondering how that could be adapted. That a welding blanket and stove jack was all that was needed in those temps is all the proof in the pudding I need, excellent video, nice dog in the Big Land. ATB from eastern Manitoba, north of 50.

Not sure if you figured this out or not, but that style of tent will fold in onto itself after a snow fall, so I suggest threading a rope through to top centre ring on the outside and then tie each end to a tree to keep that from happening. Looks like an awesome couple days spent with your dog. I better go find something to do outside now.

Only thing I see to watch out for, if you expect it to snow, bring a pole to prop up the center of the roof. It's not very fun when the damn thing collapses on you.

Hey thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it and it made me remember fondly when I used to winter camp in the Black Hills of South Dakota 45 years ago. I had very little money so I would ski in somewhere with everything I needed in my backpack. I had a nylon two-man backpacking tent that really only had enough room for me and my gear. I had a cheapo sleeping bag (not down filled) and a blanket and for heat I had a tiny Primus backpacking stove which ran on white gas (Coleman fuel). There is zero room for error when you have fire in a tiny nylon tent (and I was crazy to do it), so I just kind of sat hunched over the stove and moving VERY carefully. Cooking was an exercise in caution but I managed to have some delicious meals. I had to turn off the stove when I slept, so it got chilly when the temp was around zero f. It was a lot of fun, but I admit I would have loved to have a setup like yours, and a good dog like Willow!

I can just see someone seeing your ice hut/tent in the woods and say.......those People from Newfoundland are not allowed to ice fish in the woods.....and out you come with a nice big Cod or something. Lol, it will happen and would make for a hilarious video. 😂. Great video, love your dog and would love to meet you someday. Be safe.

Great video, especially the Moose meat with Onions. Perfect way to end the evening with a nice hot plate of wild meat just add fried sliced potatoes and walla 👌

OMG!!!! I had to make a bowl of Ramen noodles when y'all were eating that moose steak!!!! Now that's living it up Rich Style!!!! Awesome video!!!!

Love that willow gets you go with you. So wish I had supplies to go winter tenting camping. It looks cold but also like so much peaceful time. Alone time can be fun.

Love how prepared you were when you went back to spend the night. Very smart, you gotta be when you're somewhere that extreme

Greetings from London. I love the manner in which your dog is always getting the snug spot by the fire or on your cot 🐕

I like the improvising. I am always looking for less expensive ways to do things.

great job Chuck. Worst part of sleeping in the tent is making sure your sleeping bag is better than the ones you are with so they have to stoke the stove.

I luv your Sweet Darling pup, she's a beauty. It's amazing how she jumps up on that sled mobile with you. She must get a bit chilly with the Wind on it though you think ? Draping a blanket over her on it could probably be a bit dangerous if it fell off whilst in motion, getting tangled etc.. anyway I just subbed. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and plan on binge watching for a couple hours on this Rainy Sunday afternoon lol. REALLY Love Willow so much, Gorgeous pup. Oh and the tent too btw lol..

Awesome video Chuck. I’m definitely going to try this type of winter camping. Thanks for all the great tips.

Great video - nothing beats good old wood heat when it gets really cold. Here is a little tip for you: when you assemble your stove pipes, turn them around so that the crimped "male end" is on the bottom. That way the creosote will run down the inside of the pipe and not leak out the edge of the pipes onto your tent.

I will preface this by saying that I HATE WINTER...but do enjoy watching videos of how folks keep warm and sustain themselves in the frigid elements...nice video friend, and what a sweetheart of a dog you have there...one question: why bring a big cooler for your food when Mother Nature has the freezer turned way down?

I make my hot drink outta pine needles...chock full of vitamin c

Love those pop-up tents. I'm just trying to decide which one I want to add to my stash. Nice set-up you have there (snowmobile). Looks like you did a fine job on that stove, might wander on over to eyeball that video as well. Nothing beats a good dog. Thanks for sharing.

Great video got a Austrian shepherd mix he is my camping buddy too🐕 also looks at me the same way when eating 🤣. Enjoyed the video you got a new subscriber

this is just awesome. the calm is something that we lost in city life. enjoyed watching. thanks.

I think 10 staples would’ve worked, my man used 100
