Greetings from Southwest Quebec ,Canada!!! I enjoyed your knowledge ,HalleluYAH!

Look how excited Simon was, out there with his Papa. 🐕😊

Another Canadian KZfaqr, Slim Potatohead, made a small stove out of an ammo can to use in his A-Liner camper, has a way of packing the stovepipe and all into the ammo can, and he can use it for cooking too. This hot tent idea is great, thank you - I enjoyed looking through the website linked below your description. Cheers!

Very nice! Very practical good and very laigh! Waiting from wood stove!!

Very nice tent , and Onest man 👍❤

Great job

Good job! Sewing machine is the outdoorman's best friend.

That is awesome

Sehr schön gemacht. 👍

great video

nice setup. Thank you for sharing :)

Michael ,Esme and Simon , Thanks for sharing , I really like the addition of the zippers and Stove jack, the vent reminds me of the British artic tent 👍

Some good ideas and sound reasoning, many thanks again for running an enjoyable and informative channel, take care out there and good to see the three of you out enjoying yourselves.

Outstanding overview of of the Polish Lavvu, I love mine! I’ve only added a zip to mine so far, but a skirt and stove jack are in the works.

Great shelter. It was awesome to see Mr Simon again.

Very creative . Thanks Brian 79

That's a very well made tent, excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for doing this! Very versatile tent.

Just got myself a lavvu, gorgeous bit of kit, I think it's well worth the little extra weight to my bag. Thanks for the video on its uses and some mods, I'm going to use one of mine in its poncho form, too, but definitely going to add the zip to them both and chimney to one side! Great video, well presented, and very well made. You've got yourself a new subscriber!

You gave me some great ideas,I bought 2 medium size polish lavvus about a year ago and I am now just getting an opportunity to go up to the mountains and try it but not without those modifications you gave me a lot to do LOL I do wanna make themAnd turn it Into a hot tent I appreciate your channel thank you very much

Wow I am the first like and first comment I am really on the ball tonight lol. I really love all the configurations you can do with this tent. It’s nice just to use as a lien to even with a fire in front of it I’m sure. Unfortunately I am not much for sewing. You are very handy MICHAEL. I can’t wait to see it with the stove you’re going to make. Cheers my friend.

Just to let you know, I do occasionally watch your old videos of your winter camping. It gave me some ideas to see how camping is like in winter.

Great Video! Thank you! My pair of polish lavvu halves will be arriving here in a week or two & I am looking forward to modding! Hopefully I'll have them ready in April! Looking forward to your stove video, hope you find the time needed to produce!

Fantastic! Wow your quite handy 💐

Well done good content as usual, well done Esme, Michael has behaved well and I hope Simon is well.

Very smart,great job

This video shows a very small stove for this small hot tent. Take care and thank you.

Great budget setup for sure. I’m saving for a Snowtrekker. I prefer to have more room. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done and detailed info on your video. Thanks. Just subscribed

Simon the lil legend!

Those zippers are pretty nice, next mod on mine. I use the gstove in my laavu. Love these tents.

Awesome little setup. I'm guessing we could see it in action next winter!! Looking forward to! In any case my camping is done for this year I'll restart all the fun next year with my new toy!! Cheers.

Hello Michael, I’m in the process of swapping a few things out on my Lavvu. I really like your venting option and the stove jack too. I’ve just finished modding my stove and will be giving it it’s first overnighter this Friday. I used a samovar year kettle for my stove. Very small, light but sends some fantastic heat out. I’ve got a few videos on it if your interested mate. Many thanks for sharing. I’ve watched a couple of your films yesterday and today so I’ve subbed pal 👍. Cheers, Ant.

Thnxs for uploading and sharing this 👍🏻🇺🇸

We had a great weekend camping. I bought I new 2 person tent to go with my 6 person family tent. This new tent uses air in the poles and its light. I like your hot tent and I want to start winter camping. Hot tent please. Take care

Nice video good looking job thanks

Hi Michael, I am from Warrington England and have recent found your videos, can't stop watching! They are incredible quality and you look like you are living your dream my friend. I would be extremely interested to read a blog or watch a video about your life, where abouts in England you're from, how and when you came to leave England, how you ended up in Canada and where your love of the outdoors came from etc as your videos suggest you have a fantasticly interesting life story. If such a thing exists and you could point me in the right direction or could reply to my comment with a few words about your it would be much appreciated! Best wishes. Todd.

Very slick.

Esme looked a little confused at the end of the video when you started packing up. No good long snooze in a nice warm sleeping bag! 😀

Check out Far North Bushcraft and Survival, Lonnie has made stoves from ammo cans and 5 gallon buckets. I would think the ammo cans would be better if he had used a 40 mm vs the 50 cal. Great video as always.

Love it I have ne of these I use it as my single man camping set up it always give a real or the tic fell to the camping experience

Great solution! Thanks for the video! As always yous have fantastic ideas to improve! There is also a nother tent that almost identical, it's the Hungarian Laavu it's some time's cheaper.

Thanks a lot man im broke right now and needed this. All the canvas tents i found were nearly 1000 dollars.

