It’s been a while since we’ve talked, the last time I was still in a wheelchair. I can walk again and I have about 70% use of my arm again. I’m up to walking 1/2 mile again. I may never go back to the overland hikes or miles on end but I’m not going to give up. I remember you making that stove. Love the video.
As time moves forward, Lonnie looks more and more like Gandalf. He is a treasure of the bushcraft community and we all cherish him. Great video and very informative.
Wow, this is one of the most comprehensive videos I have watched on tent stoves. I really enjoyed how you presented the stoves that are available on the market as well as the homemade ones, also the one your friend made for you. I also appreciate your sharing of the personal likes and dislikes for each of them. Thank You, and God Bless You.
This video is like a present, when you started off with all those stoves I couldn't believe it, always a channel to learn from, it's been a while so great to see a video and well done on the 350k subs too. Thanks very much.
My gosh Lonnie and Connie!!! What a well done video!!! I've always wanted to camp in a hot tent and this video answered all my questions about stoves! You two always have high quality videos and are a pleasure to watch!!! Thank you and God Bless!!! p.s. Connie does a fantastic job filming!!! 👍👍👍
@@joefkollathkollath7325 Ha ha no problem, for what it's worth it's a great comment, I'm with you, they're great and I always watch to learn, thanks a lot.
That old military stove, is a Yukon Stove. I've spent many winter nights in a tent in the Alaskan interior, being grateful for having that stove. It saved our lives many times (172ND INF). We spent Jan & Feb in tents. There's a liquid fuel carburetor that attached to that big hole top front. Supposed to be for diesel, we used gasoline more often. It lit easy, sometimes too easy.
Yes you are correct. It is a Yukon Stove. At the time I purchased that stove about 40 years ago I could have also bought the liquid fuel system for the stove and I did not. Many times since, I have wished that I had purchased it
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Maybe the liquid fuel system for that Yukon Stove could be found online. Don't know what the military uses now. I wold imagine they have moved on to something more modern. There must be some left in Alaska here or there. We had hundreds of them back then. If you find one, be sure to use a "drip loop" in the fuel line outside and away from the tent. It keeps any line or tank leak from running down the outside of the flex line to the tent floor. Could save your life (definitely your equipment). Good luck.
Thank you Lonnie and Connie. In each of your videos I learn something new me and my grandfather used to do bushcraft together we would do crawdad traps I got pinched by one when I was 8 years old he was trying to help me get it off but he was laughing to hard and so was I; It makes it more difficult for me to explore and practice survival due to epilepsy which I was diagnosed at the age 6 which I am now 15. Bushcraft and survival is the number one thing I like to do I never did care to much for technology I enjoy manual work. My grandfather had a stroke in 2019 and I had brain surgery iv had 8 different surgeries but have had surgery 20 times
I've always liked the look of the 55 gal stoves, lots of good memories of exploring backcountry BC and finding old cabins with them. My father has made all the stoves I have ever used in tents while hunting or camping. Working as a steel fabricator he could always get scraps from pipe jobs where the ends are too short or cut improperly. He built a smaller one out of some thick scrap, and had the blacksmith make a coiled handle, while the damper/air intake was one he built himself with a bit of deer antler. Later he built a bigger one in the same vein, but of a thinner gauge steel, and very similar features, while only weighing about as much as the smaller one. Both of these stoves will definitely outlast him, and likely myself as well, and I'm thankful to have use of them.
That’s awesome! Got some questions if you’ll answer them: Was it stainless steel? What was the antler doing for the air intake? Do you have any photos/videos to share? -Alistair
I was just tickled to find out there are companies that still make wood burning kitchen stoves. Don't get much bigger than that but it's for a house instead of a tent. Some have small water tanks built in and others can be hooked up to the water line.
You are a walking talking salesman with real world knowledge and experience of Having and operating a hot tent. I really like that short barrel stove your buddy made. I still have the stove I made from your Video. It works well in the tarp shelter I have set up in the woods. Thanks Lonnie.
It is certainly fantastic to have you back Mr. Lonnie Thanks for another informative video. You and MS. Connie were definitely missed. Welcome Back. Glad to see your both well.
