Looking good man!👍
I live in a 2006 Citroen Berlingo van which is very small and now in the winter months it is cold no matter how much insulation I have in it, except here in England UK we don't get the freezing winters you get, what I wear to keep me warm is a Thermal Coverall like a boiler suit and a lumberjack thermal shirt over the top if it's really cold, as mentioned in my previous comment stay safe dear friend
You're not supposed to plug heaters into extension cords you know
God bless the man who got you that heater. It warms my heart that there are still good and giving people in this world. Stay warm and stay encouraged.
There are videos on YT that detail several ways to make these heaters run quite, simple mods. Also several videos about temporary installation outside a vehicle with quick disassembly for travel. So glad you got this heater.
Bro, I watch your videos in my bus. Parked in the woods. In the warmth provided by 2 diesel heaters.
If you had a heated blanket you would be good
I ended getting a pad it works great!
Hey Strive, if ya get a sec, check your email. Have a large day tomorrow and make it matter. :)
GOD is Love ❤️
Somebody needs to invest in a Gatorade bottle
Wouldn't be a bad idea lol
Hey, can I ask what editing app you use?
Yeah, capcut.
@@StriveSurvive Won't that get cut if TikTok is banned?
I don't know. All I know is it still works if you had it downloaded already, except all the features are basically offline and I've had it crash a few times (The same week I put out 2 VIDEOS!) Luckily all I really need is to merge and trim files, if I have to download a different app no big deal.
@StriveSurvive Thanks. The other van lifer I spoke about before is worried about that and I thought I'd ask around on what others use. Thank you so much. I hope your heater is keeping you warm.
HEATER VIDEOOOO WOOT GLAD YOU CAN STAY WARM THIS WINTER 🔥
Thank you this things awesome!
@StriveSurvive can't wait to see what you've got for us next
God love the chap that bought that heater and fuel for you, I certainly hope good Karma comes his way, you would be surprised how helpful people really are, I had someone help me many moons ago when I was sleeping on the streets in Scotland in winter, I couldn't afford to stay anywhere while I was trying to get back on the Oil rigs and this chap like the chap who helped you found it in his heart to help me, of course when I did get back offshore on the Rigs I did repay his generosity, Now Trumps back in Power hopefully your luck will change my friend, peace and love
Wow, $250. Doing much better than most
That is a very kind subscriber! Don't forget to keep a CO2 alarm as well as any other safety alarms nearby (fire, etc!). Stay warm.
Yes he is! I picked one up! Thank you have a good night!
Im glad for you man, wish I lived closer to you
Thank you appreciate that! Where you at?
@StriveSurvive indiana
I'm so happy someone gave you the diesel heater. You're a good dude and you deserve good things to happen
Appreciate that you feel that way buddy. I feel bad because i know there are other people struggling
Hey dude, diesel heaters are great but don't forget to get a CO detector/alarm in there!
I know I picked one up! Appreciate it have a good one
Your truck might be using more gas if your tires spin a lot while driving and having the heat on high, i have a 2 wheel drive suburban with a 6.0 gas engine and it drinks gas
That's a big vehicle in general! Plus it's got that v8 I couldn't imagine your millege on that!
Diesel heater lot heat and cheap to run man
Diesel heater cheap to run or a small wood stove.
I might get a wood stove later but not for the truck 🤔
God works in mysterious ways, my friend. You met a man of faith. That type of gesture and kindness is a love from one place only. Thats a blessing.
@nateg4236 amen, isn't it so awesome how God works.🙌
I stumbled onto your video and I enjoyed the real life of truck living, I pray that everything will get better for you, my faith in God has always pointed me in the rite direction and he will get you where you need to be, be blessed in everything you do
Don't be afraid to accept help man.... All people need help whether they admit it or not that's the facts.. I just subscribed to your channel.. God bless stay safe 💯🙏
Good God! Low 90s and you're almost thinking about taking off your sweater. Mr. Asbestos over here.
I "watch" your videos a second time around to help your channel grow.
As long as your enjoying them buddy! Appreciate ya!
Good guy doing something good for a good guy ...
I'm happy for you, man!! I'm jealous too cuz those are really good heaters. Awesome!!!🤘
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your situation gets better!
