NOTE FROM SLIM: I've received so many posts about Buddy and Wave Heaters I am filtering them out (I did respond to the first few). As mentioned in many videos, these are NOT suitable for long periods in sub-zero weather due to the amount of moisture they produce. I am only interested in DRY heat (non-electric). If curious, please see my review of a catalytic heater from a few years ago: th-cam.com/video/81HLSv5Af-w/w-d-xo.html Thanks! SP
Reconsider the Wave3. I don't notice any condensation in a 13' Scamp during Oregon winter camping. Just vent a window and you're all good. Not power draw, silent and lasts for a long time on low setting.
Hi. Slim . In regards to your heater / furnace situation I have a suggestion. Years ago I bought some used camper equipment out of a little motor home. The one thing I was most interested in was the heater . It is a catalytic heater , branded as " Thermx caravan mark 2 A . This is an old unit, I believe it was manufacturedin San Francisco. I us it to heat a tiny cabin I built to get away from the city . Like you , I constantly am thinking of alternative ways to use something. With just two long pegboard shelf brackets and an old bbq grill I can warm food and have a wood stove fan that keeps the air circulation going. One thing I want to do is put in a fresh air intake that will allow for air exchange. I have heated my little space last winter and I used about half of a 20lb. Propane tank. I am sure if you put your mind to it you could find a way to make something to work.
The Outsider would fill 5 gallon gas cans with heated water. He would wrap the cans so they would dissipate their heat slowly. Maybe use an electric solar panel to power a heating element to heat the water during the day. Maybe use a propane stove to heat the water as backup.
Another big budget National Geographic production. Oh, wait! Not NG but SP. Slim's stuff is getting more and more like a professionally produced presentation. All done by himself. Don't know how you do it Slim but, please keep them coming.
So many TH-cam channels now with BETTER quality productions and content than TV channel with teams of several dussins of people ever have been able to make. This is rendering traditional TV obsolete. You can see it when YOU want and choose the type of subjects that interest you. Haven't watched TV in many years!
Don't you know that Slim always travels with a production crew of at least 12 ppl in 3 mobile studio vans? You should see them when the whole entourage rides into a small town, Top Gear style. It's a sight to behold. =^.^=
I could watch those rippling lagoon waters all day. Good to see you back on the road, Slim. Thanks for your low-key way of sharing. It's good for the soul.
Beautiful...just beautiful. In a world of influencers and plastic people you're a breath of fresh air Slim. Love how you turn natures beauty that most just walk by without noticing into works of art. And your culinary tastes just add to the entertainment. Keep on camping my friend!
I love it when you use maps...it's great for orientation to know where in the world you are and it puts order and direction to the video. Thanks so much. Oh! And the cooked recipe! Looks delish...please continue sharing easy dishes with us! Thank you! :-)
Hi Slim: I am always happy to see you have posted a video. I know it will be very detailed, wonderfully narrated, and photographed with an incredible eye for beauty and the unusual. I’ll be very happy, as well, when you get to working on your cabin and all the cool things you will do to it. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Thank you! 🙏🏼❣️♥️❣️🙏🏼
Slim just rework the furnace you have. You can get really quite 12 volt fans that will do the job nicely... You can modify your furnace for under 100 dollars...
His blower sounds like it’s sick. I have one in my small trailer and it’s not as loud as his. It’s not exactly quiet either but his sounds like the fan is about to seize.
@@gbpg2016 I have the same one in my trailer and it drives me nuts. How hard is it to make a quiet variable speed blower that doesn't use so much 12v power? Someone needs to make a retro kit for all these crappy heaters that we all have.
I love fall camping when no one is around. The green of the ferns, the yellow of the tamarack, the red berries, white mushrooms, hypnotic waves, the rainbow, so beautifully captured. Thank you for bringing us with! The meal looked yummy too. Can't wait to what you'll try next.
Always calming, always informative, always beautifully photographed/edited. Love your videos. If you wanted to save on cleaning pans, draining some of the water from the pasta then adding the soup & sour cream to the noodles is easier. Could have mixed it all in the pot and eaten out of it too.
