    One idea to get more airflow is to increase the size of the part of the pipe that you put in the fire. You’ll heat more air, and if you attach a smaller pipe to the tent, the speed of the air will increase.

    Its people like this guy I want as role model for myself and my kids. Guy’s talented and hard working. He’s a lawyer in Russia and when he gets a vacation, he goes into Siberia and stays in total wilderness, alone, cleansing himself from that negative mental(and physical) energy, that a big city cast upon one. I envy him. Its not that I don’t have a chance to get out- I don’t have that willpower to immerse myself with the nature on that level.

      Well, Finnish people are not extinct, so I am guessing it is safe. The part where you dont allow smoke into the pipe is apparent to see.

    I think this tent-heating method with a log torch can be further improved. If you have any thoughts on how you can make it even more efficient please write it below. I would love to hear your suggestions.
    Мy conclusion is this. It was an interesting experience and successful experiment. It is labour consuming but safe (provided the method is used properly) and effective. Besides, carrying three short metal pipes is a lot easier than carrying a portable metal stove while traveling in the snowy wilderness.

      The pipe doesn't need to be in the fire? It could be a straight pipe on an incline above the flame, convection will take care of the rest. This way you can be sure you arent pumping carbon monoxide (which is odourless) into your tent.

    • @arumatai
      @arumatai 5 років тому +7

      you could add some heat shield between the tent and the torch so you can move it closer to the tent.
      also insulation between the tent and the pipe would be a good idea to prevent the danger of melting or setting it on fire.
      thinking of it... insulating the pipe in the parts that are out of the fire might yield great results too.
      oh and some co detector might be a good extra safety measure.

    • @adymode
      @adymode 5 років тому +1

      I like the simplicity of the single bent design. If you could add some fiberglass or other insulation to it, just several inches after it clears the opening to the fire - this could work as a handle sometimes, and it would keep hundreds of watts of heat in the pipe where you want it to be heating the air and creating updraft. An obvious danger is having the pipe too hot near the tent, but all unnecessary cooling of the pipe is loss of efficiency. I would not be surprised if the pipe is dumping a kilowatt of heat on the way to the tent, a section of insulation or less conductive pipe might reduce that greatly. I also suspect theoretically it might work better if their is some increase in cross section area of the piping as air heats within it. Flattening of the hotter sections slightly could be good, which already happens just a little at the bend of the pipe. That "hot bend" might be allowing air to expand a bit and pick up momentum already.

    Maybe put the intake end of the tube in the tent as well, preferrably near the floor of the tent, because the air temperature is lowest there.
    The airflow will be circular and you will lose a lot less heat.
    It will also prevents the airflow from being influenced by the wind.

      It's not like you're gonna get in a epic plane crash and have to remember this specific skill to survive. You can just go out in your backyard and do this during the winter, or really any time if you just want to give it a try. I've seen people do this in similar way but this idea here is definitely the best way to go.

    This is great, I love the simplicity. I just fear coals falling below the opening of the pipe and pumping in carbon monoxide without your noticing. With a hollow log fire like this that's not very likely, but it could maybe happen. When I made my recent desalinator video I realized how good of a heater it would make to run the copper coil from the desalinator into a structure, then pipe the end back out again. Steam carries a LOT of heat, just the small coil I made could probably heat a sizable room. Dipping the coil in 1L of water boiled it in only a few minutes.

      Ben, thank you very much for your expertly input! The first experiment with a U-shaped pipe (the intake is sticking out horizontally from under the log torch) would be more "bulletproof" in that respect...
      It is funny, when I watched your new video about the compact desalinator, I almost wrote in the comment section about this very video about tent-heating coming out in a day because both videos are about heating pipes and pumping something through them in an outdoor setting...))))

    • @FredtheDorfDorfman1985
      @FredtheDorfDorfman1985 4 роки тому +28

      Chris Raabis good question. CO is lighter than air, and warm air would help it rise into the upper portion of the tent, then factor in wind blowing, a tent being far from air tight, and sleeping on the ground, or a cot, down low, I wouldn’t think it would be that big of a problem. A battery operated CO detector would be nice to clip on the tent wall at mid height, but it goes against the concept of living off the land, and requires batteries. Maybe a canary in a cage? Just kidding!
      Yea, extending the intake pipe out from under the smoldering wood would help, and fiberglass yarn/rope would be useful to seal the pipe joints, but not much CO would get sucked in through the pipe joints, from draft effect, anyway through the joints if they were good and snug.

    Others have probably made this observation: The pipe no doubt gets quite hot. But there are probably insulating wraps with reflective surfaces that could be used to reduce heat loss between the log torch and where the pipe enters the tent. Obviously such insulation would need to be rated to withstand a fairly high temperature. Very pracical way to provide some heat to winter campers. Nicely done video. Cool gaiters.

On a side note hang one of your pair of socks over the pipe and you will always have a dry pair. just the heat of the pipe will dry the sweat, they will smell but will be dry and warm nice for a start of a new day.

    Maybe someone mentioned this already, but if you extend the lower end of the pipe into the bottom of the the tent it will draw the cooler air inside at the bottom of the tent and reduce the time the process takes. Obviously you wouldn't want any leaks in the pipe near the fire and smoke. This may also require a bathing suit, strawhat, tropical drink and a hammock.

    How about extending the air intake end of the pipe to inside the tent? This heater is all about heating the air in the pipe, so why not start with warmer air to begin with. Plus, it would eliminate any resistance from trying to blow additional air into the tent (think: how do you blow more into an empty bottle). Oh, and it would also minimize heat energy loss from the tent. Great video!

      that will not work. The only way that would work is small fan. Likely that will cool the tent then heat it. Super heating cold air makes it move like this. Reason coffee makers need cold warm. Hot water freeze faster then cold. The only way to improve this is by making the log longer or harder wood and reduce air that reaches the wood or cool the smoke air and return back to the fire.

    Having used discarded washing machine tubs for years as makeshift firepits while camping, I could see this same method being used to create a semi-permanent "barrel" that you could put any piece of wood or fuel into, with the tube extending down through the core. If you had a permanent straight section of pipe inside the barrel, it could be sized to accommodate the accessory pipe to extend into the tent for heating, as shown in this video. This 1. eliminate the need to source large diameter, dry timber quickly, and 2. Opens up the available amount of potential fuel sources that could be utilized. If you can pack in the tub, or store it at a permanently used seasonal site, it can be used over and over again, season after season.

    I spend a great amount of time outdoors; living remote in N Idaho. Another awesome skill to add to the tool belt.

    great video.
    the burnt and hollowed out torch (completely doused, not while on fire) can be used as a rather nice toilet!

      the burnt inside might help with the smell?

      Well let's avoid eating it- but you could use it to burn in an extreme survival situation such as when there is no dry wood. Or if you really want to clean up before ypu leave.

    Amazing idea ive been trying to find alternate heating methods for when the power goes out for a small shack on the property and something more efficient and safe than heated rocks for our tent also with having daughters a quick and comfortable way to make a toilet when we camp deep in the woods this could solve both of those youve earned my subscription and like. I cant wait to watch more of your videos

      You could use heated rocks but it is not an ideal method either. I tried wrapping heated rocks in aluminum foil, which made it better.

      @Advoko I would try that but I think im gonna practice this method instead I already bent my first pipe but I tried to use a barrel fire for my first test and melted the pipe 😅

    I have an idea for your log fire, use it as a log fire! Great videos, great ideas, your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I'm sure glad I found your channel!
