@@jackjones9460When welding came around the term was used to make sure you weren’t setting something on fire in the surrounding compartments onboard ships when doing hot work.
@@John...44... do you mind if I ask why? It seems like the people who would come after you might appreciate that tremendously, but I could also see how it might be seen as littering.
All depends on the wood. If you have hardwood for firewood you can load’r up and choke down the damper and it will last most of the night and supply plenty of heat.
@@Mothball_manin a tent with a stove that size no it won’t, if you choke it down it won’t put off a meaningful amount of heat. As someone who actually tent camps in the mountains, the only way to stay warm is to get up and keep it going strong.
1) You WAY overpaid for that. 2) Don’t buy one the size of a soup thermos. Even one a tad bigger will hold far more wood. 3) If you didn't, decrease the chimney vent so it smokes a little more inside the stove, burning the wood slower by decreasing available oxygen. 4) Use hardwood if you didn't.
@@anthonydesouza9983 I bought a canvas tent about 2 years ago for around $1300 CAD (found a deal that avoided shipping/importing costs from the USA). Same tent now goes for around $1600 before taxes. Quality isn't cheap. There's some really nice tents for like $2500 range but that's about the point where it may just be cheaper to try to save up for a truck and camper. I also bought a decent wood stove at around the same time, imported it from Russia. That cost me around $400. Saw a wood stove that looked just like it on Amazon for cheaper... except it was stamped steel, not welded. Again, quality makes the difference.
@@vovin8132 Welded doesn't make it better. It is about the thickness... the fact you think that welds = better is a big red flag that you don't know what you are talking about and are easy to take advantage of.
@@thomgizziz Well I have extensively used it for years. I guess you like choking on smoke inside your tent because the seems are not welded closed. Thanks for your lecture on how I don't know what I'M talking about.
@@lindboknifeandtool OK, some winter training 4u. Get a proper sleeping bag and insulating sheet, if possible a raised canvas bed. Cook dinner and 2-3L of hot water while you eat. Enough calories and hot food help your body stay warm. Fill the water in nalgene/steel bottles or even small thermos, wrap those in a sock. Put them into your sleeping bag, next to your feet and between your legs. This will release heat over time, keep the water from freezing too, so you can use it to cook breakfast while still in your PROPER sleeping bag.
"made in China" stuff plagues Amazon and such storefronts easily. And they are intentionally marked up knowing people are willing to pay for it. At some point it's more cheaper to 'build' your own tent.
@@OsirusHandle also even real reviews are shit. So many 5 stars are 5 stars for what they were expecting not 5 stars for the product. A 5 star $50 tent and a 5 star $500 tent aren't anywhere near the same
Here’s a trick the old timers used to do to have a hot stove all night: Once you have a good set of coals rake them into something like an old pot, pile wood into your stove, add the coals, get the wood to start burning before shutting the door and restricting the oxygen Coals will burn hot all night especially with fresh wood to keep them going
@@Austin_SaintOngecheck out @outdoorboys he takes the stove has pre piles made and ready and then as said above he puts stones on top the stove and heats em. He also doesnt sleep on the ground. He puts the hot stones or (hot embers ) under his bed/platform. He also boils water puts em in water containers and sleeps with em inside his tent. You really made a whole video of no sense.
@@jibbsmcdoink3009 I love outdoor boys! I saw all those tips he showed and they’re all great, I just should have just bought a larger stove and a - degree sleeping bag
@@Austin_SaintOnge wait till the glamping glass breaks in the night.... either you'll suffocate from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide...or it WIL KEEP YOU WARM as the tent burns down
@@Austin_SaintOngeTry using ash logs or beech if you can. Sometimes it's not the stove but what you're burning. That being said I live in England so negative 20 isn't really something we get, that'd be very extreme here. You're probably already using the best wood you can get. Your stove looks pretty nice but maybe buy a bigger one if you get another. My only other suggestion would be to upgrade your clothing/sleeping setup, use what the natives use fur and moccasins etc
[EDITed as my original reply was thought too harsh by some] If you wake up freezing you have the wrong sleeping system. The idea is not keeping the tent warm the whole night , but to give you 2 or 3 hrs in the evening when you prepare your meal, dry your clothes etc.. This makes a hell of a difference.
@@Austin_SaintOnge I didn't mean it in a mean way, and I did not know you are a novice. I just stumbled in and this was your first video I saw 🙂 But videos like this are good for other novices who maybe have also wrong ideas/expectations. When it gets really cold whatever you have under your sleeping bag gets more and more important as a lot of warmth dissipates through your mat into the ground. People freeze with giant sleeping bags when they do not invest enough effort into that part of insulation. Where I live it gets down to -40 °C / -40F once in a while. So I know the whole temperature range below freezing point ;-)
@@Austin_SaintOngeIf you sleep on a cot, you don't insulate the floor. Your body weight compresses all the insulation loft under you, so you need a pad on top of the cot. Even with a winter bag, you'll sleep cold without one.
Being in a region with extreme cold there are some tricks: 1) Don't try to make it household Temps. The tent doesn't have the insulation to do so. 40F is more than warm enough. 2) let the tent cool down about an hour before you bed down. Wear as little as possible inside a cold weather sleeping g bag. A multilayer arctic bag is best. 3) when stocking the stove for the night, use as dense a wood as possible (you can get pressurized sawdust bricks for this) and choke the fire down to near extinguishing. It will still generate a little heat all night long as it smolders. It won't keep things above freezing, but it should keep it above 0F. 4) If you properly stocked your stove the night before, opening the vents in the morning will give you a quick burst of heat in the morning. You won't be cold for long.
I was thinking about my grandfather's badge which says, "survived the night below 60⁰". There is definitely a way to do it. They had larger tents with one stove for multiple men, out in Alaska.
Grew up with a would burning stove in the house . I slept on the couch in the living room to keep the fire going during winter, also to sirs watch . The house almost caught fire several times. In more than 20 years . If I hadn't been there it would have burned down quickly
@@iivin423360 degrees? Or do you mean -60? That can’t be a badge 60 degrees at night is like room temperature. I’ve slept outside with nothing but clothes in those temps. And i’m a pussy compared to servicemen and most grandpas. Certainly my grandpas when they were alive. -60 is extreme tho. I live near a massive army base where one of the mountain divisions reside. It’s the snowiest place in the lower 48 below like 8k feet or something like that. They get a lot of snow. And pretty cold. It CAN technically get like -40 below i think tho it hasn’t in my lifetime. It’s come close. They camp outside in winter. There is nowhere on Earth our boys can’t go and survive for a few days or a few weeks with a modest amount of supplies. I imagine it’s easier to survive in -10 F in a blizzard (with gear) than in death valley when it’s 125 every day. Idk i’ve never really been to the desert. I went to Dallas once in June and it was hot.
Isn’t fire watch also to have a sober, conscious set of eyes at all times? Yeah to stoke the fires, but also to keep watch. Enemies, friends, wildlife. To keep aware of your surroundings so that your mates can sleep without needing to keep one eye open. I’m gonna sleep much more peacefully in a combat zone if i know one (or ideally two) of my platoon mates is wide awake watching over us. I should note that i’ve never been in military. I didn’t make it past Bear Scout. I’ve camped a lot, all in very safe locations with ample supplies usually piss drunk (not always). I’ve read a lot, and I’m smarter than your avg bear. But i have little actual experience or direct knowledge. I’m sure i could get a fire going in decent weather with some branches and a boot lace. But it would take me many hours.
@@trefaa I've Googled tent stoves, and aside from the cheap Chinesium ones, the vast majority come in at the £250 - 350 ($300 - 400) price range. All made from Stainless steel with several having cast iron parts. The best looking one, (with fantastic Trustpilot reviews) was the Outbacker Firebox, which was well within the aforementioned price range. Titanium will be lighter (though who's backpacking with a stove?) and it will take on a beautiful colouration, but I'd go with the $300 Stainless steel one.
@@Austin_SaintOngewait till the glass breaks and your life depends on the heat, or worse: whether the fire pops out and burns the tent down while you sleep or carbon monoxide
Question, and let me start off by saying I know nothing about this, but could you use something like coal instead? Doesn't it burn longer / hotter so you could restrict air a little more or something and get the same heat output.
Hot-tenting with a wood-burning stove was never meant for you to keep the wood-burning stove going while you sleep. It gives you a place that you can boil water or cook food inside if weather is really bad outside and gives you a way and a place to be able to warm up out of the weather. Take adequate gear with you so that you can cold- sleep. You’re not meant to try to keep that little stove going all night. That was never its intended purpose. Your sleep system and base layers should be what provides 100% of your warmth so that you can sleep.
Brother, having a woodstove in the tent is great for a lot of things, especially when you’re awake. But if you’re out in -20, you need sleeping gear rated for -20 at the very least. Then you’ll sleep fine all night. Kudos to you for being willing to do your learning while everybody in the world watches. That’s a definite level of humility and genuine love of learning there. Not everybody would be down with having others watch them learn from mistakes.
Thank you for the kind words and I agree 100%! The cot helped keep me off the floor, dry and warm but I needed a - degree sleeping bag. And imthe stove worked great in the daytime!