Love the channel here in The Blue Ridge Mountains Of Western North Carolina. I'm almost 2,500 feet above sea level here in my little mountain holler, the only good jobs up in these old mountains are mining quartz which I do 7 day's a week. I love learning and your channel is very informative, up here we teach our children to adapt and survive on what you can hunt or catch in our mountain streams! We have never had much a new house, new car and so on, but we always had food on the table and a place to lay our head's down at night, and we are always thankful for the life we all live up here!
This was an invaluable video; many thanks to you and Connie. You have a peacefulness about you that helps calm the soul these days. I'm looking forward to your next video. God bless you both.
By far, this is my favorite bushcraft channel on youtube. Greatly enjoy learning all you have to teach, especially the fundamental things most channels skip over. Enjoy this autumn, God Bless from NYC
I just wanted to thank you for all the warm nights your knowledge has taught me. The Siberian all night fire is my favorite! Go watch the vid ppl! You are a great man. Thank you again.
I've camped out in winter many times and I've found that even if you have the smallest Ammo Can wood burning stoves, if you have one of those heat powered fans blowing the warm air off the stove around, it doesn't matter how small the stove is because the fan will help spread the heat around A Lot instead of it just floating up into the highest portion of the tent. But, you will be putting more wood into your stove more often, but with the right dampener settings, you'll be getting that back under control. I like your video. First time being here, but really like the information you provide. Thank you. Subscribing now 😀
Excellent video Lonnie and Connie I and many of us appreciate your contribution to making Humanity better with this knowledge of our past👍..... and unfortunately while Global corporations trying to erase and eradicate ancient knowledge silently and nonchalantly so that they can control our mentality and livelihood sucks 😤 most of us can ignore the BS and learn from those who really know, thank you!!!
Really, really enjoy watching all your videos and learning how other people do things. I really appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it. There's no place better than the great outdoors, untouched by modern society. Truly GODS country. Thank you.
started thinking about what size stove i should get and the next words out of your mouth were “how large of a stove do you want?” great videos & explanations
This is very interesting to me. I'm quite familiar with heavy steel wood stoves, and homemade drum stoves, but I know jack squat about portable stoves, and the new age take on how they're fabricated along with the plethora of bells and whistles. The water tank with a spigot is genius, and it leaves the stovetop open. Great presentation, loaded with a wealth of useful info! - Godspeed
Thank you Lonnie and Connie for this important video. I've watched you make a couple of those stoves. Your safety information is very timely for October. Cheeers!
This video is 13 years old wow you are a elite craftsman thank you Bow and drill Tutorial 1 and two videos from 13 years ago the first video was on how to make a fire in super wet conditions your awesome wow then the snow one were you cut the tree down to two or three feet high made half way cut put bur lap to catch ambur my spelling is horrible sorry I have learned so many cool lessons making fatt wood I have a lot more to learn than hopefully try thank you Lonnie again I’m David
Thank you Mr. Lonnie the for making this very informative, educational video. Man, what a nice, well taken care of wood stove collection you have there.
You have a look and sound like Father Time. As I watch I can just tell you know what you are talking about. You have superior communication skills. Thank you for sharing your many years of knowledge so well.
I have stayed away from glass sence the glass exploded in my stove at home. I have built several tent stoves for myself and 1 for a friend. Not 1 has had glass. All have had baffles and gaskets around the door. I'm glad I found your channel.
Great vid on stoves. I've watched you make that one about three times now. I'm still amazed. Thanks for explaining many of my questions I had about the ones you showed. Take care and stay safe, my friends.
