I use a power station for camping with a travel trailer. Very handy unit. You might consider modifying a cooler or lining a cardboard box with foam insulation for cold protection.
Good tip ! I could of left it in my warm shop & ran a 100f cord but I just needed to know how much or little I might need to do by putting in on the seat :) But ya it's letting it cool but saving the heat close to it :) I have more than one & yes they work pretty awesome ! They make off grid life pretty easy :)) Have a good afternoon"
Hello. It's a very beautiful and wonderful place. Thank you for sharing.. Happy New Year..❤
Thanks :) I love the north, You just learn how to dress for the day 😀, Get out & enjoy work or play :) Happy New Year to you as well ! Hopefully you will enjoy some of my summer travels & building :)) Take care hope you had a great weekend"
Don u r exactly right less splitting helps!! Especially when there's other chores👍
I've been looking at different power stations. But haven't figured out which one to buy yet.
Yup :) Ya you really have to know how much power each thing you want to use actually uses, Man black Friday Bluetti had some awesome deals ! Allpowers has a couple bigger than this one too, I have my Kureg coffee machine plugged to this one all the time :) but the Bluetti runs the cabin, Have a great evening"
I completely mis-read the video title and wondered why you were using a ‘2 seater Honda sports car’ to start the truck (S2000)!!😂😂 - oh man. I need more coffee!
Lmao !! Was Just a question I had asked myself & needed to know if it could run long enough to start the ole girl :) I could have left it in the warm shop & run a 100f cord but I wanted to see if power station would stay war enough or shut down because of the cold & it worked but at -40 I don't think so lol, Like you I'm a little past that racing age lol :) Have an awesome day "
Howdy Don- it’s good you have a back up system for getting the truck going just in case you needed it. Man, those brunch sandwiches looked really good. Stay safe and warm up there. We’re having a touch of winter down here in the southern. The old wood stove sure does feel good. Take care and God bless
Yes a back up plan for the back up plan, When you pray for cool weather so you don't forget how that heat feels 😃, Been cold but we have a week of -8c temps coming in so we'll get some wood cut hopefully :) I just got back from a trip out where they are logging -25c was our high today :) After 5 days of cold I had to get out ! Hope you had a great weekend" Work safe "
I had the same thing for breakfast this morning. Now, that was a cold start.
It was good :) Ya at -15 to 20 it will work but -40 that old girl needs 3 hrs of block heater, I could have ran a 100f cord & left power station in the shop but I wanted to see how cold it would get in the cab of the truck :) Colder weather, Need a bigger power station ! Have a good evening Kenny
Hey, a Saturday night special video. Thanks Don
The old diesel fired right up with that bit of warmth. She rattled to life like nothing.
Good product again. Those small, battery packs are all looking good no matter what name on it. Lots of good reviews on those ALLPOWER brand.
Just wondering whats Ginger chewing on? Looks like she has some frosty eating in front of her. LOL
Good eating and great entertainment and learning there, Don. Have a good night
Just changing it up a bit I have a lot on the go this month :) Ya it's amazing what they do ! Lol dog treats :) we butchered a pig a while back I just cut slits with the axe so she can chew without just packing it away to burry, & she love chewing on the two lamb hides we turned inside out, Have a good night"
Wow you always inspire me but I’m 🤔 to lazy… love your world 🌎 it reminds me of my childhood ☺️
Thanks :) Yes I grew up until my late teens 100% off grid Too but it's not hard like it was back then :) My life is not much different than anyone else ! I Haul firewood & lots of people do, Really I just have to pay attention to my power I have to use or start a genny, My cabin is fully functional with everything I need :) If you love wood heat & prepare ahead it's never like work just a nice ride in the woods ! Thanks for watching, Have an awesome day"
Good Saturday evening Don. Great tool to warm up the nice Ford. 👋👍🏻
Great looking snack there.
I had fried bologna, eggs, toast and beans tonite. Yummie.
Snow storm coming tomorrow. Sorta, not much snow , 5 to 15cm. But winds at 90 kilometres.
