The Cheapest Hot Tent and Stove From TEMU! 😳

I bought the cheapest hot tent and tent stove I could find on Temu and took it winter camping. This gear shipped directly from China and I wasn't sure what to expect. So what's the deal with all this cheap outdoor gear coming directly from foreign companies when we order it on Amazon, Temu, or AliExpress? Is it any good? Join me for this campout where I'll spill the beans and let you know if I think it's worth it!

I've heated both houses and canvas tents with wood stoves and if my stove pipe was ever glowing I'd first damper down the fire and then go change my under-draws. Especially with a thin stove pipe when the pipe is hot enough to glow, you should be concerned that the pipe may fail - which could be calamitous in a small space. Also, my first concern with using a wood stove in a non-canvas tent is the flammability rating of the material. Since, this is an educational video you may want to test the flammability of the tent material for your viewers.

Sounds like a great starter set for someone who wants to get an idea ifea of whether hot tent camping is for them. Probably not something you'd want to take in truly extreme weather or use for a long term base camp, but for a weekend camper just dabbling in cold weather camping this seems perfect.

That is scary compact. I just started to watch the video, but it's going to be interesting to see what the condensation is going to be like. Might be a good ideal to leave the door pretty open. For just $199., you can get a OneTigris Tegimen wall tent which you can legit stand up in as a 6 footer and you can fit a cot and a chair in it easy as it's about 12' long and 6' high. Now those are good (aka "safe") dimensions for a hot tent. And it only weighs 6.8lbs. And that's from a legit company that's been around for decades and that warranties their stuff. Great review. Thanks.

I'm not knocking that Temu, but there's another OneTigris tent that's like a Whelen Tent with a full open side and that barely weighs 3lbs and that's HUGE for the same price as that Temu unbranded version. It's called the "OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow". It's not a hot tent, but you can have a fire going just outside of it with the awning up to collect the heat in.

most outdoor gear is made in a select few factories in Asia. the difference is, the big companies hire quality control techs. so you can get high quality gear from the same factories as brand names, just need to go over it with a fine tooth comb when you first get it and either fix the f*ck ups or return it for a new 1. p.s you should ALWAYS burn in a stove for the first time out side before bringing it in your tent to burn off all the oils and finishes on it. they make some noxious fumes.

Being the cheapest on TEMU seems to me to be entry-level gear. If you want to try winter camping for the first time this would be a low cost way to go. If it turns out that you don't like it you're not out that much money. When you but the cheapest of anything you can't expect the same quality and longevity as a similar product that costs 2, 3, or 4 times as much. This was a well presented video so I subscribed.

What was the temperature? If it was a rain /snow mix it wasn’t too cold out. Start getting around 0F and things change quick. I think that stove will still work fine in that tent. The size and shape of that shelter makes a difference. It’s not tall and the angle will make it so there’s not a ton of heat up high and all cold air down low.

You're right, it wasn't too chilly. Maybe 20F as a low on the ground and I think it was warmer up in the clouds which could explain the ice rain.

Considering I have to live like this I love seeing these types of videos. One of the main things I can see right off of the bat is how thin the walls are. Personally I perfer an insulated tent. Usually no matter what tent it is extra layers such as an insulated tarp is generally required when you start hitting -15*C to -20*C temps. My structure is two summer tents joined together, layered with wool blankets sandwiched between tarps. I also have it sitting on pallets and stuffed a bunch of pine bows around the pallets then allowed the snow to bank on it and seal it off. I'm running propane heat. Without running any heat at all My improvised structure will not even go below zero until it goes beyond -5*C outside. In -20*c weather I still only have to "bump heat". Run the heater for 5mins shut it down for 30 mins or more before the temp starts to drop and have to run the heat again. Only thing is when your structure is insulated and sealed condenstation will become an issue, (especially using propane heat), so a vent and fan is usually an requirement for actually living in one. Thanks for the video. I may buy that wood stove.

So far the gear ive gotten on Temu seems to be of decent quality and has overall good stitching and looks similar to other brands. Maybe a little stiff where it should be more flexible or a little weaker in the supposed strong areas but overall usable and priced at a good pojt but not something that would make me stop buying quality brands gear. Especially tactical type gear. For atuff like camp lights and cooking sets it seems like they work great. I'm certainly intrigued in the hot tent and stove set up but I have never been one to loke flames in tents. I'd personally find a way to use it in conjunction with a tarp setup or a canvas tent.