Dude you are dialed now, this heater will be a game changer for sure. Bring on the heat!!!!😎😎💯💯
Nice gift a -20 is obviously not cheap! I thought my zero degree were badass
It was a nice surprise and very generous of him. Made sense though I spent like 2 days in a row insulating the back he probably thought I needed it lol. The whole thing was nice he even gave me privacy to film!
Awesome. No need for my foam with that!!!!!!
It's greatly appreciated! Still wouldn't mind finishing upgrading the insulation later, it's just not as big of a rush now lol
Awesome bro I'm thinking imma gonna go diesel instead of my little buddy! That thing will keep ya toasty toasty!!! HOLY always sends the coolest people❤
Definetly man! Good reason it was highly recommended and I will say the same. It's just a diesel furnace!
Check out on of Foresty Forest early videos. He shows how to buffer that ticking sound on the diesel heater. Wishing the best for you brother! One day at a time.
I've been meaning to watch more of his videos. The deeper I go down the rabbit hole myself the less youtube I intake. Appreciate that hope you well bro thank you and have a nice night
@@StriveSurviveHe is great, yes now he has a large following and is getting paid from TH-cam, but when he started out he was Broke like many of us. He lived in van cause rent was too much. He is learned by making mistakes, I would take what he has done and use it to your camper as best as possible . Little bit as you can afford. Thake care brother.
Wow, so fantastic! And may God bless the benefactor who made this happen- thank you so much for caring 👍🙏👍 Hcalory is supposed to be one of the better Chinese brands for these. Read the instructions on how to set these up safely. Check out vids on upgrades for these to quieten the pump and for fuel lines, some of the green and clear ones are supposed to not be so good. The air intake should be outside far enough away from the exhaust to not draw in fumes from there. I'm sure you'll optimize the setup once you learn how it works. It will sure be cheaper to use than the Buddy heater and safer too. Man I'm glad you've got this thing. I hope to order one of the cheaper ones this weekend for myself.
Thanks!
Hey flo! Appreciate it as always! Did you make that video yet?
@StriveSurvive been real sick and gonna change my channel name and start a new one, still a real meaningful named one. Ya got a VPN to suggest? Can't have every Tom, Dick and Harry knowing who I am, and where I'm from. Hahaha
When I get back on my feet health wise, gonna roar.
Wow, this is the absolute best!!❤
Thanks so much for sharing. Inspiring. So many great people❤
Those all in one heater units work great for the back of a truck. Put one in my ranger it was a game changer. A true blessing ✌️
you have real potential here bro. real content not with reaction videos
Thank you... reaction videos? That's like a whole genre.
Keep up the great work with your videos!
Thank you so much appreciate the support and for watching! Hope you have a good day and rest of the weekend! ❤️
Bingo!!!
there are more good people than bad people out there
Man so good to see that there are good hearted genuine people still out there. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. You know I'm still keeping up with your journey, and I'm glad to see you've got your heat situation solved. God bless you brother! 😊
I appreciate that brother! Bless you to, hope your channels coming along. My first 100 subscribers took like 4 or 5 months so don't get discouraged!
Bless that man. What a nice dude.
Heck yeah my guy! I like that you mention fahrenheit and celsius. And 93° i would say is t shirt temp lol
Thanks to the fella who got you that heater. Also, if you need more wood, check behind stores, you can find some old pallets that they throw out, also check local housing development, they usually throw tons of good scrap in the dumpster and those guys will usually be happy to give it away. Keep your head up man, things will come together. Life's a garden, you gotta dig it, plant good seeds, and when the time is ripe, the harvest will be plentiful. Keep on keepin on. What doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger, one day you will look back at all of this, and the story will be told. Be sure to point that exhaust at an angle to where it won't blow back into the direction of the truck, don't hesitate to put an extension on it temporarily as you use it. You ain't alone brother!
Hang in there! You're certainly welcome here! I'm in Historic New Castle Delaware. General contractor. Working like crazy to support the lazy!
Soon enough your channel will be called Strive and THRIVE! This is a moment in time, not forever.
Appreciate you rooting for me bud! That's awesome!
