What a fun video Alex. I bet waking up to that snow must have been something. So let me ask you this, if a tent like this gets a rip, can it be repaired easily?

My dad had a canvas wall tent when we were kids, that was the coolest tent. I'd bet he still has it. He never throws anything away, plus that tent was so durable. Likely hasn't been used in years and no clue on the condition.

These heaters are garbage. I bought a second one a few months ago for a follow video. It cost $78. Think about this, Amazon made money, manufacture made money and of course HCalory made money. After profits removed, this is likely at $30 heater. Nope... hard pass for me.

Ordered a Flex 1500 in 2021. It took about 18 months or so for us to even get the generator. Then they promised they would send an additional item to make up for the delay (a crock pot). We never received it. Then we bought extra batteries. We've used the generator (inside the house) a handful of times. It is now dead about 2.5 or so years later. Of course, it's out of warranty! Garbage! They have terrible reviews on the BBB site, BTW.

Just picked up a Sunster diesel heater. The case is a little better laid out than the Planar but wish me luck on the quality otherwise.... Here is the surprise: My back up is a 12v electric blanket that is under sized and made to go under the sleeping bag and can operate on low at 40 watts or so intermittently to maintain heat. Experimenting so far my older ecoflo delta can power it for three nights!! Good alternative.

Hey friend, thanks for stopping by and welcome to the channel! I wasn't familiar with "Sunster" heaters and had to Google that one. My loyalty is with the end user, so I hope that works out for you, however if the 2.5 stars I saw this heater had on Amazon bits you in the butt, you have some perspective on other options. Regarding electric blanket, 100% friend... I have tested a number of these over the years as well. Great way to keep toasty!

Great review! I've been drooling over those Planar heaters, I just can't justify the cost as I only winter camp maybe 10 nights per year. I purchased the Sunster last month also on Amazon and so far the thing is solid, quiet and puts off a great amount of heat. My only gripe is that is is not maintenance friendly as the case is riveted. I ended up drilling out the rivets and replaced them with M3 rivet nuts, this way I can get to all of the components. In addition to this I also added in a fuel filter, replaced the green fuel line with actual fuel line then added an additional filter to better keep out fine dust and sand from the combustion chamber. At $200 USD you really can't go wrong.

Will the smaller heater heat a couple tents?
@4wdTALK
@4wdTALK 21 күн бұрын
A few factors go into that answer which depend on ambient temperature, size of tents, distance from heater and where you want the temps to be. Assuming it's not -50F, and temps are on positive side of "0", even a 2kW heater will keep both tents comfortable (assuming smaller tents). The larger the tent, the more BTU's you'll want.

I've been on the fence with their UP5 tent and just now seeing this one. This looks like you get a more usable footprint. Which would you recommend from the two?
@4wdTALK
@4wdTALK 28 күн бұрын
UP5 is a great tent and does have advantages over the Hexagon. While the Hexagon is much larger when set up, it's also nearly 7' when stowed away. Compare that to the UP5, which is just a tad longer than 4'. This is huge when transporting. The Hexagon is nearly double the weight, however the foot print is much larger than UP5. If you have large group or you just enjoy a larger space, Hexagon all the way.

While I agree that diesel is cheaper, instead of comparing the cost of 1# tank for the Buddy Heater, you should be comparing to a 20# connection that more serious campers use.