@@Austin_SaintOnge : Idk if this will help you at all, brother, but since you’re just getting used to things and learning, maybe a few tips from somebody who spent a lot of time sleeping outside and -20 and lower, might be useful. Just to shorten the learning curve. so you’ve already got a cot, and I think that’s probably gonna be your first best thing you could’ve ever done for yourself. Then the next thing, is to get yourself a sleeping pad that is rated for sufficiently cold weather. No joke. One rated for a lower temperature, will not cut it, and you’ll most likely be utterly miserable all night long, no matter what the rating on your sleeping bag is. So if you’re operating with pretty much no budget, there’s a way around that colon go to the dollar store and pick yourself up a couple of those dense foam yoga mats. Maybe see if you can scrounge a couple of metres of Tyvek, and throw it in the wash, but not the dryer. Tyvek is very crinkly when it’s brand new, but once it goes through the wash a couple times and then gets hung to dry, it gets soft and much quieter without compromising any of the thermal qualities. so that might be an easy work around there, especially if any of your friends do a bit of construction. If not, you can sometimes order a couple of metres of the right width online for a modest price. Some people even put a zipper or some Velcro on there, and make a bivvy bag out of it. Of course you could use any other foam or whatever, but that’s probably your cheapest best bet. You can also use one of those reflective bubble sheets things underneath your yoga mat or sleeping pad to reflect more heat back to you. These ideas are in expensive, and good price to be OK for you, Plus, they don’t add much to the burden of weight that goes on your back in your backpack when you’re hiking into your campsite. In terms of your sleeping bag, if you have one, that’s not rated for cold weather, you may pick up an arctic one at the army surplus store. That could be hard right now while there’s conflict on, but you could always check. alternatively, you can go to a secondhand shop, and see if you can find one that’s rated to the coldest rating you can find, and pick it up inexpensively. then put one of your sleeping bags inside of the other. it’ll be much warmer, although it’ll probably be heavier if you’re trekking. There’s not much you can do about that until you can afford one sleeping bag that’s fairly compact and rated to at least what you need. The other thing that I would suggest, is finding one of those heavy wool blankets, almost like an army blanket. You might even get one at surplus. The nice thing about those, is that they breathe nicely, and that even if the atmosphere is humid, wool always stays warm. You can get one that you can put across your cot and then put your bedding in it, and then fold it over the top of your sleeping bag like a taco, for extra warmth and coziness. The other thing, is that if you’re wearing mukluks Or any winter boot with liners, when you get in the bed at the end of the night, you can consider putting your liners at the foot of your sleeping bag, and if you’re too tall, for that, put them along side of your feet in the sleeping bag. That way, the warmth from your body, while you sleep will drive some of the moisture out of the liners, so that you’re not walking around in wet boots that’ll keep your feet cold the next day.(An old army trick that served us really well.) and if you’re one of those people that tends to run cold, consider taking a hot water bottle with you, even a small one. Some people like to take a Nalgene bottle, but I personally like an old-fashioned, small hot water bottle. When you have your bedtime snack, just put a little extra water in the kettle, and get it hot, but not boiling. it needs to be about a third full, and then you just squeeze out any excess water before you put the stopper on. Put it in your bag, at the bottom where your feet are going to go. by the time you’ve got your teeth, brushed and gotten A lot of your street clothes, move the hot water bottle up to where your that will be, and it fits really nicely right in the small of a persons back. There’s a little bit of an art to getting just the right amount of water into it, but once you’ve got it, you never forget it. and as I mentioned, the other thing is not to sleep in your outdoor clothes. Because it’ll keep the sleeping bag from functioning like it’s designed to, and you’ll end up cold. It’s better to sleep in your longjohns. and that won’t even be too miserable If you have had the stove going in your tent before this, so it’s fairly warm when you get ready for bed. personally, as long as my clothes are dry, I’d like to stick them down in the foot of my sleeping bag as well, but then, again, I’m not very tall and there’s lots of room down there. That way, when I get up in the morning, even when the tent is cold, I’ve got warm clothes to haul on right away. The other tip for somebody who might run cold, is to bring a balaclava. That way your face is not cold, and you won’t be tempted to stick your face in the bag. Because when your face goes in the bag, condensation warms you up for a moment, but in the middle of the night, it sure takes a toll and you wake up frozen. That’s just nasty. Canadian military sleeping bags have something that’s absolutely wonderful: a hood. If your’s doesn’t have that, And you decide that you want one, they’re not hard to make. basically, all you do is go to the thrift store and find a coat that’s nice and warm, with a good hood on it that fits beautifully, preferably with a little bit of foxtail hair for around the hood, because that actually shield you from flying snow, which could be good if you’re out in a hammock some nights. A parka hood would be ideal. so you put on the coat and do it up, hood and all. have a friend help mark the coat across the chest, right under the arms, and probably across the sleeves, too, if you plan to cut those off. you can choose to have sleeves on this, or not. The military ones have no sleeves. then, you’ll probably want to remove the zipper from the coat, by cutting the thread that holds it in place. if the cult you choose to work with, has a down, feeling, make sure that you stitch above, and below, where you’re going to cut, because once you cut, feathers will go absolutely everywhere. But it’s easy to prevent, And besides that, you can do your cutting outside on the doorstep, if feathers going everywhere is a possibility. The wind can deal with it for you. At this point, it’s time to decide whether you would like to have a zipper in the front when it’s done, or if you just want to have a couple of bits of Velcro. Personally, I like Velcro, because When a person turns over on Velcro it is soft, An unlikely to wake the sleeper up. put a few pins were you took the zipper out, to keep things together so they don’t get too chaotic. If you’re putting the zipper back in, this is a good time to put it in place, but it’ll be way too long. That’s OK. Just start with the bottom of the zipper, and when you get to the top, cut it off a couple of inches too long, and then take a pair of pliers and pull the extra teeth out of the way, fold it over, and sew it down. But if you’re not doing that, just a basic seam of the front, will keep it together. Both sides. then you basically take a sewing machine, or find a friend who’s familiar with one, and just run a seam all the way around, from zipper to zipper, on the line that you drew. then cut just below that line, including sleeves, if you don’t want sleeves. So you essentially it up with a hood attached to shoulders, and a little yoke. put your hood set up back on again, and Assuming you decided against sleeves, have your friend mark the place where your armpits will be, On both the front and the back. You’ll put a piece of elastic there, and just zigzag stitch that down. It only takes a moment. do you want the elastic to be at least maybe a centimetre or half an inch wide, so it’s not digging into your flesh, and you want it fairly loose. It’s just a hold the hood in place, but let you comfortably turn over in the bag without losing your hood. If you decide that you’d like to have Velcro closure, put a couple of pieces, maybe 3 inches long on your yolk at the top, and just under the chin, so you can Velcro, your sleeping bag, hood closed, comfortably. Sew that down with a straight stitch on your sewing machine. That’s a great way to fall asleep comfortably, it’ll keep you from putting your head in the bag at night, and you’ll be warm all night long, and if you roll over on the hot water bottle, it won’t wake you up like a Nalgene bottle will. I hope I didn’t overwhelm you with so many ideas, but if I did, ignore most of it, and just pick your favourite tip, If indeed, any of them appeal to you at all, and run with it. When you see how that one works for you, maybe pick the next one and try it. There should be no need for suffering while you’re camping in the winter, my friend. Especially if you own a cot. I hope to see lots more videos from you, as you get things going the way you want.
@@daphneraven6745 very well written intelligent comment good sir. Good information in there. I have used many of the suggestions you mentioned winter camping in both Northern Michigan, and Fairbanks Alaska.
The same rule applies for any fire: when you thinking you've processed enough for the night, process more! It takes five seconds to put wood in fire. That's IF you have it processed already...
I had enough for two nights worth, it’s just this little tin can isn’t big enough 😂 had to reload it every 30-45 minutes. It’s also because it leaks slightly where the glass meets the stainless so it’s hard to control the airflow
@@Austin_SaintOngethat right there has a lot to do with it. The airflow is everything. I used to have this same stove an would take my 7 yr old son winter camping all the time. I'd set an alarm for every 2 hrs an take less than 2 mins to fill it up we never once got cold. Every 30 to 40 mins is crazy lol
Also really depends on what wood he’s burning cause I could fill that thing corner to corner with oak and it would last long enough to roll over and drop a handful more in.
It's to bad most people don't really know how to camp in a tent if you really want to stay out in the freezing temperatures. The proper way to camp like that is to build or own a military pole tent. They can use a wood stove that will burn all night. They are large enough for a big family with areas for sleeping, cooking, and gaming areas. You might look into one. My family spent many years during deer season staying sometimes as long as 4 weeks.
Unless you are in truly arctic conditions then you shouldn't need to keep the fire going all night. Cold is fine for sleep given the right sleeping bag.
I use an army surplus oil burning stove in my bell tent because of this exact issue. The stove is called an SHS (Space heater Small) and it was made by two different companies, Hunter and ITR. Mine's an ITR but I don't think there's much of a difference. I modified it to accept a 5 gallon steel Jerry can that I strap to a tripod (gravity feed) and I can run the stove for 28-36 hours straight. Problem is that these stoves are pretty hard to find and recently they've gotten extremely expensive. Because of that I completely bathe my stove in oil for storage. I paid $400 but now I see them for like $900. That's not including the external fuel tank modification which can easily be another $200+ plus the Jerry can breather tube/fuel cap-thing and tripod are also hard to find. But yeah I got lucky because I have the most reliable hot tent set up on earth with this thing haha. The stove makes this ethereal, gentle, deep, "whooshing" sound, like wind in slow motion or something. And it has a 1 inch glass view port that's a perfect night light. I really should make a video about this thing because it's such a unique and robust tent heating system
I built an off grid 12x12 cabin out of pallet wood and salvaged lumber and I use a a portable wood stove in that. It’s well insulated and that little stove cranks in there. When I do sleep out there I wake up around 2-3 times to feed it but that’s part of using wood for heat.