Have a great day Don. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🇨🇦🪵🪓🔥
It was good :) No I don't like the wind & wet snow together makes for a mess on the roads, Have a great evening"
👍🏻👍🏻🪵🪓🔥
Great to see the power station help get the diesel warmed up, another great video of resourcefulness and survival off the grid, especially with the cold snaps that come with winter, thanks for sharing all the good info
Thanks :) I just needed to know ! Someone else had a great suggestion even better to put warm rocks in a old cooler put a towel over the rocks & put power station on that it would really help at -40 :) Have a great evening"
Hey Don, Happy new year,Those sandwiches looked good.
That’s pretty impressive Block heaters for diesels pull a lot of power. That’s a good unit. Stay safe, my friend.
Same to you ! Ya i could of kept it in the warm shop & run a 100 foot cord but i just needed to try just putting a little protection around it, It is a good unit it makes me coffee every morning :)) work safe my friend stay warm"
@ coffee is the most important
Cheers brother 👍👌
Cheers! Glad you're enjoying the show. Just a little of my every day life :) It usually run the coffee maker but I just needed to know if it would give me enough on my truck :) Have a great evening"
We take it for granted to have power go on you living off grid 👍👍👍
Yes but things are so different now days with this new technology we have :) I could of run a 100 foot cord & kept power station in the shop but i needed to see if it would stay warm enough in on the set, I just like to know :) Have a great evening"
Great Donny got 7.3 diesel warm up 🆙 good to getting the oil around the engine and valve . 😊
Thanks :) I just thought I'd try it tucked in on the seat to keep it warm enough, I could of run a 100 foot cord then kept power station in the shop, My head asked me a question so I needed an answer lol :) Yes your right ! Treat it well hopefully it will treat me well :) Have a great evening"
Hi Griff, I never really like diesel trucks, too noisy. Those sandwiches looked mighty tasty.
Ya they are a little noisy but hauls my camper & pulls my little home made trailer like it's not even there :) Did you check out my Yukon trip a year & a half ago ? 17 days on the road had everything I needed :) Have a great evening John"
I will look for it@@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837
Another awesome video 🙌
Great test for the power station. Excellent performance.
I’ve noticed in previous videos as well as this one you typically toss out your egg shells in the garbage, have you ever thought about drying them out and reusing them in the gardens? Perfect calcium supplements 😊🙌❤️
Take care , stay warm and have an amazing weekend 😊❤🌻🌻
Thanks :) yes i use to save them & put in the garden, but I'm trying to cut back on the gardening :) This soil is very rich so just one less container full of stuff under the cupboard lol :) I already have moldy potato skins banana peels onion bits lol :) I'm glad you enjoyed.... Have a great weekend as well!
I hear you lol , 🙌 yes gardening is very time consuming , especially as we get older. Great you still compost , always adds to the soil.
All we can do , is do what we can do , right ? 👍❤️😊 Every little bit helps ❤️
Take care Don , enjoy the rest of your evening 😊❤️🌻🌻
Never get to all the chores on the list :) remember some just have to be next years lol :) I have 30 yards of cleaning from my pig barn that's been composting for four years ! Pretty hot stuff use just a little at a time :) Bedding plants love it ! take care "

You have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much ! I just share a little of my everyday life & you can see the changes over the last three years :) I appreciate the comments or any questions, I try to help others when I can with tips that worked for me ! Have a great afternoon"
I like ur size method for stove wood don’t need a tape. Nice t shirt eat hard work hard good video friend
I don't measure for anyone when I sell they get what they get :) Ya you seen my Alaska trip ? I picked up a few things :) I have a gooder on the go in the kitchen right now ! Have an awesome evening Buddy"
@ I was talking about measuring the wood with your hand so it can fit in your wood stove Yah I saw all your videos brother. Nice ones 🤠👍
Happy New Year Don another great show 👍 Johno Darwin NT Australia 🇦🇺
Happy New Year to you as well John! Down here in the north it's been super cold, but I'm itching for the warmer weather so I can get back to some more wood hauling, Another 3 days then we should be back at -8c :)) we just had a couple nights at -35c Thanks for watching & the comments"
Impressive that it lasted as long as it did with the block heater !!
