I an in a sprinter van.. use one of these regularly.. I also use a $20 12v. Throw.. under my wool duvet in frosts. Cozy as.
I’ve used the mini/micro buddy that runs of propane, first you MUST crack a window because of oxygen loss, secondly, I got sick from the fumes. I did security and spent long hours with it, Best way dress warm, run your car for 15 minutes, It won’t hurt the mileage idling, (keep the windows closed(there are air holes in cars that will prevent oxygen loss) and do that once every hour or two. Also, simply lighting a tea light candle with all the windows closed, again air holes. I keep my mini buddy for backup, but don’t advise too much propane inside even with cracked windows…. 😊
That's a very healthy sleep, having to wake up every 1 or 2 hours. No stress on your body and mind at all.
I would recommend doing an initial burn on devices such as this outside your enclosed space so you aren’t breathing in toxic fumes from oils and coatings used during the manufacturing process.
Maybe try getting a chunk of steel (like a 20lb cast gym weight) that could be heated up to retain and then radiate heat after burner is shut off, sort of hot water bottle style. And of course hot water bottle for in bed to keep feet warm!
Agreed! I should've burned it first in an open space. Thanks for the suggestions!
The beauty of this stove is you can use more than one fuel like denatured alcohol with this stove only draw back is you have to vent
That little heater works great, getting window weather guards would be helpful so you can crack a window to let out moisture
I just started watching your videos, and I must tell you I really like them.
Glad you like them!
That will keep you warm!
Have you given any thoughts of installing a carbon monoxide detector?
Stick a pan on top and it will get hot too, but help reflect some of the heat down, and add to the warm surface area.
Great job! 👍👍
I have a detector. I like the pan idea!
I'm now using a catalytic propane heater for the car. Since it is flameless, it does not put out any carbon monoxide and will run 7 hours on 1 lb. It's bigger than what you have there but smaller than a Buddy.
It does...Anything burns produce CO
@@foodparadise5792 The CO detector has never gone off...even in the car.
I have it for over 2 years now maybe same time with you. I used it for first time on my winter bikepacking trip to Orkney island. It was live saver as could heat my tent having it just outside of the entrance and could dry my wet boots and clothes. It did a really great job. Wouldn’t use it inside my Campervan tho.. it does look dangerously hot and could cause some serious troubles. But someone on a tent would recommend it 100%
Camping lanterns have been most effective for me. I began with the iconic Coleman naphtha lantern. It was necessary to light the lantern outside then carefully carry it inside. Naphtha is the most economical, but most dangerous. Propane was easier and safer.Now I use a Primus butane Micron Lantern. It's smaller than a can f soup! It is tiny yet emits a lot of light and heat. Yes the butane canister must be warm for it to work.
I use the same thing. I'm sold on it. The light weight metal cools quickly. I keep something nearby to rest it on until it's cool when I'm ready to use my stove for something else. Glad you mentioned having a window cracked.
I put it over a tiny folding metal camp stove with can heat and also over a large crisco with 3 candles down inside and it heats up a medium tent well.
I have some and the little folding metal camp stove. I have containers of crisco and candles. I tried Crisco with regular candles in my house and it always went out very fast. I'm thinking I need a different wick but I don't know what kind. Can you tell me what kind of wicks you use?
Great way to warm up before going to sleep. Use a couple of sleeping bags, ski mask for face and cover for head and you're good to go. Nice review. Thanks😊
I use one of these with an small alcohol burner. I have a Webasto diesel heater in my VW T4 campervan but wanted to make sure I had a backup in case of problems when I was in very cold climes.
I did not like the look of the coat of paint on the top section so I burned that off with a blow-torch before the first time I used it.
I've got one like this. Mine is made of thick stainless steel.
I'm impressed with it.
Put it on full for about a minute then turn down to very low and the heat is excellent!
Down side is gas gives off moisture and carbon monoxide. No issue if you have ventilation and enough heat/fresh air to drive out the damp air.
You can buy Vevor chinease diesel heater .u can install in the trunk and have the hose in car.They are very efficient and safe.
I thought about getting one of those,, not the cheapest model, but figured putting the kettle on for tea would warm up my minivan enough. I have a butane stove. If it was too cold for the canister, I would pop in under my 12 V heating blanket for a bit.
Just having a candle in a jar will warm up a vehicle.
