KdawgCrazy Outdoors's video: OneTigris Smokey Hut Ultralight Hot Tent Review

In this video I review the OneTigris Smokey Hut Hot Tent after taking it out on a couple winter backpacking trips with my pulk sled and heating it with the TMS Wood stove and a Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Propane Heater. OneTigris sent me the Smokey Hut to review and I gotta say it's one of the lighter, more affordable hot tent options on the market. It’s ultra light and made for backpacking.

This is KdawgCrazy, thanks for watching and I will see you... on the trail. More info about the tent: The Smokey Hut is made from a 20D Silnylon. The tent comes with 1 pole with stuff sack, 10 y-style tent stakes and 4 guy lines with stuff sack and the tent itself with a generously over sized stuff sack. For your wood stove you have an easy access Velcro flap that can be rolled up and secured to reveal a 22x22 cm stove jack port. OneTigris does also sell a stove jack made for this tent available on Amazon.com. The stove jack port seals shut with Velcro and is relatively water proof although I have not had a chance to test it in heavy rain. For colors, it comes in both beige and coyote brown and weighs in at just 27.6 oz. with stuff sack and 7 guy lines attached...according to my scale. The fixed length pole is 5.2 feet or 63 inch tall and weighs only 12.6 oz with stuff sack on my scale. It can of course be replaced with a branch or trekking poles or the tent can be pitched without the pole using the large loop attached at the peak of the tent. The dimensions of the tent are 10.4 feet in diameter by 5.2 feet tall which gives you a ton of room for one person, gear and a stove but you could still squeeze in one more person if you needed to. It sports one door with a water proof YKK zipper so you don't have to worry about snagging the zipper on a storm flap or getting any rain blowing in through that zipper. On the top you have 2 air vents but they don't really like to stay open. For stake out points you have 8 loops around the parameter and 7 guy out points to secure the tent against high winds or heavy snow fall. This tent also has a hidden set of stake out points/loops inside that are perfect for staking the tent lower to the ground which creates a snow flap all around the tent allowing you to throw on some snow to keep out cold drafts in the winter or rain and wind the rest of the year. Favorite features: • You got the hidden stake out points to pitch the tent with a snow skirt to block out cold drafts or rain • The Stove Jack port! Not a lot of tents include a stove jack port…especially tents in this price range • It’s Super light and compact compared to a lot of other hot tents. It's specifically MADE for ultra light backpacking! • It’s Very affordable around $140 plus on popular sites like Amazon.com. You could easily spend 2 to 3 times as much on a comparable hot tent. • It Comes in 2 colors...the Beige and Coyote Brown • It’s a true 4 Season Tent especially if you include the optional Mesh inner tent, sold separately • It’s Seam Sealed/Taped and water proof rated at 3000mm • The Generous sized loop at the Peak of the tent to pitch it without the pole using a branch or ridgeline or tripod • Nice reflective guy lines with adjusters… but it only comes with 4 guy lines and 7 are needed to pitch against high winds • There’s a Hook inside the peak to hang a lantern. Some manufacturers forget to add this simple and very helpful option • 10 nice y-style tent stakes...although they are green and would be easy to lose in green grass. But you could add a loop to the end of the stake that gives it more visibility • The Generously large stuff sack with drawstring...very easy to put the tent back in along with the pole and any small accessories. • And finally… I love the fact that it has an optional Mesh inner Tent called the Smokey Hut Inner Mesh Tent that can be purchased separately. It has a bathtub floor, a ton of bug mesh and one door with a YKK zipper. It weighs only 31 oz. with stuff sack…on my scale. It’s also made from 20D silnylon, is seam tape sealed on the bathtub floor and comes with a generously sized stuff sack and 8 tent stakes. It can be pitched separately on warm, dry trips or clipped into the Smokey Hut using the toggles attached to the mesh tent’s stake out loops. Just pop those into the plastic rings on the corresponding stake out points on the Smokey hut and then reinsert the pole inside the mesh inner tent for a great bug free experience.
