I have the exact blanket. I been using in since October and works great. I basically lay on top of it and cover myself with a second comforter.
Yupp that would work really well. Having it under you is much better than on top. That's what I did with my heating pad.
Heated mattress pad is better, the heat will rise around your body and get trapped under blankets, you set it on a 1 or 2 before crawling into bed will take of chill and your warm so might not need to kerp it on shut off until you needed agsin. I use to live in sn old house in an attic that had absolutely no heat excep a litle that came up throught the door way was always cold in Minnesota cold winters , window were very drafty, got a mattress pad after finding blankets did not work that well. Pad was was a life changer
I used a heated mattress pad living in ba k of my truck. Best thing I ever did! Helps the old bones, too!
Damn yeah Minnesota gets so freaking cold. Having it under you is definitely a better move though. If I have to use it again I'll be doing that for sure.
You need to cover your windows to help insulate the inside. I couldn’t sleep with windows not covered. I wouldn’t want wake up to “something” looking in.
Haha I’ve slowly gotten over that fear. I don’t need the insulation honestly. The diesel heater does such a good job and the whole van is very insulated so I stay nice and warm
I lived in my van for 6 years at Temps of -30. When it was that cold I Wore my coveralls to bed with a arctic sleeping bag and thermal hand warmers , I just dropped a hand warmer in the bottom of the sleeping bag and the heat rose and was good for -30
FYI after you put your heating blanket under your other covers place a flannel sheet over your last cover it traps the heat and makes for a toasty warm BLESSED sleep.😊❤
Yeah that’s what I was trying to do with the comforter but it was too warm haha
Laying on top of the heating blanket helps better in my opinion.. loving this video tho!! Stay safe!
Happy New year Riley !!! Can’t wait to see the next video !!! Me and my daughter can’t wait !!!
Happy new year man! Thank you for the support! So awesome you guys are enjoying the videos❤
Hey that looked like a fun time glad that you got to catch up with Buddys😊
Obsessed with your videos. Randomly found you
Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying them!
That van is bad a$$! Love it
Thank you!!
Good content . A new subscriber from across the pond 👍
a candle and a large metal coffee can can save you from freezing to death, lots of truckers keep them for emergencies if truck breaks down in cold weather
A pet heating pad only draws 12watts. No setting controls, takes a while to heat up, and it must have the weight of blanket (or pet LOL) for you to feel the heat. But it works.
Also true! They sell human versions of these too haha
New subscriber here! Love your van and bravery
Thank you so much!
If you put one of those silver survival blankets over your bedding, it would probably hold in even more heat and be able to run at a lower temp yet.
I have that same heated blanket and I only have it on 1 and most times I wake up in a sweat. Granted though I don’t sleep in below freezing temps, but it’s a super good heated blanket.
First time watching, nice drone shots
Thank you so much! glad you liked the video!
Thanks for this!! New Sub From New Zealand!
heck yeah thank you!
@@RileyMonthule most welcome mate loving your adventures!!
Same here! Good to go
This looks fun and I like your vibe. Super smart to hotfoot it out of there after the bear sighting. But get yourself proper window covers! (Or lots of people make them for themselves.)
Thank you! Yeah I gotta get window covers. The tint does a really good job except at night of course.
waaaau: those bears, excellent footage again. Best Wishes for 24!
Yeah that was crazy haha. Glad they were far away. Thank you you too!
Nice shots very pretty area
Love the he channel Riley. Enjoy the Vanagon adventures.
Thank you! ❤
I thought bears slept in winter
Nope! That’s a total myth. We were lied to in school😂
Also buy a couple of USB battery type type hand warmers toss those under a non heated blanket or even inside a heated blanket/sleeping bag combo to target specific colder areas like feet .
I've used those before they're great!
I have those with me at all times!! I also found a usb heated small blanket
The best way is to keep the "blanket" on top of the heated blanket and use a sheet or thin blanket between you and it.
I liked your van
Thanks!
I wonder if there is something like a 12V or battery operated "hot water bottle". Would be awsome and I think it would cover my needs.
You can get 12 volt blankets that use much less electricity.. The pads are also great.
O yeah the pad I tested was much more efficient and still plenty warm.
Yep and it’s more efficient because you don’t have to cover to AC which loses power just during conversion.
yuppppppppp@@toejamr1
Some 12 volt blanket don't cycle on off they just run a constant wattage 24/7. while many electric blankets cycle on off so 60w for 10 min Zero watts for 10 etc.. you'd only have the inverter waste power to be concerned about the total wattage consumed can be less than a 12vt version if it cycles on/off.
