Magical winter wall tent camping- with a WOOF and a MOOSE!

by



Sometimes all you need is some down time outside around a fire. Good food, doggos, some silence and solid sleep. The wall tent is a pretty good delivery system for winter camping!

This tent has been up year-round for 4 years. Keep a rain fly on it (helps protect from UV and forest debris), keep the critters out (squirrels, mice, etc), and keep the snow off it. Build it on a platform the exact size of the tent- so when it rains it won’t collect water on the platform and drain into the tent.

When you’re not using it, remove the chimney stack and cover the hole with the flap. You’ve not truly enjoyed winter camping until you’ve camped in a wall tent!

Dogs: DA WOOF- Maysie, collie; Moose, cowboy corgi
Songs: DABOOMJIGGLE- by Out of Flux, Moon Mother, by Richard Farrell

  6. I see you’re cooking your garlic with a side of mushrooms – yum! Didn’t realize how much room was in the tent. Looks so comfortable. Thanks for sharing your steak!

  9. Very cool video, Brook! You actually gave me an idea for dinner tomorrow. I forgot that I had a steak in the freezer, so tomorrow I am going to sauté some mushrooms, grill a steak, and make some potato soup .

  20. I had a collie years ago and she looked just like maisey. Like maisey, she loved, loved laying in the snow and on the ice. My Princess was indeed an outdoor dog. Just love seeing your wolf❤

  27. Your Brother-in-Law’s off-grid cabin…
    At the start of the video, I took your advice and grabbed a cup of coffee. I not only paused at this moment not only to comment below, but to see if the video would even last my entire tall mug. Unfortunately, it’s not looking too good because…
    Awe man, awesome video so far!…
    I’m at 10:31 min and am floored right now! I love his explanation of what he added followed by a thorough picture of why he added it. I find myself so inspired, as I already own a handful of land and want to stop what I’m doing and start building!
    I’ve already added that Gas Propane fridge & LED track lights to my Amazon cart.
    I also love the redundancy.
    Where can I get a Dad like yours?
    What are some ‘must have’ items that are not found on your off grid homestead?
    In other words, if you can’t make it into town, what are some items that you’ll run out of?
    I see you have 3 years of wood stocked up. What are some other items that you stocked up on?
    Where do you wash your clothes?
    When running the framing in the additions, how would it make sense to create a wiring compartment running the whole length of the walls, at the height immediately under the windows? Especially if the windows would sit higher, in anticipation of removing them for another addition.
    Is there any concern for security?
    What some first things that one should stock up on, when envisioning building an off grid homestead?
    My goal is to take my time, start each piece of land with a small cache storage 6’ feet deep, level up to a hidden shed, then a tiny bug-out location, and increase them a little as the years go on.
    My main challenges: they are full states-distance away from me and each other. Some are in arid deserts. Some are completely off-grid with neighbors 100’s of miles away.
    But I do have some a 30min to 1 hour’s drive out from family.
    I have acquired the land properties over 8 years of time, mostly through interest-free owner-financing; ranging from 0.25 acre to 10 acres.
    I am open to any suggestions.
    Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures and inspiring us all to … well y’know, get outside and get happy. 😀

  35. In one of your posts, you said, you didn’t know where to begin the phrase “we gone“ actually, it comes from CB or citizens band radio. It was a common phrase meeting we’ve ended our participation in the conversation. I don’t know if you’ll ever find this note but if you do, I hope it helps.
