Many people choose to camp in winter. Traditional camping tents are usually single pole tents with poles attached. OneTigris has produced a hammock-style winter camping tent. TEGIMEN Hammock Awning & Hot Tent does not require poles, and mainly uses ropes and tent nails to fix and support the tent.
Why Choose OneTigris TEGIMEN Hammock Awning & Hot Tent?
A product completely shields a hammock or hot tent camper from the wind and rain, also enabling tent stoves to be used when winter camping. Some may ask, why hammock camping in the winter? Because melting snow means cold and wet gear/attire, and a hammock will keep you nice and dry above the ground. “Tegimen” means protection, covering, and body armor in Latin, and this shelter awning is exactly that. It’s a cost-efficient, lightweight and compact solution for bushcrafters and outdoor loving folks that has a sod skirt to prevent winter chills from seeping in through the bottom gaps, and burning stove compatibility with heat retention functionality for you to stay warm with a burning stove.

Hot Tent Comments:

Most of the hot tent camping enthusiasts have a very high evaluation of this camping tent with a hammock design because setting a hammock in the tent seems to be a difficult thing to achieve in traditional tent camping. This hammock tent meets this demand. You can set up a hammock in the tent and lie in it to enjoy a good leisure time. The internal space of the tent is large enough, even after the hammock is set, there is still enough space for other camping equipment such as a tent wood stove. The tent has good warmth retention. Burning wood in the tent for heating, there is no need to worry about the coldness of winter camping. When using wood stoves, you must pay attention to ventilation, which is very important to avoid the danger of excessive carbon monoxide concentration inside the tent.
Since this tent is a hammock-type tent, the stability of the tent is relatively lacking compared with that of a single-pole tent. In use, if you encounter blizzards and windy weather, it is easy to cause instability and even collapse of the tent. Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the snow that has fallen on the tent in time. The place to build a tent must be on relatively flat ground and a place with strong trees. The two trees used to build the tent must be at a certain distance, so that the shape of the tent can be tightened and straightened, thereby reducing the possibility of the tent collapsing.
Advantages:
- Lightweight, small storage volume, easy to carry
- The space is large, and there is still enough space for activities after the hammock is installed inside, which makes people feel comfortable.
- The hammock has a novel design and has a certain distance from the ground. This prevents the infestation of ground reptiles while sleeping, and at the same time avoids the discomfort caused by wet ground.
- With two chimney openings, the position of the furnace can be adjusted according to requirements.
Disadvantages:
- There is no support pole to fix the tent, only through the wind rope and ground nails. The tent is easy to deform in bad weather.
- The hammock lacks stability compared with ordinary camp beds. Pay attention to safety when using it, not suitable for people who are too fat.
Conclusion：
if you want a hammock, this tent is a good choice. Large space and good warmth retention. It can add some different fun to your winter camping.
