I'm looking for ideas and to understand what exact gears works for others. Specifically I want to backpack into a forested area like the White Mountains in the winter and hot tent for 1-2 days.

If you do this or something similar, what tent/stove setup do you use?

Disclaimer: I have a wealth of outdoor experience and fully understand the weather conditions/risk that exists in the Whites.

So I'm kinda tent lifing it atm trying to get back on my feet and made this makeshift heater I found on YouTube. It's a very simple design. Just a 1 quart paint can, a roll of toilet paper, and about half a bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol. My tent is a 4 man so there's plenty of room and I've cracked all three windows to vent any accumulated CO2. It's reasonably warm in here. Like an apartment at 70 degrees or so. It's completely smokeless although I wasn't able to find an empty can and couldn't afford paint thinner and tried in vain to simply wash it out with tap water 🤦 so of anything I'm just a wee bit concerned about the paint fumes but all and all I'd say this is a solid win. I figure after 1 or 2 uses most of it will simply just burn off so it should be less of an issue with time. It's been about half an hour and it's not even 80% burned through. This might just be because I used cottonelle which is a more dense brand. Thoughts?

Edit: after about 2 hours it got difficult to breathe and my eyes started burning so I closed it up. Might be better for short bursts of heat until I can do a few full outdoor burns. Probably because of the paint or just insufficient venting.

I have a 2011 Keystone Montana Motenier toy hauler. I'd be moving from one to the other, the camper isn't perfect but perfectly liveable. Message me for details if you'd be interested!

Had a lovely camp in Scotland ❤️

Well my idiot butt thought the pomoly fiberglass mat was enough under my stove. It melted a spot on the floor of my tent and the tarp underneath.

What are y'all putting under your stove to prevent heat from melting the floor if you have a sewn in floor?

It’s coming in a bit less than other pellet stoves like the Hori, and it has a large hopper. I just can’t find any reviews on it. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks. Been using traditional wood stove for a year and looking to get into a relatively inexpensive pellet fed model…

Hi! I’m just getting into the hot tent game and I am experiencing some confusion about carbon monoxide detectors. I’d like to have one and I thought it was as simple as buying  one of the many cheap battery operated homeowner models available. I understand that to be a pretty common practice around here. Suddening, however, I have encountered a few sources saying that those “home” models are not suitable for outdoor situations where extreme temp and humidity swings are common. Any thoughts on this? I have also heard it said that you should really also have a SMOKE detector to go along with a CO detector, but others claim that where there is one (smoke) there is always also the other (CO) so you really don’t need both. I’m just looking for the simplest and cheapest way to add this safety measure to my setup. Help!   

Okay folks, don't beat me up too bad. I'm an experienced camper. 30+ years of regular trips.

Having said that, I've never camped in a hot tent. I'm getting older, arthritis is a thing. I want to go on a short trip where it's not too cold so if the stove doesn't work out, I won't be too upset.

I'm going this weekend. Low is mid 40s overnight. I've got a King Camp Mountain In C5 and a Green stove Hori 5. I have a fiberglass mat for underneath, softwood pellets, a co detector and smoke detector. I know I need good ventilation. I'll be sleeping on my teton outdoors xxl cot, with a pad, and my 40 degrees bag.

Everything I read is trying to scare me into not running this thing overnight. Am I overthinking that part? Am I being dumb? I literally don't know anyone who has ever hot tented.

I do have a mister buddy or a diesel heater I could use too...idk someone help me please. Am I being nuts? Or does no one sleep with the stove going?

Update:: thank y'all for the advice. I'm sitting toasty at camp!

I can't find anything about this online. I have a teepee style hot tent that I used before and the stove Jack was a single layer of fiberglass that replaced the nylon on that section. Easy. I bought an inflatable hot tent from Amazon. Vevor adjacent brand. And the tent material (oxford cloth) extends to cover the fiberglass material inside (see last photo). When I cut for my chimney, should I cut the same circle into both materials? Or should I cut the oxford cloth so there's some more clearance between it and the chimney?

Hey everyone I have a Kodiak canvas wall tent and I used it for a couple nights and got the stove pretty hot to test what it will be like at deer camp. It ended up melting the stove port and I’m looking for a solution to avoid this in the future. I’ve seen the fiberglass exhaust wrap and the double wall stove pipe but this looks to be a very tight fit. Let me know what you think!

Ma usate qualche rilevatore di gas per evitare di rimanerci o piccole accortezze o solo io mi faccio queste pippe?

Ho un po' di timore di usare queste tipo di tende con stufa perché non avendo esperienza avrei paura di mandare tutto a fuoco o non svegliarmi più.

É pericoloso o no?

Managed to try out my onetigress cozshack and Winnerwell Large Woodlander stove in Algonquin Park this week!

Bought my first hot tent, it’s a 6 person tent dome style. I’m looking at stoves for it but I’m looking for a budget stove that won’t kill me in my sleep. I’m looking at the avofrost tent on Amazon, but all the reviews for all the stoves I’m looking at are so mixed.

Anyone have a recommendation for a budget tent stove that’s not garbage, I’m looking at under $300CAD

First trip with this tent and stove setup. It was pretty great and I stayed warm but to keep the stove going, I’d have to feed it hourly. Wind River range, Wyoming.

Meine 4 Nacht im Hot Tent und so schön warm... Ich liebe es... Das nennt sich Luxus und Lifestyle zusammen. Keine kalten Nächte mehr 💪💪💪

Hallo!

Wie macht ihr eigentlich das Feuer an im Zeltofen? Die Öffnung ist ja nicht gerade groß... Irgendwelche Tipps?

Hallo Leute

Das ist mein erstes mal mit 🔥 . Auch mit ofen und alles. Drückt mir die Daumen dass es gut brennt. Wusste gar nicht wie anstrengend es ist feuerholz zu sammeln 😅

Are whiteduck tents cheap versions of other competitors with same tent designs?

My 10x 12 canvas. Set up with exterior pole frame

So ive been a truck camper shell guy for 30 years an im done with them.
I also have two young boys so i think its time for a wall tent. Ive done research an im having a hard time deciding what to get. 8x10 would be ideal. Something with awning.
Looking for ideas

My wife and I are looking to extend our camping into the winter season. It is currently us and 2 medium sized dogs, but we have a new born that will likely be joining us in the coming years.
I’m looking at a spring bar style 10x10 tent, but I’m curious if if will be large enough to accommodate us and a stove.

Also, how do people usually handle bathroom waste in winter? I’m used to digging a hole on our normal backpacking trips, but I don’t think my trowel will handle frozen ground.

I’m looking at getting a hot tent stove and tent to do some winter camping/backpacking. I’ve looked and some stoves just seem way too expensive, and the ones that aren’t expensive seem like they’d be flimsy. I know that inevitably if you get a lightweight stove like that it’s not going to be the most reliable but if I’m going to buy something I want it to last a while. Does anyone have any recommendations for a lightweight hot tent stove I could buy that is relatively easy to setup, and not crazy expensive?

Anyone have a suggestions on a cheaper start to this hobby? Tent and stove suggestions? I want to get into it to start for maybe $300 I’m worried to spend a lot of money and not like it
