Hot-Tent Season Starts on Outdoor YouTube, From Woodstoves to a Hobbit Tent

As the first snow falls in the West, two of the channels we follow fired up their woodstoves for cold-weather camping.

Joe Robinet spent a solo night in a new hot tent with a woodstove in a forest he hadn't camped in before, cooking steak on the stove; the video is sponsored. In a shorter clip, he takes a break from building his bushcraft shelter to cook a grouse over the fire. TA Outdoors took a small canvas tent he calls his hobbit tent and a woodstove into the woods for an autumn trip, cooking on the stove and settling in for a cozy night.

If you're trying a hot tent this season, follow the tent and stove makers' instructions, use a stove jack rated for your stove, keep a carbon monoxide alarm inside, and never run a stove or heater in a tent that isn't designed for one.

Screen & channel features videos we think outdoor readers will enjoy. Videos play from the creator's own channel; Outdoor Unc is not paid to feature them, and featuring a video is not an endorsement of the products in it.
