Need some fall camping insight? These are some of the tips I wish I had known when I started venturing out.

The Firehiking Fireden is a lightweight hot tent under 8 lbs. I set it up alongside my main tent for a week in Ontario. Here is my honest take on what works and what does not.

The days started getting longer, little by little Most people experience the change from winter to spring through a window. The commute gets a bit warmer, the jacket gets lighter, and eventually the snow disappears from the lawn. It is a background event. When you are living out of a truck and hot tent camping on crown land through the winter, the seasonal shift is anything but background. You are in it every day and you notice things that most people never see because they h

The Locomotive 20 offers a winter camping experience in a sleek package. Since I originally reviewed this tent Pomoly has released the Locomotive 3 as the updated version in this series. If you are shopping new the Locomotive 3 is worth a look. That said the Locomotive 20 is still available and everything in this review still applies. The Pomoly Locomotive 20 Chimney Tent, an interesting contender in the small tent market, offers some advantages for those wanting to keep the

Survival skills may be intimidating to some people which is why practicing at home is a great way to build confidence. I spent months at a time camping on crown land in Northern Ontario. Weeks would pass before I set foot in a town. No cell service, no store around the corner, backcountry logging roads as my address. When something went wrong out there, luck was sometimes the only thing that bailed me out. That experience taught me that survival skills are not something you f

I would recommend this tent... with a caveat. The Pomoly Circle 6 is a flared conical hot tent that swaps the traditional centre pole for a rigid hoop system. On paper that sounds like a minor design tweak. In practice it changes the whole feel of the tent. I used this one through fall and into winter across Ontario, including a stretch of trips out of Thunder Bay, and it gave me a pretty thorough look at what it can and can't do. Short version: it's a genuinely great tent wi

The Chalet 70 Pro is a 4-season tent that includes a built-in stove jack The Pomoly Chalet 70 Pro tent is a cabin-style tent that the company says is designed for two people, offering a unique shelter experience compared to traditional teepee-style 4-season tents. It features a stove jack compatible with any of Pomoly's wood stoves, mesh doors at either end for a cross breeze during the warmer months, and a 2500mm waterproof rating which sheds water well, based on the rainst

The Dweller Max 3 is a large camping woodstove designed to be used in the coldest conditions The Pomoly Dweller Max 3 is what I would consider a product for outdoor enthusiasts who cherish the warmth and functionality of a "portable" wood stove during their adventures. Crafted from what I consider to be durable materials, this is one of the more powerful stoves the company has to offer. To do it justice, the Dweller Max 3 was put through the rigors of a Canadian winter to see

You know a hot tent is working when it is minus 20 outside and you are taking your long johns off because it is plus 30 inside.
