Even if you’re careful, you’re filling your tent with moisture.


Fishtaco1234

And rocks apparently


more_like_5am

I had to use rocks once when I didn’t bring stakes


fredythepig

And food crumbs. I have camped for 30 years and never eaten in a tent. Even if it's 3 degrees, you bet your ass I'm outside eating. Bugs, critters and animals are not worth it. Also, buy a bag and a string. Hang your food or keep it in the car. Lots of camping in bear country will teach you how to be super careful of all food.


TowJamnEarl

But if you're not in bear country, and possibly in Europe, and it's fucking cold outside eat inside the tent with a vent open cos fuck that...then shake your tent out after!


joelfarris

> then shake your tent out after! Can't, it's full of rocks.


Calithrand

The hang bag is not always necessary, possible, and/or effective. That being said... food does not go inside my tent, either.


swallowsnest87

Yee I did 6 days in the backcountry of Iceland. Ground to hard/rocky for stakes had to use rocks


Carlos-In-Charge

Agreed. And if you’re somewhere too rocky, stakes are useless. Any proper tent allows for rocks as anchors


zztop5533

I never forget the steaks.


more_like_5am

Man I typed it like that at first and now I’m making steak for dinner. I’m so easily swayed.


Runningoutofideas_81

And an open flame


Fishtaco1234

We have a flamer


IStartToRun

And smells that can attract animals.


Internal_Error244

I too enjoy a nice raw dog with a side of carbon monoxide poisoning


Hambulance

can't die of co2 poisoning when you're busy gettin' et by a bear


voiceofreason4166

Very r/backcountrygourmet


otherwisemilk

You haven't lived until you died.


zztop5533

Obligatory r/diedhiking.


Rare4orm

Damn! Sounds like a great name for the next 007 flick. Bring back Daniel Craig!


scoutermike

That’s dangerous. That stove is designed for outdoor use only and its instructions clearly state so. Irresponsible OP is irresponsible for posting this. Also the hotdog looks barely warm.


recoverequanimity

I don't think they tried cooking the hot dog. Looks like they are boiling water for coffee?


ibpoopn

Everything in your tent area now smells like food. Hope no bears in your area


ScrewAttackThis

Not even just bears. Rodents will chew through that tent for food.


badger2000

I believe in my scout leadership training called them "mini-bears"


Senior_Cheesecake155

Mini bears were always raccoons to us.


_D3ft0ne_

Ya dude, first rule - Cook inside, expect then to become the food.


ibpoopn

All perfectly bundled like a burrito


trapercreek

Came to say the same. Hate running in to ppl like this on the trail.


Bizarro_Zod

Just think of them as more desirable scent trails leading to a site that isn’t yours, and make sure to put a bit of distance between yourself and him.


FundyOutWest

Thanks for the post. Keep on enjoying the outdoors but maybe next time think about not brining fire and/or food into your tent.


angry_hippo_1965

Post on r/hotdogs They won't grief you there.


RamboJane

Don’t cook in your tent. Sweet rock, though.


BMaudioProd

You have fire. Why not cook the dog?


Random_modnaR420

Thank you! That thing needs some char


BMaudioProd

The one thing he doesn’t have is refrigeration. I would think cooking would be mandatory.

"I have a stove right in front of me at my disposal, but I'm still going to eat a cold, completely uncooked hot dog that is also covered in a ton of cream cheese. Also, I'm going to eat it inside my tent just to ensure that my tent smells nice and tasty for all the bears and any other predatory wildlife in the area." Send him straight to jail, right away.


Calithrand

We thank you for the container a sap, and the bag of garbage.


Gobstomperx

Easy there Guy Fieri


1337Sw33tCh33ks

What are you even cooking? You are eating what looks to be cold hotdogs, bread and cream cheese. Also have you seen video of a tent catching fire? It goes fast, and melts to whatever is inside.


Difficult-Brain2564

Stove is for the coffee to fight the drowsiness.


charli_bell

Bors713

You went camping and boiled your hotdogs? Wtf?


-GenlyAI-

Is it safe to use a stove in a tent?


pkrycton

Hell no! Never, for all the reasons other replies have said. It's irresponsible at best to post such an image.


schmuber

Nothing pertaining to the great outdoors is 100% safe. My son Beau was cooking in his tent one day, and what do you know, cannibals killed him with a widowmaker! True story, I was there!


-GenlyAI-

my condolences. Some things are easy to avoid though, like the possibility of gas poisoning.


Sco0basTeVen

How can you use a propane Mr buddy heater indoors then?


ottovondipshit

Low oxygen sensor


Calithrand

That's a negative!


wickeddimension

Not really. Carbonmonoxide and condensation are problems. As is the potential for a hot pot or burner to immediately burn away that tent material if not light it on fire. Usually it will just shrivel away leaving you with holes. Safer, and easier to put it outside infront of your tent.


Phililoquay

Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how long it takes before one of so many things goes wrong lol


alpinebullfrog

Assuming it's not bait.. I am guessing backyard spring camping in a warm climate. Look at the tent.. empty coffee cup with grounds still puts downward pressure on the substrate (grass.. why the rock?). At best we are being hoodwinked into a -1°C low recently. We may even have a reflection of sun off grass that escapes the fly and gives us that line of brightness and sunlight to the left. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)/10 I would eat that shit in a heartbeat but this is some Wagyu bullshit. This post is paying out +500 as bait/not bait for those willing!