Pro tip you do what's is known as a hot load. You get a cooking thermometer load that bad boy up with wood chips/ small pieces all over the bottom and then split a hard wood such a sap wood and split pieces about as wide as a finger but almost as long as the stove. Load that bad boy up and see what the top temp is and how long it stays at top temp. That's how long you can sleep comfortably.
Man I just learned more about keeping warm out in the elements by reading the comments here. Than I have in all my 52 years on this rock. Kudos to you for having the guts to come on here asking for help. ✌️
lol I’ve learned quite a bit too, that’s the nice thing about TH-cam! Never claimed to be a master outdoorsman but I’m glad that people have offered so much helpful recommendations
Was gonna say not all tent stoves are equal some are great for certain things while being not so good for others. Just need to get the type that best suits your needs
@@Austin_SaintOngeI do t have to worry about snow here in Australia, but I know for sure if you have a stretcher or non insulated air mattress, they’re good for comfort but difficult to stay warm because they have air passing underneath. So you either layer it, with an insulating blanket below your sleeping bag (+ insulators retain whatever heat is there, go to bed cold, wake up cold, go to bed warm, you’ll likely stay warm in a decent sleeping bag) another handy one is a ground mat that is reflective pointing up to refelect heat back in your tent. Another good tip is take off a layer of clothing before bed (keep them in your bag or someplace they’ll remain warm so you have a warm layer to add on when you wake up).
Turn the air intake way down and have a slow fire through the night. That all depends on the stove though of course and would have been the first thing you tried, but just incase haha
If you pack the firebox very full, even with small pieces, and restrict the air-flow, you can keep it going for quite a while. No, you can't keep a roaring fire in there for hours on end. You have to balance heat output to keep the tent comfortable for sleeping - UNDER BLANKETS or IN A SLEEPING BAG, not at a toasty 25 C.
That’s fair. Some people have mentioned using charcoal as well. I think I should have sprung for a larger stove. Also yeah I need a - degree sleeping bag
@@Austin_SaintOngeI think charcoal may last longer but would probably be to hot for this system I think if ya have to much it would burn out the stove
@@Swissmister93 Wood, coal, charcoal, diesel, and propane are all burned in houses and camp tents. You use a stove with a chimney. You don't just build a fire on the ground in a tent. Notice the guy doing it knew exactly what I was talking about. Sleep in tents for twenty years, and you'll figure out lots of things.
@sirsmokealot96 also forgot to mention this entire setup lives in the back of my Land Cruiser. Not a backpacker just wanted to try out hot tent camping since I’ve seen it all over TH-cam. But yeah, firewood is obviously much more abundant in the woods 😃
If you're in conditions that cold you have to insulate you tent to make a difference. It will resemble a dwelling at that point, but that's the idea. Use what's available. Pine boughs work well. Stick bundles also work. Doesn't have to be sealed perfect, just enough to hold that slightly warmer air near the surface of the tent. Then the walls and ceiling won't be too cold. Works very well when there is little to no wind. Good luck and stay safe!
You’re right I definitely didn’t do a good job of sealing the tent. It’s hard to get the zippers to seal up propers if you don’t have your pegs lined up perfect. Thanks!
@@Austin_SaintOngebuy once cry once. Nemo sells really good gear. An insulated tensor pad and one of their -10 sleeping bags would probably suit you quite well. Gonna cost ya 800$..ish. but solid gear nonetheless.
@@Austin_SaintOngeA good sleepingbag works for many years of youtube use and some have a comfort temp of -40F. That should do for most of your tent days.
Stove for day, buddy heater at night, sounds like a decent plan, I lived in my van for a while, the buddy heater kept me warm enough that I could be butt naked in winter in Montana. 😅👍
I have 2 size buddy heaters for camping, and have loved them. Tent, small cabin, or overland vehicle camping works out great, when paired with a proper rated sleeping bag
You can buy a larger stove which has some cons but I use mine for overland camping so I don’t hike too far. I’ve been hot tent camping for over a decade now and you can definitely maintain the fire for long periods of time with a quality stove.
I have this same exact tent an stove an never once have I had to wake up an stoke the fire. The type of wood your burning plays a huge part in it. I use nothing but white an red oak at night time an its never let me down.
If you let the ash build up and don't clean out the ash pan you can keep a bed of coals for hours, trust me I know. So it's up to preferences in whether you want a quick hot fire or a everlasting bed of coals. So to be honest they work awesome if you know how to use them.
Any decent "four season" tent will work. And the rain-fly isn't just for rain... It gives you a second wall creating an insulated gap. I'm old fashioned and think a stove in your tent is just asking for something really bad to happen. Exceptions for some serious mountaineering and some big base-camps... But in general, just no.
I had a pop nice 8 man pop up shanty, I loved it, id get up before the sun and be on the ice right before sunrise. I had a Coleman propane lantern I used for light an heat and at 0°F I could take off my snowsuit an sit an fish comfortably with a sweater an jeans, Ih had a thin coating of some kinda insulating rubber on the inside. It was Eskimo brand and the color red. Eventually I got tired of dragging all that stuff around by myself cause no one wants to go ice fishing cause they think they would be cold the entire time, so after a few years ice fishing I gave it up, plus I live in Ohio and their are entire winters where we wouldn't get enough ice to fish.
When your stove dies out it just turns from a hot tent to a tent We shouldnt rely on the stove for over night warmth ideally you want the heating off when you sleep and let your sleeping bag do the work, the stove is ideal for being sociable and sitting around in the evenings
@@Austin_SaintOnge we live and learn! I'm sure people will dis agree with that but I don't like the thought of a fire or gas heater running while we are sleeping!
@georgedawson235 for sure, the exhaust did clog up a few times forcing smoke past the glass seals and made the tent super smoky. I think a simple buddy heater is a good cheap solution, but also will come with its issues
There are heated battery-powered vests on the market that you can sleep in to boost heat when camping. That in conjunction with a stove may work out all night. Think in terms of a target: stove, sleep system for insulation, and battery-powered vest for heat. The vest plus a good sleep system should last through the night.
I’ve slept for weeks in 10 degree down to -6 in Kentucky, good sleep system you won’t need to stoke it, get a insulation liner if you’re going to be sleeping in temps below zero. These stoves are made for quick and easy setup to serve as short term heating options. In a pinch they can be used for longer term if needed.
Here’s another huge problem; people not realizing that there are hard woods and there are soft woods. A forearm sized piece of seasoned red oak will burn for 5-6 hours if you have a bed of coal and your damper is set correctly.
The hot stove is not the issue, the issue is that you're using a cot, Are you even using a -20° sleepingbag? That tent doesnt look to keep your warm throughout the night. But you could just have sissy skin 😂
Lived in a drafty 6'x14' cabin in Alaska for a year. It would cool off rapidly, but the key is having a good sleaping bag so you dont wake up cold. And having used motor oil to get the fire going again fast in the morning. Just a little bit on the charcoal. Works every time.
@@Austin_SaintOnge soak some egg cartons or newspaper in vegetable oil. Excellent fire starter. Also, wide cap water bottles like nalgene in a sock and a fleece liner for the bag are excellent. You can dry the liner outside or in the evening, hanging from the ceiling of the tent
You could try to mod the tent with something like Mylar that will hold the heat inside the tent longer. Duct tape some space blankets together to make a tarp you can put over the tent. Or use some of those cheap tarps that are green on one side, Mylar on the other, and cover the tent with them.
Sounds like condensation city in winter. Lol I would not do that. Part of the appeal of canvas is that it breathes. Imagine how humid it'd be wrapped in mylar. Lol
@@zakkw788 Yeah. I was just brainstorming ideas. Actually, I don’t think it would get too humid inside. There’s still a wood stove in there. I was thinking of the Mylar only on top of the tent like a cap to hold in the heat. Leave the sides of the tent as is, for ventilation.
@@Austin_SaintOnge turn the draft down so it’s not burning wide open, and bring a weather rated sleeping bag. Doing this burns the wood slower and makes it last longer. I’ve slept under tarp shelters with a long fire on a ground pad with nothing but a blanket. It takes work, waking up only once every couple hours to add wood and stoke the fire. Couple weeks ago I slept outside without a tarp mid winter and had a fire going all night without an issue.. it’s a preparation and skill issue you’re complaining about
We used hot stoves in the army in alaska. Some key differences: we used large 13 man tents, so we rotated 1 hour fire guard shifts to watch the stove all night, and we fueled the stoves with diesel so they ran days with out refill. The people talking about this idea don’t seem to comment with much authority, howerve having used similar system for years, I think this videographer nailed the downsides precisely, oh and the weight.
I grew up winter camping, and that's just the way she goes. The stove used here is a little small compared to what often gets used, but yeah, historically you just dealt with it and got up several times a night. Some folks who spent lots of time in these things have claimed to be able to re-stoke the fire in their sleep. Better than sleeping outside, at least!
Got a basically 18" cubed stove in my van, 8 hours of heat easy when she's crammed. The husky would rather I let it go out haha I crack the door for him
I know while in the army our “hot tent” (I was stationed at Fort wainwright in Fairbanks Alaska) had a JP8 diesel fuel heater. The carburetor leaked fuel constantly and when I woke up during my fire guard shift I had everyone evacuate the tent because there was a pile of diesel on the ground surrounding our stove! lol it’s crazy. We went from arctic survival to being deployed to Afghanistan… made no sense but I would not trade it for anything
Just want to add that most people that have lived in tents wintertime have not had a fire going at night unless someone stayed up and guarded the fire. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and burning bedding is no fun either. But if you have a stone hearth the stnes store heat.
