Off-Grid Prospector-Style Tent: A Tiny House Alternative

In this video, we give you a tour of a prospector-style, 4-season tent that is completely off-grid. The tent is built with two layers of weather-proof canvas stretched over a wooden frame and is equipped with a double combustion wood stove for heat, a solar panel to power 1 LED light, and a propane fridge to keep food cool during the summer months.
The tent is separated into 4 quarters: dining room, kitchen, sleeping area, and woodstove/living room. There's also an outhouse, barbecue and picnic table outside.
Measuring approx. 15 x 18 feet, this tent would make a very comfortable tiny house, although we would make a couple of changes to make it more liveable over the long-term, including the addition of an indoor composting toilet, a couch in front of the fireplace, larger windows, and a more powerful solar system so that we could power more than 1 light.
This tent is a rental unit in Gatineau Park that can be accessed by snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Winter, or hiking/cycling in Summer. For more information about renting a 4-season tent (or yurt) in Gatineau Park, visit the NCC website here:
Winter: www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places-to-vi...
Summer: www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places-to-vi...
A special thank you to the NCC for allowing us to stay in this 4-season tent in order to film this video, and a big thank you as well to our family and friends who generously loaned us snow shoes, gloves, hats, a sleeping bag, and more to make this adventure possible!
Thanks for watching!

i grew up in ontario with no indoor plumbing and an outhouse. the trick is to use a chamberpot and the outhouse is where you go to empty it, rather than yourself. this means you only have to go to the outhouse 1x daily, never at night. chamberpot needs a lid and can be kept outside the door till you need it. keep the seat inside, though. lol

Where I used to live we had an outhouse... It was very cold at night :( I live in Australia, to make it worse, and once I there was a snake on the toilet seat... I thought it was just a decoration for some reason.. So I touched it... Luckily it wasn't poisonous and it slithered away as soon as I touched it but this is the reason that my dad installed a toilet indoors 😂

To anyone wondering, these tents are very popular all year round, and they are used for one or two night stays where you ski or snowshoe in (from a central parking area or park office). They are not residential living spaces, but camping areas. Firewood, fuel and water are typically included in the rental fee. That’s why there’s so little for storage and and outhouse.

+Gachitadamunga The outhouse in winter seems like a major hardship to most who have never tried it, but in use I found that situation to be a very minor difference in comfort from standard indoor toilets. You DO need to keep a large plastic bucket and lid inside the shelter though, and in that way you have something inside and close by, which you can use in case of illness, or emergency.

love the tent. Thanks for showing us around. One of the reasons for a double tent layer is that if the tent is touching the frame, the rain would migrate into the interior. A tent over "the tent" eliminates this and, as you say, helps with insulation. Very nicely engineered. Love the cascading bunks and the kitchen space. I'm always prepared, like you, with my fixin's. Your soup looks awesome.

+CycleCruza People cooked on wooden stoves like that for a really, really long time. It's very doable. Just takes an adjustment. You're right about running water and the outdoor restroom. I imagine there are all kinds of water issues with, you know, freezing. I think I would want to consider a smaller scale composting toilet. But, that would require more maintenance on the part of the people who rent the property. I'm a little surprised they don't have a little more solar capacity and more LED lighting, though, I'm not sure how many hours of sunlight they get per day that far north.

The old jug for liquids and the cat litter/bag/ bucket method for solids covers that problem. Any vandweller has that down. And you don't need running water for dishes. Spray bottles filled with vinegar or vinegar/water mix, or soap/water mix do an excellent job. The trick is to wipe everything thoroughly immediately after use, spray, sit a few minutes and then wipe dry. Works really well in small spaces with a limited water supply. And plenty of hand sanitizers for use as personal germ control on hands.

Thanks for reviewing this tent created by a very thoughtful person--especially the spatial arrangements and the ingenious wooden bed furniture. I assume it's a tent for the sake of portability, because if it were intended for permanent living, one would reduce the steep wall angles and use closed cell sprayed urethane to insulate the walls with much heat to gain, and windows to allow. Myself, I'm thinking more along the lines of tropical living!

i wonder if they could've made an extra outhouse partition outside of the kitchen door(turning the window into a door first) with it's own ventilation flap. would make a lot more sense and soak in a bit of the heat from the main tent so the temperature is slightly above outdoor temp.

OFF-GRID... With a fridge and a BBQ Grill. ^^

Off-Grid simply means they are not connected to a cities power/water/sewer supply. It doesn't mean primitive, with no modern conveniences, so a fridge and BBQ are perfectly fine. You can be off-grid and have electric, tv, running water, or just about anything you can on-grid. You just are not relying on the power company to supply your electricity.

I like the staggered bunk beds. Also, if you get too cold during the night, you could move to a higher bunk to be where the heat has risen.

Lovely space! Based on my experience living in a tiny yurt for years, I'd have a sunshine window in the sloping roof and put a shower at the back of where the kitchen is. Also the stove needs a rock wall round the back and sides to take up heat and give it back slowly when the fire burns down and the tent needs thick insulation between the layers.

thanks for sharing this. I love tents, and this one is exceptionally beautiful. I live in a DIY ger I made in Alaska, and the one I made here in 2007 was covered with cut canvas from the Girl Scout wall tent I stayed in the winter of 2006. If my set up would have been as nice as this tent I'm sure I'd have never built my ger or found my true love, Gertee. :) Looking forward to your yurt tour, you have good hosting skills.

I wonder how much something like this would cost to buy? I really want a tiny house. I'm not trying to make anyone feel sorry for me. Lol. But I am fighting cancer and I've promised myself some sort of tiny house once I have completed my stem cell transplant. Sort of a goal to keep me fighting. I really, really want to change so much of my lifestyle and I want a tiny house. I'm in cold Canada, so I need something that will keep me warm in the winter. :)

a small cabin build like this would be more expensive. Also more difficult to transport the materials to the site. Unless you do everything with man power cutting and nailing it together will require power.