Oh my goodness. Lonnie it is so good to see your notification come up. I've been worried about you two. I hope all is well with you and Connie. I Love watching you two enjoying what the Lord made for us. Y'all are an inspiration to so many people who enjoy outdoor living. God Bless you both 🙏
Great to have you both back again after the summer pause ! And thank you for your very interesting review of the different kind of stoves and their advantages as well as disadvantages! With titanium, I think, I would have problems, when damages needed to get repaired in such a way like soldering, brazing or welding. As I have tried it once soldering would not work, and with brazing and welding the metal would start to oxidize and produce a white smoke of TiO2. So this needs to be done under an inert gas flow. And titanium gets brittle in the cold and the wear may be higher inside the oven. But otherwise it is hard (Mohs hardness: lead 1.5, aluminium/gold 2.5-3, iron 4.5, titanium 6, steel 7-8), light (densities: aluminium 2.70 g/cm3, titanium 4.5 g/cm3, iron 7.87 g/cm3, stainless steel up to 8 g/cm3, lead 11.29 g/cm3, gold 19.3 g/cm3) and mostly chemically inert, so that it is used for long term implanted prothesis in the human body.
He's alive! So glad to see another vid! Hot tent...so ready for the cold weather. I live in the High Rockies and aspens came n gone. Doing the great "gear exchange" right now...airing out n repairing winter gear. Ah...at last! Soooo ready for the ..cold! Perfect timing Lonnie!
What I use for a spark arrestor combined with the galvanized HVAC tubing is "Kwik Mesh" (brand name) gable vent screen. It comes in a roll. I use the 6 inch by 25 foot roll. Cut off a section to fit the tubing - I use 6 inch diameter tubing that matches my 6 inch diameter rocket stove that I had custom made by a welding shop - I use the stove more as a porch heater/firepit than a stove. At the top of the "vent" tube I use a 6 inch galvanized rain cap. I cut a strip of the mesh approx. 20 inches long (6 inch diameter times Pi or 3.14 equals 18.84 inches) which gives a little overlap. Roll it to fit inside the rain cap, push it all the way up inside the cap as far as it will go and then use a couple of screws (pre drill the holes) to hold it in place. Works great, although I don't know about soot build up as that I haven't used it enough for that to become an issue as yet. I'm sure this would work for 4 inch diameter tubing as well.
This was great! I especially love the one you made! I've been thinking about buying one so I don't need to use my propane heater... I don't have a bunch of extra money, and really like to see this many stoves and appreciate all the extras you made! Thank you so much! I'm really glad I found this Channel!
I've found a good way to deal with creosote is to run a very hot fire in the stove once per day (usually first fire of the day). It tends to melt the creosote and it drips back down to the firebox to be burn again. The rest of your stove pipe cleaning tips with the branch, I have done as well. I've not tried the stainless steel scrubby. I also use a stove pipe thermometer to make sure I am burning the stove hot enough to not produce creosote.
I think I need to confess I had some wood stove envy there. I thought I had the largest collection around. Well made video Lonnie with lots of great wood stove knowledge from someone who has been there done that. Enjoyed this a lot. Also thanks for the shout out, I picked up some new subscribers today and couldn't figure out why......until now.
As I said in the video, some of the stove knowledge that I have came from my association with you. Glad some folks decided to sub your channel. I meant to place text over the video in the location where I mentioned you as you are sometimes difficult to look up on TH-cam due to varying ways that your channel name can be written. Alas though I forgot to do so.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Do you live up here in Alaska? I would love to take that Kimbak Wood Stove Kit clean it up and put it on a half barrel for you.
yes I'm an Alaskan. you have my interest. However I'll bet that might be expensive as there would be quite some time and labor involved. That old stove has faithfully heated several of my larger tents including homemade tents for many years. I had a 12X14 foot custom made canvas wall tent that Alaska Tent And Tarp make up for me and that was the stove I used in it. The stove was a wee bit small for that large of a tent when the temps were well below zero but I was still mighty glad I had it. I sold that tent to a another local.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I could put it in a 55 gallon or one of my custom cut down half barrels for u. I enjoy the work. I have cleaned those old kits up before. They are so hard to find these days. I keep my eye out for them all the time. UNLEeeeSs u would like to sell that Kimbak kit to me. I have one in my workshop. Love them.
