You can also put some hot hands inside your sleeping bag preferably a 0°f sleeping bag and have an electric blanket inside the sleeping bag and run the electric blanket before getting in the sleeping bag to warm it up before you go to sleep
Watching this when I'm living in South East Asia lmao. it's interesting though. haha Edit: it's very2 hot here. the humidity is quite high making the temperature feels hotter than usual.
Don't rely on the Mr. Buddy heater. In my limited experience of camping in my vehicle, that's the one thing I wouldn't skimp on in winter. If you're in a tight space like an SUV, there's a fire hazard, and if it runs out while you're asleep and it's really cold, you may not be able to restart it. A diesel heater is by far the best option because the combustion is using air from outside and exhausting it outside the vehicle.
You nailed it on this video Max, I have been winter camping in the Canadian Rockies for years. I would like to see you swap to a diesel heater, I keep mine in a tote along with the hose and power cord, this helps me negate any diesel smell while transporting. I flip the tote upside down set the heter on top and place the lid on top of the heater to shelter from snow. Heater consumes about 18 Amps / 220 w over a 10 hr run.
The shovel is a big big thing to have for any winter driving, never mind camping. I'm in my 60's now having lived most of my life in Canada, and I have all sorts of emergency gear I keep in my vehicles: flares to first aid kit, ropes, old wire hangers (great for jury-rigging exhausts, or holding things together that need a lot of strength), and a number of other things, but the one thing that gets the most use is a good snow shovel. I see those "survival" types with their trenching tool, and laugh. That will work, but a good snow shovel will get you or someone you are helping out of a snow situation in about a tenth of the time or less it would take them with their trenching tool. The snow shovel will get used a dozen times a season, but the flares, straps etc may be recycled before they are ever used more than a couple of times.
Nice rig. You want to have 3 kinds of gloves; leather drivers for around the fire, plastic (showa etc) for touching anything with snow on it, and ski gloves (like black diamond guide) for shtf. A sleeping bag and pad warm enough to sleep with no heater, and a good cabin heater, and you're all set. Burn softwood outdoors in the winter when it's wet.
I just don't understand why you would need heating through the night! 😂 Absolute crazy. Your sleeping bag was obviously not adequate for the temperatures. I always sleep naked inside a sleeping bag no matter how low the temperature gets. Just use a quality 🦆🪿 down bag and there will never be ever a need for a stinking gas heater.

Surprised you didn't mention the Nalgene trick. Boil a pot of water, fill up your Nalgene water bottle, and sleep with it under your sleeping bag/blankets. Keeps you warm until morning!
When it comes to the heaters it's not just a question of judging what one thinks "looks safe". ***Read the instructions*** CLEARANCE, CLARENCE, CLEARANCE
I have a First Gen Durango with a 5.9. Really bad on Gas (11 MPG and it wants 93 octane) and kind of tight on the inside, but the 4X4 is decent in low lock. I am thinking about a Sequoia. How's the mileage and 4X4 and reliability? What years offer the best option package? Oversized space blankets are a MUST and an additional heavy blanket, over the space blanket, over your sleeping bag can be a lifesaver, if all heat options are gone. Insulated mat and another space blanket underneath for the win! Wrap yourself like a Burrito! LOL You could always heat some bricks in a fire and put them in pots and bring them inside for a few hours of heating help! Or heated water in bottles in your sleeping bag usually gives 5 hours of help!. Heated sand in pails lasts the longest. WARM vs COLD is the deal breaker when Winter camping, however we do it! I didn't see a Hot Tub in your truck for the bad nights! LOL Thanks for keepin it real!
Small heaters are great but the risk of death from carbon monoxide is huge. A jackery with a little electric heater is the best. and always let someone know where your going. Send a text or map screen shot of where you gonna spend the night.
@@Globetrotter-1 I’ve slept in tents in winter conditions since I was a small child and agree that a good down bag (and good sleeping pads as well, definitely no air mattresses or cots!) can keep me toasty in a tent, especially a tent with powder snow on it, but I now have inherited a pickup with a camper shell that I’d like to use in lieu of a hotel when traveling long distances. I’m insulating the heck out of the shell ( especially the floor) but I would like some safe heat source available just in case. I’m thinking of a Jackery with a heating pad (only 44W) or electric sleeping pad. Jackery’s webpage has a nice chart on using electric blankets. Jackerys arent cheap, but having one will also be useful for power failures at home.

Electric blanket is the secret weapon! 👍🏻
A good down bag doesn't require power.
really useful info man, and appreciate the total lack of wasted time. and great footage / awesome rig!
Keep up the great work. I think your channel will blow up one day

Me toooo!!! Hahahahahahahaha
diesel heater is the way to go!!

You don't need a diesel heater either, especially at night when you're already cozy in a decent sleeping bag.
Love the tracks walking to the spot and the tracks leading back. That is some dedication sir. Thank you!!

Well done! Great presence, presentation, and information. Super cool rig!
Awesome video and awesomeee rig
Love the video!
solid advice! I'll be up in the PNW this winter!
. I enjoyed watching your video. Excellent presentation.😊
Great video man. I have always wanted to get out in the Deschutes. You have like 5 videos worth of info here.
Excellent video! Did you build the slide out boxes?

What is the "down bag"?

awesome man. I've done a decent amount of offroading near Portland, lmk if you want to do something!

Super informative thank you
Most buddy heaters I know the co2 sensor doesn't work so just crack a window a tiny bit
Nice work.

5:30 on shoveling snow. Don't neglect cardio. Recovery might take a bunch of physical effort.
Nice looking truck
Nice video man. I'm going in oregon soon. I got a woodstove in the back so lets see what it will be to ride it across canada
This is bill nye the science guy 😂
Thanks!

For the heater, you can also get a gasoline heater instead of the diesel heater if your vehicle also uses gasoline ⛽️
Hey Max, How long does your truck take to start on freezing cold mornings? Does it take longer when it hasn't been used for several days?

I’d like to see a video on this topic
There is zero need for a heater of any kind when you're sleeping in a decent down bag.