Thanks :) Yes I just had to know ! One hr is not enough at -40 but if I leave it in warm shop & run a 100f cord it would stay warmer maybe last longer, Use one then back it up with my other power station that's a little bigger one just knows that it will work !! Have a great day"
Have same issue w/solar generator use outdoors in winter. I use an old cooler, cut out hole on the side, just big enough to run my ext cord through. I then heat up some rocks on top of wood stove. Put solar gen and rocks in cooler. I just use a towel so the rocks dont touch the plastic cooler & solar gen. Stays nice and warm when using. Great vid, enjoyed it!
Hey that's why we do this so we can share good ideas but yours is brilliant ! I was just going to put a cardboard box over it to utilize the heat it made, Warm rocks :)) Glad you enjoyed I appreciate the comment"
I have a few great sponsors :) Awesome products I wish I had 11 years ago when I started building here, Hope you get a chance to go back & see what I had to work with three years ago when I started my channel :) Not all work I have road trips, Fishing, Milling , Building always lots going on ! Have an awesome evening"

Just a little of my day to day, have a great evening! I've been watching you a long time trapping, gathering, hunting, love the ways of our ancestors & nice to keep traditions alive & teach to the next generation :)
Hi Don! Those power stations sure are handy to have. Nice n quiet too. Way better than listening to a generator running. Your sandwiches looked so delicious. I’d have to put miracle whip on them and a healthy amount of butter in the frying pan. lol. Did I mention I have high cholesterol? lol. Might be partly why I’m suffering from kidney stones now too. Life can be so much fun.
They are awesome :) You must have made my sandwich it had miracle whip on one side & butter on the other lol ! Doc says i should cut back a little :) Maybe he watches my channel ! We only have one life & I'm just loving the way i can live it :)) Have a great evening"
Need some good food to work out in the weather your dealing with !!
Nice power getting the job done !
High cholesterol is a good sign for longevity. Kidney stones are from "healthy foods ", like spinach, almonds, avocados, black pepper, beets, pretty mach all vegetables and synthetic vitamin C.
Check out Sally Norton.
I was checked for stones a couple years ago Doc was pretty happy he just said keep doing what your doing ! Lots of wild meat & lots of good bacon keeps everything sliding through lol :)
Very nice!
Thanks :) I just needed to know now I do ! Have a great weekend"
❤❤привет из России 🇷🇺😊😊
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed :) Not all work hope you get time to check out summer fun videos :)
Don, sure can put some nice pieces of wood in that stove. What brand is it ?
It was built I thing early 60's by Energy King, I modified the door cause it use to open like a kitchen oven, It use to have a crown it the middle of the door, The sides are double wall so air can come out the little diamond holes beside the door, I just fill it every 12hrs :) It works awesome :) Have a great evening"
I alway wondered what wattage a block heater took... I have an 06 f350 diesel and was in Nisku Ab & Hinton Ab last week, had to plug in at the hotels but she started every morning plunged in at minus -26 was the lowest night. I don't know why ford discontinued the 7.3L Diesel it was the best engine they ever made in my opinion!
Ya some of the block heaters take 1150w too, But when you plug in a power station it shows you :) Yes 98-03 they had them perfect then they screwed them up, The newer models do start better in the cold the old 7.3 likes that 0-40 oil then not bad :) Thanks for the comment
Don,
Do you use a fuel additive for your truck in winter.
I love my 7.3 23 yrs old and still purring along
Ya I put a little in about every three tanks of fuel because I was parking in a somewhat warm shop that will cause condensation in the tank, But this year I run it low on fuel then waited until we had winter fuel at the pumps then just put conditioner in it & run the truck around a bit so it got through the system :) Hoping I won't need to run it this winter now I keep the car in the shop :) Thanks for watching"
Kute grandkids
Thanks :) The little one always comes running to Papa with her arm up but she seen my hat & just spun around she wanted no part of that lol ! I took it off & put it on the floor then she just gave me a big smile :)
