Winter camping isn’t for everyone… but if you love the quiet, the crisp air, and the fact that there are ZERO bugs — you get it. Cold-weather camping can be incredible — as long as you have the right tent.
In this video, I’m breaking down what really matters when choosing a tent that can handle freezing temperatures, snow loads, and howling wind. We’ll cover:
- Why the structure and materials of your tent matter more than the brand name
- How insulation and ventilation work together to keep you warm and dry
- The safest and most effective ways to heat your tent (without turning it into a fire hazard)
- And what kind of space and layout make life easier when you’re snowed in for a few days
I’ll also share what I’ve learned after five years of testing tents like the Bereg UP-5, UP-7, and Hexagon through real mountain winters — including what features actually make a difference when the weather turns nasty.
Also on topic, I'll be covering how I heat the various tents I use in winter months using a combination of Bereg Woodstoves and Sparks Overland Diesel and Gas heaters.
If you’re thinking about trying cold-weather camping for the first time — or upgrading from a three-season tent — this video will help you make a smarter choice before you find yourself shivering in a nylon igloo!