I've lived in NB my whole life, over 50 years. I love it here. Your videos are showing me my own province in a whole new light, through your eyes, with such quality, technical and presentation. Very, VERY, much appreciated. Thank-you! You have an awesome gift, and I'm so glad you are sharing it. Best regards !
Your eye for nature is magic. Then, with the addition of your soothing, poetic narrative and choice of music, the videos come to life. Your videos and those of through-hiker, Spielberg are so enjoyable. His latest views of the changing colors in the Washington Cascades and yours of maritime New Brunswick make me want to jump in the truck and start exploring. Thanks, so much. And ----------- stay warm this winter.
@@SarahGraymatter I just got back from a little 4 day trip and I am itching to get back out again. Plus I need more content for my channel so it's a good excuse for a trip lol
This was a great video and at wonderful time as it is inspiring me to get off my duff, hook the trailer up again, and go wondering. No heaters suggestions here, you have plenty, but another simple recipe from my childhood. We had what we called tuna and potato chips. It was simply a bag of potato chips crunched up, stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of tuna, and maybe a little water or milk if it’s too thick. My mother used to bake it in the oven with some extra chips sprinkled on top, but I’ve made it camping many times just on a stove top. Comfort food and very, very simple and quick.
One more comment on the tuna and potato chips. While it probably is high in sodium it does not really taste salty. I’m always surprised when I eat it that it doesn’t taste salty at all, and I tend to use regular salted potato chips, the cheapest you can find.
Most of your noise is from the fan and motor. Have you thought of replacing them with smaller quieter units, while leaving the rest of the system intact. We have a larger Geo pro camper, and the heater in it seems quieter and more efficient than what you have. It turns on and off without waking us at night.
Exceptional, beautiful, well dressed videography with willing wildlife participants. Your wit and writing is well spoken all tied up in a rainbow 🌈 I am a big fan SP and can’t wait for your south of the border adventures 😊
We live in New Hampshire and (used to before you know what) go to New Brunswick often so I'm interested in new places to visit. We've been to Fundy but I've never heard of this park. I hope after the winter you'll do more of these and include Nova Scotia and PEI. We can't wait to get back to Canada for vacation and discover new places. Thank you.
I could have watched the waves on the shallow water of the lagoon til I fell asleep. It would be a great sleep video Sure hope you find a heat solution soon.
Hey Slim I might have a solution for ya. I'm a old deer hunter from Ms. and you might not hunt so you may not have heard of this one. I've spent several cold nights in deer stands, and complained to father about freezing my butt off waiting for sunrise, he shared a old trick that was shared to him years ago. What we did was got a old coffee can (the big ones) save the plastic lid, anyway we'd get a roll of toilet (full roll) and rubbing alcohol. place roll in metal coffee can then fill it with alcohol and fire it up. It sure worked in the deer stands, odorless, smokeless and put off some heat. not sure if it would work in a enclosed RV ,might test it first. Anyway when finished simply place lid back on to extinguish. Cheep, easy, heat.
Hello from Nova Scotia. I love that you post on Monday mornings. Enjoy my morning coffee watching while getting my week started. Really enjoy your channel and videos.
Heater suggestion: Bulletshaker mini camping heater (Amazon). I use this on top of my cook stove and it's all the heat I need until freezing temps, then I use my wave3. Even in freezing temperatures, it warms my space quickly, and just sips the propane. Thanks Slim, for another great video!
Thanks again for a swell, restful and thoughtful video from Slim Potatohead Productions. I really appreciate the thought that goes into your content and8 stories behind what you find and see along the way. (Terrific camera work too) You're the kind of person I would like to meet up with, hang for a day or two and ecplore fawn & flora in our amazing North American territories. May God grant you a long and productive life. Dave from MI.
It’s Soo Great to watch & listen to you film & narrate the unique world of Slim. Thanks for all the beauty for this 75yr old retired lady to enjoy. I’m looking forward to your next visit & your travels to my country. May GOD continue to bless you with good health. I’ll Be anxiously waiting for more relaxing & informative Slim Vids!!