Nice demo, but most people burn them outside to get off the residue first. :)
Jon in rural BC, Canada
Omg! I can’t imagine what kind of toxic fumes this thing is off gassing:P
Please be careful!
Another very informative video Rachel 👍... I have used the clay pot with tea candles and paint can with alcohol heaters. Both work great in a small vehicle.
Good to know!
For me the butane stove is enough for heating my minivan
I have been without a home for two years and three months. I sleep in my car. I'm on ssdi and get $1,165.00 a month. I stay in hotels when I can. I stay at a truck stop in Ashland Virginia. I just run the heat to stay warm. I would not use anything because of safety reasons.
I am still looking for a micro wood stove to get the dry heat in the Toyota Sienna . 2" chimney out the window that has been rolled down and a plywood inserted with fireproof exit for the chimney. Nice video and that particular heater top is 30+ bucks to get it into Canada.
I LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING ALL NIGHT ALSO WARM UP MY HANDS FROM THE COZY EXHAUST FROM THE TAILPIPE CUDDLE UP TO IT TO KEEP WARM THE FLUFFY STEAM IS NICE AND WARM
Wondering what temps you would get if you did only the cook stove ...yea the heat shield retains heat but how does it really increase BTU? ....that and do you have a carbon monoxide detector? I tried the Crisco candle heater in my home and the air quality decreased I thought ...but it did increase the temp a fair amount
Please excuse me if this is a dumb Q. But if you have a carbon monoxide detector, will it wake you up if you're sleeping and if it does is it loud enough where your neighbors might complain. I'm asking because I want to try this because I've been very cold.
That "Roar Mobile" looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the tips on heating up the air inside my car. I'm going to use this!
Funnies part was "turning the car on to get heat kills the gas mileage". Yeah, that is one way of describing it :-)
Yes I know the struggle with space ☺️
I’ve seen and wondered about that device. Glad to have your opinion on it 😊 There doesn’t seem to be many options for ambient heat solutions in an area that small 😕 “R.O.A.R.-mobile” 😄👍🏽
Just found your videos. Really enjoy them.
Great video! I love the look of the inside of your car, the set up looks really cool, would you ever think of doing a short video showing the layout that you have? As someone who’s done a bit of car camping, I would love to get some other ideas for my set up. I’m very surprised at how much room you have in the backseat.
need small fan so ceiling doesnt melt and will circulate as well
What about the dampness from the combustion?
Carbon mono- and dioxyde can also be an issue. How do you manage these?
I have a detector.
Lady, I just use my one burner stove for heat. Cheapvanliving taught me that trick 3 or 4 years ago.
Man, thanks for sharing.
What about carbon monoxide build up? You're not supposed to use those propane stoves and in and enclosed area like that. And it burn up the oxygen? Unless you have the window open or something but then that just lets cold air in and it still might not be enough and still might burn up all of the air
Actually coming up with a design for the propane stove that's like a wood burning stove but with propane. It brings outside air and heats it and brings it inside and the combusted air from the propane goes out the other side and it fits in the windows. Just roll up the windows and if you want to take it out just roll down the windows and take it out
I'd Love to know more if You'd Share ideas, photos, drawings etc. Thank You in advance
Enjoyed the video and your channel. Can you do a video covering your sleeping/loving conditions? Currently working on a build for my truck camper and enjoy seeing how others configure their layouts.
Living* lol
Here's a video of my bed build ua-cam.com/video/tUG8ZAfPbGU/v-deo.html and another of me living in my car ua-cam.com/video/NZgNv-MA-HU/v-deo.html
Always worried about CO2 but freezing is also a problem!
CO is the problem not CO2, there are cheap CO detectors they are a must have for stuff like this!
Good video Rachel, hoping your road trip is in a southerly direction, like your nails.
Thank you!
Mickey here from N Ireland Rachel, get a diesel heater regardless because you can take it with you in any vehicle you progress to . I'm starting to do what you are doing just for work purposes but will be doing the minimal living thing in an SUV first an progressing to a fully pimped out camper van, have been wanting to do this for 10 years now but would love to be doing it in USA as there's more beautiful country to explore . do you want to have a short trip together some time an we could both learn a few things on the van life? I'm well up in DIY i build houses and I'm an engineer plus i think you are pretty brave an pretty beautiful !!!!!
Where did you get the clock with inside and outside temperature?
WoW !! Great idea !!
+1 new suscriptor !!
