get a bigger stove use a combination of dry and greenwood for heat that burns slower

In military they are used for a squad. So feeding the fire is a rotating duty.

“We have 3 inches, not enough obviously”. Damn who knew a few words could hurt so much….

Luke from outdoor boys does it in -60f

Now I want beef stew

Then modify it and make a log holder and a self feeder

Or just use lump coal 😂😂

Get better sleeping gear.

Buy a bigger oven.

Awesome setup. The bumper and winch look fantastic, I’m hoping to get my hidden winch installed on my 3rd gen 4Runner soon. I look forward to seeing it post squat removal lol but again, looks absolutely amazing.

Easily available items to solve this - fire bricks, ( heat retention) and wood pelletvfeeder ,- gravity feed lasts for many hours - go to sleep with confidence

I just bought one of those

That my friend, is a beautiful thing

And that’s why sleeping bag

wish i had found one worth buying now lol this thing is sweet

I did not know you where looking for a front bumber. I was about to recommend the coastal off road front bumper. You can get it for the 1 inch body lift and because of the nature of the bumper is easy to modify. Ohn and is cheaper.

🙉

The problem is insulation and not the stove. The burn of the stove can be controlled but if you have no insulation then you have to just live with it. There are innovative ways to get around it but it depends on what kind of tenting you are doing. And what resources one has.

Most people that do this kind of serious camping build their own stove. We have one in our hunting camper that fits logs up to 24" Load it up with half rotten cork wood and it smolders all night. 6h the camp is around 15⁰C in the morning and -15 outside

Awww yeah, Australian made bumper! 😎

Almost everyone I know who has cummins swapped a Land Cruiser (specifically a 4BT) ends up selling it 12-18 months later.

So what’s your better option exactly? Just freeze the whole time in a regular tent? It’s pretty nice to be able to have a fully heated space in the middle of the woods in -20. If you aren’t prepped with a quality sleeping bag and the ability to camp in the cold then you shouldn’t be out there anyway.

Ive used a hot tent in the winter time while backcountry skiing. The joy is that you can cook with it (freeze dried meals), you can dry out you wet winter gear for the next morning, and it keeps you warm while awake. You absolutely need to bring a good sleeping pad and bag because it gets cold when the fire goes out at night. That shouldn't be an issue with the right gear. Try winter camping and not being able to dry out your socks, boot liners, or gloves. It's definitely more of a slog.

I never heat anything during the night, I don't get it why you want to do it. -22c you will get awesome sleep with just two budget summer sleeping bags (+1 8cm loft). Stove is great to be cosy, to dry but for sleeping - useless.

At the end of it , you still had a Cummins 🤢🤢🤮

Well I can say from first hand use, if you know all the ins and outs of a wood stove and the right wood, you’re not worried about stocking it all night. I run the SXL in my 8x10 shelter and stoke it 2-3 times to burn all night. But that’s not its purpose. It’s meant to cook on, take the chill off when you’re getting ready for bed, and to dry your gear. Fire it up in the morning while you’re getting ready and you leave the tent warm. If you need to survive a real frigid night, you’ll damn sure see it’s worth it.

Arbutus gives you longer burn times I use that at the end of the night

Interesting usually these have adjustable airflows so you can speed up or slow the burn

Hank hill has entered the chat.

It's ok. I've been stoking it all night since 12

Pellet stove guy

Why on earth would you take a bed with you on a trip? It's the same as sleeping inside house.

Get a wood pellet one, I’ve got one with a massive hopper that will last almost 2 nights

Where do you buy your metal?

You can burn compressed logs (or 3 hour logs) in these hot tent stoves. Regulating the intake air will allow these logs to burn through most of the night. Yes, these logs are heavy and bulky, but carrying one per night should not be a problem considering the tent, stove, sleeping mat & bag, food and drink that one usually brings on these winter excursions.

I feel like some simple logic could solve this problem.. perhaps the concept of a stove heated tent is a good one, I think just poorly executed in this example.. if you were to simply make the stove larger, or use a denser fuel source I think that would solve the problem.

Buy a bigger stove - obviously not worth it if you’re backpacking, but if you’ve got the space (car camping, pulling a polk, canoe, hunt camp) they make tent stoves that will fit standard length firewood. Winnerwell nomad large is a good example - I went with the large for that reason. Not to mention, processing firewood is part of it - whether it’s a fire or a stove…

P.S. Do you not understand how camping works? It's not supposed to be comfortable. Survivable, not comfortable.

The Woodsbound Outdoors guy would disagree...

That was the problem I ran into as well ❤

Fake

I'm just trippin that that thing costs $600 😂

That is why they sell specialty treated wood/pucks that last 8-10 hours so that it keeps the fire and coals warm through the night... Alaskan winter camper here

Back when i was six my mom and dad bought a army tent that was made of heavy canvas and had an asbestos ring for the stove pipe... We moved to the middle of nowhere in Arkansas and lived in that tent for over ayear through a pretty harsh winter. They used an old cast iron wood cook stove for cooking and heating and that worked pretty well, so i think it's a matter of the modern day equipment rather than an impossible thing. I still have that wood cook stove, set up and working in my house.

Look into the pellet stove last all night!

Take some one with and do shifts to keep it going

Its either do what it takes or be cold pick one .

You don't need heat for sleeping, just use a good sleeping bag.

I wonder if it would be better to use a Native American style teepee instead? I believe the top flap is used as vent/chimney of sorts which allows one to have a fire placed in the middle. The same concept would apply with using Lavvo/Sami tents from Finnish culture...

I rarely end up sleeping when I camp, so that's not much a worry lol
