- A windy wild camp in the woods with the Polish army lavvu poncho shelter. Hot tenting and testing out an army ammo box stove, made and gifted to me by John, Northeastbushcraft. DIY chimney and stove jack, first use and how I made them.
Link to John Northeastbushcraft's video, building the ammo box stove: • army ammo box stove
The frontier stove can be purchased for around £150 inc stove pipes and not £400 as previously thought.

Cod season is still on,get out by the sea and catch your dinner. Class video as usual, very inspiring.
Haha too funny with the lights on the tent. I wouldn’t mind spending a night camping with you. Make me laugh.
You might want to attach some "L" brackets to the sides of the stove so you could stake it into the ground. I think that would help with the stability. Also you could put a ring around the chimney pipe and attach some guy cables and peg them into the ground externally. A bit of bother for an overnight but if you were going to be there a few days it would be worth the peace of mind to have the stove secure. ATB Doug.
Thats a good idea will do that next time, the lavvu could have been staked out better as well. We learn from our mistakes, atb
Doesn't matter man! You are entertaining- and most of all you are getting out there!!
Good one pal your pal has done a really good job here is a name for his knife North East blades
Hi Gaz, that would be a good name, Chris reads the comments so maybe he'll consider it. ATB.
Great video my friend, hope you and your family have a good new year from your friend across the big pond in the united state.
Thanks John and a happy new year to you. Atb
Nice video - loved the Christmas Bollocks song :D
Thanks, I wanted to use the whole song but there is too much swearing, atb
Stove Jack...brilliant
Lovin the Lavvu shelter - errr bit windy Damian and big Johns stove works a treat - me and the missis have decided, next year we are delaying Christmas by two days - not a long time in the scheme of things - and everything is half price or less Ba Humbug - happy new year to ya ! - ATB
Thanks Frank, the best part of Christmas is seeing the back of it and I look forward to the new year and spring time. Atb to you too, Damian
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Damian. I really enjoyed that video. That was a great idea for using the stove. I plan to watch John's video as well. Wish you could do videos more often, but I know there is life beyond videos.
I will try to do more this year. I'm getting faster with video editing and only took me 4 days to edit this one. Its the time spent in front of the PC that puts me off doing more regular videos which is more of a hobby than a job. Happy new year to you too, atb. Damian.
I can see why you would be put off. I never realized how much time it takes to edit.
The funniest video I've ever watched on TH-cam was the one in which you and Davey camped near the airport looking for aliens with your tin foil hats. The spoon and "dish" were hilarious. Humor is always appreciated, but your camping is the real draw, and your videos are always enjoyable.
Hope you and your family have a fabulous 2018!
Its has been a very long time since i have watched one of your videos and really enjoyed watching this one.
I must admit the fairy lights did make me thinking of a light house seeing as you were up on high ground
Hope you have a nice time seeing the new year in
nice stove, maybe conjour up a bracket to stake down the chimney outside good video.
Don't have the center pole so Long making the tent high. shorter pole makes the tent squat and doesn't catch the wind so much and gives you more legroom. Cool vid though Happy New Year
Good vid damian finally a woodstove hot tent . Nice one John mate for building stove . Unlimited heat as long as you have wood that's the beauty and if you have fish to fish in an area , I believe you can thrive more than survive.
Thank you for the comment. Atb. Damian.
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
All the best from Herefordshire.
Thank you. Atb and a happy new year to you too. Damian.
I put eyelets every foot round the bottom that keeps it from flapping
Good video Damian. I agree with your thoughts on Christmas. I like the family togetherness time but the rest is just a commercial scam. The Christmas bollocks song was very fitting:)
The Frontier stove is around £150 which includes stove pipes.
All the best for the new year.
Sandy
Thanks Sandy, I can see now the frontier stove is less expensive than previous thought. I would put annotations in the video correcting the error but TH-cam have discontinued this so will add to the description, Atb for the new year.
Great video possibly worth trying 3 or 4 guylines for stability. love your stove I've just got an ammo tin recently to craft a stove. nice one health and peace for 2018 Subbed you
Great video as usual, I see you brought enough coffee and food for the camera crew as well ;)
Great video really enjoyed watching, with that wind im not surprised you couldn't sleep. That setup with the stove looks great think ill have a go at making one . All the best for 2018 looking forward to your next video mate Atb Garry.
