In the final part of the trilogy on my experiment in put a pellet wood stove in a fiberglass eggshell camper, I actually test it out in the frozen wilds of a Canadian winter. Although it provided lots of heat, it also had a few challenges!

I have cut the wood and heated my home with wood for 46 years and really appreciate Slims very thorough and thoughtful pellet stove installation, but not giving it a thought for my small camper. My wife would probably leave me. The scene of Slim barreling through the snow and his camper doing a power slide made me gasp. This is why I have been coming here for over three years now. Way to go O Guru.

The one thing that I never regretted was keeping a garden spade in my car in the winter. It SEEMS terrible for shoveling snow, but digging a car out of compacted and heavy snow, there's nothing better in the world for that.
@wildbill23c
@wildbill23c 3 жыл бұрын
I do the same. Haven't had to use it to dig myself out but nice to have just in case. Mine doesn't have a regular length handle on it though, it has a shorter handle with a d-handle on the end of it...great for digging, but yet a bit more compact, still a full size spade just shorter handle. I carry an axe, and a mattock as well in my camp box that stays in the truck all the time.

Those foldable camping shovels are well suited, as well. The metal ones, kind of military style, that can lock into a "hoe" position. You can reach under and chip away at the compacted snow under your car from the side, then. I've lived in deep snow territory for about 30 years now, I won't go anywhere without one.

Hey Slim! I've been "SP deprived' for 5 months now as my husband and I have been staying in our off grid, remote northern cabin (think Yukon) since the end of September and don't have internet there, and spotty cell service. I'm going to enjoy catching up. So much of what we have learned in the last 20 years of cabin life has rolled over into our RV life. I am so tempted to install a Cubic Mini Woodstove in my little motorhome this spring, and sure appreciate the info in your woodstove videos. Thanks for sharing!-Susan

Today's SP episode had me remembering my youth. For a while now, I have I was thinking about Slim's great style of narration and finally it dawned on me who else from the past had a very similar, calm demeanor and easygoing style when on camera. Anyone else remember Marlin Perkins on the original Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? Slim, we love the way you " deliver the goods" and leave us smiling and happy after each adventure you share.

And thst's why I wrote that some (a lot?) never used their common sense. I was thinking of people that believe that one should follow leaders and guidelines only, and not think if it's reasonable. And the other is people not knowing their own limitations. And of course, one can say that if a person have the ability for common sense but cannot use it, then they don't have it... I think my point was that I wish more people to cultivate their common sense, but I guess it's hard if you never get any new input/feedback. (English's not my first language)

I like your stove. I have experimented with many stove designs primarily for use in ice huts tho I now have built a massive brick stove in my home using the principles learned. Some suggestions; 1) make a wind vane cap for your chimney, 2) use a "T" where you use an elbow on your outside chimney, you can cap the bottom of it if you want and drill some holes to allow drainage or just leave it open. Both of these will help with back draft problems. 3) wrap your external chimney in another piece of pipe of the same diameter, or larger if you want to insulate it with say mineral wool, and this will help with your creosote problems as it will help keep the flue gasses warm. Most of my stoves were based on the rocket stove principle such that fresh air intake is thu the hopper, not thru the door. I don't remember how well this worked with pellets but it should, as gasifiers use the same principle. Your poke stick works well, a shaker might work better. oh, and I assemble my chimneys opposit to yours such that all drainage stays in the flu, this does not hurt and I have yet to notice smoke leaking from the joints. Hope you find something useful here. Thanks for your chronicles, I do enjoy them. Happy travels pilgrim.

I love your shows very much. The landscape and photography are stunning. The ideas you come up with are fascinating to me. And, I would never second guess you. You are an expert at planning and testing your ideas and it’s so fun to watch your process. And to top it off, you have an awesome sense of humor. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us.

Another video to love! So many aspects of this one are stellar! My favorite of all has to be renaming Dennis Hopper to Dennis the Menace - LOL, such entertainment! Really appreciate the follow up on the Fat 50 stove, such a great build and build series. Your filming and documenting skills are first rate in my book. So many great comments too, I read at least 200 of them. Many shed light on areas I haven't considered yet - brings me to one of my 3 favorite life lessons, you don't know, what you don't know. Looking forward to your next video SP - I know, you've created an insatiable "appetite" in your subscribers, and no amount of "bad" cooking is going to detract us from wanting more!

The ole wood stove is doing a great job! I liked the video of the creek or river. Looked so clear under the ice and the water was moving fast. Stay safe out there Slim.

You are too funny with the opening:” you will die” concerns. I am so amazed at how you tuck yourself into the woods. I have seen other videos of using wood stoves within even a small type of SUV with a young lady in Japan. She lowered her window and a setup with wood that holds the “stove pipe” to vent out. It was amazing to see her put wood in it. OF course, this was something she did while awake and then had an electric blanket to another source. Amazing to see each of you that travel or live off the grid. Wow it heated up fairly quicly. Seems that you got toasty really quick! Now you can boil water for tea/coffee or even cook on it. Great work.

I am glad i found you. I mean I have watched your whole library and have been keeping up. I really enjoy the wood stove videos even though I opt for your #4 camping in warmer climates. I live in AZ and have no want to camp in the Pacific North Wet, but I sure do enjoy watching you guys do it. It is really pretty and serene. My favorite is your answers to just about everything. Your budget fixes are super fun. Keep it up! Thanks for the videos.

I grew up sawing and chopping wood for fires ~ the concept that you can create this much heat from 2 gallons of pellets is still so foriegn to me 🤔🔥⚡🌐😲 I really appreciate all the thought you put into your design @Slim Potatohead ~ It has inspired me to experiment with my resources to possibly create pellet hopper systems for my various stoves 🤓⚡🌐🤠🔥👍

A couple of weeks ago, we had a winter storm, we had mostly freezing rain, the power went out, so we got to camp at home. The natural gas fireplace kept us warm, and the natural gas stove helped keep us fed and sufficiently hydrated with coffee and tea. We did realize the need to either grind coffee ahead of time, or pick up a hand grinder. We went outside and loaded up a bowl with ice to keep food cold in the refrigerator. We had to rough it, because the power was off long enough to run the call towers out of battery power. Oh, the humanity! We went 3 days without power, but there are some who haven't had their power restored yet.