Great questions. No hidden costs that I experienced. When I ordered it I got free shipping (not sure if that's always the case or if it was some sort of special) and didn't have to pay customs. They must cover that on their end. The only thing I paid on top of the $220 for the sticker price of the tent + stove was Idaho sales tax. Stovepipe sections nest into the one below it. Same for the lower section with the damper that sets inside the flange on the stove top. No creosote dripping yet in my experience.

I live on alberta, Canada, currently this week it is -58F, I would never use it mid winter, mostly early spring to late fall. My biggest worry is rain though. I am wondering how well it does in rain? I watch a lot of Kent survival and TO outdoors and really want to get back into tenting (with a tent big enough for a cot as I am handicapped) but I am only 4’10” so I don’t need a tall tent but probably min 4 man tent. It would be lovely to see this review done in a summer long rain weekend (or overnight). Think I’ll give your channel some support. I’m a cooking channel/review international military mre’s and want to add camping but my other half has just been diagnosed with stage 4 congestive heart failure so I’m not uploading right now but have time to watch.

@paullavender-pc1uz 6 ай бұрын

If they make quality products shoot for lightweight products durable to last I think they have a market here. I hate to think that we’re buying everything from China though but if American companies need to buy their fabrics and parts from China to build their products here, maybe that’s the way to go. With the economy the way it is which is good. A lot of us still don’t make enough money to survive let alone by expensive. American made backpacking gear so we need a place like Temu and Amazon. But that’s a great winter camp combo . I prefer the TP hot tent with the inner mesh bug half tent in inside from Amazon. Great job though. Great video my friend. Looking forward to the next one.

@outdoorempirecom 6 ай бұрын

Great feedback, thanks for sharing! I agree, it's hard to find affordable outdoor gear outside of places like Amazon and Temu anymore. More often than not, even the gear from American companies is made in China too.

@outdoorempirecom 6 ай бұрын

😂 You woulda saved some money, but that's apples vs oranges. I think I'll try this little stove in my Springbar, but I suspect it won't keep the whole tent warm and it will burn through wood way faster than my large Winnerwell. And this tent is fine for a night or two, or even backcountry camping, but I would way rather hang out on a chair with a table in my roomy Springbar tent, cooking dinner on the stove and playing cards with my kids, than trying to not to cramp up laying down in this thing for the 15 hours of darkness in the winter.

@haroldmilroy4489 6 ай бұрын

I like that setup and at that price how can you lose? Personally I like the option of buying directly from the manufacturer. I still think the big name brands offer equipment that you can count on in hard times but how many of us really NEED gear of that quality. Better for the average person to be able to buy decent enough gear and get outside and enjoy themselves.

@boredvet 6 ай бұрын

Here's the thing, if you're a big time outdoors type a person, and you're out quite a bit, cheap stuff isn't your friend. You need high end gear. If you're a person who goes out camping every other year, once a year, then yea this stuff is for you.

That tent looks like it would work well for a hammock shelter (or maybe it was designed for it even?)

@outdoorempirecom 6 ай бұрын

I don't think it was designed for that, but you may be able to make it work with enough guy lines and if you suspend it in the air or have your hammock super low to the ground. It would be tricky to get in and out though since the doors are on the ends.

Yeah well, if you're really concerned with the whole human ethics and predatory practices in where you purchase items online these days - then you're pretty much stuck at your local brick and mortar mom and pop shop. Which are rare to find. Amazon is just as bad if not worse. Walmart stopped being a made in USA depot decades ago, so you can pretty much take your human ethics and shove it sideways if you want to buy anything, anywhere with very few exceptions. Unfortunate truth of today's markets. Until we actually have some alternatives... here we are.

I downloaded Temu and ordered a couple of cheap things, but got tired of the spam and the scammy feeling of the app and deleted it. I would be extremely wary of anything coming out of China, especially their really cheap junk. I certainly wouldn’t want to risk my life, health or safety on any of their products. I enjoyed your video. The quality of the audio, your presentation abilities, and the visual aspects were very good. I hope you get traction with your channel, and really get some success. A+

Thanks for sharing and for the support, much appreciated! I never downloaded the app but it sounds gnarly. I just used a web browser. While I can see where you and others are coming from on the app, I think there's a lot of decent products to be had from China. And even if we buy a tent from a US brand, in all likelihood it was made in the same place.