Hey Slim, Did you know you can cook your pasta in with your main meal, thereby saving water and another pot to wash? I recently learned this myself and it's been working out quite well for me. I cup water to 1 cup pasta is the general ratio. So after mushrooms are cooked, add the soup, water, pasta. Simmer 8-10m, then remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. It's impt to add the s. cream off the heat so it doesn't separate. No drain water to fill up your grey tank, no second pot to wash, and the starch in the pasta acts like a thickener for the sauce.
Slim is the best photographer and narrator on utube. He should be a professional. He should have many more subscribers than he has. Maybe we should all start sharing him with all our friends.
Sure is nice to see you on the road again ! You portray the world in a timeless wisdom fashion, capturing stunning gems throughout the natural world. Best of luck, safety in your "Southeastern travels". Wishing you success in you homestead renovation . Good to have a base camp.
Nice way to wake up with a fresh cup of coffee. Thanks Slim. It seems like someone would build a hot water pad that goes under the rug. It could be made to work just with a percolator effect and no fans or moving parts at all. An adjustable flame height would determine how much water is circulating. I’m sure it could be done, it just needs to be toyed with until right.
Good to see you Slim! I especially liked this video of the fall colors and the fungi! What’s better than viewing fungi than having it for a new recipe in a form of your first new recipe meal! Just remember don’t eat the stinkhorns! Lol🍄
One way to improve on the recipe is to deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup of water from the pasta, then add the sour cream and mushroom soup. Thin mushroom-sour cream-soup mixture as needed with more pasta water, then add pasta to skillet and stir. Bon appetite!
We're open! Head on down here to the states before the snow flies! Also a little tofu in that mushroom dish would have been lovely, so good to see you!
I have watched several of your videos Slim, and finally subscribed. You have a good eye for the little things in nature. I enjoy your humor, and keep rolling!
I wish we had spent a bit more time there this summer when we stayed at the park. We didn't do enough of the trails. Your video inspires me to go back. You always show such beauty in nature. Thanks Hermit Girl; I think I will try that one.
i've watched this video before. What i realize (i had watch other camping/camper/van travelers videos) is that you TELL A STORY in your video. That's what make your content so GOOD!! I've been lapsed with updates, but the great thing is it allows me to do binge watching. As always keep up the great work!!
SLIM POTATO HEAD : MON. 11/08/21 6:46 AM CST. USA 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🇨🇦 🍁... BEAUTIFUL FALL & NATURE FILMING... WHICH IS A REPEAT SEVERAL MORE TIMES WATCHING THIS VIDEO...

CABIN ON WHEELS & OF COURSE USING A LAMP W/ A INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB ( 3- WAY ) YOU KNOW THE ONES BEFORE LED BULBS WILL CERTAINLY WARM UP A SMALL SPACE... I LIKE TO CHANGE LIGHT BULBS OUT ACCORDING TO THE SEASON = LED FOR HOT/WARMER MONTHS... &... INCANDESCINT FOR COLD/ COOLER MONTHS WHICH WORKS OUT WELL WHEN YOU WANT TO SAVE $$$.$$ ON AC/ HEATING BILLS... ALSO A 3 - 5 SPEED CEILING / CLIP ON FAN WILL BRING DOWN THE HEAT THAT RISES TO THE CEILING... OF COURSE YOU COULD GET A FURRY COMPANION TO WARM UP YOU &THE CABIN SPACE... HEE... HEEE... GOD BLESS & INTO THE ZEN... 🕉 ☯️ ☮
Absolutely! Canoes paddle so much better than kayaks in my opinion. I have a red We.no.nah that I would be honored to take Slim in one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes!
I've been watching your cabin flip videos and missing your camping adventures. This somehow slipped by me and I found it Christmas evening. A true gift to accompany my coffee. Warm Season's Greetings to you and yours. Here's to 2022 adventures.