Try a dual chambered rocket stove, button it up to barely consume the firewood sticks, it’ll auto, gravity feed , just make sure you have fresh air feeding it
Have you tried throttling the intake to get it to burn slower? Probably still not enough to get a stove that small through the night but just a thought.
I bought a made in Russia sauna tent, it's insulated. The oven is bigger and it's hot . Had it up in the front yard to test. Got it FB mkt place $200. He said it cost him $1,200 with delivery.
As inconvenient as a small stove is, I'd rather wake up cold and then stoke a fire to warm up and eat a warm meal which will then allow me to collect more fuel and food. If you're living out doors in a tent you have to expect discomfort and inconvenience. The idea is to stay alive.
Yeah you're using it wrong. The idea behind the stove in the tent isn't to use it while you are sleeping. That's what the sleeping bag and sleeping system is for. If you are too cold, you're using the wrong bag. Use a proper sleeping bag and you'll be comfortable all night. You'll be really cold when you first climb out of that bag to get the stove going, but the idea there is to be comfortable as you're milling about getting ready to go outside. When I was growing up I stayed with my aunt and uncle for a while that had a house with a wood stove and even a residential wood. Stove won't stay lit all night. You need to stoke it at least once through the night. That's just how they work.
at least you can stoke it while you are inside. a real campfire you would also have to stoke and thats outside in the cold so this is way better than freezing your nuts off. or you just prep your wood by soaking it in resin so it will last way longer and put those in right before bed. or look at putting an insulating layer over your tent like those tin foil things. should also help keep the heat in
My guess on ubisoft's reaction to this is the following: A. They do nothing B. They backpedal and revive the game to try and kill momentum on the movement so they can do this to other games in the future C. They offer refunds to try and placate people What the heck why did this end up on this video? I was talking on the Ross Scott video
OR your expectations are unrealistic... Get a bigger one and then maybe the stove and your expectations will align a little better? Even then there's a limit to how big it can because you have to carry it and it has to fit in the tent. Also there's a limit how long wood (or any fuel) will burn which all combined results in having to wake up regularly to tend the fire. Try making a fire that burns for say 8 hours, then you know what size a stove would have to be to contain that fire. Now imagine having to carry that... It all comes back to your expectations being realistic.
A 'Pomoly T1 Mini 3' inside a size 2 or 3 Polish Lavvu with the Spanish Bushcraft mod will keep you warm in the shittiest weather. I had this exact setup in Muddus National Park in far north Sweden during the winter and I barely had to tend to it throughout the night...
$600? Hmm. I cant imagine what getting an hour of sleep, solid, would be like when out there. Seems nice, as a thought, but realistically whi sleeps all night when out? Maybe people do, but they're weird. Keeping that going shouldn't be too much of a ball ache at all. M
I heated my RV for a winter in the mntc of Colorado with a $100 Amazon stove. About 4 hours between refills. Saved many $ in propane, and was toasty warm.
I can make a weber smokey mountain burn for 12+ hrs without having to top up the charcoal. It also costs way way less than $600. You got ripped off. That stove is a piece of junk.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but +5C isn’t freezing cold weather… at least not for us Canadians. 😂 Top it of +90F is warmer then my tin can of a trailer, I keep it at 68F over winter.
Ain't really 'bout makin' heat, rather keeping in what heat you have. It's the reason mummy bags and down liners for sleeping Bags were invented. You gotta preserve what your Body produces when you're awake to avoid risk of hypothermia, and more importantly, the waste of calories your body uses to produce that heat. Hypothermia is a killer for lost folk up North, and if you don't have a heat carry bag up in Northern Canada, you're as good as dead if you get lost anywhere (Canada is a very big Country with very few people, so you'd be lucky to find anyone).
$600 my god you can hire me ill keep the fire going all night for $600 that's insane somebody is having a good laugh you paid WAY WAY to much i live in England and iv just looked them up now for prices and i see so many different ones for around a hundred pounds but 600 id expect it to cook for me too 😂😂😂❤❤
There are current models, slightly larger. That work. Also I always bring coal lumps ,carefully chosen in size , for nighttime. Total game changer two per 6 hours.

Best rule for collecting firewood I've heard is: once you have a pile that you think is big enough, make it four times bigger.
Yeah I heard 5x, but in general it's absolutely true. Haha
Thats good if youre inexperienced. No chance id be collecting too much firewood and leaving most of it the next day
@@John...44... do you mind if I ask why? It seems like the people who would come after you might appreciate that tremendously, but I could also see how it might be seen as littering.

Waking up freezing in the morning is better than having been frozen in the night.
Trie
Welcome to the 19'th century, and before that, people regularly got up at night to tend the fireplace.
Or had enough blankets and slept through the nights in shared beds
Exactly like people still live like this.
All depends on the wood. If you have hardwood for firewood you can load’r up and choke down the damper and it will last most of the night and supply plenty of heat.
People still do it when wood is what heats the house
@@Mothball_manin a tent with a stove that size no it won’t, if you choke it down it won’t put off a meaningful amount of heat. As someone who actually tent camps in the mountains, the only way to stay warm is to get up and keep it going strong.
1) You WAY overpaid for that. 2) Don’t buy one the size of a soup thermos. Even one a tad bigger will hold far more wood. 3) If you didn't, decrease the chimney vent so it smokes a little more inside the stove, burning the wood slower by decreasing available oxygen. 4) Use hardwood if you didn't.
And at least 1/8 inch material. Paper thin metal retains no heat.
How much would you expect to pay for a stove AND tent? $600 seems reasonable
@@anthonydesouza9983 I bought a canvas tent about 2 years ago for around $1300 CAD (found a deal that avoided shipping/importing costs from the USA). Same tent now goes for around $1600 before taxes. Quality isn't cheap. There's some really nice tents for like $2500 range but that's about the point where it may just be cheaper to try to save up for a truck and camper.
I also bought a decent wood stove at around the same time, imported it from Russia. That cost me around $400. Saw a wood stove that looked just like it on Amazon for cheaper... except it was stamped steel, not welded. Again, quality makes the difference.
@@vovin8132 Welded doesn't make it better. It is about the thickness... the fact you think that welds = better is a big red flag that you don't know what you are talking about and are easy to take advantage of.
@@thomgizziz Well I have extensively used it for years. I guess you like choking on smoke inside your tent because the seems are not welded closed. Thanks for your lecture on how I don't know what I'M talking about.

That’s called ducking freezing and not a viable way to live long spans of time dude chillax my face gets chilly
Correct
@@lindboknifeandtoolIf you’re freezing you didn’t buy the proper bag.
@@lindboknifeandtool OK, some winter training 4u. Get a proper sleeping bag and insulating sheet, if possible a raised canvas bed. Cook dinner and 2-3L of hot water while you eat. Enough calories and hot food help your body stay warm. Fill the water in nalgene/steel bottles or even small thermos, wrap those in a sock. Put them into your sleeping bag, next to your feet and between your legs. This will release heat over time, keep the water from freezing too, so you can use it to cook breakfast while still in your PROPER sleeping bag.
The real problem is the fact they keep selling these tents with the wrong stove. Always buy the tent and stove separately.
"made in China" stuff plagues Amazon and such storefronts easily. And they are intentionally marked up knowing people are willing to pay for it. At some point it's more cheaper to 'build' your own tent.
@@dra6o0nsurely if its more expensive and other people are buying it it must be worth the money, right? 😂

Here’s a trick the old timers used to do to have a hot stove all night:
Once you have a good set of coals rake them into something like an old pot, pile wood into your stove, add the coals, get the wood to start burning before shutting the door and restricting the oxygen
Coals will burn hot all night especially with fresh wood to keep them going
U don’t have to take out the coals. U pack the stove on top of the coals, getting it going then cut off the air
@@Ang.0910
You take them out if you’re burning the wood lengthwise not width wise
Yours is still a good method
l just sleep in oversized down ski clothes, toe socks under wool socks, a hat and a warm rocks. In the morning, I'm warm enough to heat up my van.
That is for an actual iron stove. This little steel stove cannot do that. It would eventually corrode away. Iron works differently.
Get some big rocks to leave on top of the stove before bed, they hold heat for a while
That’s also a solution good point
@@Austin_SaintOngecheck out @outdoorboys he takes the stove has pre piles made and ready and then as said above he puts stones on top the stove and heats em. He also doesnt sleep on the ground. He puts the hot stones or (hot embers ) under his bed/platform. He also boils water puts em in water containers and sleeps with em inside his tent. You really made a whole video of no sense.
@@jibbsmcdoink3009 I love outdoor boys! I saw all those tips he showed and they’re all great, I just should have just bought a larger stove and a - degree sleeping bag
@@Austin_SaintOnge wait till the glamping glass breaks in the night.... either you'll suffocate from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide...or it WIL KEEP YOU WARM as the tent burns down
@@Austin_SaintOngeTry using ash logs or beech if you can. Sometimes it's not the stove but what you're burning. That being said I live in England so negative 20 isn't really something we get, that'd be very extreme here. You're probably already using the best wood you can get. Your stove looks pretty nice but maybe buy a bigger one if you get another. My only other suggestion would be to upgrade your clothing/sleeping setup, use what the natives use fur and moccasins etc
[EDITed as my original reply was thought too harsh by some] If you wake up freezing you have the wrong sleeping system. The idea is not keeping the tent warm the whole night , but to give you 2 or 3 hrs in the evening when you prepare your meal, dry your clothes etc.. This makes a hell of a difference.
