You completely amaze me; from the recipes, the van build, your jack of all trades craftsmanship, and the incredible video you capture. It's such a gift to view the world you created to live in. Truly inspirational for us old school outdoor nature types.

I was a Firefighter for 28 yrs. I went to many chimney fires. The problem that most people have with wood stoves building up creosote is that they damp them down so much that the creosote cannot be burned off. You need a "clean" wide open burn every so often. You can not make a firebox full of wood last 12 hrs. without causing problems. A gas engine will not run right if you restrict the airflow, neither will a wood burner. Mike from Mass.

Foresty.. get yourself a small dehumidifier. I do resin work all year where most people have to stop in the rainy or snowy seasons. I’m able to keep it going with a little bitty dehumidifier! Every few days it needs the cup emptied from all the accumulated water it pulls from the air in my studio. Easy peasy & it brings the humidity from 70, 80 or even 90% down to 20ish%. In your van it would probably do even better bc it’s a smaller space. You know when it’s needing emptied bc it auto clicks off. Just put a note on the dash to remind yourself to dump the cup out before you drive off so it doesn’t spill. Love your videos.. it’s wonderful, especially bc I hate the cold, to see you out there doing things. Even sitting around the fireplace shooting the shit for a while & making a meal👌. Thanks for sharing.. we’ve been hunkered down for so long you are truly a big breath of fresh air 🙌💯💯💯

I had another that had a nightlight at the bottom over the water tray - can’t remember what brand now & I gave it away bc I wanted an air filtering model without using more space & plug ins for separate unit. Edit: it had a few comments about not being able to get replacement filters. I haven’t had that issue bc other companies offer it as well. The filters last 4 or 5 months so far👌

You'll be able to see creosote building up way before it ends up being a problem since you take it apart so much. You can get a chimney brush off Amazon for a few bucks that you can run through every month or so, they are sized for a particular chimney diameter. Just make sure to get a poly brush, not a steel one. The steel brushes are for brick chimneys and will scratch up your chimney wall (which helps new creosote build up).

You should cut the paneling that's within that wooden square you just cut out and put fireproof insulation under that alu sheet. Not only will it up the fire proof rating, but also insulate that whole portion. If you do this, let the insulation hang over the sheet of metal, over the wood, and screw it in, then cut the excess with a sharp knife OR run it over the wood with a piece of trim. That way, the wood is 100% outside the reach of heat and cannot get accessed by any fire.

Don't worry too much about the flue issue, as you said, you'll have to look at it every time you take it off and put it on. Wood seasons without having to be dry or undercover. As long as its dead a while, a season for small stuff, a couple for bigger stuff, you'll be ok. It just needs to be off the ground to stop it staying damp. A dead tree connected to the ground will be wetter than one snapped off or fully blown down and ripped out. I've cut trees that had obviously been dead a long while, but they were full of water and had to be seasoned almost as long as a fresh felled one! Do keep an eye on stuff, but don't let the worryers impart their fears on you. Keep up the good work mate. Love your style.

Yes sir I’ve just left spending about 8-9 days in the Death Valley region and it’s a beauty this time of year, a lot of roads I had to turn back on with my RAV4 he’d eat up with the 4x4 cargo van

The desert sounds tempting! It's been 20 years since I've been to death valley.

Bud did you watch the video ? At one point he says he’s heading south in a couple weeks.

I have contemplated living like that but I highly doubt that I would make it one month. Thanks for the great videos!