Truma and Alde offer some quiet options, maybe pricey and require some involved installation, but once done probably awesome. Not sure of the efficiency of either product line, but the sacrifice of a few dollars for peace and quiet would probably be worth it. Have you looked into retrofitting your original heater with a tangential fan? They are a lot quieter and occasionally available on the surplus market in various sizes and voltages. I like your frying pan handle mod, maybe take that to the Shark Tank, very handy! Thanks for showing us some more of the east coast Slim!
consider gutting factory furnace, replace that fan with computer fan. Make a Crisco candle-heater and set in furnace housing. You will have QUIET circulated low heat. Use cook stove to cut the chill while Crisco is getting duckwork warmed remember to use oven mitts to handle candle-heater as it will be HOT when you go to extinguish it. It works for me. Later,Gary
Good Morning and thanks for the visit to the park. I meant to write to you regards the previous video and recipes. I use a Trangia system for cooking outside of my Prolite Mini and find the recipes and process of Chef Corso on TH-cam really helpful. Some his recipes are labeled truck stop friendly (for groceries). My propane heater isn’t so noisy so perhaps the suggestion to service the fan is a good one, though perhaps you have already done so. Keep on keeping on!
I vote no to the cilantro, yes to parsley, thyme, or chives overtop. Cilantro is a good flavour for curry, chilli, etc. Not so much for savoury dishes like stroganoff. But you were bang on for adding a fresh herb! Looked delicious!
As a suggestion you might try modifying your pasta dish by adding cooked green peas (the frozen type) and using ranch dressing as a sauce (warmed in the same pot with the drained pasta). I cook a similar dish often, usually adding more fresh veggies. Glad you are back making videos.
We love that park also. If you follow the coast, there is a beautiful park on it. It’s an Irving park. It’s called The Dune de Bouctouche. We are from Bouctouche. That route is beautiful and inexpensive.
Haha 😆 😂 I’ve used old lids for projects before too! Great repurposing!!! Yeah I hate the forced air heaters in campers. Good luck with your search for the heater for you. Do the Mr Heaters put off too much humidity for you? Possibly have an electrician rig up the heater to have a quieter fan with variable speeds? Just a thought.
One of my favorite go-to recipes used to be lentil pilaf. The base is 2/3 cup dry brown lentils, 1 cup long-grain rice. Lentils and rice cook about the same rate/hydration so I think I just double the dry volume to ~3 cup water or broth. Bring it to boil, drop temp to simmer ~20-30 min, the usual rice prep. You can jazz it up with broth/bouillon, spices and fried veg to taste. Fried onions usually goes well with it.
We have a 1991 23’ Aero Cruiser Class A and jettisoned our furnace and replaced it with a silent no power Camco Olympian RV Wave-3 LP Gas Catalytic Safety Heater, Adjustable 1600 to 3000 BTU, Warms 130 Square Feet of Space, Portable and its wall Mounted. We’ve used it 3 years and works well in our smaller unit for temps down into low 40’s (and doing all other insulation tricks for RVs). Silent, adjustable, highly efficient and very little maintenance required. Cheers…
You have a great eye for composing your camera shots. Even the twisted weeds on the beach look interesting the way you capture them. Just a peaceful scene that is a sure cure for the stress if city life. Thanks Slim! I subscribed for more adventures!
Hi Slim. I had an old Apache Popup that had a Propane Gravity Furnace. It burned outside air and direct vented outside and used no electricity. This is a standing pilot furnace with a 12K BTU burner. It had a thermostat but it had a "night mode" option. After I heated up the pop-up I put the furnace on night mode and it would run a big pilot that would put the furnace in simmer mode which ran all night. It provided just enough heat to keep it comfortable all night. It used very little propane. Not sure if they make them anymore but you might be able to find a used one in the RV bone yards.
Holy crap, that has to be the noisiest camper furnace I ever heard. I never bothered to see which make & model of propane furnace I had in my camper but it was quiet & efficient. Maybe you should keep your eye out for someone who is parting out an RV or you can find a boneyard for boats & RV's. There has to be a marine cabin heater that will work for you. Not everyone knows that marine products are over-engineered & designed for safety & efficiency, and can be used in a camper or RV as well as a boat.