Why the ac instead of 12v blanket? Ty for the vid
Hi Riley! Love the van and the channel! Can you tell me where you got the lanyard you use for your keys? Looks cool!
Thank you so much! Got it off Amazon like five years ago haha. Bought one that was a little more expensive but looked high quality in the hopes it would last long and so far so good!
@@RileyMonthule Any chance you can search your order (quick and easy) and share the link?
@@FlyingPigSound there ya go Cool Neck Lanyard for Men & Women | Cute Key ID Badge & Wallet Holder a.co/d/a8eb27c
@@RileyMonthule TY! Safe travels! It’s better to travel well than to arrive…
those can get hot spots if it gets damaged being on the bottom. & dont wash it.
The drone sounded like the van when it took off 😂
I use a heating pad. I got them kind of extra long now I can't stand all that much heat it will dry you out. But a good heating pad seems to do the trick, and no I do not live in a car😊
Yeah having the heat under you instead of on top seems to be much better. Thank you for watching!
Heated blankets rock. I use one every night.
-32° here.
Jeez yeah they're super powerful when used correctly and much more efficient then heating all the air around you haha.
I will not and cannot use just a blanket as my water and drinks will freeze along with all my can food and who knows what else. I’ve got redundant sources of heat. Candles, propane, diesel, electric and wood stove in my tiny home trailer. I also only have one window and it’s covered so I can use my lights anywhere. I figured if I want a view I’ll go outside. I did do one window for air tho. I also put a liftable cover so it can be open in the rain and close while driving.
You have a new subscriber I love the content. And you’re cute so that’s a plus 😊
Thank you so much! Glad you like the videos!
Diesel heater not doing its thing? I'm torn between one like yours and just running a bigger propane setup.
I love my diesel heater. Hardly uses any power and sips fuel. They can just be a little more finicky than propane but much easier to refill
Wow, those bears!
So crazy! first time I've seen wild bears!
If you use this in your house. You will save a lot on your heating bill.
Yupppppp
Looks awesome but how do you plug it in ?
Plug what in?
Anythijg that draws heat takes a lot of power.. it will drain whatever system you have before the night is done..
Well I still had 20% on my small power station in the morning but yeah heating with electricity is very inefficient. That's why I love my diesel heater!
Ain’t no Walmarts in Tahoe homie, you in Carson or Reno? Somewhere down the summit?
yewww I was headed to Tahoe through Reno so I stopped on the way to pick up the blanket
Great video . Thats why we can't just depend on electric source. We need both electric and fuel.. government talking about landscaping got to start using electric equipment in California 😒🙄😅😅
Yeah anything electric like that takes a LOT of power. Not great for a small off grid system lol.
I had a heated blanket and I made the same mistake that you're making I was sitting on it apparently you're not supposed to do that because it crapped out on me Luckily was a cheap 1So I had to buy another 1 and you put it on top of you Do not sit on it or lay on it you'll break it or wires inside It says so In the Directions that Of course I didn't read.
ahhh ok good to know. This one won't be getting any crazy use anyways haha
All you need is about 3 or 4 layers of blankets.
That's also true. I've been throwing a 0 degree sleeping bag over my blanket now so I can run my heater on low and I stay real warm throughout the night.
I like your ride
Thanks man!
Smart to leave the bears ❤
Thats what I was thinking haha. Do NOT want to risk it.
How come you don't have quilted curtains for both privacy and retaining some heat?
Haven’t needed them really. You can’t see in the van at all unless I turn the lights on at night and even with my heater on it’s lowest setting I can go well into single digit temps. Probably need some in the future though
I finally go some from Online for my T3 Trakka (Australian Westfalia) with reflective on one side and grey felt on the other (JK campers brand for the T3) but I reckon black felt would be better for keeping it stealthy at night. I'd feel exposed without them. before I just had the blackout curtains. I don' t have a diesel heater but even then it would make it a lot more efficient for keeping it warm. Love the vids!
@@RileyMonthule
What battery size is that Anker?
500 wa!
So, $50 blanket. Now how much ($$) battery?
19 isn't that cold . Just get a cold temperature sleeping bag and a few extra blankets
Hi what tire size are you running?
75r 15’s
@@RileyMonthuleThanks 215 or 225?
215 i believe
@@arnovanaalst3789
Nice video
Thank you!!❤
Whats wrong with using the blanket, you still had 20 percent left. You can charge it the next day when you drive.
Yeww that’s why I said it would be great for a weekend camping trip. Would have to drive two hours to charge to battery all the way back up though.
@@RileyMonthule okay. I guess that's good if you're going on a road trip, but not if you're more stationary.
The blanket you linked is not the same one you were using
Yeah sunbeam doesn't sell on amazon so I found a similar one with good reviews. They're all kinda the same.