For sure, I’m a novice, I needed a sleeping bag instead of a blanket and bigger stove or a self feeding system would have been nice
@@Austin_SaintOnge I didn't mean it in a mean way, and I did not know you are a novice. I just stumbled in and this was your first video I saw 🙂 But videos like this are good for other novices who maybe have also wrong ideas/expectations.
When it gets really cold whatever you have under your sleeping bag gets more and more important as a lot of warmth dissipates through your mat into the ground. People freeze with giant sleeping bags when they do not invest enough effort into that part of insulation.
Where I live it gets down to -40 °C / -40F once in a while. So I know the whole temperature range below freezing point ;-)
@@AlexanderBlumenau hey thanks man I appreciate your input! And yeah insulating the floor makes a ton of sense.
@@Austin_SaintOngeIf you sleep on a cot, you don't insulate the floor. Your body weight compresses all the insulation loft under you, so you need a pad on top of the cot. Even with a winter bag, you'll sleep cold without one.
@@wolfman231 good to know! Thanks!
Being in a region with extreme cold there are some tricks:
1) Don't try to make it household Temps. The tent doesn't have the insulation to do so. 40F is more than warm enough.
2) let the tent cool down about an hour before you bed down. Wear as little as possible inside a cold weather sleeping g bag. A multilayer arctic bag is best.
3) when stocking the stove for the night, use as dense a wood as possible (you can get pressurized sawdust bricks for this) and choke the fire down to near extinguishing. It will still generate a little heat all night long as it smolders. It won't keep things above freezing, but it should keep it above 0F.
4) If you properly stocked your stove the night before, opening the vents in the morning will give you a quick burst of heat in the morning. You won't be cold for long.
Great tips thank you!
Sawdust bricks block the chimney flue vent. I've tried them at night for the heat so know first hand.
"Sawdust bricks". There's a point where you just use oil stoves like what we used in the artic at temporary work sites.
Pressurized sawdust bricks lol. No.
More like a high-temp/slow-burning wood like alder or birch

The US military sleep systems are great , anyway here in Australia our hardwoods will burn all night !
Just before getting out of your warm bed, put your clothes for the day into your bed/sleeping bag to get the cold off of them
@@Austin_SaintOngehey way to go on your channel. It’s awesome seeing a guy with down syndrome do so much outdoors stuff.
So basically just buy a regular tent, a good sleeping bag and a propane buddy heater...
That’s where the term fire watch in the army comes from. You take shifts during the night tending to the fire and make sure the tent doesn’t burn down
Need to get me one of them Tesla robots to do it for me lol
I was thinking about my grandfather's badge which says, "survived the night below 60⁰". There is definitely a way to do it. They had larger tents with one stove for multiple men, out in Alaska.
Grew up with a would burning stove in the house . I slept on the couch in the living room to keep the fire going during winter, also to sirs watch . The house almost caught fire several times. In more than 20 years . If I hadn't been there it would have burned down quickly
@@iivin423360 degrees? Or do you mean -60? That can’t be a badge 60 degrees at night is like room temperature. I’ve slept outside with nothing but clothes in those temps. And i’m a pussy compared to servicemen and most grandpas. Certainly my grandpas when they were alive.
-60 is extreme tho.
I live near a massive army base where one of the mountain divisions reside. It’s the snowiest place in the lower 48 below like 8k feet or something like that. They get a lot of snow. And pretty cold. It CAN technically get like -40 below i think tho it hasn’t in my lifetime. It’s come close.
They camp outside in winter.
There is nowhere on Earth our boys can’t go and survive for a few days or a few weeks with a modest amount of supplies.
I imagine it’s easier to survive in -10 F in a blizzard (with gear) than in death valley when it’s 125 every day. Idk i’ve never really been to the desert. I went to Dallas once in June and it was hot.
Isn’t fire watch also to have a sober, conscious set of eyes at all times? Yeah to stoke the fires, but also to keep watch.
Enemies, friends, wildlife. To keep aware of your surroundings so that your mates can sleep without needing to keep one eye open.
I’m gonna sleep much more peacefully in a combat zone if i know one (or ideally two) of my platoon mates is wide awake watching over us.
I should note that i’ve never been in military. I didn’t make it past Bear Scout. I’ve camped a lot, all in very safe locations with ample supplies usually piss drunk (not always). I’ve read a lot, and I’m smarter than your avg bear. But i have little actual experience or direct knowledge. I’m sure i could get a fire going in decent weather with some branches and a boot lace. But it would take me many hours.
$600? 🤣
Sounds like a business opportunity.
lol yup someone had a bright idea, not me! 😂
It's usually made of titanium. Unless it's some copy
@@trefaa I've Googled tent stoves, and aside from the cheap Chinesium ones, the vast majority come in at the £250 - 350 ($300 - 400) price range.
All made from Stainless steel with several having cast iron parts.
The best looking one, (with fantastic Trustpilot reviews) was the Outbacker Firebox, which was well within the aforementioned price range.
Titanium will be lighter (though who's backpacking with a stove?) and it will take on a beautiful colouration, but I'd go with the $300 Stainless steel one.
@@Austin_SaintOngewait till the glass breaks and your life depends on the heat, or worse: whether the fire pops out and burns the tent down while you sleep or carbon monoxide
I missed that $600 for a metal box without the electronics 😆 oh and tent still 500$ too much
Outdoor boys disagrees
I always wake up freezing in the morning. That's why I stay in my bag, reach over and stoke the fire before I climb out.
Question, and let me start off by saying I know nothing about this, but could you use something like coal instead? Doesn't it burn longer / hotter so you could restrict air a little more or something and get the same heat output.
Haha "gangsters paradise" in the background... Stoked the stove once or twice , sleeping in this land of ice .

Hot-tenting with a wood-burning stove was never meant for you to keep the wood-burning stove going while you sleep. It gives you a place that you can boil water or cook food inside if weather is really bad outside and gives you a way and a place to be able to warm up out of the weather. Take adequate gear with you so that you can cold- sleep. You’re not meant to try to keep that little stove going all night. That was never its intended purpose. Your sleep system and base layers should be what provides 100% of your warmth so that you can sleep.
Brother, having a woodstove in the tent is great for a lot of things, especially when you’re awake.
But if you’re out in -20, you need sleeping gear rated for -20 at the very least. Then you’ll sleep fine all night.
Kudos to you for being willing to do your learning while everybody in the world watches. That’s a definite level of humility and genuine love of learning there. Not everybody would be down with having others watch them learn from mistakes.
Thank you for the kind words and I agree 100%! The cot helped keep me off the floor, dry and warm but I needed a - degree sleeping bag. And imthe stove worked great in the daytime!
@@Austin_SaintOnge : Idk if this will help you at all, brother, but since you’re just getting used to things and learning, maybe a few tips from somebody who spent a lot of time sleeping outside and -20 and lower, might be useful. Just to shorten the learning curve.
so you’ve already got a cot, and I think that’s probably gonna be your first best thing you could’ve ever done for yourself.
Then the next thing, is to get yourself a sleeping pad that is rated for sufficiently cold weather. No joke.
One rated for a lower temperature, will not cut it, and you’ll most likely be utterly miserable all night long, no matter what the rating on your sleeping bag is.
So if you’re operating with pretty much no budget, there’s a way around that colon go to the dollar store and pick yourself up a couple of those dense foam yoga mats. Maybe see if you can scrounge a couple of metres of Tyvek, and throw it in the wash, but not the dryer.
Tyvek is very crinkly when it’s brand new, but once it goes through the wash a couple times and then gets hung to dry, it gets soft and much quieter without compromising any of the thermal qualities. so that might be an easy work around there, especially if any of your friends do a bit of construction. If not, you can sometimes order a couple of metres of the right width online for a modest price. Some people even put a zipper or some Velcro on there, and make a bivvy bag out of it.
Of course you could use any other foam or whatever, but that’s probably your cheapest best bet.
You can also use one of those reflective bubble sheets things underneath your yoga mat or sleeping pad to reflect more heat back to you.
These ideas are in expensive, and good price to be OK for you, Plus, they don’t add much to the burden of weight that goes on your back in your backpack when you’re hiking into your campsite.
In terms of your sleeping bag, if you have one, that’s not rated for cold weather, you may pick up an arctic one at the army surplus store. That could be hard right now while there’s conflict on, but you could always check.
alternatively, you can go to a secondhand shop, and see if you can find one that’s rated to the coldest rating you can find, and pick it up inexpensively. then put one of your sleeping bags inside of the other. it’ll be much warmer, although it’ll probably be heavier if you’re trekking. There’s not much you can do about that until you can afford one sleeping bag that’s fairly compact and rated to at least what you need.
The other thing that I would suggest, is finding one of those heavy wool blankets, almost like an army blanket. You might even get one at surplus.
The nice thing about those, is that they breathe nicely, and that even if the atmosphere is humid, wool always stays warm.
You can get one that you can put across your cot and then put your bedding in it, and then fold it over the top of your sleeping bag like a taco, for extra warmth and coziness.
The other thing, is that if you’re wearing mukluks Or any winter boot with liners, when you get in the bed at the end of the night, you can consider putting your liners at the foot of your sleeping bag, and if you’re too tall, for that, put them along side of your feet in the sleeping bag.
That way, the warmth from your body, while you sleep will drive some of the moisture out of the liners, so that you’re not walking around in wet boots that’ll keep your feet cold the next day.(An old army trick that served us really well.)
and if you’re one of those people that tends to run cold, consider taking a hot water bottle with you, even a small one. Some people like to take a Nalgene bottle, but I personally like an old-fashioned, small hot water bottle.
