as a truck driver i lived with those diesel heaters for years in the truck sleeper cab. they are quiet and comfortable and it's so nice to shut the big engine off and get a good quiet sleep. ours were Espar heaters. Webasto are just as good from what i hear. they will keep a semi sleeper warm down to about -20 centigrade. or if you close the curtain to the cab about -30 centigrade, but then you have a cold cab in the morning. you will never use them enough to 'wear anything out' ; on the contrary it is good to run them monthly for an hour or so all during the summer to lubricate the pumps and seals and blow the dust out. it wouldn't hurt to find a small bottle of diesel fuel conditioner for very cold temperatures. it really doesn't matter what brand as long as you improve the cetane rating (similar to octane in gasoline). these heaters work by spraying diesel fuel on a tiny red hot glowpin and the higher quality the fuel the more likely it is to ignite. since you have the fuel tank inside the cab it should not cause you cold weather problems. it's such a beautiful sound to hear the flame kick in like a little tiny jet engine as you settle in for the evening.
when i first encountered this guy--and with that accent--i said: this isnt for me. But charm takes many forms and he sucked me in and now i need my weekly foresty forest fix.
He raises his arm in triumph as he approaches... again to his footsteps that he made when he set up the camera. It’s tough doing everything alone good job retreading in all your vids.
Haha yeah that was the 2nd moment of reaching the summit. I think being on camera is more interesting than 1st person GoPro video.. Or Maybe I should just use a selfie stick.
You're definitely one of a kind and I love seeing your videos pop up when I get on TH-cam. You definitely keep me going and give me great ideas to spare. Keep on doing what you're doing, you're an inspiration and entertainer to everyone who is a fan, and those who aren't! 👍💪
Hey FF. Great work. You have inspired me to do the same. Unfortunately I would only be a weekend warrior due to work up in Edm. Be safe out there. ✌️🇨🇦 "whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god".
great demonstration of the start up power. That is a great example of the headroom required in an electrical circuit, especially with motors and not "squeezing power" out of a circuit.
I kept watching your content for a while now without commenting. Just wanna say you're living the dream and I really envy your vanlife and the way you converted it. I lived in a truck camper for a year but the setup was cheap and always had problems with the truck or camper. Nice videos, keep going!
I bought one of those diesel heaters for my 5'x10' cargo trailer conversion. I got the all-in-one version for simpler install. It'll be used as a dorm room for my son in northern New Hampshire, so -25F will be common in Jan / Feb. We'll see how it goes.
Ya know I have little use for a diesel heater but it was interesting none the less 👍 Fantastic job with the van and kudos for sharing so many amazing things with everyone. I look forward to and greatly enjoy the content. Safe travels and be well.
Goodonyah. Washboard, we call corrugations and Australia is full of them when you travel away from the crowds. Glad to hear the diesel heater is working well. We love ours but now we wish for airconditioning as temperature 35-42 Celcius.
Beautiful Views!! Thank U for taking me along with you on your journey!! Only way I will see it cuz I have major spinal disabilities.....So Thanks Again!!.....U made my day 😁👍💕
Real stuffy info to gulp about the fumes..and all the installation done by trial is job well done sir! Hoping all for the bests in your adventures buddy! Stay healthy🙏🏼
Wow, a great move on that Diesel Heater. Now, I want one for my camper. Nice hiking trails pal, you do get around. You get hurt you're on your own out there. Have a emergency backup plan. Hey, try pulling some trout out of those streams and fry up with some potatoes and corn. While trout fishing I use whole corn for the bait too. I bet your mom taught you everything about cooking meals … Good knowing how to cook for sure.
You're totally right, I need to get into fishing. I used to get rainbow trout as a kid. I'm looking into getting a personal locator beacon for safety precautions. The diesel heater is great, such a game changer..!
Foresty Forest you are one bad, awesome little dude. I've done pro wrestling and cage fighting but I don't have the balls to hike way out and high up in the mountains by myself. What if BIGFOOT chases me? What if I get hurt and I'm all by myself? What if I get lost? You've got courage and you're a unique person and a throwback. I respect the heck out of you.
That’s quite the interesting heater. $188 on Amazon (with remote and muffler). Makes sense to install one in your vehicles in cold regions, even if not living in your car. Imagine being stuck on the highway in a blizzard or having engine troubles and you are out of cellphone range. This heater will keep you warm until help has a chance to arrive.
I usually have a -20C rated sleeping bag and half kg chocolate in my car in winter when I lived in northern Ontario. Should be surfice to keep me going when rescue arrive.
That's quite a view you've got over your shoulder there. And I thought I was cold down here in Oregon, lol. Good luck with the job prospects. No one can accuse Canadians of being candy asses.
Your videos are beautifully done and a lovely story but you've done very well and I do worry about your safety. I love the end though when the guy comes and recognises you brilliant 👏
So you're officially "TH-cam Famous" now? (Referring to the guy at the end saying hi). If you're not careful they'll be putting your face on Canadian currency before long! ;-) Great video - keep them coming.
That one shot where you are looking down on to a big lake or something looks so familiar. It looks like a scene from a movie. And they were in Canada. I just can't remember the movie
Lol that fan at the end too bad you didn’t have a sprinter van or something imagine if you said something like,” come in come in! I’ll put on some tea!”
That is a ton of heat. I have a Promaster City that is convertible for camping. I've been trying various ways to heat, and have an old Wave 3. It's not vented, which is not ideal. The Wave 3 is 2 or 3 thousand BTU's. Unfortunately, a 5kw heater is around 15,000 BTU. You can be pretty sloppy and just ventilate, I know. I'd have to say your installation is a complete success. It's a sophisticated piece of kit of $200. Wild! Winter in Canada.
Wow the west is beautiful. I need to ascent a summit there one day. You would laugh at what is called a mountain around here. More like a hill when you look at this.
Don’t know if you know this or not. Biodiesel will plug your injector eventually. Your pump isn’t strong enough for an additional filter. You need to manually filter the diesel if it’s Bio diesel. Doing this also will help you separate more of the water that’s in the diesel.Using Diesel additives you must be very careful because they use kerosene. Too much kerosene we’ll burn too hot in the chamber, causing injector problems and might cause a fire. Insulating your fuel line will help you from not gelling up and also when water freezes the line. Thawing out the line, I found that a hair dryer works the best. Good luck,keep warm.
Bro you living the life but it’s not safe to hike by yourself.when you get the chance invest in a global cell phone,and always let someone know when and where you are climbing. Also, check in with that person, that way they will know when to send help. Good Luck and keep living your life to the fullest.
I guess you don't make a lot of money but you are content with your life. I wish people whose lives are destroyed by drug addiction could take inspiration in a life like yours, you are high on altitude and adventure not drugs. Best of luck, hope you have cell signal if you ever get in trouble.

"whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god".
Don't worry about the diesel fuel it's not explosive and burns really slowly if ignited.
great demonstration of the start up power. That is a great example of the headroom required in an electrical circuit, especially with motors and not "squeezing power" out of a circuit.
2:50 sounds like the hyper jets on your spaceship are starting up really well, good job on the tuning.

@@guyrumsey5023 Worked fine through March, but the trailer's parked for the duration of this stupid lockdown. Worked VERY well.
@Sandi , it said 8k, but pretty sure it's just 5k....in -25F temperatures, had to open the windows a crack to keep it from getting too warm at times.

Thanks for the snow trip . Im in Southern Arizona it got down to 58 last night , almost froze to death . Happy trails Foresty Forest .
That's not to me. Haha!
I love your attitude to life, God bless you brother.
it makes me happy to see you enjoying canada.
Thanks, really appreciate the detailed info on the diesel heater! Enjoy the mountains.
Thanks for sharing. Was interested in the diesel heater but knew you get around to explaining. Beautiful scenery! Be careful out there.
I was watching one of your older videos when you first got into van life and wow not only do you look happier you look healthier and your van is 👌
Hi fella hope all is well with you. Just been looking back at all your videos. Fantastic! Keep safe! Thanks.

I came to see the heater but I got to see the beautiful views. Amazing how one can get to those heights by oneself and not be scared.
one of the best devices i bought last year, easily in the top 3. i plan to order a replacement pump, glow plug and control head next week
Epic shots up in the mountains. Awesome.
Wow, that scenery is magnificent! I also like how you refer 2 a part of your van as "the garage area". 👍
Be good or be good @ it. ✌
Thanks for all the details about the diesel heater.
Peace.
It's like a miniature oil furnace for a house. Heating oil is the same thing except for a dye that is added.
Respect buddy , you are a good example of I dont give a F***k. I love your video's specially your narration big up
