Hot Tent Hoedown 2026

Описание: I joined my buddy Rob Pelton for the annual Hot Tent Hoedown along the St. Croix River in central Minnesota. About 20 people attended and enjoyed perfect weather for hot tenting. A little snow and temperatures dropping to -10F. I made a snow bed for the first time and it was great. Shelters ranged from a $78 hot tent to hammocks, to a 13'x13' hot tent.
