It’s soooo satisfying to do

Avanto! I have much to learn. The tongs are unreal. I saw quite a few on FB marketplace surprisingly. I think they used to be fairly common in the days of ice boxes. There’s a Finnish company that still makes them along with use saws etc. That’s a great idea about the sauna groups! If only the mods would approve it 😜. Oh cool I just asked her about that. Our lake is so deep but there is a spot I want to try where you can stand now.

The short answer is because water is more efficient at transferring heat than air.

A small wood fire? Right haha. Surrounded by trees that sequester that carbon.

@flyinfinn2007 no. breaking a hole in the ice. that how you start the melting. and overheating with sauna. look dude. i am 46 years old i never bought gasoline, i never owned any car. i am ecologist. i holded back my natality so i had no children that would heat the house. i haven't turned on for ladt 5 years the gas heater at my parents house. i never emancipated because that would mean turning the fields into new neighborhoods. you don't have the ethics and morals as to aclimate to your weather naturally. i use feathers and down mountaineering clothing and bed in order to keep my body heat, or i do gymnastics. no need to make constant fire like you, your friends and family do. you worth the california fires. you are like those who pour fake snow at the mountains for the sake of skying, then all those chemicals get into the river. you are like all those who contaminates with car and justifies themselves "you need it for the job". no you just don't. a life is possible without doing all those things, like the lack of respect towards the environment cutting the ice. go ahead pour lava on the north pole and let's end the world sooner.

You could move it around based on the season even! Since it can be varied by a couple people and there are no connections to worry about you could have it close to the lake in the summer and by the cabin in the winter?

I think a rain fly is key. I also think having some dry air after a good rain is good. I would say if the trees in the area grow funk on the trucks then the tent will likely get mouldy if kept up long term.

@ gotcha, that makes sense. All the trees around here have funk on their trunks, lol

Simply keeping food out of the tent has been enough to keep rodents at bay for us. I think the tent is in a pretty diverse ecosystem of predators too so there might be less rodents then places with fewer owls foxes and snakes

I’m not sure. It’s not grounded so I I’m sure it would be any more attractive to lightning than the ground itself close by. I’ve never heard of lightning hitting one of these but I wouldn’t hold onto the pole rather during an electric storm.

I’d love to try a rectangular tent. I’m having a hard time finding one with a zip in floor. I love that the current tent keeps out the critters well.

Yeah no have a whole build series on this and one of the videos covered the floor.

I got it from CitizenCanvas in Canada but you can purchase it from CanvasCamp outside of Canada.

They make it from marine grade aluminum. It still looks great 3 years later!

@@JonathanKuhn Thanks. Is there a drain plug somewhere down the tub?

Yeah there is a sizeable drain. I have some other videos that go over some of that

@@JonathanKuhn Thanks!

✊

Yeah! I’m sad we didn’t bring any that day because the conditions under the snow were great!

@@JonathanKuhn Awesome, guess just there for the day as I don't see the bell tent?

Yeah just the day this time.

I used 2” stainless steel 16g nails

I bought canvascamp tent from citizen canvas

Im glad you liked it!

@ very much so! I have been planning mine for a while now and this is what I will be aiming for. Thanks and take care

Incredible! I made my plans available for sale on my website if you want to use them as reference. There are some good details in there that should save you some time building.

@ wonderful, I will definitely use them.

I’m glad you found it helpful! I have some PDF plans available for sale in the description as well. Bushradical is a legend!

Is that true? That’s wildly low! Are tetanus shots given out freely in the US? I wonder if it’s a case of good medicine or it’s just more rare than I assume

@ I think Medicare insurance covers those shots. Unsure honestly if it’s good medicine or what. I thought that was interesting how low of cases there is also. Maybe we don’t need to actually get it! Anyway, I enjoy your content!

I’m surprised how low it is too! 5 people a year get it in Canada which seems higher per capita. Maybe it’s just reported more in Canada because of the healthcare system. Either way. So low. So interesting.

We ARE best fiends now. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I hope you get to fulfill your dream too!

I believe they were nylon or rubber spacers given to me by the glass supplier. I specifically asked if spacers were needed and they gave me these.

The mice haven’t shown much interest. The only time we saw that any had come in was because we ate food in the tent. Now we just avoid that and no issues so far

​@@JonathanKuhn I wish we had the same luck. We gave up keeping a 3-season tent up on our camp property because the mice chewed the shit out of it and any contents therein they thought would make good nest bedding; and we couldn't get there often enough to keep it sprayed down with mint oil to keep them out.

That’s frustrating. We have a lot of owls and predators around too so maybe they keep the mice at bay too 🤷‍♂️

No it’s just canvas with waterproofing and UV protection built in.

It’s a Jonathan Kuhn Woodburning sauna with change room. Not for sale unfortunately but you can build one yourself or have one built. Complete plans available at jonathankuhn.ca/store

I wish I tallied that up. My guess is around $600 CAD for all the materials and kitchenette. I did get the deck part for free though.

So cool! I’m sure these ones aren’t made to the same standard as the ones made on the past but they are pretty great

I do but we take the tent down since we aren’t around to keep the snow off. Snow load would be waaaay to much for the canvas

😀

Verrrrry soon! I’m just finalizing a few things. Send me a message to the email in the description of this video and I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop

Thanks!

The footprint is 6’ by 8’ I believe

Thanks!

I totally agree. I wish all canvas tents had that