Excellent video as usual, from a long time subscriber, looking forward to your adventures in 2018, Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank you, I hope to get out a lot more next year. Atb and a happy new year to you too. Damian.
Hope you had a great Christmas mate, and hope that you have a good new year. All the best to you.🖒
Thank you and ATB to you too. Damian.
Good video love Christmas lights your videos are a blast thanks, hahaha 😂!
Great location, wrong day of the year with the wind as it was. In the words of Del Trotter. "its blowing a bloody Typhoyd out there".Thats what i call an 'all you can eat fire wood', with the fallen oak tree. very handy that, i love them kinda spots.
One thing i do find curious, you must be the 57th wild camper ive seen on youtube that forgot his tent pegs, but remembered his axe, saw and knife. so he makes his own. Call me cynical if you like?
Good vid though, if i didn't enjoy, i wouldn't watch. every man and his dog on youtube seems to own a Polish lavu tent now.
i do quite fancy one, but i'm sure you lot are inadvertently pushing the price up.
I'm with you on the whole Christmas thing, only good thing is the time off work.
look fwd to the next vid.
Gary.
Hi Gary, the price of the shelter has shot up £10 in less than 2 years from military mart where I purchased it. I know thats still not expensive but shows you are right about their popularity pushing prices up. The next time I go camping I may forget my cutlery, that will give me the excuse to carve a spoon. Happy new year, atb. Damian.
Hello Damian
Thanks for your reply, i actually done a bit of filming for youtube today, me and a friend of mine are in the process of making our own channel. i done the classic school boy error of not filming enough of the right stuff, so had to film a bit of a sofa summary when i got home.
i'm discovering its hard to film yourself and try and sound interesting at the same time. ive looked back at what ive filmed. some bits i think, wasnt i good. other bits im wondering what i was on about at the time, its all a bit strange and new to me.
i do actually mention you in the summary, and the vid involves fallen trees. so theres a nice coincidence.
i will let you know as soon as it hits the airwaves as we used to say before this youtube thing happened.
at this point i expect your intrigued to see it.
ok, iv'e waffled enough, and we all know how annoying that can be.
Thanks again for your message.
Gary.
I'll have a look when you upload. It always feels strange when you
film for the first time but you soon develop your own style of doing
things. Be yourself without acting, thats how I try to be. ATB mate and
good luck.
Proper wind .. glad you were ok buddy .. like the lavvu and stove .. cheers Chris & Sam
I'm not into Christmas either. I feel the same way. It is more for the children.
You beauty
Great job with the hot tenting
Brilliant
I totally agree with you over christmas like..I have one question i am just starting out doing the odd youtube video's i only own one camera which is the go pro what would you recomend as a second camera you have to remember i dont work so am on a really tight wad budget . Think you should of chose a more sheltered spot as well but still loving you waffles lol..A.T.B Andy.....
Check out canvas tents UK mate I bought their Bushcraft stove and rate it higher than the frontier stove there's a cheaper version of it with reviews all over TH-cam but the difference in engineering is like chalk and cheese.The last piece of the flue that contains the spark arrestor also has three tie of points to anchor it with guy lines,all the best and bollocks man :-D :-D :-D love it
Thank you for the info, I will look at the website you suggested.
Cheers mate happy new year from the British Army Atb
New Subscriber in the US. Enjoying your vids. I learn and enjoy when I watch. And don't let commercialism get in the way of your enjoying the real meaning of Christmas. Why give them the power to make you a Scrooge? Oh wait, you didn't, I saw the lights and festive crown :-) Merry Christmas!
i got a Dutch army double poncho tent it is lower and no arm holes it is a 2 person tent and i can do that but it gotta be a person i would have to like a lot.
but the length is perfect.
Could you use a shorter center pole in your tent?
then you would have more room in the length and a bit less hight.
also i would make extendable legs to the side so it wil become more stable.
costs: nothing :))
Greetings and see you on the next one,, Kitty.