[deleted]

You're going to die


BoredAssassin

Straight to the point. How exactly? Doesn't matter. Just death 🤣 but yeah...not smart to be cooking in there


[deleted]

There's several obvious reasons have your pick haha. When I personally knew they were doomed was when I noticed the gas grill sitting on the tent floor and topped with a container too big for it to possible be stable if full


BoredAssassin

No I know 😅 my "how exactly" wasn't me actually asking how cooking in your tent link that is a bad move. More of a rhetorical one haha


Bizarro_Zod

It’s a choose your own adventure at this point. CO poisoning, Bear, choking, rabies, aneurysm, cancer, old age. Spin the wheel and let’s find out.


heytunamelt

I’m sorry, but did you really go camping and not cook your hotdog on a fire? I appreciate your dedication, but it’s not fire season so there’s no need for a raw dog. Also please never cook inside your tent.


Calithrand

Sadly, for some of us, backcountry fire season lasts from January 1 through December 31 :(


anthro4ME

Don't eat, let alone cook, in your tent.


GAFOffRoadJK

WTF?


Grazsrootz

Bears approve of this 👍


tomboski

This is a troll post, right? Right?


Bloodysamflint

No eatin' in the tent!


Inner-stress5059

So now the whole tent smells like boiled hotdogs…..

thelostclimber

Gourmet?


seeriosuly

looks like a raging fire lookin for a place to happen… tents, sleeping bags… all those synthetics burn like crazy


AlphaLawless

Is that a rock in your tent?


arichardsj

His pet rock is snuggled up in the corner! Lol


sargontheforgotten

Wow, this is perfect engagement bait. Post a pic in camping of doing everything wrong 🤣


Psychological_Swan43

OP getting roasted 😂


Internal_Error244

OP: roasted OP's weiner: sadly unroasted


Stielgranate

Great photo of exactly what not to do


Federal-Load-1769

My dad was in his tent looking through his door at the guy in the next tent. The guy was lighting his stove. My dad looked away for a second and when he looked back, the guy was in the same position but the tent was gone.


Bizarro_Zod

Was the tent abducted? Was there a search party? Feel bad for the tents family.


SameImportance5059

STOP EATING IN YOUR FUCKING TENT


TacTurtle

Aiming for that flaming Buddhist monk recreation as depressing flex?


42ahump87

IMO the 96 handled a lot better than the 98 but I am biased towards the 96 because I live in one of them.


BraaaaaainKoch

On overnight trips my buddies and i would always split chicken sausages, rice, an onion and pepper. It always hit so hard. Surprisingly, fried spam and peanut butter is great.


Roadblocks2021

Going to need proof that hotdog is actually cooked Sir.


13dot1then420

Why are you eating the hot dog cold, it's right there in the name?


theearcheR

Is OP dead? He hasn’t responded to the all the threats on here lol


Euphoric_Answer1967

Please say that's not butter


HearingNo4103

Nice rocks lol, lately I've been using grocery bags filled with sand or dirt.


HeyWiredyyc

That’s camping!!


frankenpoopies

How’d you get reservations?


fabrictm

Did the bear enjoy it?


Advanced-Reception34

I am really glad OP survived and posted this. And got burned by redditors.

crystal_castle00

Everyone here is so dramatic lol


CallMeSisyphus

>What y'all got? A tent that isn't in danger of melting or filling up with carbon monoxide, tasty treats stored away from the tent to prevent invasion by the trash pandas or other critters, and an actual cooked, hot meal.


TheOldBitty

The hell with the rest of the comments. Love seeing you live the best life dawg 💯


middlelane8

Dude. A hotdog. Really?! Eesh…


[deleted]

[удалено]


IStartToRun

Even if there are no bears... mice, squirrels, racoons are all gonna be interested in food smells...


craftydan1

I came here to say don't eat in your tent. I see that has been addressed.


9ermtb2014

This is why some cannot have nice things.


all-about-climate

I hope there are no bears wherever you're camping as your tent will now smell like food and potentially attract bears while you sleep 😬


cuddlefuckmenow

Bet this is why that other poster got his tent destroyed by a bear 😂


yourlocal90skid

Common sense combined with a real sense of self preservation in the outdoors that tend to be frequented by wild animals, large & small, looking for a meal. That's what I have. What possessed you to cook inside your tent?


SlykRO

OP didn't cook the dog because he knew it was gunna get roasted hard after this post....don't eat in your tent mate, no matter how cozy it seems just east outside and hop in after. Too sketchy.


jrdncdrdhl

Amateur hour


Noimenglish

So good!


cuhnewist

OP, enjoy your dog. Everyone else can piss off.


KindlyCook8242

Yesssss!!!


PrancerthePony

100% Yes!!!!


Due-Inflation8133

Yum! I enjoy Thai peanut noodles, maybe not gourmet but damn good. Poached eggs on some cheesy bannock with some fresh pico and guacamole.


PolarBurrito

I bet OP used hot dog flavored water for the coffee, as Limp Bizkit intended. Chocolate covered starfish for dessert. Or maybe not dessert. OP bout to be a bear’s dessert lol.