When you have your bedtime snack, just put a little extra water in the kettle, and get it hot, but not boiling. it needs to be about a third full, and then you just squeeze out any excess water before you put the stopper on. Put it in your bag, at the bottom where your feet are going to go. by the time you’ve got your teeth, brushed and gotten A lot of your street clothes, move the hot water bottle up to where your that will be, and it fits really nicely right in the small of a persons back. There’s a little bit of an art to getting just the right amount of water into it, but once you’ve got it, you never forget it.
and as I mentioned, the other thing is not to sleep in your outdoor clothes. Because it’ll keep the sleeping bag from functioning like it’s designed to, and you’ll end up cold. It’s better to sleep in your longjohns. and that won’t even be too miserable If you have had the stove going in your tent before this, so it’s fairly warm when you get ready for bed.
personally, as long as my clothes are dry, I’d like to stick them down in the foot of my sleeping bag as well, but then, again, I’m not very tall and there’s lots of room down there. That way, when I get up in the morning, even when the tent is cold, I’ve got warm clothes to haul on right away.
The other tip for somebody who might run cold, is to bring a balaclava. That way your face is not cold, and you won’t be tempted to stick your face in the bag. Because when your face goes in the bag, condensation warms you up for a moment, but in the middle of the night, it sure takes a toll and you wake up frozen. That’s just nasty.
Canadian military sleeping bags have something that’s absolutely wonderful: a hood. If your’s doesn’t have that, And you decide that you want one, they’re not hard to make.
basically, all you do is go to the thrift store and find a coat that’s nice and warm, with a good hood on it that fits beautifully, preferably with a little bit of foxtail hair for around the hood, because that actually shield you from flying snow, which could be good if you’re out in a hammock some nights. A parka hood would be ideal.
so you put on the coat and do it up, hood and all. have a friend help mark the coat across the chest, right under the arms, and probably across the sleeves, too, if you plan to cut those off.
you can choose to have sleeves on this, or not. The military ones have no sleeves.
then, you’ll probably want to remove the zipper from the coat, by cutting the thread that holds it in place.
if the cult you choose to work with, has a down, feeling, make sure that you stitch above, and below, where you’re going to cut, because once you cut, feathers will go absolutely everywhere. But it’s easy to prevent, And besides that, you can do your cutting outside on the doorstep, if feathers going everywhere is a possibility. The wind can deal with it for you.
At this point, it’s time to decide whether you would like to have a zipper in the front when it’s done, or if you just want to have a couple of bits of Velcro. Personally, I like Velcro, because When a person turns over on Velcro it is soft, An unlikely to wake the sleeper up.
put a few pins were you took the zipper out, to keep things together so they don’t get too chaotic.
If you’re putting the zipper back in, this is a good time to put it in place, but it’ll be way too long. That’s OK.
Just start with the bottom of the zipper, and when you get to the top, cut it off a couple of inches too long, and then take a pair of pliers and pull the extra teeth out of the way, fold it over, and sew it down.
But if you’re not doing that, just a basic seam of the front, will keep it together. Both sides.
then you basically take a sewing machine, or find a friend who’s familiar with one, and just run a seam all the way around, from zipper to zipper, on the line that you drew. then cut just below that line, including sleeves, if you don’t want sleeves. So you essentially it up with a hood attached to shoulders, and a little yoke.
put your hood set up back on again, and Assuming you decided against sleeves, have your friend mark the place where your armpits will be, On both the front and the back. You’ll put a piece of elastic there, and just zigzag stitch that down. It only takes a moment. do you want the elastic to be at least maybe a centimetre or half an inch wide, so it’s not digging into your flesh, and you want it fairly loose. It’s just a hold the hood in place, but let you comfortably turn over in the bag without losing your hood.
If you decide that you’d like to have Velcro closure, put a couple of pieces, maybe 3 inches long on your yolk at the top, and just under the chin, so you can Velcro, your sleeping bag, hood closed, comfortably. Sew that down with a straight stitch on your sewing machine.
That’s a great way to fall asleep comfortably, it’ll keep you from putting your head in the bag at night, and you’ll be warm all night long, and if you roll over on the hot water bottle, it won’t wake you up like a Nalgene bottle will.
I hope I didn’t overwhelm you with so many ideas, but if I did, ignore most of it, and just pick your favourite tip, If indeed, any of them appeal to you at all, and run with it.
When you see how that one works for you, maybe pick the next one and try it.
There should be no need for suffering while you’re camping in the winter, my friend. Especially if you own a cot.
I hope to see lots more videos from you, as you get things going the way you want.
Well said 👏 ❤
@@daphneraven6745The level of stroking going on here. Jeeeze... Write a book.
@@daphneraven6745 very well written intelligent comment good sir. Good information in there. I have used many of the suggestions you mentioned winter camping in both Northern Michigan, and Fairbanks Alaska.
The same rule applies for any fire: when you thinking you've processed enough for the night, process more! It takes five seconds to put wood in fire. That's IF you have it processed already...
I had enough for two nights worth, it’s just this little tin can isn’t big enough 😂 had to reload it every 30-45 minutes. It’s also because it leaks slightly where the glass meets the stainless so it’s hard to control the airflow
@@Austin_SaintOngethat right there has a lot to do with it. The airflow is everything. I used to have this same stove an would take my 7 yr old son winter camping all the time. I'd set an alarm for every 2 hrs an take less than 2 mins to fill it up we never once got cold. Every 30 to 40 mins is crazy lol
@rebelboy69 yeah I guess I haven’t quite done fine tunes the airflow yet. Thanks!
Also really depends on what wood he’s burning cause I could fill that thing corner to corner with oak and it would last long enough to roll over and drop a handful more in.
It's to bad most people don't really know how to camp in a tent if you really want to stay out in the freezing temperatures. The proper way to camp like that is to build or own a military pole tent. They can use a wood stove that will burn all night. They are large enough for a big family with areas for sleeping, cooking, and gaming areas. You might look into one. My family spent many years during deer season staying sometimes as long as 4 weeks.
Unless you are in truly arctic conditions then you shouldn't need to keep the fire going all night. Cold is fine for sleep given the right sleeping bag.
I use an army surplus oil burning stove in my bell tent because of this exact issue. The stove is called an SHS (Space heater Small) and it was made by two different companies, Hunter and ITR. Mine's an ITR but I don't think there's much of a difference. I modified it to accept a 5 gallon steel Jerry can that I strap to a tripod (gravity feed) and I can run the stove for 28-36 hours straight.
Problem is that these stoves are pretty hard to find and recently they've gotten extremely expensive. Because of that I completely bathe my stove in oil for storage. I paid $400 but now I see them for like $900. That's not including the external fuel tank modification which can easily be another $200+ plus the Jerry can breather tube/fuel cap-thing and tripod are also hard to find.
But yeah I got lucky because I have the most reliable hot tent set up on earth with this thing haha. The stove makes this ethereal, gentle, deep, "whooshing" sound, like wind in slow motion or something. And it has a 1 inch glass view port that's a perfect night light.
I really should make a video about this thing because it's such a unique and robust tent heating system
I built an off grid 12x12 cabin out of pallet wood and salvaged lumber and I use a a portable wood stove in that. It’s well insulated and that little stove cranks in there. When I do sleep out there I wake up around 2-3 times to feed it but that’s part of using wood for heat.
That’s pretty cool! When I buy my property I’ve considered making a cabin out of pallets as I can get them from work for frew
Sweep the flue.
Pro tip you do what's is known as a hot load. You get a cooking thermometer load that bad boy up with wood chips/ small pieces all over the bottom and then split a hard wood such a sap wood and split pieces about as wide as a finger but almost as long as the stove. Load that bad boy up and see what the top temp is and how long it stays at top temp. That's how long you can sleep comfortably.
So if top temp of thermometer is 190 I can sleep 190 minutes?
@GrapheneOxideIsInCVVax you gotta keep reading. You skipped the "HOW LONG IT STAYS AT TOP TEMP"
@@GrapheneOxideIsInCVVax☝️
@@GrapheneOxideIsInCVVax I want you to test that and let me know. Thats what I do.
Man I just learned more about keeping warm out in the elements by reading the comments here. Than I have in all my 52 years on this rock. Kudos to you for having the guts to come on here asking for help. ✌️
lol I’ve learned quite a bit too, that’s the nice thing about TH-cam! Never claimed to be a master outdoorsman but I’m glad that people have offered so much helpful recommendations
Was gonna say not all tent stoves are equal some are great for certain things while being not so good for others. Just need to get the type that best suits your needs
@@Austin_SaintOngeI do t have to worry about snow here in Australia, but I know for sure if you have a stretcher or non insulated air mattress, they’re good for comfort but difficult to stay warm because they have air passing underneath.
So you either layer it, with an insulating blanket below your sleeping bag (+ insulators retain whatever heat is there, go to bed cold, wake up cold, go to bed warm, you’ll likely stay warm in a decent sleeping bag) another handy one is a ground mat that is reflective pointing up to refelect heat back in your tent.
Another good tip is take off a layer of clothing before bed (keep them in your bag or someplace they’ll remain warm so you have a warm layer to add on when you wake up).
Turn the air intake way down and have a slow fire through the night. That all depends on the stove though of course and would have been the first thing you tried, but just incase haha
I tried limiting airflow to the smallest opening, I think it’s leaking through where the glass contacts the stainless
If you pack the firebox very full, even with small pieces, and restrict the air-flow, you can keep it going for quite a while. No, you can't keep a roaring fire in there for hours on end. You have to balance heat output to keep the tent comfortable for sleeping - UNDER BLANKETS or IN A SLEEPING BAG, not at a toasty 25 C.