My wife and I enjoyed Kouchibouguac in June many years ago. I remember the water was a little cold on the beach. We were coming back from the Gaspe. Next year maybe you can spend some time in the Gaspe. Your videos are looking better with each one produced.

Sure is nice to see you on the road again ! You portray the world in a timeless wisdom fashion, capturing stunning gems throughout the natural world. Best of luck, safety in your "Southeastern travels". Wishing you success in you homestead renovation . Good to have a base camp.
Nice way to wake up with a fresh cup of coffee. Thanks Slim. It seems like someone would build a hot water pad that goes under the rug. It could be made to work just with a percolator effect and no fans or moving parts at all. An adjustable flame height would determine how much water is circulating. I’m sure it could be done, it just needs to be toyed with until right.
.....hot water pads like hospitals use as mattress pads to keep (or regenerate) bodies to warm again...
What abt a heated pet mat they use in barns?
Go for it
Lovely shots of the environment and the wildlife! You cooked actual food! It looked marvelous; we all thank Hermitgirl Wanders. Good job!
Great imagery in both photography and prose.
Living the dream, Slim. Thanx 👍👍
Good to see you Slim! I especially liked this video of the fall colors and the fungi! What’s better than viewing fungi than having it for a new recipe in a form of your first new recipe meal! Just remember don’t eat the stinkhorns! Lol🍄
Good to see you exploring Eastern Canada 🇨🇦. Enjoy your winter.
Thank you taking me on this beautiful ride. ❤️🙂👍
One way to improve on the recipe is to deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup of water from the pasta, then add the sour cream and mushroom soup. Thin mushroom-sour cream-soup mixture as needed with more pasta water, then add pasta to skillet and stir. Bon appetite!
We're open! Head on down here to the states before the snow flies! Also a little tofu in that mushroom dish would have been lovely, so good to see you!
Please make some more of these recipes. I love seeing this as much as your nature walks.
I have watched several of your videos Slim, and finally subscribed. You have a good eye for the little things in nature. I enjoy your humor, and keep rolling!
Thanks for all the beauty and the laughs. 😄👍👍👍❤☕🙏
Hello Slim! You’ve taken us on another great adventure and I thank you! Angeline the Baker was the perfect music for the latter part of this video.
I wish we had spent a bit more time there this summer when we stayed at the park. We didn't do enough of the trails. Your video inspires me to go back. You always show such beauty in nature. Thanks Hermit Girl; I think I will try that one.
As always ... thanks for the views ... I love the ocean. Namaste Jay
…for the first time I wanted to eat what Slim cooked! 😂
I had the same thought...
i've watched this video before. What i realize (i had watch other camping/camper/van travelers videos) is that you TELL A STORY in your video. That's what make your content so GOOD!! I've been lapsed with updates, but the great thing is it allows me to do binge watching. As always keep up the great work!!
