These videos represent my personal story of the type of outdoorsman I am. My wife and kids laugh at my camo pants and I take it in stride as they put up with me disappearing for days at a time into the wilderness of the Canadian Rockies.
The importance of a really good camp stove
A quick video to show how comfortable winter camping can be if you have a good reliable wood stove.

When I pitched my camp on Monday, I had 4" of snow and frozen ground. 2 Days later I'm swamped. That's how it goes camping in the spring.

When camping in a Cabela Bighorn 3 outfitter tent, winter tenting is not considered a hardship. It's more like a luxury condo.

Wolf visits my camp

During the night I awoke to a pack howling, and early morning after my coffee I searched around camp and found several wolf footprints. So cool to know they visited my camp!!

Very cool, was this at the Hummingbird?
Did ya know they quit selling them!
im in 2020 so cute
No bigfoots yet sir??
You paid a lot for that tent I paid 50 bucks for a tarp there both same thickness light weight I can pack ming at 1.7 lb yours 25 lb ok
Great vids Al! Keep em coming
This video is what convinced me to buy this tent. I haven't come close to the temps you experienced, but I've seen 30ish at night. Warm and comfy w/Four Dog Stove, around 40 degree delta with a good fire. Vestibule is a MUST. I've had this tent w/vestibule since 2013, averaging about 8 trips a year @ 3-4 days each trip. Last year the plastic covering the rear window fell apart, Cabela's replaced it with no issue (new Bighorn 3 tent has the access port @ the front of the tent, nice feature). No issues with the stove and the tent wall. KIt: Bighorn 3 Roof protector (for use w/Four Dog Stove) Vestibule (MUST HAVE)--suggest outdoor rug for the vestibule Floor Protector Edit: Just saw a question asking about time to set up w/vestibule--about 20 to 30 mins in good conditions for me.
Awesome.
Your get away from it all attitude is inspiring! Just stumbled on your channel, good to see another Canadian who loves the outdoors.
Nice, fellow Canadian. I went for the hunting tent, but a lot heavier,than the cabela's tent.and the hunting tent was bought and made in Canada.
where can i get the floor plan for this cool looking small house ?
Allan you inspired me to get one of these BH3 tents for camping mainly with my two boys but sometimes the wife and daughter will come along. The kids are all teenagers with the typical habits but all too soon they are gone. I could not find another tent with the mix of space, stove jack, etc in the price range, Now I need your list for packing for the weekend! I think I would need a trailer for all that stuff, not just my truck. But you have a sweet setup and an awesome spot also.Looking for similar winter locale in VT. Most public parks closed and need special permit in winter.
minus 35 F? youre friken nuts
+Benjamin god hates a coward, besides when it's that cold you can be assured that you'll be the only person out there.... which is exactly the way I like it.
not camping, voluntarily, in minus 35F doesnt make anyone a coward; however voluntarily camping in such weather...? God doesnt like the suicidal
Nice photos
Hey Allan, Finally picked up the Big Horn 3 and all the extras at the Friends and Family sale. I wanted a 3 Dog stove, but just bought a Camp Chef Alpine HD cylinder stove instead. 10 and 12 gauge steel. Great reviews by most. Being a welder I can make my own, but for 280.00 for everything it's hard to beat. I'll still put a gasket on the door and weld in a baffle plate. Do you think it will work okay for the Big Horn? Since you had an old cylinder stove before. I'm also wondering where you got your Four Dog Stove? Canvas Tent Shop? And do you use any protection under the stove? I was thinking Tillman carbon felt welding blanket or something similar.
+Byron Hi Byron, the main reason for going from the old cylinder stove to the 4 dog was being able to stoke the fire and get 3 hrs between feeds. the old stove put out enough heat but I had to feed it every 45 min. I bought it online from an outfit in British Columbia but I honestly don't remember their name. I usually take a small bag of play sand from Home Depot and put about 1 inch thickness in the bottom of the stove and it's unbelievable how much that stops the heat from penetrating through the bottom.
good tent or not
Great job!!
he should put in extra support for the roof.an waterproof cloth sewn to the outside walls where he sleeps an tack on felt inside there too. if it rains heavily those thin nylon walls will be no use at all. its a very good rig though. one thing? i see no defensive works whatsoever; nor a woman or any kids. you want the world/mankind to go on? well you will be needing those...and oh yeah...that generator runs on petrol? and the first thing to vanish forever is petrol..look up different methods of generating electricity...that truck is good though... its a diesel.. you can easily make your own diesel..
