  • Some people in the UK just died through cooking inside their tent because of carbon monoxide poisoning and another family just last week were rescued unconscious by their neighbours. Although I guess these tents are well vented in these storms.

  • @cgooodie I allways open up the outer tent a little for ventilation before i start cooking. You save 50% fuel than you cook inside the tent! I never noticed any problem.

  • Wind - yes. But where is the snow?

  • @runcycleskixc The snow is the white powder on the ground and on the tents.

  • I wonder how strong the winds were, 15 m/s? I did not plan to test my Nammatj 3 in 26 m/s second winds last September but ended up in strong winds (storm starts at 25 m/s). Did not sleep much and I also got the wind sideways and no chance to fix it, middle of the night, to tough winds and rain as well. It looked a lot worse for me but it held up at least.

  • I did not brought any windmeter but your estimation may be right. I am very glad that it was not a real storm that we had to fight against.

  • We have a ground floor to the inner tent but not in the absd. Can be some problems with open fire in the cooking device if you have a ground floor.

  • @1newbucketheadcover1 We did. This tent i very well ventilated but still it keep the water outside and you must allways remember to save a dry change of cloths to sleep in.

  • Making people aware it`s dangerous to use stoves in tents??? jeez man.. nobody should fall a sleep with the stove on in the tent. That`s why you have a stove-watch in the military.

    Weather like that on the video is not uncommon in Sweden, Norway and Finland. We`re talking high winds and -5 to -30 degrees C, not counting the windchill. 3 feet with snow is also pretty common everywhere.

  • a gaggle of hillebergs.

  • @nof08 Just making people aware it can be dangerous to use stoves in tents.

  • That looks so fun!!!!!!

  • @nof08 that's not enough to be called snow.

  • Sorry I can't call that "snow". Dusting, yes.

    Show me how it behaves after 2 feet of new powder overnight.

  • Sorry I can't call that "snow". Dusting, yes.
