You should teach home economics; backwoods edition. When you whip out the sewing machine we know we are no longer in Kansas. 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.

Foresty I've no doubt you will look back on these years of your life as some of, if not they best years of your life. I travelled 20,000 miles across land throughout Europe between 2015-2020 and it fills me with glee when I reflect back on the experiences I had. When I watch your videos I get a little reminder of what it was like to truly live the free life and to travel without restrictions. You really are living it large and keeping the spirit of travel alive in your KZbin channel. Thank you and stay safe out there :)

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.

Just messed up a crucial exam for a course in my computer science minor. Multiple all nighters in the past week studying... this could end up making me fail the course, therefore delaying the completion of my minor for another year. Let alone the wasted $ on a course I probably won't pass. Feel so down on myself. I knew the content, had everything right in front of me and just wrote a bad test. Couldn't focus, mind was racing, couldn't remember simple concepts, and the worst.... i immediately remembered everything right when i finished. But hey, at least theres a foresty forest video waiting for me. Your videos are always a source of comfort, even in the most stressful and bad times. Your videos are greatly appreciated, and mean a lot to your viewers. Love from Toronto !

Hey Foresty, usually there are people selling firewood in small communities. Not the ones that live near campsites. But places selling full cords of quality hardwood. Once you found a good network of em you can load up super cheap. Maybe even buy 1/2 a cord and ask if you can keep it stored there Cheers.

Van renovation, cooking. sewing, car (van) mechanics and a whole raft (please excuse the pun) of outdoorsy craft that you achieve so effortlessly. If you weren't such a nice guy, I'd probably have to hate you a bit because I'm totally rubbish at pretty much everything! Anyway, keep the amazing content coming.

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 🙌💯💯💯

For my little studio it’s amazing.. it’s around 10’ x 14’ space (heel to toe lol) It has a small hepa filter but it can run without it to collect even more moisture. Either way it’s a nice thing. 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👌

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.

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).

Still new to things, but preventing creosote and a stove from building up can be prevented with a preheat. Often burning just a sheet of paper in the stove before getting the fire going can heat the flute enough

I was an aero space mechanic we measured everything 3 times just to be sure no exceptions it seemed to work out perfect it seems you can be wrong twice but the third time is usually the charm

FF don't listen to the crap about pine creating more creosote than hardwood, that's a myth, you are absolutely correct it's the moisture content that is the key factor in reducing creosote and getting nice hot fires, and with that being the case one of the best types of wood you can find in the bush that will have the lowest moisture content is "Beetle kill" Lodgepole pine. Research it yourself, the way that tree dies from the blue bacteria the beetle introduces into the outer layer of the tree prevents the moisture absorbed through the roots of the tree from going up the trunk and into the branches of the tree and essentially the tree dies by desiccation. Look for standing dead trees where the tree has been dead long enough the needles have already turned gray, if the needles are still orange the tree will likely have > 25% moisture content. Idealy you want the wood you burn in your stove to have < 20% moisture content. Trees that have already fallen on the ground generally have higher moisture content than standing dead trees because of their proximity to the ground and the fact that they are exposed to and receive more moisture from the rain and snow. I repeat, look for standing dead beetle kill lodgepole pine with gray needles, they will be the ones that have been dead the longest and dried (seasoned) the most. Get that moisture meter and you can test everything you cut yourself, you will see what Im saying is the truth.

Also, by burning properly dry wood the glass on your wood stove will stay cleaner and not get black so fast.

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.

Yaaay!!...So Good & Happy to see & hear you are all good!!... Was worried if you had got stuck on one of those roads in B.C. that had landslides or washouts...No worries about taking some downtime, you deserve it!!... Totally get it when laptops/internet etc become technically challenged as I too have been experiencing the same on & off for many, many months...Can't wait to see what is coming next, but take all the time needed for yourself!! Cheers to you & your fam!!

Hey Foresty, I thought I remembered you said you might head south this winter now that the border is open. Death Valley is nice this time of year with miles and miles of off roading. A little change of scenery.
