    To anyone in the comments who tries using live fire as a heat source in a confined space (car, tent, small shack etc) please make sure you have a fresh air supply. Many winter fishermen have died using small propane heaters in cars. The fire burns away oxygen and the fishermen die while sleeping. You sir have done it right. Open air and a detector 👍

    Some random thoughts I had while watching this:
    - Thoughts on just using a 20lb propane tank? Cost to refill is ~$15 to $20. Those disposable ones are probably in that range for just a couple of them. Would save you $ in the long run and allow you to sleep through night better. Could rig up a holder outside the truck or just place on ground. Adapter cables exist to connect the bigger tank to your portable tank outlets. (you can also get adapters to refill the small portable tanks from the larger one as well)
    - Radiant heat on the floor of truck bed. Use PEX tubing, or other approach. Plenty of propane based on-demand water heaters are out there.
    -
    - Completely random thought. Any idea if you could somehow use Ceramic Gas Grill Briquettes to capture some of the heat? Those can hold temperature for a good amount of time and are non-toxic. Not exactly sure how to implement it, but ......

    • @rvaughan74
      @rvaughan74 2 роки тому +4

      It'd probably be easiest and safest to use a small tabletop BBQ with those Ceramic Briquettes inside as the thermal mass, rather than try and rig something up as he did with the Sterno and flower pot.
      On another note, the flower pot is a poor thermal mass choice because of how thin the walls are. However, I will admit that the Sterno cans are a better heat source than tea lights. Fuck, I hate all the scam videos of teapot heaters using tea lights. They're novelty lamps and nothing more.

    • @thatguyalex2835

    Finally camped our way across much of Minnesota last Summer. (From Montana) One amazing thing about Minnesota is that most of the areas we traveled looked the same...trees, trees, trees, and often, more trees. 🤣 Saw signs for lots of lakes, but seldom saw a lake due to the trees. Being used to Montana's Big Sky Country, Minnesota had a sort of "claustrophobic" vibe to it.

    You can keep your clothes for the morning in the bag with you though so they are not cold to put on in the morning.

    When using any type of heat that puts out carbon monoxide in a confined space, basically any type of portable heater made for camping or any thing that uses fuel, make sure you crack windows and always, always, have a carbon monoxide detector. They're portable and less then $50 bucks and will save your life, they have a loud alarm like a smoke detector that goes off if the oxygen level drops. So many people have suffocated and died in their sleep from carbon monoxide poisoning. I am so happy he uses one. Edit I wrote this before I saw the end of the video where he basically says the same things I did.☺

    I designed my own stealth van camper - but never built it. To heat it (for sleeping) I planned to use a standard outdoor grill propane tank that burns a small flame in a closed tube (air tight except at inlet and exhaust) over a tall air tight heat exchanger. At the bottom of tube is the burner with a small hole to vent in a small amount of indoor air and another hole to vent in some outside air. A small hole in the cabin brings in fresh air on the other side (cabin side) of the heat exchanger where it mixes with indoor air. The air is heated in the tube (chimney) and passes up through the chimney side of the heat exchanger, the much cooler exhaust comes out the roof through a recessed cap to keep out rain. The other side of the heat exchanger (cabin side) is thus heated by conduction and is in the bed area with a quiet small low speed fan and a guard grille.
    What made it efficient is the bed area is like what you see in the middle bunk in an aircraft carrier (about 6.5 feet long, 18 inches high, and 26 inches wide which is closed on 5 sides), but instead of a curtain, I have an insulated articulated (80 hinge) sliding door that slides out from behind the bunk at the feet and wraps around toward the head (like a roll top desk but sideways) - this closes in the bunk (with a 1ft square hole covered in fleece for air to pass through but still insulating). I have Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors around the cabin and in the bunk. If any detect warning or higher levels, the burner is shut off and an alarm sounds.
    I figured the tank could last for at least a week of 8 hour sleeping sessions. To heat the whole cabin, the flame and fan can be turned up. But the idea is not to hang out much in the van in the winter unless to sleep. I think I am going to post a slide show video of my design.

    I bought a Kia Sportage for some overlanding. Had absolutely bottom rung expectations. Only reason I actually bought it was because it's too cheap to pass up. Well it had no problem with a 13" snow storm here in Nebraska. Plus the rear seat lays flat with the cargo area. Unlike a lot of these things where the seats have a slight angle up. However my favorite part that my son discovered is that the front seats also fold completely flat. There's hard plastic on the back of the front seats so you can fold them down into tables. I'm just waiting on my new rack, batwing awning, and mattress.

    I did this 2 years. My recommendation is you buy one more sleeping bag and put one inside the other. Also actually zipping them up. Over top of your sleeping bags use several comfort and one blanket or maybe even a tarp to keep condensation from calling water from getting you wet. The more layers over you the better. I never had a heater or those burners.
