So glad you found your drone and figured out the stove. Another amazing video. So glad you are enjoying your blanket. ❤
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you. keep your head up everything will work out. so happy you found the drone. Awesome. Love your videos hope you keep them coming.
Do you have plans to insulate the walls?
Awesome Blanket!!! Good to see you got your stove working and you found your drone!! Nice clear cold night in the North! Miss those days!
either a tough tomato or a dull knife.
That’s great that you found your drone. What a beautiful blanket that your friend made for you. Chit chat corner sounds good to me. Merry Christmas to you and your family from Winnipeg.
Merrrrryyyy Christie’mas Derek!!! What an adventure.
I am glad you found your drone. Chit chat corner is good. Sub-Arctic Subjects or Bushcraft Bull Session
I would have just swept the pipes again, just to make sure it was not blocked and then cleaned the stove out to make sure nothing was preventing the smoke from going up into the pipe and out
Your videos are as much fun as one could hope for in the high winter Woods I for one am intertained
Hey i see you have 2.99 subscribed to your channel you will hit 3,000 shortly 🎉🎉😊😊
Good one Derek. What an amazing blanket to have. Well done to Marilyn.
mate its summer and bloody hot here so i enjoy your vids. i will never experience that sort of weather in my life. feel like i will die anytime it goes below 10 degrees. xmas gonna be stinking hot here. you blokes amaze me. thankyou.
Found Jay and found you.brrr
When the tape broke it would have been good to wrap a short piece of wire around the spool in its place?
Great video, glad you have the stove working now, and you found the drone! That horizontal section of pipe has a backwards joint, may be a problem. Enjoy that awesome tent!
Your horizontal pipe from the lobster back to the outside of the tent. Don’t have that pipe straight. Have it on an upward angle to the outside. So , shorten your horizontal pipe from the stove to the lobster back 90°. Like a tent stove , the front of the stove must be lower than the back. Hope this helps
Elbows restrict airflow. I think 20% or more. With two 90 degree elbows the draft is far more hindered than a straighr pipe out the roof. 1/4 inch creosote is some percentage of blockage of the diameter of the pipe. The more cresote, the less area for air to flow through. This should be checked if you cannot reach high temps or have down draft, or every 14 days in sub temperatures. Minimize creosote by burning dry wood. Minimize burning a low smoldering fire. Maintain a deep coal bed. Running the stove medium hot is cleaner than low. There are magnetic temp thermometers available that stick on the pipe that tell the burning temp. I think the most reliable is to route the pipe through the roof. If you must run through the wall; Adjust the elbows so they are slightly greater than 90 degrees to lower resistance. Install so the horizontal pipe so it has an incline of 2-4 inches...
Super happy you found your drone
Hey Derek! Good to see you! Like another subscriber said, I think the cold and wind may have overwhelmed the draft on your stove causing a downdraft . Hope you have a great Christmas and we’ll see on the next one! > Terry!
Good job on the stove.
Thanks for the new upload….. I felt stressed for you when the drone was gone off the grid. One thing I did when using the self tapping screws to screw the pipes together was drill pilot holes smaller than the screws you are using. The inner pipe shouldn’t push inwards after that and everything should draw tight together. The new power source looks like a dandy piece of gear for keeping the camp lit up at night and all your batteries charged up ready to fight ole Jack Frost. Merry Christmas to you and the family and hopefully the weather cooperates so you can get another night or two out bushwhacking again before the holidays are through. Stay safe, stay dry , stay warm….. and take er easy
Great Video, the blanket the woman made you looks amazing. I’m glad you found your drone , I have two of them and they are definitely not cheap, if it’s a DJI your controller should have a map location for the drone since the battery was still working. The night you got smoked out of the tent I wonder if it was windy outside and with the fire dying down it may have pushed the smoke back down the pipe, I know they make a spark arrestor that can solve that problem. Merry Christmas to you and the family.
Enjoyed your video, and like you said it’s so peaceful being out on the land.just a suggestion how about adding another tarp over top of the tent to help with keeping more heat in,or even an insulated tarp.since your stove pipes go through the side you wouldn’t need to cut a hole in the tarp.great channel love the content,cheers bro and merry Christmas.
I remember seeing it last video and forgot to comment; The highest point on the horizontal pipe going thru the wall looks like it´s the elbow straight over the stove. This means that heat (and smoke) will accumulate there instead of having a natural updraft thru the whole length of the pipe. This might cause some of it to puff out of the pipesleeve. I´d try to get just a few degrees of upward slope going all the way from the higest point of the stove elbow out thru the tent-wall. Easiest might be to just lower the whole stove a few cm. That said, it might just be the camerangles playing tricks on me, just food for thought.
