      It came with both a solid and a net top. They are no longer in business by the way. I found that I generate too much water vapor to use the solid top (plus I like to see out) the bug net holds in a fair amount of heat and I have found that to be enough so I keep the solid top stored away.

    I find it easier to thread your pulling wire if you do NOT pre expand the rope. By leaving the rope as is, it retains some stiffness and makes it rather easy to push the rope over the wire pulling tool.

    Good video friend. I was wondering, for the one you already have made what material is the pink band around the pot made of? Is there not a risk of it melting with the heat? I see it’s purpose though. It holds the caldera half way up the pot so you can get a stove under while still being able to store the caldera in the pot when not in use. Nice Atb

    Nice. Are the top vent holes blocked by the pot or does the cone shape allow for heat to escape? Mine came out blocked. I may need to make it slightly larger to leave space for the vents. How did yours work out?

    • @PaCampingDad
      @PaCampingDad 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is some airflow, but it's restricted somewhat. I added a lot more vent holes that I originally tried. There needs to be the right amount of flow for your stove, too little and it burns slow, too much heat trapped and the aluminum will start to deform, too much flow then it is just a pot stand.

  • @Hoerlimax

    I like your video. However, as I was planning to replicate the setup, I realized that I could not, because at least one of the measurements is missing. It think either one of the following two measurements would give me the information I am looking for: 1. the radius of outer circle (which is the length of the coat hanger and plastic combined) 2. length of the outer arc (or equivalently the circumference or the diameter of the caldera cone when set up) Can you by chance still provide any of these measurements? That would make this demonstration video an instructional video. And me a small bit happier ;-)

    21:25 You realize, your drill press has a depth stop, right? No need to guess if they're all the same size, just set the stop to where the right step pierces the sheet, and pull the handle til it stops. 28:05 You can also touch up the back side of the holes with the uni-bit. Easy-peasy. Just touch the next larger size to the rough edges of the holes.

    I can't decide where to best locate the hardware (Dutchware Fleaz)... on the tarp/tent tie-outs, on the guyline tied to the peg, on the peg itself? I have multiple tarps and want the ability to have set everything set up at the same time if I chose to. Using the same tensioning hardware would be easiest.

    • @PaCampingDad
      @PaCampingDad 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's really a personal preference. I keep my tarps fully ready to go with everything except stakes (I use LineLocks for the tie outs). I will often change the stakes that I bring depending on the area that I am going to and the current conditions (soggy ground, frozen ground, very rocky....). Others don't like to have any thing attached to their tarp and keep their stakes rigged with tieouts. Another factor is the material of the tarp; if it is nylon then you will need something to take up the slack that will happen due to the stretch of nylon. This is not a big deal if you have poly/low stretch fabric. Experiment
