Good morning, good afternoon, good evening—whatever time it is where you’re at. In this one, Fiona and I backpack into a Minnesota State Forest to do some solo hot tent camping in the snow, and I put a brand new shelter to the test: the OneTigris Coco Nest. I’ll be honest with you right out of the gate—this thing was an absolute pain to put together, and that inner tent setup just didn’t make sense for a guy my size. I’m just under 6 foot, and I could barely stretch out, with the corners of the inner suspended up off the ground like a hammock. Even with me being irritated, cold, and tired, we got settled in and got some good heat rolling with my little Danchel folding stove. I didn’t bother collecting wood after fighting the tent, so I ran compressed fire bricks and some pine cones to get the fire going. Supper was simple—spicy corn chowder with cheese and sour cream—because some nights you just want warm food and zero fuss. Overnight, the snow really started coming down, and I woke up early enough to toss another brick in and catch the storm. The takeaway? My sleep system (negative 32 bag) did its job, the stove cranked, Fiona had a blast in her tiny booties, but I can’t recommend that tent. I’ve got more room in the backseat of the truck.