SLIM POTATO HEAD : MON. 11/08/21 6:46 AM CST. USA 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🇨🇦 🍁... BEAUTIFUL FALL & NATURE FILMING... WHICH IS A REPEAT SEVERAL MORE TIMES WATCHING THIS VIDEO... LOVE YOU SHOWING THE DETAILED MAPS OF YOUR STAYS & HIKES... SEEMED VERY NICE & QUIET DURING OFF SEASON CAMPING... NICE TO HAVE A DINNING TABLE CONVERSION TO BED OR COUCH & THE VARIETY IN ROOM CHANGE MAKES IT SEEM MORE SPACIOUS EVEN THOUGH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS THE SAME... SOFT WOOL SOCKS/ COZY SLIPPERS/ LONG JOHNS ( LONG UNDER WEAR )/SWEATS/ COZY SLEEPING BAG / NON-SLIP CARPETS/ HOT DRINKS : COFFEE/ TEA/ CHOCOLATE/ TODDY SHOULD KEEP YOU WARM ENOUGH TRAVELING TO THE USA EAST COAST & FARTHER SOUTH... JARRED SCENTED/ UNSCENTED CANDLES VELCOED DOWN WILL ALSO WARM UP YOUR SM. CABIN ON WHEELS & OF COURSE USING A LAMP W/ A INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB ( 3- WAY ) YOU KNOW THE ONES BEFORE LED BULBS WILL CERTAINLY WARM UP A SMALL SPACE... I LIKE TO CHANGE LIGHT BULBS OUT ACCORDING TO THE SEASON = LED FOR HOT/WARMER MONTHS... &... INCANDESCINT FOR COLD/ COOLER MONTHS WHICH WORKS OUT WELL WHEN YOU WANT TO SAVE $$$.$$ ON AC/ HEATING BILLS... ALSO A 3 - 5 SPEED CEILING / CLIP ON FAN WILL BRING DOWN THE HEAT THAT RISES TO THE CEILING... OF COURSE YOU COULD GET A FURRY COMPANION TO WARM UP YOU &THE CABIN SPACE... HEE... HEEE... GOD BLESS & INTO THE ZEN... 🕉 ☯️ ☮
I think it's suspicious that he has two beds now Lol! Love the beige cushions
Your video reminds me of the great Canadian film maker Bill Mason!
Thank you so much Slim for causing those memories to return.
We should find him a red canoe
Absolutely! Canoes paddle so much better than kayaks in my opinion. I have a red We.no.nah that I would be honored to take Slim in one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes!
Welcome back Slim!
I've been watching your cabin flip videos and missing your camping adventures. This somehow slipped by me and I found it Christmas evening. A true gift to accompany my coffee. Warm Season's Greetings to you and yours. Here's to 2022 adventures.
I like seeing the viewer suggested recipes cooked-up by you!
Loved the music and the beach. I know you don't eat meat but tuna in that meal would be devine 👍👌
Truma and Alde offer some quiet options, maybe pricey and require some involved installation, but once done probably awesome. Not sure of the efficiency of either product line, but the sacrifice of a few dollars for peace and quiet would probably be worth it.
Have you looked into retrofitting your original heater with a tangential fan? They are a lot quieter and occasionally available on the surplus market in various sizes and voltages.
I like your frying pan handle mod, maybe take that to the Shark Tank, very handy!
Thanks for showing us some more of the east coast Slim!
consider gutting factory furnace, replace that fan with computer fan. Make a Crisco candle-heater and set in furnace housing. You will have QUIET circulated low heat. Use cook stove to cut the chill while Crisco is getting duckwork warmed remember to use oven mitts to handle candle-heater as it will be HOT when you go to extinguish it. It works for me. Later,Gary
Good Morning and thanks for the visit to the park. I meant to write to you regards the previous video and recipes. I use a Trangia system for cooking outside of my Prolite Mini and find the recipes and process of Chef Corso on TH-cam really helpful. Some his recipes are labeled truck stop friendly (for groceries). My propane heater isn’t so noisy so perhaps the suggestion to service the fan is a good one, though perhaps you have already done so. Keep on keeping on!
That looked delicious! Can’t wait for the next recipe!
Olympian Heater comes in 3 sizes and has all positive reviews 👍 all the best ❄️🤸
Not from me. Too much moisture produced. SP
Adds so much moisture that mold and wet bedding are a real issue.
That's interesting I never heard that, I wonder why all the reviews never mention that?
Probably because they are not using them for long periods of extreme cold. Occasional use to remove the chill is fine. Thanks! SP
I vote no to the cilantro, yes to parsley, thyme, or chives overtop. Cilantro is a good flavour for curry, chilli, etc. Not so much for savoury dishes like stroganoff. But you were bang on for adding a fresh herb! Looked delicious!
Kouchibouguac is what you do to make a baby laugh and smile! ;-) I'm glad you are coming to the USA. I may go to Canada again some day.
From Australia, thank you for the lovely tours of your country.
As a suggestion you might try modifying your pasta dish by adding cooked green peas (the frozen type) and using ranch dressing as a sauce (warmed in the same pot with the drained pasta). I cook a similar dish often, usually adding more fresh veggies. Glad you are back making videos.