That’s fair. Some people have mentioned using charcoal as well. I think I should have sprung for a larger stove. Also yeah I need a - degree sleeping bag
@@Austin_SaintOngeI think charcoal may last longer but would probably be to hot for this system I think if ya have to much it would burn out the stove
@@trailman20 ah ok gotcha.
Pack a bag of coal.
@@geezerguy6410 - Or just pack a pick & shovel and dig a coal mine when you get there.
Most people would have figured this out before they hiked out into the woods.
I just took my Land Cruiser out with it. Not ambitious enough to hike with all that 🤣
@@Austin_SaintOngeand you think you are mountain man?
@blood.of.fenrir5575 Did I say that I was?
Lol
@@Austin_SaintOngeIt would seem that what is unrealistic is your expectations and credibility. Not the hot tent camping stove.
You have an SUV, bring some charcoal for nighttime. It will burn for well over 8 hours.
When you spend 20 years sleeping in the field, you learn a few cheats.
Charcoal burning also produces massive quantities of toxic carbon monoxide. Not exactly something you wanna be sleeping in a tent with
@@Swissmister93 Wood, coal, charcoal, diesel, and propane are all burned in houses and camp tents. You use a stove with a chimney. You don't just build a fire on the ground in a tent. Notice the guy doing it knew exactly what I was talking about. Sleep in tents for twenty years, and you'll figure out lots of things.
Get Joe Bidumb Solar Nighttime Furnace and make an ice cream cone.😮
Its not really camping if you bring your own firewood (or coal in this case) with a car to your tent.
I took a wood stove and put in burners from an old grill. Runs over 2 days on a 20lb propane tank.
Ooo that’s a cool idea 💡
Gas burners?
@Dean-O-Holics that would be pretty cool 😎
Sounds expensive and it’s tough to find propane tanks laying around the forest every 2 days.
@sirsmokealot96 also forgot to mention this entire setup lives in the back of my Land Cruiser. Not a backpacker just wanted to try out hot tent camping since I’ve seen it all over TH-cam. But yeah, firewood is obviously much more abundant in the woods 😃
You gotta choke it so it burns slower. Also put rocks around it so it can give off long lasting radiant heat.
Yeah the flute rod wasn’t function properly and couldn’t get it to stay closed. Now that it’s fixed should be able to burn longer
If you're in conditions that cold you have to insulate you tent to make a difference. It will resemble a dwelling at that point, but that's the idea. Use what's available. Pine boughs work well. Stick bundles also work. Doesn't have to be sealed perfect, just enough to hold that slightly warmer air near the surface of the tent. Then the walls and ceiling won't be too cold. Works very well when there is little to no wind. Good luck and stay safe!
You’re right I definitely didn’t do a good job of sealing the tent. It’s hard to get the zippers to seal up propers if you don’t have your pegs lined up perfect. Thanks!
This guy just learned how fire works. Probably shouldn't be making camping content
The problem is a your sleep system, not the stove.
You’re correct. Seems like a buddy heater is alot simpler of a setup
Or a PROPER SLEEP SYSTEM. You know, sleeping mat and down sleeping bag appropriate for the conditions...
@Spushed yup you’re right
@@Austin_SaintOngebuy once cry once. Nemo sells really good gear. An insulated tensor pad and one of their -10 sleeping bags would probably suit you quite well. Gonna cost ya 800$..ish. but solid gear nonetheless.
@youngboyharless9769 good to know! I’ll check them out
It might be a good idea to insulate the outside of the tent with maybe some wood brush and snow so that it will hold the heat in
That’s also a great point. I forgot to kick snow up against the base to seal it properly. Thank you!
Definitely not good for anything below 0. But if you can make charcoal, then you should be fine over night (if it's summer).
That’s why you bring a sleeping bag 😢
True, I shoulda brought one, but I’m thinking a simple buddy heater would be better
@@Austin_SaintOngeA good sleepingbag works for many years of youtube use and some have a comfort temp of -40F. That should do for most of your tent days.
@@MrKveite1 i definitely need to invest in a good sleeping bag
Stove for day, buddy heater at night, sounds like a decent plan, I lived in my van for a while, the buddy heater kept me warm enough that I could be butt naked in winter in Montana. 😅👍
I have 2 size buddy heaters for camping, and have loved them. Tent, small cabin, or overland vehicle camping works out great, when paired with a proper rated sleeping bag
You can buy a larger stove which has some cons but I use mine for overland camping so I don’t hike too far. I’ve been hot tent camping for over a decade now and you can definitely maintain the fire for long periods of time with a quality stove.
I agree. I’m not gonna lie I bought this one because it looked the coolest 🤪 it’s definitely too small
@@Austin_SaintOnge I use a Bereg tent and stove check them out.
@@foreverpaulways1670 certainly will !
I have this same exact tent an stove an never once have I had to wake up an stoke the fire. The type of wood your burning plays a huge part in it. I use nothing but white an red oak at night time an its never let me down.
Sir, your hot tent stove is way too small !
I agree, it’s like a backpackers size. Need a bigger one
That’s what I thought. The stove pipe had the diameter of a soup can.
One a larger one is a fire and gas hazard.
Two it has to be portered to the camp.
Aww, boo-hoo, princess. It's just not fair is it? Were her tootsies cold in the morning? Camping sucks.
If you let the ash build up and don't clean out the ash pan you can keep a bed of coals for hours, trust me I know. So it's up to preferences in whether you want a quick hot fire or a everlasting bed of coals. So to be honest they work awesome if you know how to use them.
Interesting, I guess the sayings true, ‘the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long’🤪
Leave ashes in too long or too deep and you will melt your firebed.
Save ashes through the day and cover your logs with Ash to restrict airflow.
Ash/coals in the tent WITHOUT the stove.. without ventilation can be deadly- btw. Important information ℹ️ for the world.
Carbon monoxide
@308253427 yes! I woke up one morning and the exhaust had clogged and filled the tent with smoke. Lucky to be alive
If your camping at -20, you need an insulated ice fishing tent.
Or at least a thicker canvas to retain the heat.
or a good sleeping bag system
mine goes down to -60c if I use EVERY single part of it
Any decent "four season" tent will work. And the rain-fly isn't just for rain... It gives you a second wall creating an insulated gap.
I'm old fashioned and think a stove in your tent is just asking for something really bad to happen. Exceptions for some serious mountaineering and some big base-camps... But in general, just no.
@@travcollier yeah im also not a big fan of tent fires lol
Sleeping bag and tent works just fine!
I had a pop nice 8 man pop up shanty, I loved it, id get up before the sun and be on the ice right before sunrise. I had a Coleman propane lantern I used for light an heat and at 0°F I could take off my snowsuit an sit an fish comfortably with a sweater an jeans, Ih had a thin coating of some kinda insulating rubber on the inside. It was Eskimo brand and the color red. Eventually I got tired of dragging all that stuff around by myself cause no one wants to go ice fishing cause they think they would be cold the entire time, so after a few years ice fishing I gave it up, plus I live in Ohio and their are entire winters where we wouldn't get enough ice to fish.
Hate to let you know......this is the way it works
Just wear Thicker Thermals and Socks Easy❤😊
When your stove dies out it just turns from a hot tent to a tent
We shouldnt rely on the stove for over night warmth ideally you want the heating off when you sleep and let your sleeping bag do the work, the stove is ideal for being sociable and sitting around in the evenings
lol 😂 that seems to be the consensus, I was dumb and only brought a cot with a down comforter. I’ll bring a - degree sleeping bag next time! Thanks
@@Austin_SaintOnge we live and learn!
I'm sure people will dis agree with that but I don't like the thought of a fire or gas heater running while we are sleeping!
@georgedawson235 for sure, the exhaust did clog up a few times forcing smoke past the glass seals and made the tent super smoky. I think a simple buddy heater is a good cheap solution, but also will come with its issues
There are heated battery-powered vests on the market that you can sleep in to boost heat when camping. That in conjunction with a stove may work out all night. Think in terms of a target: stove, sleep system for insulation, and battery-powered vest for heat. The vest plus a good sleep system should last through the night.
I’ve slept for weeks in 10 degree down to -6 in Kentucky, good sleep system you won’t need to stoke it, get a insulation liner if you’re going to be sleeping in temps below zero. These stoves are made for quick and easy setup to serve as short term heating options. In a pinch they can be used for longer term if needed.
Here’s another huge problem; people not realizing that there are hard woods and there are soft woods. A forearm sized piece of seasoned red oak will burn for 5-6 hours if you have a bed of coal and your damper is set correctly.
Some places don’t have hardwood. A lot of colder places do not have hardwood.
The hot stove is not the issue, the issue is that you're using a cot, Are you even using a -20° sleepingbag? That tent doesnt look to keep your warm throughout the night. But you could just have sissy skin 😂
Lived in a drafty 6'x14' cabin in Alaska for a year. It would cool off rapidly, but the key is having a good sleaping bag so you dont wake up cold. And having used motor oil to get the fire going again fast in the morning. Just a little bit on the charcoal. Works every time.
Funny you should mention I actually did use some motor oil (new) to get it going again 🤣 that’s pretty cool you roughed it in Alaska
@@Austin_SaintOnge soak some egg cartons or newspaper in vegetable oil.
Excellent fire starter.
Also, wide cap water bottles like nalgene in a sock and a fleece liner for the bag are excellent. You can dry the liner outside or in the evening, hanging from the ceiling of the tent
@@campandcook3118 nice idea with the vegetable oil. Yeah I’ve been looking into those hot water bottles, pretty cool!
