Tent Inside Tent Winter Camping

Insane. This guys camping game is next level.

I legit have no idea why I watched this, but it was fascinating none-the-less.

Steve: “I’m gonna put a tent in a tent.” 10 Million people: “Nice. I’ll watch.”

he camps alone but always cooks food for everyone truly cultured man

My evening ritual isn't complete without watching a few camping with Steve videos before bed!!!

Now this is what REAL Youtube is all about. Just a dude sharing footage of an idea they had. No crazy sponsor advertisement, no crazy intro outtro, just a camera and some good times.

When I watch these videos I feel like I did when I was a kid goofing around in my backyard. "What if we put in small tent inside a big tent and then tried to heat it with candles???" I love it. 😀

Use the big fire, if you have one, if not use the candles to boil water for a hot water bottle. Burning candles into open area is pointless. You need a heat sink like the bottle to store the heat. If you have a container that seals boil a couple of potatoes and remove them, wrap in a pillowcase and toss in sleeping bag to warm it. Fry potatoes for breakfast. Then seal the hot water and place in second tent and it will give off heat it has stored.

Something is just so emotionally appealing about trying to stay warm in the cold winter.

Just a note from an Alaskan: instead of using the lighter for each candle use the previously lit one(s) to light any additional. This way your not using as much lighter fluid.

Tarp down first under the fishing hut would have helped, Steve. But yep, concept works. Set up our 2 person dome tent inside huge canvas cabin tent (full-floor), at high elevation 4 Mile Campground in Park County, CO, in July. (It still snowed lightly that night, even in summer!) Humidity built up inside the dome tent from our breath overnight, but it was 20 degrees warmer inside the dome than the larger cabin tent, which was another 20 warmer than outside temp. Air-mattress and double-zipped together sleeping bags helped, too. Also, kept our clothes inside the foot of the sleeping bags so there were warm clothes in the morning.

That was such a nice video, Steve. I felt like I was "there'. I sewed a tent once. I used aluminum rods and screws for the frame. It was to protect a small group of deaf people during a large outdoor convention. It RAINED cats and dogs, but my deaf friends and their children were dry inside the tent I made. Deaf need their hands to talk, so holding umbrellas is awkward. Now, I'm disabled from an accident, but I felt like I was there with you,... figuring things out as you went along. I recently bought a Coglan's 450 Camp Heat and the little folding stove,... for my house when our next power outtage occurs. Keep being a discoverer. Have fun.

Steve: sets up tent and gives tips on how to withstand freezing cold and winds Me, a tropical person who lives on the equator: good to know.

Last night I heard a noise from my chicken coop. I was terrified at the prospect of Steve Wallis stealth camping in my coop. Luckily, it was just a bear. Imagine my relief!

This is some of the most wholesome content I've seen on YouTube Steve you're gem and a treasure please keep up the good work and blessings go out to you

Jar candles work a lot better than the tea lights. I used 3 jar candles to heat my room during a power outage a few years ago. The outdoor temp at the time was around 6F during the day.

I agree with others. This is exactly what YouTube started out as. Just a regular person hanging out, doing something they think someone out there might be interested in seeing. It was refreshingly humble, and as a result was charming. Based on this video I hit subscribe; can't wait to enjoy more of this relaxed trial and error style!

Next week, Steve heats his tent with warm thoughts and cooks over a match

Steve, I'm going to implement your idea-- tent cacooning-- on those relative cold days in CA when I feel a little depressed. This idea would absolutely light up my mind and comfort! The sound of the quiet crackling fire is so peaceful... Enjoy your next camping trips!