+Gerry Stevens This camp is just simply my getaway rig so I can go into the back country and relax/ retreat from the general population. It's by no means a bug out setup or anything that hard core.
Lucky, one day I will do the same :)
and that view is rediculous. I wish the was a place in the world where I could see that view and get in the snow and just five minutes away I could turn my head and be at a Caribbean beach side.
even though I can't stand Cabelas prices, that was a beautiful tent inside let in a lot of light and very clean set up. beautiful spot for a drive in set up.
Just discovered your channel. Awesome!
Humming bird creek north of Ram River falls?
+ScaleModelAlberta Yes that's the spot. Gods country, peace and tranquility. (well in the winter anyway)
+Allan Miller Cool. Grew up just a couples hours east of there.
The BH3 is one awesome tent. I left mine setup up for Jonas and we had 33" of snow and no problems what so ever.
Boy you are a camper - Tuck loaded with wood, Snow Machine, BBQ , Grill, Furnace - Roughing it Awesome !!
I wanna come and hang out. But I need my own bed and a shower. I'll cook for ya. (That's my way of eating things the way I like). So is this for fun, or do have a mission? Can't grizzlies rip you tent open or just walk in? I hope you're packing.
+Susie Arviso I wouldn't be going to the wilderness and camping if I spent every moment standing guard with my Uzi scared to death of a bear. If the average person uses some basic wilderness common sense they will never have a problem.......I've been doing this for 20+ years and never even had a close call or an incident. NO, I don't pack firearms with me, the only shooting I do is with my camera.
Allan Miller Just be careful. At least carry Bear Mace. Enjoy sir!
Very Inspirational! You know what you're doing and make 20 below outdooorsmanship look more comfortable and enjoyable than most would think.
+Robert DaytonOhio thank you very much Robert, I always appreciate great comments
Awesome!!
It's so quiet there
how you like the dog stove? is that a 4? whats the heat shield your using on the near wall?
+brent338 Yes it is a 4 dog. I absolutely love the amount of heat it puts out and it last a good 3 hours or so depending on the type of wood (usually pine) the heat shield is just some cardboard air return I bought at Home Depot then taped layers of heavy duty tinfoil. It makes a huge difference in the tent as all that heat would be lost through the side wall of the tent. Well worth the small investment.
Bears, bears, bears.
So what do you do about taking a bath? The rest I like! I wish I could do that!
+Yukon Man I have a plastic tub from Walmart that is about 3ft X 20inches and I fill it with 3 inches of water from my stove tank and sponge bath. Nothing feels better than a bath after about 4 days when it's -30 outside.
+Allan Miller Hey Mr. Miller thanks for the reply! I'm sure it does!
godda have beer whoo hoow
Love it out there. Lived in Hinton for 7 years. Would love to be back that way again. Thanks for sharing Allan.
Do you have a code in your node?
Real nice tent, just a thought, i dont pitch my tent under any tree, not any more. Had a limb to break and almost got it,lol. Good video keep having fun.
Got to love Winter camping ! -10 is fantastic outside weather. Btw Allen that's one great looking tent.
Awesome stuff...the coldest I've camped in was about -2c and can't imagine it that cold in a tent. Great camp stove.
+thesausagesandwich good to see you enjoy the camping though. not everyone like the brutal cold!!
do you live outside? or this just a camping trip? Nice though!
+bobbadogable just my camping setup. I have a nice warm place to call home as well !!!
I thought bears would be hibernating but then I'm from the UK so not many about. looks peaceful
+David Bell I think the bear I was referring to was in fact seen in late fall but I'm not sure. Bears typically do leave the den numerous times during hibernation though.
+Allan Miller they only leave their den during winter to get a beer! Drink up my friend.
you're a machine! love it!
Looks awesome.....with salmon cooking under a plastic tent you will meet that Grizzly if he returns. If not snowing I put stove outside so lingering smell does not attach to tent. Great set up! Thank you
great place.... perfect camp . welldone friend
To cold for this warmblooded Aussie
"Got all the necessities- beer."
What material is your heat reflector?
+Matt Burich it's a couple return air cardboard sheets that I taped together then covered with heavy duty tinfoil and taped all the seams with aluminum tape. it makes a huge difference inside the tent as all that heat behind the stove would be lost through the sidewall.
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Very jelous wish we had country side like you. Great video pal maybe one day I'll come vist all the best tony in England UK
+tony swiss Thank you very much for watching my videos Tony, glad you enjoyed them. Take care.
I would love to do this!