Used vegetable oil or old candle stubs does the trick also.
And they aren't stinking as much!
That’s true, last thing I want is to be breathing in some burnt plastic or other material 😂
You could try to mod the tent with something like Mylar that will hold the heat inside the tent longer. Duct tape some space blankets together to make a tarp you can put over the tent. Or use some of those cheap tarps that are green on one side, Mylar on the other, and cover the tent with them.
Great idea!
Sounds like condensation city in winter. Lol I would not do that. Part of the appeal of canvas is that it breathes. Imagine how humid it'd be wrapped in mylar. Lol
@@zakkw788 Yeah. I was just brainstorming ideas. Actually, I don’t think it would get too humid inside. There’s still a wood stove in there. I was thinking of the Mylar only on top of the tent like a cap to hold in the heat. Leave the sides of the tent as is, for ventilation.
@Dan.Solo.Chicago the mylar works. No it doesn't get to humid. I was in a hot tent for two months in minus 20 celcius. Was just fine.
I was thinking using coal
Stoke it every other time you get up to pee.
This hot stove is super small and it was literally going out within 30 minutes of not adding another log
@@Austin_SaintOnge turn the draft down so it’s not burning wide open, and bring a weather rated sleeping bag. Doing this burns the wood slower and makes it last longer.
I’ve slept under tarp shelters with a long fire on a ground pad with nothing but a blanket. It takes work, waking up only once every couple hours to add wood and stoke the fire.
Couple weeks ago I slept outside without a tarp mid winter and had a fire going all night without an issue.. it’s a preparation and skill issue you’re complaining about
@@norco4life518 well said! Thanks for the valuable info
If the stove won't accept decent size firewood then you bought the wrong stove.
@carzepp yup I agree! Shouldn’t read the dimensions closer on amazon 🤪
bro doesnt understand the concept. Sad. Of course it wont burn all night.
Important part: Do I have to go outside the tent to start a fire and stay warm? A sheltered fire next to the cot is more than I could ask for.
There are much better, smaller, lighter, and less demanding methods to keep warm available at your mountaineering shop.
We used hot stoves in the army in alaska. Some key differences: we used large 13 man tents, so we rotated 1 hour fire guard shifts to watch the stove all night, and we fueled the stoves with diesel so they ran days with out refill. The people talking about this idea don’t seem to comment with much authority, howerve having used similar system for years, I think this videographer nailed the downsides precisely, oh and the weight.
Hey thanks for understanding the point I was trying to make. Not claiming to be a burly outdoorsman. Just sharing my experience as a novice
Videographer. Great word.
diesel?
I go outside bare feet and no shirt in -20c around the yard and when I smoke my joints.
Thanks for your insight and honesty.
I was thinking of buying one of these, but now I will look into buying a bigger one
That’s the best takeaway I was trying to convey!
I grew up winter camping, and that's just the way she goes. The stove used here is a little small compared to what often gets used, but yeah, historically you just dealt with it and got up several times a night. Some folks who spent lots of time in these things have claimed to be able to re-stoke the fire in their sleep. Better than sleeping outside, at least!
Got a basically 18" cubed stove in my van, 8 hours of heat easy when she's crammed. The husky would rather I let it go out haha I crack the door for him
Explain how to stay warm then? Don't just say they aren't good and leave it at that.
I know while in the army our “hot tent” (I was stationed at Fort wainwright in Fairbanks Alaska) had a JP8 diesel fuel heater. The carburetor leaked fuel constantly and when I woke up during my fire guard shift I had everyone evacuate the tent because there was a pile of diesel on the ground surrounding our stove! lol it’s crazy. We went from arctic survival to being deployed to Afghanistan… made no sense but I would not trade it for anything
Good thing diesel is combustible not flammable
@@djnone8137 that is true.
Ive heated a tent with a candle lantern. It was -30ish. Also cooked in vestibule that warmed it way up. Was a north face 4 season tent. Circa 2000.
Just want to add that most people that have lived in tents wintertime have not had a fire going at night unless someone stayed up and guarded the fire. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and burning bedding is no fun either. But if you have a stone hearth the stnes store heat.
I FROZE! -20 No woolens, a tent that is flimsier than a bed sheet, and a really crappy sleeping bag..... 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah pretty much
Try a dual chambered rocket stove, button it up to barely consume the firewood sticks, it’ll auto, gravity feed , just make sure you have fresh air feeding it
what an odd song choice
😂
just wake up every 3 hours
Are you serious......u FIND A METAL BOX AND PIPE. JEESE. Theres no way you payed 600$. Funny joke. Small metal trash can.js
Sounds like a skill issue
Have you tried throttling the intake to get it to burn slower? Probably still not enough to get a stove that small through the night but just a thought.
Yeah that helped for sure, need to use a slower burning wood though and bigger stove
I bought a made in Russia sauna tent, it's insulated. The oven is bigger and it's hot . Had it up in the front yard to test. Got it FB mkt place $200. He said it cost him $1,200 with delivery.
Outdoor Boys (the channel) uses this all the time in his Alaskan winter camping. Luke (owner of channel) swears by them.
+1 for the cavas tent, -1 for complaints about the cold,.... =0
You know what doesn’t cost $600 and works great ??? KEROSENE heaters
As inconvenient as a small stove is, I'd rather wake up cold and then stoke a fire to warm up and eat a warm meal which will then allow me to collect more fuel and food. If you're living out doors in a tent you have to expect discomfort and inconvenience. The idea is to stay alive.
Well said!
Yeah you're using it wrong. The idea behind the stove in the tent isn't to use it while you are sleeping. That's what the sleeping bag and sleeping system is for. If you are too cold, you're using the wrong bag. Use a proper sleeping bag and you'll be comfortable all night. You'll be really cold when you first climb out of that bag to get the stove going, but the idea there is to be comfortable as you're milling about getting ready to go outside. When I was growing up I stayed with my aunt and uncle for a while that had a house with a wood stove and even a residential wood. Stove won't stay lit all night. You need to stoke it at least once through the night. That's just how they work.
at least you can stoke it while you are inside. a real campfire you would also have to stoke and thats outside in the cold so this is way better than freezing your nuts off. or you just prep your wood by soaking it in resin so it will last way longer and put those in right before bed. or look at putting an insulating layer over your tent like those tin foil things. should also help keep the heat in
TMS Portable Military Camping Wood Stove Tent Heater. $99 and 3x bigger!!
It's part of the surviving experience, if you're comfortable your not camping
*That is why women were always in the Kitchen back in the good old days, so they would not have to worry about starting the fire again.*
Survival isnt always comfortable. Some of us arent " glamping"
600 dollars lol
Just throw some black coal in there overnight and the embers will keep you warm
My guess on ubisoft's reaction to this is the following:
A. They do nothing
B. They backpedal and revive the game to try and kill momentum on the movement so they can do this to other games in the future
C. They offer refunds to try and placate people
What the heck why did this end up on this video? I was talking on the Ross Scott video
Be happy you woke up. Without the stove, you might not have. I wake up every 2-3 hours, and I'm not tending a fire.
OR your expectations are unrealistic... Get a bigger one and then maybe the stove and your expectations will align a little better?
Even then there's a limit to how big it can because you have to carry it and it has to fit in the tent. Also there's a limit how long wood (or any fuel) will burn which all combined results in having to wake up regularly to tend the fire.
Try making a fire that burns for say 8 hours, then you know what size a stove would have to be to contain that fire. Now imagine having to carry that... It all comes back to your expectations being realistic.
A 'Pomoly T1 Mini 3' inside a size 2 or 3 Polish Lavvu with the Spanish Bushcraft mod will keep you warm in the shittiest weather. I had this exact setup in Muddus National Park in far north Sweden during the winter and I barely had to tend to it throughout the night...
The cooking tool shouldn't be what is keeping you warm while you sleep. Lord.
$600? Hmm.
I cant imagine what getting an hour of sleep, solid, would be like when out there. Seems nice, as a thought, but realistically whi sleeps all night when out? Maybe people do, but they're weird. Keeping that going shouldn't be too much of a ball ache at all. M
600 on Amazon??? Thats crazy i have this same stove but from temu was 98 bucks lol same brand and manufacturer
I heated my RV for a winter in the mntc of Colorado with a $100 Amazon stove. About 4 hours between refills. Saved many $ in propane, and was toasty warm.
Having a stove means you have to do stove things? Shock horror.
I can make a weber smokey mountain burn for 12+ hrs without having to top up the charcoal. It also costs way way less than $600. You got ripped off. That stove is a piece of junk.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but +5C isn’t freezing cold weather… at least not for us Canadians. 😂 Top it of +90F is warmer then my tin can of a trailer, I keep it at 68F over winter.
Ain't really 'bout makin' heat, rather keeping in what heat you have. It's the reason mummy bags and down liners for sleeping Bags were invented.
You gotta preserve what your Body produces when you're awake to avoid risk of hypothermia, and more importantly, the waste of calories your body uses to produce that heat.
Hypothermia is a killer for lost folk up North, and if you don't have a heat carry bag up in Northern Canada, you're as good as dead if you get lost anywhere (Canada is a very big Country with very few people, so you'd be lucky to find anyone).
$600 my god you can hire me ill keep the fire going all night for $600 that's insane somebody is having a good laugh you paid WAY WAY to much i live in England and iv just looked them up now for prices and i see so many different ones for around a hundred pounds but 600 id expect it to cook for me too 😂😂😂❤❤
There are current models, slightly larger. That work. Also I always bring coal lumps ,carefully chosen in size , for nighttime. Total game changer two per 6 hours.
