-30C Extreme Cold Cabin Overnight

They have some small saws 6/8 inch Amazon. Came with 2 little charges. They work good and the charge stays pretty darn good. Just not sure with that freezing cold. 🥶 I have 26 dwarf bottlebrush with shears it could take 20 + minutes each to prune. With the little saw 5 minutes each at the most. Just thought I run it past you. Of course, you sawing branches warms you up good.

@@Lalunabreeze Thanks! Yes I have thought about an 8" cordless chainsaw. Maybe one day when I can afford it. The battery might not last long in the cold possibly 🙂

Whenever I'd complain about the cold my Pop would tell me that the heat is in the work, and he'd send me out to cut and split wood. Cut enough wood until you think you have enough and then cut as much as you did the first go around. Then keep quiet about being cold again. Ha, Ha, Ha. Thanks for bringing back fond memories from my good old days.

[@billmafturack8189]

Tip: a metal pail filled with rocks set on your stove can be a great source of continued heat long after the fire goes out , on cold nights can be placed under the bed to warm it .. ( heat outside the first few times as heated rocks can explode do not use river or creek rocks )

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Thanks Bill! There are only creek rocks around and usually frozen or buried in the snow. Having "extreme " in the title helps attract more views. I know several people from northern Ontario and it sounds like a rough place but they are tough folk. Thanks for watching 🙏👍💛✌

[@billmafturack8189]

@@Thelonelyscavenger you can use the creek rocks inside eventually course gravels can also be used something to plan for over warmer months .. I would use them around an outdoor fire a fair number of times before utilizing for indoors. I like the tip mentioned about utilizing old fire hose as weather strips 👍 Keep up the good work and enjoy your outdoors .. 👍

[@eugeneduran5489]

Hey bud , not one to dive into your business , noticed you bearing down on your bow saw , a no-no from experience . Saw one handed and let the weight move your saw down the log . Putting weight on your saw will not only dull it quicker but will also warp your saw blade rendering it pretty much useless . Grew up using a bow saw to saw all our wood ( up to 8 cords a winter ) and if we were careful we could cut 2 cords of wood per saw blade . Just saying ....

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

[@standaffern6595]

I like your sawbuck idea, but as an improvement, maybe bore out the hole to 1” and replace the bolt with a hardwood dowel. Pin the dowel in place with a screw from the bottom of the center leg,and you will never hit a piece of metal with your sawblade ever.

You can use a metal bucket and a Coleman lantern for heat. Put the lantern in the bucket and then on top of a heating pad. The lantern heats the bucket and the bucket radiates heat.

When using a wood stove I've found that a vent from outside to the stove's draft reduces the amount of cold air sucked in through cracks etc and the room heats evenly.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Thanks again for the advice, I appreciate that. I have a bigger homemade stove now which heats the cabin very well.✌️🙂

[@mannyg9059]

Man, that was crazy cold. Do you keep making changes based on your experiences, I always do. For what I can see, I would create a bigger place for the wood pile, I would use a metal wedge and axe together for splitting wood and keep it at the cabin. a bigger wood saw would help, I would store Thermos food and liquid containers in that cabin to keep the food and drinks hot longer, I would also keep cigarette lighter fluid around the cabin to start your fire faster. I would plug all of the gaps initially. I would use canvass tarps for window and door covers. You have to keep an eye on the snow on top of your tent. I know that you did not sleep longer than two hours in those conditions, if you slept there. Things are safer and better when shared; it doesn't take long to die under those conditions. If you sleep too long or get injured, you'll perish. Just personal preferences, keep safe.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Thanks for the advice and suggestions. Yes I'm always making improvements at the cabin: 4 foot saw, bigger stove, interior and exterior finished. I have many cabin videos and here is a newer one kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaTCqayIl9eEiqssi=5bTzmBvPsES0MeiN

It's like a fort but for adults. It's made from free scrap wood so I cant complain. I'm just happy to have a warm place to stay. Thanks for watching 🙂✌️
