Yes people, we are back—blistering cold, fresh snow on the ground, and I’m out here winter camping alone in the woods with an inflatable hot tent. In this episode I get the Danchel B2I set up fast, realize real quick I can’t get away without staking it down, and I’m extra careful not to overinflate the tubes because in this kind of cold everything gets brittle. Once the titanium stove is rolling, you can feel that whole bell-tent design doing its thing—heat rises, funnels up, and then starts pushing back down. After fighting the cold all day, peeling layers off inside the tent is a good feeling. I also show you how I think about staying warm the smart way: I’ve got the cot positioned so I can feed the stove without even getting out of bed, but I’m not relying on an all-night burn. I’m running a -25 sleeping bag, and that’s my real safety net. Dinner is simple camp comfort food—shrimp and grits with Old Bay (y’all have grace with the instant grits), then pecan/pecan pie for dessert. Fiona’s along for the ride too, but she gets tucked warm in the truck until the tent is cozy. We wake up to snow and wind, pack out clean, leave no trace, and head home warmed up.