The Lavvu looks great! Packaflame makes some nice ammo can stove kits by the looks of it, I built my own out of a $20 ammo can from princess auto and a couple pieces of 3” galvanized ducting... I’m sure I’m under $50 for it... the trade off with a small stove is I only get about 1 hour of heat (but it’ll cook you out of a Lavvu)... Dave’s bullets and bushcraft on YT has some nice video on DIY stoves he’s built from duct end caps he bought from Home Depot.. I’ll likely build one like he did and try it in my Lavvu against the ammo can stove.

Looks like you did a great job on the tent. I suspect you will be doing some hot tent camping in the future, looking forward to it. Cheers

Nicely done Michael !! A thought to add to the notion of building a smaller stove (which I could not agree more), and that would be to have it as a gravity/trickle feed pellet stove. Sure would be nice (in winter) to have heat all night long. A floor of reflectix, going high enough to block drafts as you sleep could also enhance the efficiency of a tiny stove. Nice work. Good to see both dogs out and about this time too.

It was my dog Odins first camping trip.

I'm curious where did you find the poll that you used as a center support I've been looking for something like that and so far I haven't found anything thank you

nice set up.......i was looking for that black watch that you were wearing on your left wrist in your amazon store, but didn't see it, did it come from elsewhere? or is it just not shown yet?

That white dog seems like a pleasant little canine. I would love to take it out sometime, buy it a chicken sandwich, and you know... see where things go from there.

I'm getting the Luxe Mini Pyramid XL hot tent with stove Jack for $209.00 USD. Your always a week late Michael, I'm gonna have to have a long talk with Esme on your punctuality!

Michael, why not make a ammo can stove . The cans can be either 30 or 50 cal and they are easy to work with and cheaper. There are plenty of ammo can cooker making videos

excellent video, one of my group members shared you video yo my group...Polish & Hungarian Lavvu owners Worldwide...i will be looking forward to following your Winter adventures in the Lavvu but if you use a couple of telescopic wash line poles and get rid of the centre pole it would greatly increase the amount of livable space inside your shelter, so a big thumbs up subscribed and hit the wee bell...atb from Scotland

Two wonderful doggies and a lavvu, we'll this chanel is awsome

how do you find the stove jack? any issues? would you use it again? do you find one with a silicone ring would be better?

how tall is the center poll in the lavvu? I'm thinking of just using a walking stick, and how many stakes does it require? probably will cut some short stakes from some dead tree. thanks for your help.

We went to Picton Sandbanks and ended up staying 3 nights 4 days. Good times.

Serious question Can you put three of these ponchos together for more room or does it only work with two I'd love to know thanks

That tent looks great. Where did you purchase the Polish Lavvu for $21.00 USD. I can't seem to find anything in that price range, were the ponchos new or used . What did it cost you for shipping. Great mods.

I don't have a stove jack I've just got a fancy flue section with fins and it fits through the arm hole but I'll actually wear half my tent

Can you leave a link to your backpack you used in this video. Thank you.

Im using the Gstove in my Lavvu.

Hi Michael, varusteleka is currently out of stock of the Lavvu. Do you have any other recommendations?

do you know if this lavu is made of cotton? does it have any waterproof treatment?

WOW! you can just push the stakes in by hand. The ground in Az is so hard, you have to use a hammer, and then your stakes are ruined. I enjoy your camping trips.

Take a look at the French army arctic f2 tent. Its the perfect budget tent

Could you please explain why the short cords to the steak down eyelets?

Have you ever thought of doing camping for foreigner/tourist package holidays? It will be cool. I believe people from countries that don't have winters would love to experience it. I'm from Singapore.

Hi Michael, love seeing you Simon and Esme out and having fun. Not sure if I mentioned it to you but I also have a Lavvu and mine is black. I have to say that mine has not been treated and does not let any water in. I put it up and left it in the rain for about 3 days. The outside just seemed to shed the water into droplets and then just ran off. Like you I am also in the process of doing the mods although at a lot slower pace (lol). My only real problem at the moment is getting the zips. I am not in Canada or the US and they don't seem to want to sell them to me. I need 2 @150cm's in black and wondered if you can find a way that I can get them please? Your friend Rach

I’ve always liked these “tents” ... but I do have a question. After all the modifications as it can no longer be used as a poncho and is purely a tent, are they still worth it? Seems the drawbacks of them as a tent are still there, but none of the poncho benefits. BTW What size did you buy? Re: Stove, I’ve seen a great mini stove build using two ikea stainless pans (top and bottom) ... perfect for a small one man winter tent setup. I’ll dig up the link if you like.

where can I find that chest pack?

I'm 6'3 I would need a large size one. Thanks

Now that you put up your dogs tent 😂

what kind of backpack is that

Pro seal will sort it out for wet weather. Water just rolls of it.

Try finding swedwoods on KZfaq. He has a nice DIY amo can stove.

I don’t get it could we get an equipment list?

Hey when you make your stove checkout Dave’s bullets and real survival on KZfaq. He’s a fellow albertan and makes all sorts of stoves and neat outdoor videos. Perhaps you already know his channel. Either way thanks for yet another great video Michael. Cheers

I enjoy your videos. Do you ever cross path with bear. What do you have to defend yourself.

I seen the smallest stove ever on a video. It's a small cube. Take care and thanks

Wonder if a rocket stove would work

😂😂😂

The name of the video is called, " $100 Hot Tent with micro stove. Bad weather solo camping"

Silver side up I thought....

Where's the fekin stove!

Too small