I have a 12v heat blanket, $20 at truck stop
Yeah a 12v smaller one would be great
I am in the UK, and your video popped up on my feed. 19 degrees is a warm day here as we use Celsius to measure temperature. The USA is the only large country that uses Fahrenheit now. I am not suggesting that you change from Fahrenheit but if you add -7.2c to your thumbnail, more people outside the USA may click on your video.
Yeah you're not wrong. I'll probably add it in the videos so people who use c know what I mean but the majority of my views come from the us right now so we'll see.
@@RileyMonthule Remember that the USA only accounts for 4% of the World's population, which means you are losing 96% of your potential audience by focusing on the USA only.

He doesn’t want new viewers, just please the 5k he has.
Is he tweeking?
Always
Most electric blankets, have a disclaimer that you should not sleep on top of them
Did the Walmart lady have a badge? 🥴😆
Wear a sweater, save diesel and reduxe polution.
😂😂 bruh it’s 19 degrees and I live in the van a sweater ain’t gonna do anything and the heater is incredibly efficient. I only use two gallons of diesel about every three days. Plus living in the van is better for the environment than 99% of lifestyles.

Why aren’t the bears in hibernation?..
Nice videos Bro , I’m doing videos too nd I loose my house I have to sleep in my car thank you 🙏
I think you survived
I dont know why anyone would have a heated blanket. Especially in a van or car. I habe one that plugs into a phone charger port in my car or it uses a tiny solar panel. Lol and i dont live in it.
You're never supposed to lay on top of an electric blanket furthermore you're never supposed to leave it on when you fall asleep many people have gone to bed with those blankets only to wake up in flames fire departments hate these
Im sorry, but why are you letting the walmart employee check the reciept on something you already purchased and they no longer have a right to check since you now own it???
That's what they do at Sam's Club. I didn't think Walmart does that now.
That’s what Walmart has always done in my experience. They check your receipt to make sure you aren’t stealing anything like Costco or sams club.
You needed to take a breath sometimes 😅
I never breathe
Like your vids. But dude you have to speak a bit slower. Hard to make out your dialogue.
Thank you! You can slow down the video a tad if you need to by clicking the small gear icon in the bottom right of the video!
Dude, you talk wayyyy too fast!!
Can turn on subtitles if it makes it easier, my apprentice has a similar attention span to an ant but I find using different color cellophane over his text helps him understand, maybe worth a try with your phone or computer! Hope this helps :)
You can slow down the video a tad if you need to. Thank you for watching!
Maybe you think too slow.
Don't buy sunbeam
Why not?
@RileyMonthule I had a sunbeam it over load the breaker and cheapest of all
@@jasontravis6098 ahh weird. This one worked great for me. Electric things do use a lot of power though, an old breaker might not be able to handle it.
Slow down when talking.
No thank you! Slow the video down if you have to!
Some people's disabilities stop them from keeping up, could turn on subtitles or if you are a bit slow hearing can can stop and replay sections, hope this helps!
@@undercoverpighunter you can also literally slow down the video when you click on the little gear icon on the bottom right.
I enjoy the content but can you please slow down on your talking? Its a lot
No sir I cannot! Glad you’re liking the videos though! TH-cam actually has a speed setting so you can slow the video down just a tad if you please.
@@RileyMonthule I’ll try that on the next one.
What are you talking about? He’s informing us
This person....lol..can't keep up with normal speech I guess..hahaha😂
He doesn’t need to slow the talking . It’s the way he naturally talks .
U overpaid bruh. 24.99 at costco all day long. Good luck
I don't have a Costco membership unfortunately but $50 is so much cheaper than what they used to be!
@@RileyMonthuleI don’t think the original commenter factored in the cost of a Costco membership either 😅😂
I'd pay more not to have to go to Costco. I bought a Sunbeam throw (with 4 settings) at Walmart for $30. Works great according to my dog who took over ownership.
Bro.....do you 'Even' carry Bear Mace?..... So...your a '20-something' adventurists....like the Billion OTHER adventurists....and i'm wondering if you even thought to carry any kind of Protection.... for all the super 'Rad' Videos of ....

You talk sooooo fast!!!
Haha nah
Slow down......you talk too FAST....
😂😂when?
@@RileyMonthule From start to end......😉
@@leilal8053😂 you can put the video on a little slower speed if that helps
Some people with disabilities benefit from turning on subtitles or you can rewind sections, listen to them over and over as many times as you like, at the bottom of the video is a red line you can slide backwards
Dude you need to slow down when you talk. That’s totally annoying. The only person I ever knew that talked like that before has bi polar