The Polish poncho tent in my opinion is a one person shelter with room for gear, it makes an excellent hot tent with room to hold a small stove and fuel. It will house 2 people who dont mind being close together but their back packs would need to be used as pillows or left outside
Lowering the shelter by shortening the central pole will give marginal extra width but one looses height, so no extra area is created by doing so
Thanks for sharing. Were you in the military? You have come by some good kit ☺
I've not been in the military just the army cadets, and scouts, thanks for watching..
Thanks for sharing Damian , sure was a breezy one for you. Always like to see you making a 'meal' no expense spared.
atvb t ..
Another cracking video Damian. Passing on some guidance I was given - I was warned about Carbon monoxide build up in the tent/tipi if the stove is not sealed and properly out before sleeping (if you planned on using it through the night). Looks like you had more than enough ventilation in the Lavvu :-), but a CO monitor is a good warning system. Bit of a fact - CO poisoning kills more people in the UK in a year than dead fall. Keep up the good work, and looking forward to the next 👍
Nice vid as per your norm . Hope your "Merry Christmas" was so and you have a great NYE . In final , intercourse the trolls , weak shits or just jealous !!! .................................... Gubs
Great video, my 11 year old is crying with laughter at the song!! Hope you and yours have a good one, keep them coming in 2018 atb pete
Loved the festive touches Damien and glad you kept the camera falling over in , you do make me chuckle mate ;) .
Nice to see you again , have a happy new year .
Great video, thank you for sharing, hello from New Jersey in the United States
Good Vid, me and a friend are just starting our channel... always watch yours coz the dead entertaining one way or another :)
Just a thought Damien, could you rig up some sort of wire guy lines to the chimney to steady it, might need to put some hooks or eyelets 3/4's of the way up chimney, then steak out wire line away from the tent. Hope you had a good Christmas, Happy New Year for 2018.
I run my own channel and I watch your videos while out making mine 😂 I’d love to do a camp with you! Can you make it happen? 😂
Another class video Damian love the lights on the teepee
Really enjoyed this and have subscribed. Happy New Year. Atb, rich.
Wow £20 for a lavvu if I’d known what I know now I’d bought maybe 2 I’m looking to getting one but they are to expensive now is their much size difference between the size 2 and the size 3 because the price difference is more affordable on the size 2 so that’s the one I will most probably purchase thanks for the great videos
Hey !! that was great !!! like your comments about hot tenting on a tight budget ! Im fucking skint but I can get hold of an Ammo box !!
Damian. A buddie burner your old favourite would have been good as a reserve for a hot drink. Or reserve cooker. Interesting project .Happy new year. Waldo
grub looked fabulous, considering the conditions, loved Xmas lights !
Enjoyed your video as per usual. Don't think that I would have felt so squeamish if you had kitted yourself out with a stout pair of gloves however!!
Odwrotnie:)Drogi przyjacielu,pałatki są wewnetrzna strona na zewnatrz.:X Świetny piecyk.
Great vid buddy love the stove well thought out
The sub titles are confusing to my friend, she's a pole, 😂😂🤔
Yay the yeti hunting wild camping joker is back...so much for fair weather camping huh..nobody can say this about him..
Thumbs up m8..
You could of made some long sticks from some hazel like you did your pegs pal but with another branch coming of at the top to hold the stove in place and for future trips make some out of metal maybe weld some pegging points on each corner of it would be a good set up once the stoves more secure
Thanks for the video ... you hook mi on to some ideers whit the ammobox stove that i have thought of
Good to see ya gettin out there, looked a bit drafty in the lavvu. Can you guy the chimney to stabilise it?
Great vid, greetings from Poland :-)
Great idea with the stove jack and fine looking stove from john .personally ime glad the xmas bollox is all over and only like the time off work that comes with it ..never owned or slept in a lavvu but seen them for sale at a few places windy ode camp there Damian ..nice one ..you know it makes sense..atb steve
Hi Steve, I only rate the lavvu for hot tenting as they are too heavy for back packing and need periodic waterproofing. I like to see the back of Xmas and new year and look forward to spring time and light nights with a bit of warmth. Thanks for watching, atb
thanks man, i've gone and bought one and its on it's from Poland. Quality channel mate
Great effort Damian.