Lonnie, I love the videos that you and Connie put out. Please keep it up. I have a channel but it is only so I can make comments. I don't produce any content because it looks time consuming and I don't need the income either. But I do have a good Idea now and then that I try to share with those of you that do create good content, when it's relevant to their video. Since part of this has been about DIY stoves, I wanted to tell you about a good source for a DIY stove pipe. Campbell's Chunky soup cans make a great take down stove pipe. The cans are bigger on one end than the other and if you use a side cutting "safety" can opener on each end, you are left with one end that fits nice and snug into the end of a second can. It's very easy to press 4 cans firmly together to create a pipe section and then press a series of those pipe sections together more gently ( so they can be taken apart for storage inside the stove ) to make a pipe of the length you need for your tent. The metal is substantial but not overly heavy and the cans are of a good diameter for venting a small or medium stove. And as a side bonus, I really like eating many of the varieties of soups in the Chunky line. Try it out, if you eat that soup, or if your willing to risk a few bucks to just get the cans ( I recommend New England Clam Chowder and Sausage and Chicken Gumbo) and if you like the idea, feel free to make a video of it. I would love to see the idea shared. Thank's for the videos, the distraction in this day and age is priceless. Peace.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Is that titanium sheet pipe really 9 feet long? I figured it was closer to 6 or 7 feet. My idea is meant more for a 6 or 7 foot chimney of the diameter generally created by those roll up pipes. What is the diameter of the rings that form that pipe.
Some of my titanium roll up stove pipes are 6 feet and some are 9 feet. I have the seek outside 8 man tipi as well as a similar height homemade pyramid style tarp tent and they requires tall stove pipes especially since these breakdown stoves are so short. My Large seek outside titanium breakdown stove requires a different diameter pipe than the Pomoly stoves. The SO pipe rings are about 3 inches and the P stove pipes are about 2.5 inches.
I just decided yesterday to come looking for you. WOW that is a lot of stove. You get your hands on a bunch of vinegar, paper towel, and some garbage bags. Now.. you soak the paper towels with vinegar, plaster them on the rust, bag it up. You will eat every bit of rust off in no time. You can be rid of it easy as can be with just brushing it off, or bristle brush not wire because no need to scratch the metal, putting the paper towels back on, come back, repeat til gone. Well that or naval jelly, but I havent seen that since I learned the vinegar trick. They used to sell it.*shrug* Im a fan of side shelves too and hot water heaters too! Nothing better than a nice hot water bottle for the bed too, I just use a two liter bottle and wrap with a small towel. Good stove education! Hope to see more of you two! Glad to.
I also use the hot water bottle for warmer nights in the sleeping bag occasionally. However I drop ours into thick natural fiber socks. I have also used vinegar to remove bad rust on cast iron cookware by just submerging them in a 50/50 diluted vinegar and water mix. never thought of soaking paper towels and sealing the item off from air circulation. Great idea.
It’s been a while since we’ve talked, the last time I was still in a wheelchair. I can walk again and I have about 70% use of my arm again. I’m up to walking 1/2 mile again. I may never go back to the overland hikes or miles on end but I’m not going to give up. I remember you making that stove. Love the video.
Awesome. May your recovery be rapid and complete
Ty quick response.
Never heard of rolled up pipe, more inclined use triple thick stove pipe.
That's what was asking.

Tough, god bless you
@@daleval2182 thank uou
Wow! Glad to hear you are getting better!

I was going to say that too!! He's wise like him too!!

OMG! I was thinking the same thing. Hahaha. Bushcrafting wiseman sharing his knowledge for good.
YOU.SHALL.NOT.PASS!!!!
Never thought of glass preventing warping! Great point
I also, I was wondering how you folks were doing? Good too see ya still, God be with ya folks! ☺

Toilet brush. Never thought of that one but it ought to work.
Hi, nice to see you again, we have been missing you 😊 We hope all is well with you both.
Happiness is father Lonnie and a Sunday morning coffee
The 55-gallon barrel stove amazes me. How Charlie "Peened" over the edge left a flawless finish. Amazing.

finally, i was so worried about you two. What a nice video, worth waiting.
I use a used teabag to clean the glass.
I enjoyed it very much!
Lots of history here going way back. Love the variety and information. Thanks for sharing.
