I would recommend using a Mr. Buddy propane heater. They make a smaller one that mounts on top of the 1lb propane tank. Has tip over and low oxygen safeties to shut it down in case of an emergency. Used them for years.
Out of all the videos I have watched for winter camping you are the only one who cleaned your windows off. Thank you. I know about all States but if you get stopped by police where I live and your windows and all are not cleaned off you will get a fine. Chloe your wife and doggie are just beautiful. Congratulations. God’s blessings
Thank you for pointing out the shortcomings of our products. We have also noticed this problem and have corrected it. The recent snowstorm in the United States has affected everyone's lives. I hope our products can help. We have more types of air heaters. If any of the audience wants to try it. We are willing to offer discounts. If you have the same problem, we will provide good after-sales service.👍
You so lucky Shinn, that snow was pretty deep I guess you didn’t under estimate the shadow cause that truck plowed through that soft snow no problem. Shame your heating system didn’t work. But backup are always good. Baby Chloe is growing so nicely she is becoming aware of things all around her. I saw how she looked at the snow couldn’t take her eyes off of it. Katie is doing a great job as a first time mommy. Congratulations on your anniversary . Liked the music you used especially the blues piece. See y’all soon ❤️🌹✌🏽
Thanks Theresa! Shadow constantly proves to me how capable it is 👍. It’s always awe inspiring to see Chloe gradually growing and developing, I feel truly blessed for her and Katie (and Bernie). Thank you for your kind words, I always appreciate it 🙌
Loved this! I was hoping you'd build a staircase out of snow, would've kept you good and warm for a couple of hours. :-) Bernie was SO happy to see you, and Cloe is simply adorable. My best to the whole family, hopefully I'll be back on the road soon and we can hit some snow again!
Haha I don’t think I had it in me after the heater ordeal to even attempt shoveling that much snow. Keep me posted on the vehicle status! Definitely gotta plan a trip soon 👍
I do 50% kerosene in my diesel heater, freezes at -40F. You can't do 100% kerosene in a diesel heater cause it banks on using diesel to lubricate the pump. Currently -30 windchill here in Wisconsin today and zero gelling
Definitely a need for an adventure van especially if you plan on bringing family into the Great Snowy Outdoors. I recommend a dually Box Van on a F450 diesel! Beautiful baby don't listen to other parents as time flys by so fast many will try to relive all their missed moments. ....I have a 33yr. old that won't talk to me and a 5-9 180lb 13yr. old that only communicates in emojis. Homesteading is the way to go with plenty of content crypto sweat equity and you will have a sustainable ranch in no time! Thank you for taking us on your journey!
Pecan Porter? As a connoisseur to all things Porter that's one I haven't tried. What a beautiful baby Edward! Congrats and a Happy Anniversary to you and Katie.
Hi Edward, I have a VW Amarok v6 diesel. From the factory a auxilary/park heater (webasto diesel) under the hood. they also have gasoline heaters. Back window little down and a board with a hole in it in between. Hose to the tent. Simple fast setup. You can also insulate the car windows. Heat up the cab and the tent. Also you can pre heat your engine. Best regards from the Nederlands, Europe.
I’ve been winter camping for a few years now and I’m happy I’m building a micro camper. I may not be able to go 100% of the way in, but 85% is great when you have a heater, AC and insulation to keep you going. I hope to start building my cabin and this is a nice way to park and live while building. Pre-built is my dream, but I’ll live with a hunters camp for now until we see what happens with the housing market early next year... not a good time to switch unless you move laterally. Keep up the good content and stay safe! Hope to have some vids as my projects progress!
@@KrokemOutdoors I take it back! My wife wants new floors and finished basement... I’m building this instead... foxwoodmerchants.com/products/toyota-4runner-bed-platform-5th-gen
Such a beautiful family. Chloe is so dang cute. Brother, I absolutely love how you put Katie on a pedestal. You treat her like the Queen she is. Much respect my brother. Good advice e on the investing and what not. Live for today plan for tomorrow.
Congrats on your anniversary, designing and planning of your new home and baby Chloe. She is so adorable! Your videos are like a television series, just cant wait to see the next episode. Your snow videos are tops too!
Edward I recently came across your channel while checking overlanding & Tundra videos. I love the positive vibe you bring, it's inspiring. Just recently got me a 2016 Tundra and plan on hitting the road and getting into some wilderness. Also, Bernie is a boss.
@@KrokemOutdoors look into it, get the material they're planning to use . Let me know if you got any ? true.soldiers1@hotmail.com before I started my own company i worked for a high end company in rhode island insulation insulating the mansions and other multi million dollar houses .