I appreciate it’s a new camera, and kudos on how well you’ve already got on with it. I will say though.. the aspect ratio is a little wide.. great if you’re watching on an ultra wide screen , but it’s quite a bit of lost real estate on a standard 16:9 monitor or if like myself you’re watching on your widescreen tv. Even on my big tv… there’s huge black bands top and bottom. Be a shame not to just film in 16:9 . You do you though brother… it’s all appreciated. (I’m fully aware that it wasn’t all in super ultra wide screen.. .. the sled ride in the outro was in 16:9 ratio)
Been waiting for your video, I know the last one was frustrating for you. Glad the stove appears to be working out. For a cover for your woodpile, a friend of mine has his own videos. He's from just outside Saint John, New Brunswick. One of his videos is building one using pallets. If you're interested, it can be seen here. .www.youtube.com/@sparkys506adventures4/videos. Enjoy watching.
You are better off having your pipe going straight up out of the roof.
I call it the stove is flawing down lol.
I think the screws where the problem not enough draft especially cold night no wind it was like having a too short pipe
Yay you found you drone! You definitely looked happier lol. Great video again 👍
Wrap some ptfe tape around the threads, that should fix it.
You’ve just taught me something! I had no idea teflon tape had such a high temperature resistance until I researched it based off your comment! Thank you! I actually picked up some flue tape for this purpose. Gonna wait to use it after testing done other things out first. New video is coming out later today 😎
5:51 😅don’t wanna be that guy but I’m going back watching old videos it seems like the new the story telling seems much better this video seemed like was just a a montage of videos and just you and the family making memories 😊❤❤❤ love to see it.
Exactly what it was! All the best moments of everything up to this point in the channel history was captured in this video! It took a long time to make, but was very enjoyable to relive all the moments and re-read all the comments along the way!
Seeing that snow go by the camera 4:33 that looks it was cold.
It sure was! The fingertips nearly froze instantly whenever I needed to take the gloves off for something!
Just subbed Derek! Be safe out there!
Thanks John! As dangerous as it is, proper preparation can help mitigate is as much as we can! At least that’s the hope! 😅. Thanks for joining in with us!! //derek
Just discovered you from Jay’s Channel and loved how there was the intro ❤
Thank you! Editing takes so much work, and sometimes we pull out a product that makes us smile large. And it’s awesome to feel the support when it’s noticed. We really liked this intro! Thank you! And welcome! //derek
welcome as long your having fun keep on doing what you’re doing just remember there is always a chance it might not be for everyone.
@ for sure. And we keep playing with different things until we find what we like too. We only have 27 videos. Thousands more to come 😅
@ immma start watching this video and going back to watch the other videos 😊 didn’t mean to add the At tag lol.
@@snip3r416 go easy on us for the first videos. It was a learning process and we’re still learning 😅😅
Jay suggested your channel so I’m a new subscriber here from Fife in Scotland. I had never heard of bannock so had to google it 😂. Apparently they originated in Scotland and bannach is a Gaelic word meaning morsel and was cooked on a griddle called a bannock stone. It looks a bit like what we have here called butteries and in Aberdeenshire are called rowies.
I absolutely love Scotland. I made it as far as Edinburgh and would love to venture back someday. Maybe play a round in St. Andrew’s 😅. I would love to try out a butteries recipe if you’re willing to share a traditional one with us! Cheers and Welcome! //derek.

Who is the tent manufacturer
Airdrie Canvas in Alberta, Canada. You can find them on Facebook at: facebook.com/AirdrieCanvas. I doubt very much that they know about me, and I'm definitely not sponsored by anyone, but if you want to let them know I sent you, maybe they may like their tent being featured on TH-cam... or not... hahaha! Cheers! //derek
Good program. I like the different point of view that works best for each of you.
Thanks so much Douglas! Jay is a master of his trade for sure! We're still developing and learning different ways to be creative, so thank you so much for the opportunity to be one of your channel options! It means so much! //derek
From the net: Chimney dampers are small levers that open and close to regulate the smoke. If it’s too far open, it can invite cold air into the wood stove. If it’s too far closed, it’ll create a downdraft. This pressure change sends the smoke into the stove, causing it to permeate the room. Minor adjustments go a long way for chimney dampers.
I'll have to play around with these. The Osburn is a new to us stove and have only used it a handful of times so far. It has it's own damper and I have one on the pipe. I may take the pipe one out now that I have a stove with its own. Lot's of adjustments to be made while we grow! Thanks for looking some things up for us. It's a true community feel for sure! //derek
Don't beat yourself up, you're 1st video is far better than anything I could film and edit.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I guess we all have to start somewhere, eh? I bet you'd do great too! Let me know if you ever try and I'll be first in line to watch. Deal? //derek
About as exciting as watching paint dry.
Or water boiling 😅. I get it that we’re not going to satisfy everyone, but we’re really enjoying our progression through this. Thank you for giving us a chance though! //derek
Then don't watch. Duh.
My first watch. I enjoyed. Please share your channel so that we can see how exciting you make your outdoor arctic adventures.
Glad u woke up! Scary
Oh yes. But it wasn’t too bad. I’m just more keen than the carbon monoxide detector 😅
I figured u would have one! A great set up u have there. Nothing like that here.
Binge watching ❤
