>>2011520>Has anyone spent considerable time in a glamping tent? What's it like?>I am thinking of buying rural land. But since it takes about a year to build a house, I thought I would live in a tent like this in the meantime. Use solar panels for energy. And piss/shit outside.>What do you guys think? Is a wood stove enough to keep warm at night? Can it get super hot during the day if you're in a warm climate? I wonder how you deal with those things.So by now I'm guessing you're serious about this, and I don't know if I'm either the best or the worst person to answer some of your questions and give you some pointers but here goes. What I'd say you're looking for, is
>sustainabilityAs in, a dwelling which sustains you, keeps you from wind, rain, cold, heat, keeps you fed and isn't a ton of work on itself. Something, where every new day won't start off worse than yesterday. I'm also guessing you don't want to blow most of your budget to this.
Now I have personaly spent considerable time in finnish army "half-platoon tents", which are durable tents meant for long term all-season living either up to a maximum of some 18 infantry men including gear. Ofcourse, the less people you have, the more comfortable it is. That is, until you get to the whole heating part. Now, the tents I lived in come with a wood stove, and those stoves will keep the inside at a comfortable 20 or so celcius when it's -40C outside. Thing is, it only keeps you warm as long as there is someone continually tending the fire. Over here we have this proverb about fire being a great worker and a terrible master. Now -40C isn't probably going to be a problem for you, I'm guessing at worst it drops down to somewhere close to zero at night over there. Every time we could get away with it, as in nobody from my tent had to stay awake during the night, and it wasn't too cold, we chose not to have a fire going trough the night as a good sleeping bag would be plenty enough to keep you warm.