Bro put that heater in the truck bed on a slider and run a power line from your tent. This gets your jackery out of the cold and also protects the heater too. Glad you got out in the elements testing gear. 👊🤙🏽. Diesel heaters are awesome just needs a little tweaking.
The socket you have the diesel heater is only up to 10 amps you need to purchase a 110v to 12v converter that goes up to 15 amps...i just did mine and works great. hope this helps someone.
A couple tips to increase the diesel heater efficiency when you get it working or a new one. Add a return duct from the tent to the cold air intake side of the heater and pickup an insulated duct. I was shocked at how much temperature drop I had from the heater to the tent, ~6ft run, with a non-insulated duct and 0F temps.
Awesome trip... Great video. Forgot your ladder, Rookie move. 😆😅🤣 The heater needs more testing at the house. You and I see a winter storm and think... I need to get out in that. I went backpacking in a couple of winter storms in the Mt. Baldy area recently. Katie and Chloe are adorable... and of course Bernie playing in the snow. Thank you for sharing. Take care Edward.
You might want to switch out the controller to the blue LCD with red remote, that way you are not depending on the remote to connect. Also add an in-line fuel filter if you can, it will be tight but it will fit. I have the same size box design, mine works fine.
I'lll have to do some research to swap out the control system. Just didn't expect this new model to be such a headache . Thanks for the recommendation!
Hey! I gotta know. How is camping in the rooftop with the baby? Iv always been itching to getting into the rooftop tents, but I just had my first son and now I'm wondering how it'll effect everything? I have a Ford Excursion (Large SUV) and want to get a nice tent. Any tips or pointers for camping with a baby?? Thank you! 😁
Maybe a fuel issue with the heater? I was having problems a few weeks ago with the fuel gelling and clogging the pump. Pickup a anti gel fuel additive.
Ranch Corn Nuts are nice, but everyone I know calls me disgusting for liking them. Glad i'm not the only one. Appreciate your enjoyment of spicy snacks.
That tittle bugger is looking super cute man. It only gets more fun from here as she gets more alert and independent. Cherish it brother. Congrats on the place. Now you two have to fill whatever extra rooms you have in that new house ;)
Saw you on Primal Outdoors and started watchin. Liking your videos. I actually think i passed you today 2/21 outside Butte Falls. Don't think I'm gonna get one of those diesel heaters. Stick with mr. Buddy.. keep up the videos. Redbeard
I’m bummed your diesel heater didn’t work out. We just bought one/will be building the box and what not this week. Having the heater not work when needed is definitely a fear of ours! Another guy we follow suggested the Propex HS2211. Unfortunately it shows to be out of stock currently. If you can get one, it should be fool proof! Maybe look into one? Haha as always, thank you for the content! We especially love the winter/extreme camping trips! Happy Anniversary to you and Katie!
Just wondering if diesel heater had a kink in the fuel line. Mine came new with a kink in the line. Plus you need a fuel filter. And you should prime the fuel all the way up to the pump.
Thanks Tim. I am gonna try a few more rounds of the startup along with troubleshooting with the manufacturers guidance. If they don't help much, then I may have to look for an alternative
The diesel heater rattles because it is filling oil. You put the heater at the lowest position. When the rattle sound is finished, it means the oil filling is over and the heater starts to work. Don’t worry. Once you run successfully for the first time, everything will be very beautiful. , Need a little patience.
Great vid Edward, thank you for keeping it real per say. I feel some content creators only show the luxury’s of camping and never the fails. Looking forward to the next one.
That was quite an adventure. You have a beautiful family. Chloe is adorable. Shame the Chinese heater didn't work for you. I had to use Mr. Buddy heater in the house this weekend due to a power outage and the temps in the house dropped to low 40's and was disappointed that the 1 pound butane lasted only 3 1/2 hours on low. Fortunately I had a package of four bottles. Sounds like the financial decisions you made came through, so, congratulations and good luck with your new home investment.
Thanks Alexander! Those small tanks really don't last a while; I used to use them on the mr heater in the bigger tents, and got tired of worrying about when they would run out. I swapped it out for the 20 lb tanks and they run forever it feels like. Glad to hear you had extras!
How cold was it out? I had a similar issue with mine a few weeks ago when it was 7 out. The diesel was jelling up in the lines because it was so cold. I forget to put a anti gel additive in my tank when filling it up 🤦🏼♂️.
I do 50% kerosene in my diesel heater, freezes at -40F. You can't do 100% kerosene in a diesel heater cause it banks on using diesel to lubricate the pump. Currently -30 windchill here in Wisconsin today and zero gelling
Word of advice, the diesel heater may have failed to start as a result of the fuel being to cold you may wanna consider finding a way to store your fuel in a warm area safely and that will help with ignition and not bogging down the fuel pump.
From what I understand, the diesel up here doesn’t gel up in temps above 20 degrees. I checked the tank too, and the liquid seems pretty fluid. I’ll still try testing it in warmer climate just in case though
Bro, new subscriber here, I'm amazed how decent you are specially a dad and a husband. It's good to find a wife that supports you. Congrats brother! More on crypto next time please. Thanks take good care.
Troubleshoot the heater. is the fuel line/pump clogged? Forget the remote, use the panel to test. Then put new batteries in the remote. I used my same heater last winter for 3 months straight in michigan. Like on, never shut it off. then I just turned it on a few weeks ago and it fired up like a champ. The Wabastos are terribly overpriced!
After several years as an infantry soldier at Ft. Lewis back in the 90s, your rooftop digs didn't seem that bad! You could still make a video and the wind just does that if you're lucky enough to have a shelter. My newly purchased 2010 FJ Cruiser, also Army Green, is something I may purchase a rooftop tent for. Believe what happened is your hose initially not being hooked up fried your fuel pump on the heater. I'd ask for a complete replacement and look it over for mistakes now that you're familiar with the workings.
I’m having a propane Truma either installed in my a T atlas camper little pricey but no maintenance very nice unit thanks for the videos hope you and the family are well be blessed I wouldn’t trust that cheap heater propane is much more efficient does well in high-altitude
Hey Edward - do you ever feel like the interior of the tundra is lacking in a lot of ways? Lack of charging ports, cup holders, etc? Or does it feel adequate most of the time?

Is that a.roofnest falcon? If so how long have you had it and any pros and cons...any quality issues....

@@KrokemOutdoors it shouldn't gel up at 20 but it's worth a try. Have you tried starting it up in someplace warm? Like a garage or something?
@@northernmichiganoverland gonna give that a shot 👍
consider getting a electric heater as backup. Since you have a battery pack, you can run it all night and worry less about CO and ventilating.
