I go camping in a giant inflatable house tent. I take a woodstove into the tent and cook some good food on the fire pit outside. Come and join me on this overnight solo camping adventure.

Buy a small plot of land next to a river build a small or large cabin using recycled materials like wood pallets, make a composting toilet 🚽 build a water turbine to generate electricity. Build diy plumbing system, pull water from river with pump. Filter it using a free diy water filter made from gravel, sand, screen, charcoal, then filter your drinking thru store bought water filter. To stay cool in Sumner build a diy Air conditioner with a fan, pump & radiator. Circulate cold river water through the radiator. Or just use regular AC since you have power from your water turbine generator. Buy small RV or van with a wetbath to live in 5 days a week. While you're in the city working.

Man says he's not a good cook, then casually makes lamb, garlic potatoes and asparagus on an open flame and serves it up with a garlic dip and some flatbread. That's a meal I'd pay a good bit of money for in a relatively fancy restaurant! And the chef there won't be kneeling next to a log fire either. Don't sell yourself short! The tent looks interesting, they're not cheap but I could use one for event camping (if I ever get to do that again). It's probably _very_ nice for a family camping setup.

My last year and a half of health issues has forced me to rethink my camping gear. It's no longer "that looks interesting, let's get it and try on our next camp" rather, " what gear do I WISH to take on my LAST camp". That adjusts the shopping list quite a bit, but you can't miss with RBM. Wonderful share, sir!

My wife's grandmother had asthma issues: she went to our Adirondacks region for two months each year and lived in a tent that was set on a plank platform. Church camps had similar setups but were organized into groups. One could live indoors, away from insects or they could sit outdoors as they pleased.

I love that tent! I had one that big when I had small children and it was made of canvas. It was heavy!! It had flaps to make two rooms if you wanted to, and it didn’t have accommodations for a stove, but other than that it was very similar. I loved that old tent! I found the simplest thing to use for a cooking fire if you were car camping, was a few rocks and a wire rack out of an old oven. It was plenty big, made for being in fire, and flat and easy to pack. I loved hearing your sweet little daughters voice.❤️🤗🐝

If you get into the habit of using the damper, you'll have much better efficiency out of your stove. If the fire hits the partly closed damper, it disperses the heat out from that point. If you're shooting the flames out the chimney, it's not only taking heat out, it's exhausting much more air than needed. Any air that shoots out the chimney has to be replaced by drawing in cold air from tent leaks. That's cooling the tent down, causing you to use more wood.

@michaelbrinks8089 3 ай бұрын

I think a good tent idea is a combination of inflatable plus a few support poles.....un roll tent, steak down, inflate, insert support poles. The poles act as main support. The inflated areas are to help support secondary areas prone to sagging & to initially inflate/rsise the tent. Making it easier to setup the support poles. Another tent idea 💡 is removable insulation using lightweight tear resistant, mylar reflective type material that installs with velcro & has air gaps between tent wall & the insulation barrier. To create R-value.

Oh yes, this would be lovely with the family - even if you don't film it, you can report on what went well with the equipment and what did not. And you can bring a small toilet so that they don't have to go outside in the dark. Perhaps even hang a curtain if your daughter is that age - I can't remember when exactly she was born but I'm guessing 5 or 6 years ago. Anyway, family time is what you work so hard for, so yay.
