Winter camping / Pomoly Chalet 70 hot tent 1st use 

The chair pad works! Well! That is the beauty of a packable stove kit that only weighs 3.2lbs! I absolutely love this stove. The Chalet....not so much haahahaha

@@ItsGoodintheWoods lol that stove size is crazy.

🤣 Seemed like the best thing to do at the time!

I can't say I am surprised by the results of this tent. The Minipeak XL is far superior. That chair mod is awesome! It works very well. That was one big fish. It keeps getting bigger every time I tell the story! ! lol

It is a great tent. Way better than this 6lb heap of trash lol

Awesome! Thank you for your support of the channel. Much appreciated!

I'm honored! Thank you for your support

This tent is going to claim a lot of sleeping bags LOL

LOL! I absolutely love this backpack! Thanks Kevin Happy New Year man

Hahahaha! It is comical!

Nice fresh socks are quite the reward! This was a fun trip. We do have some beautiful landscape out this way! I love it here

I hear ya. That doesn't happen here. I have received gear at no cost, but I have to put work into using it, filming it and giving an honest review and editing it. It takes time. That said, I sugar coat nothing. And that is why I don't continue to get free stuff. I do not give favorable reviews for gear that is given to me for review.

@@ItsGoodintheWoods and that's why we love you. 👍

@@davidmodeland429 Much appreciated

@@ItsGoodintheWoods That’s why I watch your content. Honest and enjoyable.

@@crazyhorsejohnny1974 Thank you for your support

NH is a beautiful state! I love it here.

Yep, real small, and heavy for its size. I would not recommend this tent to anyone. There's gonna be a lot of sleeping bags getting burnt in this tent.......

LOL! Exactly! That was a big fish!

A Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you .

A Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you. Perhaps our paths will cross someday

@@ItsGoodintheWoods nice! I don’t have one yet but Luxe should start sending you kickbacks because I’m getting a minipeak xl because of your reviews!

NH is a beautiful state. It isn't very big, but it has a lot to offer. I enjoy it here. Each season is just long enough. Enjoy that Octopeak !!!

Sounds like we are in for some of the same weather as you Thursday and Friday! I am heading out as well! Enjoy your wintery weather!!!!!

You absolutely made the right choice. I can't quite wrap my head around the thought process of this tent. Small, heavy, a complex pitch with too many stake out points....there are so many better options out there today. I am very happy that the content of this channel helped you in that decision. That is one of the main reasons I make these type of videos. To give honest specs and details, sprinkled with a bit of my opinion from the experience I have with them, to help people decide what will work best for them. Too many people are getting gear for free and singing its praise. While options are good, and everyone has their opinion, this tent is far outperformed by other options in the same price range. I would not recommend this tent to anyone. This tent is going to burn a lot of sleeping bags LOL

Thank you very much!

Thank you. Small tent. LOL Too small

@@ItsGoodintheWoods as someone who is similar height to you, I appreciate it big time! 👍

@@P4NMAN You are welcome!

I do! I did this one a while ago. Such a great tent system. Here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0MBtq4IGQto.html

It is so much fun!

Thank you

Hey Pete! How are you doing ? Happy New Year to you !

You betcha Peter ! Happy New Year,

Is the stove hut really that small?! That is unfortunate. This tent is much too small. Real tight

The steak was perfect! Watch the video and make a ground sheet for your chair! Worth it!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods gotta man, i was hunting this season with mine as i was making my shot it sank in and dumped me out I popped up and took a neck shot missing 🤣

I'll have to check out your chair mod video 👍

A worthwhile modification

That is an awesome gift!!! It is so nice to have space in a hot tent.

A sad winter here so far as well. But we do have a little something. I hear we have some wintery weather on the way for the weekend ........!

Thank you. Much appreciated. It does look cool, but this tent is garbage. I don't like anything about it other than the way it looks.

You are close.....I have to say though, in the 15 or so years I have been frequenting that area, I have never, not once seen a snowmobile out there , or even a snowmobile track for that matter. But it is flat and well used, making travel easy. I have had my eye on Seek Outside tents for years. I would really like one, but the price is hard to justify. I will end up with one eventually, I'm sure o f it. I absolutely love their stove

@@ItsGoodintheWoods I have a winter hammock tarp in DCF. I thought about putting a stove jack in it, but DCF apparently melts easily. I would like a hammock tarp with a stove jack, made in the USA, but I think that a teepee shape helps prevent condensation. Maybe there's a Venturi effect that accelerates the airflow from bottom to top when heat is introduced at the bottom. I'm surprised how much condensation I get under my tarp with the doors buttoned up. The lack of a full floor allows ground moisture to rise up and condense on the underside of the tarp in temperatures near and below freezing, especially when it's pitched down to the ground.

