Anything can be safe if you use common sense

You make great videos. I'm very big on Nevada as I recently purchased 162 acres in the Unionville Nevada area. I have a beautiful and close direct view of Star Peak. Traveling out there and seeing the beautiful terrain surrounding my land has me looking for anything Nevada for future travels.

Well thought out . And well implemented and explained too . People tend to forget the Volt/Amps ratio that results in Wattage . YES , you did essentially double your Charge rate , without ANY extra stress on the Vehicle or other systems .

Thanks

Diesel Heater

thanks alot I'm van Camping while I work so everyone had me scared but I fell like I have proper ventilation for me and Mr.buddy.

Why can't you use a solar panel while driving?

Hi Guys great video. I bought one of these last year and unfortunately it was blown apart a couple of days ago on a gust of wind on a 10 knot day. Super disappointed. After (hopefully) repairing it I’ll be using that pole and a guy wire on all but the calmest of days

Excellent song…what is it?

How about carbon dioxide CO2? I bought CO2 meter a little over a year ago to test the levels in my house. We heat our house with wood, so there is no central system circulating the air in the house in the winter. The first night in our bedroom, I awoke to pee at 2:30 and was shocked the CO2 level was up to 1300 ppm, that with 2 adults and a cat in a 12x12x8 room. Later, at 4:30, it was up in the 1600s. They say the safe range is green up to 999ppm; warnings from 1000 to 1999ppm are yellow; and dangerous from 2000 and above are red. Alarmed, I built a fresh air exchanger for the bedroom and later a large system for the whole house. Last month, just before Xmas, we went on one of our week-long camping trips. We have a 5m canvas bell tent with ventilation in the peak, some windows cracked, and we leave the door zippers open 16" so our cat can come and go at night. Out of curiosity, I brought the CO2 meter along and was shocked when, in the early morning hours, it was reading 2400ppm, then a few hours later, in the 2600s, well into the red danger zone. This is with the Buddy heater on low. I don't know quite what to think about this. We have camped with the exact system in the same tent with the same Buddy heater hooked to a 20Lb tank for 5+ years with no apparent problems, but I am alarmed and not sure what to do about this. Normally, the outside readings are from the 400s to the 600s. In the house, they say 800s are good, well over 2000, very bad! This is in a large bell tent with 3 or more times the volume of a 10x12 cabin tent. I think you are very smart to turn the heater off at night when the children are sleeping. I am in my mid-70s and pushing up against my expiration date anyway, so I try not to sweat stuff like this too much.

I wished I lived in an area that was off road/ overlander friendly New Hampshire just doesn't offer that

Very interesting information

possibly different readings with people breathing inside the tent

Dude you need to take this video down. I don’t care if you made an honest mistake and were ignorant to the product or not but saying that the iKamper has a teflon coated material when it does not is defamation if not slander. Teflon obviously has a severely negative connotation to it and you are impacting their sales and reputation by saying so. You making a “comment” correcting is NOT ENOUGH. Most people don’t read the comment section. They just listen to videos and once they hear teflon they won’t be interested in the product. At the very least you should edit the video with BOLD captioning saying that you were wrong on the video itself. You could also splice out the part where you misspoke as well. That’s bush league man, get your facts straight before you speak and if you make a mistake at least go the full way and correct it, not a half-assed correction.

I'd imagine venting the tent would drop the CO to less than 10ppm. Great video.

Much cheaper solution than Bluetti charger1. I am wrestling with this in my setup. Park somewhere in the shade and no solar, but cooler trailer. If you are parked for a while, you have to idle the truck for an hour to recharge. Starting to think a used Honda generator would be the most flexible option.

Great collaboration! Welcome home Kevin. Enjoy the holidays with your family brother!

That intro was pure 🔥! This was so fun to make with you bro! 😎 👊🏼

You added water not dried any air. Relative humidity isn’t a good way to measure moisture because it’s only relative to the temperature and the dew point . When you started your test you said that it was 50 degrees out with a rh% of 50 . That gives you a dew point of 32 degrees (which is incredibly dry).And you finished the test you had a temperature of 100 with a rh% of 20 , that’s a dew point of 52 degrees . You raised the dew point 20 degrees. Anything that would be colder than that(sides of the tent) would condensate. Propane combustion has a lot of water in it .Burning 1lb of propane produces 1.6lbs of water.

This is dope

Nice video Kevin! I like the size of the VL45Pro and ICECO is definitely great quality!

keep the burner on after removing the food then add a little water to the pan and you wont have anything stuck to the pan.