I have 3 Lavvus in the hopes as the boys get older they will want to camp with dad.
The wind looks like Oklahoma in winter. Or spring, or summer, or fall...hmmm seems to be a pattern there.
Have you cooked with Dakota holes in the wind? I like them since its almost always windy. They aren't any use inside a shelter though. I dont have any answer for inside the lavvu unless maybe a lamp or lantern. Fire it up long enough to warm things and then shut it off.
All the best.
I might try a Dakota fire pit on the next woodland camp if its windy. I've seen people use them on TH-cam but have never tried one. I have a Colemans petrol lantern which gives off good heat and would be a good alternative to a stove if it wasn't too cold. Thanks for your comment, atb.
Love the vids mate your making me want to get out
Happy new year to you Damian... really enjoyed your vid... you should have your own tv series full of useful information - and you explain things so well..loved the cooking great stuff!!!! brilliant the fairy lights looks great... yes hoping 2018 is less windy its been a neetmare.. take care mate and PS just embrace the thumbs done - thats what i do :)
Thank you Julie and a happy new year to you too, atb
HI DAMIAN, nice vid, good food, not to keen on the accommodation at my age 67next, good job it was fine, bad in driving rain with that wind, did you sleep well ha. ha. lol. well very enjoyable, keep em coming, stay safe. atb, greyghost.
I didn't sleep well and was knackered by the next day. After a couple of nights in a warm bed on a soft mattress I was wanting to be back in the woods again. It's funny how that works lol.. thanks for commenting, atb
Awesome video and a cracking little stove 👍
Love the song! Very apt for the festival of greed.
I would love to have played more of the song which is very funny but contains swearing. Thanks for watching, atb.
Great video Damien enjoyed thanks
Arreet Geordie, I can't be too far away from you here in Whitley bay. Ingenious stove jack, especially if you're having to vent off fumes from galvanising. If you need a closer fit, I'm getting away with a length of fire blanket wrapped around the stove pipe. Looks like it was blowing a hoolie mate. Another top tip is to stake out the flue for more stability. All the best for 2018
Thanks for the advice, I'm going to modify the stove jack and make it
smaller by putting through the arm hole. Might be more stable, means I
can button up the rear and let less wind in. I will guy out the stove pipe next time, atb for
2018
Maybe using tarp clips halfway up the sides and guyed out might help with the wind. I like how you continue to waffle after saying you're going to stop waffling. :-) I enjoy your videos where you go out looking for Bigfoot. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
I will guy out the stove pipe next time. The shelter is supposed to be stable in hight winds so it was my fault not having it pegged out taught enough. I've only used it twice so still learning with this shelter. Happy new year to you too, atb. Damian.
Great camp damo all the best buddy
Heat proof the arm hole and yes Xmas sucks
when you try this again but more improved
I really enjoyed this video...your vids are very unique. I have missed you. Happy New Year to you and yours. Please keep posting . :)
Thank you. I don't upload that often even though I'm out a lot because the videos would look the same and I like to bring something different each time. Atb and a happy new year to you. Damian.
Great vid had me chuckling with those lights,ive almost same set up,i use the arm but i use a large dog food can cost 90p ,put 3 bolts in it and goes threw hole,ive not had a problem spent a whole day when first made in woods testing,canvas only slightly warm,just random idea if helps.
I will make one for the sleeve hole, might be more stable than the method I used. Thank you
Just from my experience I know , and you probably figured out by now that the spark arrester that you made , seriously reduces the air flow through your stove pipe .
With mesh that fine you are probably going to need a cylinder of that mesh close to 2 feet long to keep the flow good at the top of the pipe . ... just sayin .
I do like the fine mesh though . Makes things that much safer . Cheers
You are right, the mesh was too fine and clogged up with tree resin. Its a learning curve, trial and error, thanks for the comment, ATB
My thoughts are it's your channel and if the troll's don't like what you do then they shouldn't watch. I enjoy your videos and the banter. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, atb
You re a good bloke,always enjoy your vids.Glad to see Pharroh is a sub too!! Happy New Year!!