Yes we do need to get together sometime. Speaking of which.....as of about 5 minutes ago dates have just been confirmed....you will be hearing from me soon man! Hilltop Packs rocks!!!

Cold tenting!!! LOL

Thank you for your support. I am glad you like the videos!

Yes it is!

Thank you Donny

Tim is a good dude! Funny! I would like a hammock set up like that. But historically I don't sleep well in a hammock. I can't bring myself to spend all that money on a system and possibly not like it. I need to get my hands on one to try .... Can't go wrong with a MPXL! A fantastic tent A Happy new year to you and yours!

Going the Hammock route is a pretty big leap of faith for me too Justin, but I had to give it a try cuz after my kayak trip on the CT River and camping on that little island, I realized me and the ground just don’t get along like we used to but I want to keep camping and doing more backpacking. Maybe investing in a better pad would have been a wiser and a whole lot cheaper option but I’ve always liked the idea of the hammock so I jumped in with both feet. If I don’t like it maybe I’ll do a giveaway or find some youngster who wants to get into hammock camping. Hopefully I’ll like it cuz I got another Island camping collab planned for this Fall up on Umbagog ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oAHkBuwrklk.html

Thank you. This tent is a definite no go for me

A good place to go test some gear.! Now when you go , don't tell everyone where you are. Our secret LOL

@@ItsGoodintheWoods oh that goes without saying brother. I like to go on a Wed. Lol wasn't a soul there or anywhere else for that matter.

The repurposed Jim Beam bottle is a great idea! Mine is a Nalgene that is probably 3 times heavier LOL. And yours is pre filled !!! Score on the HP gift card! What a great gift. That steak was incredible man! Perfection! The groundsheet for the chair is an awesome mod and Long live the patch! I hear we have good wintery weather on the way for the weekend....may you get some too!

Oops, didn't realize that nalgene made a flask. I saw someone else reuse a smaller 200 ml fireball bottle and thought it was a great idea. They come prefilled and you can refill them with something better if you choose.

@@Doc_Watson Hahahahaha! Definitely needs to be refilled with something better

@@Doc_Watson It is a pretty awesome flask. True to Nalgene style....rugged AF

much much too small. Not a fan. The Manta looks quite large!

100% agreed. In my experience with both brands, it is my opinion that Luxe puts more quality into their tents

Rain just above freezing can be a tricky situation. No McDonalds for breakfast this time. I knew there was some good food waiting at home.....point a to point b...no stops in between! LOL

She's a beauty

Thank you. I can see where people might think it would be a good tent for kids....but.....I don't think it would be good for kids at all. On top of being small, it is heavy for its size, and there are a lot of motions required for set up. There are a lot of tents out there that are lighter, easier to set up and offer more space. I really do think this one to be a dud when compared to other options out there.

@@ItsGoodintheWoods no no no that's not what i meant lol. I would take that out in the back yard and set it up for my grandkids to sleep in if they wanted to. Not for them to set up lol.

@@jeffjackson5331 Ahhhh I see. Yes, this would make a good kiddie tent hahahahahaha!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods yep!

Good eye Earl! This tent is much too small

As soon as I get some dry weather

You are going to love that MPXL. A fantastic tent

The same to you and your family! Thank you

When I put my boots in my bag, it only takes a few minutes for me to generate enough heat to be comy. I hardly notice it. If it is actually real cold out, I will boil water, put it in a nalgene and put that down with the boots. Works wonders. The extra work and time is worth it when you are putting on nice warm boots in the morning. Try it. Thank me later LOL. I put all kinds of stuff in my bag with me. , the next days clothes, socks I want to dry out, batteries, head lamps.....whatever I need to keep warm or dry out (socks, gloves, hats). In the bag it goes I would send you the tent, but I worked out other plans for it yesterday. sorry

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks dir the great infor. I was teasing about your tent! 😃

Thank you. I have made my own beef and venison jerky many times. Good stuff!

A Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you

LOL! Good times! I hear the tent leaks as well. I'm not going to use this tent again, so I won't be able to confirm that

Almost 6 lbs of single wall cramped space, garbage. It was fun to use. It is the only real way to know. I'm probably using it wrong, it's all about the skillz hahahahahahaha Always a great time man! See you on the next one

@@ItsGoodintheWoods You betcha !