Cheers from Spain
Cool device, didn't know it existed. I am going to look into this. I carry a buddy heater but its bulky and overill for my needs....Too late now but it might have been a good idea to fire it up for the first time outside to burn off any manufacturing residue or coatings =)
I do have a backpack burner but I live in a 1990 Pontiac firebird no way I will have open flame I have a Coleman lantern and a carbon monoxide detector I can sleep with it on I use aluminum foil around the outside to block the light from the side facing me I have it on the passenger front seat
Didnt they teach you anything in the Airforce on how to stay warm? Lol.
But i get what your going thru and sometimes propane and butane for instant heat is what it comes down to. Just with moderation,a co2 ticker and venting hell you will be fine overall.
Check and check, plus a fire extinguisher and fire blanket.
@@RachelsOutdoorAdventureReviews Ever checked out a catalytic heater? Ive used then before and there is no flame or smoke with them. Ive used the Martin portable and its decent.
On my last deployment to trashcanistan up in the mountains of Shahicot valley can get cold, and while alittle more weight, i did have an older catalytic heater with me and in my little Army Molly sleep system i would use it, it did its job for the most part as long as i kept the canister warm. Im out now but i now have the Martin portable and i use it still.
I'm sure somebody has already said this but you should have heat up that metal outside first to get all the residual shit from the factory then you can heat it up and that fire extinguisher you have isn't going to put out any damn thing
Sternos (ethanol) Canned Heat...
Propane is the worst for trying to stay warm in the cold because of the moisture
Instead of heating a large space with carbon monoxide-producing appliances, have you given a thought to USB heated clothing connected to a modern LiFePO4 power station? A small heated blanket? Thermal underwear? Down clothing, booties? A fleece hat would help tremendously. Keep adventuring!
Get an air quality monitor if you're going to do this. The gas stove is very close to you and puts out pollutants faster than a cracked window can handle. You'd be surprised how quickly CO2 climbs even in a ventilated home kitchen. CO2, CO, NOx and PM2.5 have measurable effects on health and cognitive function, even well below poisoning thresholds.
Too much moisture. I heated with butane/propane as well. Burning those fuels create tons of moisture. You’d need to open your windows so much, that you’d lose mor heat than moisture. You need a dry heat system, that vents outside the car. The cond
I have one but but u should open window they are very toxic
The inside of a vehicle will build up carbon monoxide quickly using any kind of burning inside the vehicle. 20 minutes or longer in a room that size is just asking for bad things.
The stove alone is enough to heat my minivan
Yuo are emezing
its called fire... the end
Hi where did you buy that heating stove cover can you tell me pls cool video I subscribe to your channel thanks
There are links in the description.
@@RachelsOutdoorAdventureReviews thanks
If you want to stay warm while camping in the winter do it down South what good is camping if you're going to freeze your ass camping should be a pleasurable and fun time freezing your ass off it's not fun time being cooped up in one little spot because it's cold outside it's not fun
Lord I hope you have a carbondioxcide detector if not please get one
hi
These thing barely make any difference than if u just had the actual flame just going . Not to mention the fact who wants a 600 degree piece of metal sitting next to them. Accidentss happen no matter how careful you are.
I use my Coleman two burner cookstove. Lite just one side and elevate an iron pan upside down over the flame, seems to work good enough for me and simple with no extra trinkets to bother with!
You speak facts!!
Cool, you will run out of oxigene in the car but run full of CO2, best way to heaven...
I use a gas detecting monitor.. have had no problems in 2yrs
When in military winter training several asphyxiated from CO poisoning when they used a white gas stove to heat up their vehicle. Don’t do this.
I wonder if this would get similar results with a sterno can?
Too short
This is messed up on so many levels. Using a freaking propane stove inside an enclosed car... When she turns it on, black smoke from the cheap chinese metal and you see it stain her headliner hahahah. Yeah you'll heat up the vehicle but are getting CO2 poisened in the process.
Camping hari kiri
Super unsafe.
My god, you are adorable
I love u..
💜
You look so uncomfortable setting there.
crazy dangerous idea. Just turn the car heating on for 20 minutes and insulate the windows.
People die from using stuff like this. 🤷♂️
This is extremely dangerous
Wtf is wrong with the house
there is more room in a prison cell and warmer.
My views and "yard" time are much better.
And free baloney sandwiches.
I knew a guy that would get arrested just to have a place to stay.
Not uncommon!
Depends on the prison.