He's alive! So glad to see another vid! Hot tent...so ready for the cold weather. I live in the High Rockies and aspens came n gone. Doing the great "gear exchange" right now...airing out n repairing winter gear. Ah...at last! Soooo ready for the
..cold! Perfect timing Lonnie!
Hello there Connie and Lonnie. Nice to see you again. Thanks for sharing. Really miss your videos. Greetings from Chile
Very interesting Lonnie,I learned a lot about tent stoves .
Thank you Lonnie & Connie for your time & effort with this video. 🏕 ⛺️
What I use for a spark arrestor combined with the galvanized HVAC tubing is "Kwik Mesh" (brand name) gable vent screen. It comes in a roll. I use the 6 inch by 25 foot roll. Cut off a section to fit the tubing - I use 6 inch diameter tubing that matches my 6 inch diameter rocket stove that I had custom made by a welding shop - I use the stove more as a porch heater/firepit than a stove.
At the top of the "vent" tube I use a 6 inch galvanized rain cap. I cut a strip of the mesh approx. 20 inches long (6 inch diameter times Pi or 3.14 equals 18.84 inches) which gives a little overlap. Roll it to fit inside the rain cap, push it all the way up inside the cap as far as it will go and then use a couple of screws (pre drill the holes) to hold it in place.
Works great, although I don't know about soot build up as that I haven't used it enough for that to become an issue as yet.
I'm sure this would work for 4 inch diameter tubing as well.
The best explanation of stoves and accessories I have seen.
Good to see you back and over that bug you dealt with
😀
Hi Lonnie and of course Connie. Glad to see you back in action. Thank you for all the information. Stay safe. ATB. NIgel
This was great! I especially love the one you made! I've been thinking about buying one so I don't need to use my propane heater... I don't have a bunch of extra money, and really like to see this many stoves and appreciate all the extras you made! Thank you so much! I'm really glad I found this Channel!
I've found a good way to deal with creosote is to run a very hot fire in the stove once per day (usually first fire of the day). It tends to melt the creosote and it drips back down to the firebox to be burn again. The rest of your stove pipe cleaning tips with the branch, I have done as well. I've not tried the stainless steel scrubby. I also use a stove pipe thermometer to make sure I am burning the stove hot enough to not produce creosote.
This man needs to do audio books. Would love to listen to him read out books on long drives.
Man I love this channel its always informative and and step by step instructions on what your doing
This is an excellent video on these stoves. It's informative enough to call it a reference guide. Good job.
Thank you for such an indepth video Lonnie and Connie !
I think I need to confess I had some wood stove envy there.
I thought I had the largest collection around. Well made video Lonnie with lots of great wood stove knowledge from someone who has been there done that. Enjoyed this a lot. Also thanks for the shout out, I picked up some new subscribers today and couldn't figure out why......until now.
As I said in the video, some of the stove knowledge that I have came from my association with you. Glad some folks decided to sub your channel. I meant to place text over the video in the location where I mentioned you as you are sometimes difficult to look up on TH-cam due to varying ways that your channel name can be written. Alas though I forgot to do so.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Do you live up here in Alaska? I would love to take that Kimbak Wood Stove Kit clean it up and put it on a half barrel for you.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival th-cam.com/video/lcWmUluC5X4/w-d-xo.html Link for my Half Barrel Wood Stove Build
yes I'm an Alaskan. you have my interest. However I'll bet that might be expensive as there would be quite some time and labor involved. That old stove has faithfully heated several of my larger tents including homemade tents for many years. I had a 12X14 foot custom made canvas wall tent that Alaska Tent And Tarp make up for me and that was the stove I used in it. The stove was a wee bit small for that large of a tent when the temps were well below zero but I was still mighty glad I had it. I sold that tent to a another local.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I could put it in a 55 gallon or one of my custom cut down half barrels for u. I enjoy the work. I have cleaned those old kits up before. They are so hard to find these days. I keep my eye out for them all the time. UNLEeeeSs u would like to sell that Kimbak kit to me. I have one in my workshop. Love them.