Thank you. Atb and a happy new year to you too. Damian.
Wanderer another great video!!! 👍😊👍
Cześć na początku muszę ci podpowiedzieć że w złym miejscu się rozbiłeś z tymi pałatkami lavvu na jakimś wzniesieniu pod jakimiś spróchniałymi konarami drzew ,wiatr mało co tego namiotu nie porwał .Ja też używam tych pałatek z piecykiem zrobiony własnoręcznie ze skrzynki metalowej po amunicji jet klimat i rewelacja PS.tak trzymaj film mi się podobał
Ten, kto wynalazł polskie lavvu, jest prawdziwym geniuszem, dziękuję za oglądanie.
Hi Damian, Great vid as usual. Here's wishing you and yours a happy and prosperous New Year.
Thank you Keith, atb to you also
you make another atempt
Really enjoy watchin the films damian. Gr8 stuff pal.
cheers and thanks for watching, atb
Like that stove a lot chap
Thank for video!! Very Good!! Happy New Year!! David.
Thank you. Atb and a happy new year to you too. Damian.
TAOutdoors put up a video about hot tenting in a lavvu two days ago and now yours. Pretty soon it will become a thing.
LOL.. Wiltshire man uploaded one up the other day as well. I was planning on making a hot tent video before them as its the right time of year. Great minds think a like and I'm sure loads of people will be uploading the same soon. Thanks for watching..
Great video mate. All the best in 2018.
Thank you. Atb and a happy new year to you too. Damian.
just found your channel brilliant a big thumbs up and subscribed...atb
Thanks for the sub, ATB
I must have missed the part in the video how did you manage to carry all that weight not referring to your body weight but your gear weight.
I made two trips and carried half the gear in the night before and concealed a short distance from my camp
Never feed trolls mate you'll never get rid of the fecker! Happy New year mate and keep em coming.
I don't get them much now since comments are automatically held. It makes me laugh when I click delete on their rants after reading the first line of something it took them some time to write and no one will ever get to see. Happy new year to you too, atb. Damian.
You know it makes sense to watch your brilliant vids Damian! Just make sure to keep 'em coming in 2018! Never mind the trolls, the only real and scary ones are found here in Norway. Godt nyttår!!
Great video my friend
I've got 2 of those shelters. I'm going to at some point make it into one shelter. Happy New Year .
Happy new year to you too, atb. Damian.
Hi darmian have u tried putting a larger pipe around the chimney pipe just where it comes into contected with ponch hope it helps
Might try that for the next stove jack I make as the one I had was too wide for the sleeve hole. Thank you
Good to see you out and about, friend. Thanks for the excellent video, and for dragging out the Lavvu-I'm thinking hard about getting one.
I hope you and yours have a great New Year.
Hiya Damian I enjoyed that vid, I've got a Hungarian lavvu and av found the best way for loads more space was ditching the alu pole and lashing and hoisting it above to a firm branch, if no trees a crafted tripod even works better. I must say I'm impressed with John's stove lyke. Was windy up there mind ah was surprised at how well the lavvu held up. Atb and hope 2018 is a good one for ya. Davie
Was thinking about sewing a loop in the top to hang off a tree but a tennis ball and clove hitch would be better. Thank you Davie. Atb and a happy new year to you too. Damian.
Fell Wanderer now that's a good idea about the Ball and Clove Hitch
Could you use some parra cord to try close the gap on the back end of the Lavvu ?
I could have closed the back of the Lavvu but was getting good airflow and not too cold. I didn't have a carbon monoxide alarm so was wary of fumes. Was the first time trying out the stove so learned a lot, thanks
LMFAO. FAF. MCAHNY
Great vid as per. Could hardly see ye in all the camo gear
😃 happy new year
Thank you and a happy new year to you too
its nice to seeyou again ----- support the out side chimney with wire and some para cord
Yes would be more stable as those shelters are supposed to be ok in strong winds. thanks, atb
watching from the states. Hope all is still well. Enjoying your adventure. Have a Lavvu myself, but I paid much more. Cheers.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you too, atb. Damian.