If you install a 48V instead of a 24V you can charge at 380W. Then there's the obvious..... Why not both?

Just got back from 4 day night camp 34 degrees at night. ---OK just vent the tent for sure period--. We ran it all night , this thing heated up the tent to an amazing warmth . Did not miss any heat through venting as this thing puts out so much heat. We have a big buddy with a fan built in. The fan is a big safety factor, it keeps the heat moving so as not to even allow any heat build up on ceiling. I was checking often. we were in a 10X14 Coleman instant tent bout 6.5 feet ceiling height. Procedure is heat tent up on high for about 7 minutes then turn down to Medium was perfect. Got to use your head .

Man, nothing like spending time off road camping with just you and the family! Great times and makin them memories! ❤

"Full time pilot." Ok, done. (How do you know if someone is a pilot...oh, don't worry, they'll tell you.) I thought it was an off road channel.

Why the click bait? Thumbs down.

Condensation comes from breathing. Try sleeping in there also

Ecoflow offers a product that charges at 800 watts. Its called the Ecoflow 800w Alternator Charger. It is on sale for 400 with the regular price being 600. Thats more than this solution but might be a simpler solution if the price isn't the issue or you need the super fast charge

I tust the buddy heater in my ice fishing tent but if I want consistent heat all night long in my rtt, I use a diesel heater. I have two vents plus I slighty open the two windows, with that in 10 degree temps (coldest ive camped so far) I comfortably sleep in shorts/tshirt and a light blanket(rumple or similar style.) my biggest fear sleeping with the buddy heater is not condensation or co level it is something getting up against the heater and catching fire.

Take it ice fishing in a completley enclosed tent and leave it running throughout the night never had a problem even with an additional carbon monoxide/ low oxygen detector.

It's great if you're driving, but parked I'd opt for panels. Ideally, you'd have both.

I can’t bring myself to trust one

315w canadian solar house panel on the roof of my landcruiser, and a 20 amp dcdc that i can swap input and output with two anderson plugs, i actually have enough solar that the dcdc charges my start battery and saves me some fuel/ engine load when the sun is shining. Then if its night or the clouds are over, i can unplug the dcdc and charge the aux battery from the alternator. House solar panels are cheap and far more efficient than those semi flexible panels.

Might cost the same to get the blue alternator charger.

I am one of these and haven't used it yet. Since I work at night and spend a lot of time in my car working, it's very cold. I want to leave the engine going. However, having a heater is nice.It's better than being cold excellent test thank you kevin

Does Altitude affect these results?

Great video!!!

I have used this heater for about 4 years going camping by the lake, it's about 6-hour run time on a 1-lb cylinder, does really good for me and keeping the entire tent warm in the winter time I think it does pretty good

I live in MN we have tens of thousands of people on the ice with these all winter. I will say every year they find someone dead from these things.

So Taiwan was the AOish?

I don't know what it is but I have the same mattress and every trip I go on, My wife and I are super sore and feel like we got hit by a truck we inflate it and let out some air so it's not too firm but if there is any tips anyone has I'm open to it because, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a hest mattress if not.

Good share… thanks!

I think the condensation is mostly a problem when the propane tank is inside the tent with the heater.

Car battery voltage typically ranges from 12.6 to 14.4 volts with the alternator charging it when running. A fully charged battery should measure 12.6 volts or above when the engine is off. Set the voltage cut off to 12.55 like @Ulbre mentioned.

so instead of free solar energy you use an glorified diesel generator aka your car? wow...

Jesus. Posers. You always carry a chainsaw in the woods, and not that kinda chainsaw. Fuck, go back to Starbucks

Fallen trees can really upset your trip. I’ve had my share getting stuck as well. Great video, awesome location. Be safe!😊

Should have gone for a 48v or 60v boost converter. And you don’t want to use your car as a generator when not in motion, so get a solar panel and/or a stand alone generator and for crying out loud, charge up your solar generator before you go on a trip, takes 2 hours max.

Great video, I've been following Edward Shin for years. It's really all about the company you keep when you do these kinds of trips makes me think back to the trips I did with my dad when he was still alive. Thanks for your service, it's a tough time to be in the military these days, one of my best friends Jim served for years and was in the Gulf war during the Iraqi Invasion into Kwait, the videos he brought back from over there for me to watch were pretty crazy. We spent hours and only got through half of it. God Bless Have a great week.👍🏼