God Bless you! Thank you for this very important information. Very important right now, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring.❤️🙏
By far the best presentation on tent stoves! Nice collection too
I'm from the UK ok this is the best video I've seen in a long time very interesting and I've learnt something
Cleaning glass,half vinegar half water mixture mix in a bit of ash for the stubborn bits.Very interesting video,thanks.
Yes! I like the fact Gandalf explains stoves to me :)
Love this, glad to see you posting again. Hope you all are doing well.
The Ghendalf of bushcraft is very helpful! Thank you for so many informative videos!
Hi Lonnie, thanks for sharing your experience with the stoves and the detailed explanation of it. Glad to see your both being well, take care, Taro
One year on the black powder hunt i stayed in a wall tent about 8' x 10' with a stove the size of that smaller Nomad. It was perfect!
Dude you remind me of a good friend of mine that has passed away. I subscribed. You're a gem
Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing. Welcome to the channel.
Lonnie, I love the videos that you and Connie put out. Please keep it up. I have a channel but it is only so I can make comments. I don't produce any content because it looks time consuming and I don't need the income either. But I do have a good Idea now and then that I try to share with those of you that do create good content, when it's relevant to their video. Since part of this has been about DIY stoves, I wanted to tell you about a good source for a DIY stove pipe. Campbell's Chunky soup cans make a great take down stove pipe. The cans are bigger on one end than the other and if you use a side cutting "safety" can opener on each end, you are left with one end that fits nice and snug into the end of a second can. It's very easy to press 4 cans firmly together to create a pipe section and then press a series of those pipe sections together more gently ( so they can be taken apart for storage inside the stove ) to make a pipe of the length you need for your tent. The metal is substantial but not overly heavy and the cans are of a good diameter for venting a small or medium stove. And as a side bonus, I really like eating many of the varieties of soups in the Chunky line. Try it out, if you eat that soup, or if your willing to risk a few bucks to just get the cans ( I recommend New England Clam Chowder and Sausage and Chicken Gumbo) and if you like the idea, feel free to make a video of it. I would love to see the idea shared. Thank's for the videos, the distraction in this day and age is priceless. Peace.
good idea as long as the stove pipe can be made to be sturdy and not come apart during a burn. Many of my stove pipes are 9 feet long.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Is that titanium sheet pipe really 9 feet long? I figured it was closer to 6 or 7 feet. My idea is meant more for a 6 or 7 foot chimney of the diameter generally created by those roll up pipes. What is the diameter of the rings that form that pipe.
Some of my titanium roll up stove pipes are 6 feet and some are 9 feet. I have the seek outside 8 man tipi as well as a similar height homemade pyramid style tarp tent and they requires tall stove pipes especially since these breakdown stoves are so short.
My Large seek outside titanium breakdown stove requires a different diameter pipe than the Pomoly stoves. The SO pipe rings are about 3 inches and the P stove pipes are about 2.5 inches.
Real happy to see you both again. Hope you are healthy and happy. Thanks for the class on the stoves.
I just decided yesterday to come looking for you. WOW that is a lot of stove. You get your hands on a bunch of vinegar, paper towel, and some garbage bags. Now.. you soak the paper towels with vinegar, plaster them on the rust, bag it up. You will eat every bit of rust off in no time. You can be rid of it easy as can be with just brushing it off, or bristle brush not wire because no need to scratch the metal, putting the paper towels back on, come back, repeat til gone. Well that or naval jelly, but I havent seen that since I learned the vinegar trick. They used to sell it.*shrug*
Im a fan of side shelves too and hot water heaters too! Nothing better than a nice hot water bottle for the bed too, I just use a two liter bottle and wrap with a small towel.
Good stove education!
Hope to see more of you two! Glad to.
I also use the hot water bottle for warmer nights in the sleeping bag occasionally. However I drop ours into thick natural fiber socks. I have also used vinegar to remove bad rust on cast iron cookware by just submerging them in a 50/50 diluted vinegar and water mix. never thought of soaking paper towels and sealing the item off from air circulation. Great idea.
Thanks for introducing reliable stove for camping. I look forward to winter.😀👍👍
Thanks for the video and all the great information. Take care Lonnie and Connie.👍🏕
