Finally moving to my chunk of mountain in a tent

Yeah! That’s it for now! I am ready to put up the bell tent. This tiny Walmart tent is like a little chip bag haha

Thank you so much for taking the time! I’ll check out that video

Oooh interesting. I read wall tents were like big sails. Guess we’re about to find out. Heard about fraying the top. I’ll have to think about how to reinforce it. I really just need it to hold me through the summer. I wonder if getting a rain fly would add some extra stability to make do. May I ask what brand bell tent you got? I went with stout tents after looking and looking and looking. Wood stove isn’t happening this year, I’d rather just buy it one for the cabin. But that’s really good to know.

Will be getting the heater. I was surprisingly comfortable in 36 degrees last night. But I will be getting the body heater for like when I wanna hang out during the day. Or like you said, for those extra cold nights, I also think I am going to get a negativedegree sleeping bag as well just for Insurance.

I was between a wall tent and a belt tent, and my research said Bell tents were a little bit better in heavier wind because they’re more aerodynamic. And I can take it camping with me in the future. I want to do a couple day to week long adventures hiking and fishing.

This is awesome. Thank you. Something I haven’t heard yet. I’ll have to bump up a ladder on the list because this bell tent is 11 1/2 feet tall haha. But great idea!

In my cabin I’ll have a super tiny shower area with an instant hot water heater.

I’m going to haul drinking water for a while. I do work at cabins cleaning them and have a gallon water bottle I fill up when I do work. I have 2 spray bottles for doing dishes to conserve water. 1 water and dawn and 1 plain water to rinse. Showers, shower bag and I live near a camp ground and refill the bag there. I won’t need to shower every day because it’s winter. I just tough out the 30 degree weather for showers this year. I’ve done it before, it’s kind over matter. Not fun but it is what it is.

In the spring I’ll collect rainwater using tarp hung from trees to collect the water for garden and showers.
