Joe Robinet cooks grouse and tests a new woodstove tent, plus a minimalist hammock night and two shelter and pack reviews.

Cold-weather camping dominated the week. Joe Robinet cooked grouse over an open fire, spent a solo night in a new hot tent with a woodstove and built a bushcraft shelter in the rain. The Outdoor Gear Review went minimal with a hammock night in a remote forest, TA Outdoors tried a cozy woodstove setup in a hobbit-style tent, and Justin Outdoors reviewed a lightweight 40-liter pack.

If you try a hot tent, follow the stove maker's spacing and ventilation guidance and bring a carbon monoxide alarm. Our watch lists feature videos we think readers will enjoy; creators don't pay to be featured, videos play from each creator's own channel, and we point out sponsored segments and affiliate links when a video has them. We leave out videos that promote gambling.