Wow, that was a great trip. And the recipe looked good too. As always “Enjoy The Adventure.”
That dish looks yummy, will try. Perhaps saute some onions with the mushrooms.....
Just an idea for heat. Propane on demand water heater with a circulation pump to a radiator with a fan. Use it for heat only with and anti freeze.
We love that park also. If you follow the coast, there is a beautiful park on it. It’s an Irving park. It’s called The Dune de Bouctouche. We are from Bouctouche. That route is beautiful and inexpensive.
Cool! I live just 15 minutes from the park! Never thought I'd end up seeing you camp around home.
Haha 😆 😂 I’ve used old lids for projects before too! Great repurposing!!!
Yeah I hate the forced air heaters in campers. Good luck with your search for the heater for you. Do the Mr Heaters put off too much humidity for you?
Possibly have an electrician rig up the heater to have a quieter fan with variable speeds? Just a thought.
One of my favorite go-to recipes used to be lentil pilaf. The base is 2/3 cup dry brown lentils, 1 cup long-grain rice. Lentils and rice cook about the same rate/hydration so I think I just double the dry volume to ~3 cup water or broth. Bring it to boil, drop temp to simmer ~20-30 min, the usual rice prep. You can jazz it up with broth/bouillon, spices and fried veg to taste. Fried onions usually goes well with it.
Sounds delicious. Thanks hotlavatube! SP
We have a 1991 23’ Aero Cruiser Class A and jettisoned our furnace and replaced it with a silent no power Camco Olympian RV Wave-3 LP Gas Catalytic Safety Heater, Adjustable 1600 to 3000 BTU, Warms 130 Square Feet of Space, Portable and its wall Mounted. We’ve used it 3 years and works well in our smaller unit for temps down into low 40’s (and doing all other insulation tricks for RVs). Silent, adjustable, highly efficient and very little maintenance required. Cheers…
Looks like I need to pin my note. Not suitable for extreme cold. SP
You have a great eye for composing your camera shots. Even the twisted weeds on the beach look interesting the way you capture them. Just a peaceful scene that is a sure cure for the stress if city life. Thanks Slim!
I subscribed for more adventures!
Hi Slim. I had an old Apache Popup that had a Propane Gravity Furnace. It burned outside air and direct vented outside and used no electricity. This is a standing pilot furnace with a 12K BTU burner. It had a thermostat but it had a "night mode" option. After I heated up the pop-up I put the furnace on night mode and it would run a big pilot that would put the furnace in simmer mode which ran all night. It provided just enough heat to keep it comfortable all night. It used very little propane. Not sure if they make them anymore but you might be able to find a used one in the RV bone yards.
Holy crap, that has to be the noisiest camper furnace I ever heard. I never bothered to see which make & model of propane furnace I had in my camper but it was quiet & efficient. Maybe you should keep your eye out for someone who is parting out an RV or you can find a boneyard for boats & RV's. There has to be a marine cabin heater that will work for you. Not everyone knows that marine products are over-engineered & designed for safety & efficiency, and can be used in a camper or RV as well as a boat.
I suspect Slim has worn out his furnace's bearings. I'd bet a new dometic furnace would be way quieter and much more efficient.
Sacrificing your finger was extremely funny. I enjoy your videos.
Interesting and beautifully produced as usual. Slim, your videos are the best!
Beautiful wildlife shots. Always enjoy them.
My wife and I enjoyed Kouchibouguac in June many years ago. I remember the water was a little cold on the beach. We were coming back from the Gaspe. Next year maybe you can spend some time in the Gaspe. Your videos are looking better with each one produced.
Thanks Slim! Great photography, maps, and information. Thank you.
Your skills continue to improve and impress. Loved that bit with your finger and the plant. Good luck in your travels.
From south Africa good ol slim film what got me hooked long time back THANKS
Another beautiful video! Thank you Slim.
Jim
It would be fun if you could spend the night at Oak Island and take a tour of the dig sight. ( in warmer weather)