Would you ever consider making a video about what you do when you get home to keep all your gear dry and clean and ready for your next trip

@@theweekendhomestead Good idea Will ! Although it’s not very exciting ! Hang it up in the basement or my garage, then put it away 😳👍

This is easily by far, hands down, the worst hot tent I have ever used. I think they really missed the mark on this one. I still have it. If you live in the USA I will send it to you. Contact me by email if you would like it.

@@ItsGoodintheWoods I live in maine will email you.

@@ItsGoodintheWoods I am even smaller then you and when don’t need a stove or have a mini stove might work for me

Mark, the Minipeak XL is perfect for canoe camping,and lighter than the Chalet. Your going to really enjoy that. Cheers

Definitely!

This tent weighs almost 6 lbs. It weighs 1.5lbs more than the MPXL. There is nothing lightweight about this tent, except its design and function. Better off in every way with the MPXL

@@ItsGoodintheWoods True !

Thank you! I had considered it.I think I havre found a new home for it

This tent is garbage. Too small, too heavy for its size, too complicated to set up, too many stake out points. There are so many better options out there

I thought the same, maybe if it were larger...but, then it would be even heavier. Making it much much heavier than other tents with the same , similar or even more space. I think it to be a bad design, easily outperformed by other options.

Oh it'll get used.....just not by me LOL

I have no say over what commercials they are using. You are right though, it is not a competition. All about getting outside, doing something cool, enjoying it all and sharing the experience!

It's different for you Southern folk! lol

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Yes I know, I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB Rapid City SD and it was sooo cold in the winter time. Summers were extremely hot too. Lol

@@SeniorHiker77 That sounds rough.

I looked at the stove hut. Thought about it and held back. It looks cool, but I wasn't quite sold on the overall design. Too many valleys and angles for my liking, and the weight. It is much too heavy for what I am looking for. Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated

Thanks Sarge. I don't like this tent. This was a one and done situation for me. I'll never use it again. LOL Gotta have good food man !

Good choice on the MPXL! Congrats. That is a nice stove, just keep in mind, that weight is for the stove alone. I bet it's close to 2 lbs heavier with the pipe and carry case. I have the Pomoly Traveler stove. Claimed weight 3.3 lbs. The stove is right on the money, 3.3lbs. But the whole set up weighs 5 lbs. On this trip I was carrying my Seek Outside Large titanium stove. It's an awesome stove. Bigger than the stove you are considering, and half the weight. The whole kit, everything you need for use, is 3.2 lbs. I put in a glass door, that brings the weight up to 3.6 lbs. It is awesome. Room is good. I was looking at that onetigris you speak of, That thing looks large. I am considering it as well, but it is currently out of stock.....

@@ItsGoodintheWoods thanks for the helpful insights! Now I see OneTigris has 2 hammock hot tents! The Tegimen and the ROCDomus! I am now really liking the later model due to all the configurations that can be had. I really like the awning mode for great weather or it can by pinned to the ground for hot tenting!

I only get drunk before setting up on the real ambitious trips hahahahahahaha!

Hot tenting is a ton of fun! I would be interested in a meetup. Always good to meet likeminded people

Hahahahaha! Yep. I love this bag. I have been using it quite a few years now. It is awesome. From what I have seen, I am noticing some trends with their lightweight tent offerings. A little more thought and attention to details could go a long way. I hope to see that in the future. Their stoves are obviously very high quality!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods good to hear!!(=

@@Canadian_Craftsman I can't speak for their quilts. Quilts are overrated LOL

This was at the Franconia brook tent site

Extremely comical

You would be absolutely miserable.

Thank you

Good eye. Now don't tell anyone lol

I know the Pemigewasett better than any other place on the planet.

@@jdcorry6965 It is a beautiful area. The PW is an amazing wilderness area

Ben, I know right ? That’s one awesome backpack that Justin has, I gotta find me one of those ! I wonder where he got it? He talks very highly of it,all the time ! lol, hope you’re well man !

@@MeetMeOutside like the new channel name!

@@BenMcmillen Thank you sir !

I am getting this thing dialed in for my winter system! I was a bit surprised at how much stuff I can fit in there. I love this backpack. That whole load out was just a hair over 30 lbs! The bag handled it with ease

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Yes indeed !

I have already given this tent away
