Living in a Winter Survival Shelter - Buddy Heater & Carbon Monoxide

[@dougevans6389]

That was turkey tracks! You should get you a small wood heater!! Great heat and you can cook on it!

[@offgridwarrior]

Turkey indeed. Working on a wood heat solution. Thanks for your comment.

[@jprice21144]

A rather large Tom Turkey very stringy

[@bad-dogz]

Hope you read this. I have been using this exact heater in my 32' fifth wheel motorhome for 2 winters now. Furnace died and cost more than worth to fix. Your issue is not carbon monoxide. It's lack of ventilation. Try hanging the heater from a metal coat hanger about half way down in door. Then move your fan to top of door blowing in. This will force air in and bring heated fresh air down to you and the stale air will go out the bottom of door. Keep in mind people have been using propane appliances in their homes for a long time. My motorhome has a detector and never has gone off, except when I ran a hose from truck tailpipe into motor home (Testing purposes only). So I know it works. Propane burns clean, but does need oxegen to burn. Hope this helps. Also keep in mind that heater throws heat in all directions, not just straight out. I keep mine on edge of counter so it doesn't heat the counter.

[@offgridwarrior]

Hi kaboch - Thanks for your comment. I believe your observations are all correct... clearly my issue was a ventilation/airflow issue. Ill consider perhaps hanging heater in door way. Keep well.

[@offgridwarrior]

Hi Jim. I like the buddy heater too, I've used a couple over the years. My setup is not the typical indoor situation, I believe this heater is safe just not the way I was using it. Keep well.

[@wonderoushistoryofclassicf9193]

If you had a way to open up the top and get a small camp stove that might be a bit better in terms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning compared to the propane heater but I'm not sure. You did honestly too good of a job sealing that sucker up so I don't know what the ideal solution is for that particular issue. Either way good on ya for being smart about getting that carbon monoxide detector.

[@Joe-kb1sm]

New sub. Many would think those were turkey tracks, but I know the fearsome Mountian Alligator track when I see it. Looks like between a 9 or 10 footer for sure. 400 pounds folks ?? I've had an exact copy of that heater for a long time, maybe I should use it this winter. That shelter looks to be good for the winter, best of luck.

[@marjiecleveland]

Turkey tracks. Meat looks like rabbit to me. Thanks for the heater review. Always best to have a detector. Safety is #1!

[@Riverrockphotos]

I love my Mr. Heater I run it all the time in my pop up trailer in the Winter no problems. But I do have a little ventillation going on.

[@offgridwarrior]

I believe ventilation is the key. Stay well.

[@slc308]

1. Turkey track 2. Rabbit. It wasn't dark enough to be squirrel 3. Complete combustion of propane results in the formation of carbon dioxide and water vapour. Carbon monoxide is a by-product of combustion when there is not enough oxygen to burn the propane completely. That being said you might want to see if you can adjust your fuel air mix. 4. Where are you located for the winter (state or country?). I'm a new subscriber. Just trying to catch up

[@jasond6770]

Thanks for testing that Buddy heater and letting us know the results. I know a lot of van dwellers rely on that kind of heat source.

[@BlackKnight_755]

A 4 to 6 inch vent low on one end and same size vent up high on the other end and problem is solved. Ideally, the low vent should be close to where you want to have your heater so that it can warm the cold air and have access to the oxygen enriched air coming in the vent. Great video, stay well.

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

I use a heater buddy in a 4x8 teardrop trailer. Always have my windows cracked at least an inch but I run it for 15 mins before bed and it gets up to around 70°f , then shut it off. Once im warmed up , im good till morning. 😊

[@offgridwarrior]

Hi shewolf - Agreed, wood heat is preferable. Depending on propane for heat was never my first option, I am either going to build something or I may end up getting a tiny wood stove. Thanks for your question, stay well.

[@smiler1231000]

Whether burning gas,wood,coal,diesel etc a CO meter is essential especially in confined spaces - what price do you put on your life? What about a small wood stove with a back-boiler ? You could cook on it, heat a small radiator or towel rail to dry clothes and easily heat water to bathe. If installed properly it could be gravity-fed, so no need for a pump to circulate the water.

[@offgridwarrior]

Thank for your comment smiler... sounds like a good idea but a little too invoved for my little space. keep well

[@timbo4374]

Turkey tracks, skinned rabbit..looks to big to be a squirrel, so rabbit would be my guess..if it is a squirrel, you grow them big there. You should buy one of those small portable wood stoves..you would obviously need to make room for it, maybe even extend your shelter, and vent it, but they work great, and being vented, no carbon monoxide worries.You can even cook on them, boil water, etc. Just a thought..you may be not wiling to make a space for it. Sure beats freezing your butt off on those very cold nights though. Maybe enclose your porch area and put it there? Depending on the amount of wood you throw in it, it can generate a ton of heat. Suit yourself, but if you're going to hunker down all winter there, it seems worth the effort to me. Then again, I'm not fond of the cold, lol.

[@offgridwarrior]

You got it Timbo437. Yes, I agree a small wood stove would be better... I am looking into my options. Thank you for your comment, all the best to you.

[@allenmouldey6653]

There is a really small wood heater called a cubic mini. top shelf but it needs to filled about every 3 hours. If I lived there I would have a gun because I could. Great vids and best luck. Greetings from central Canada.

[@offgridwarrior]

Hi Allen. I am aware of the cubic mini stove, would be ideal for my situation... If the stars align I may get my hands on one. Thanks for your comment, all the best to you.

[@ExpediteTravels]

Cool video I used a mr heater buddy in my van I had both of the front windows cracked a couple inches each side my co detector never went off but I had a lot of moisture on the windshield and side windows and some on the exposed metal of the van I believe if I had a fantastic fan or max air fan on the roof I wouldn't have and moisture issues

[@solarfunction1847]

You should look at getting a G-Stove, they are a wood burning mini stove made of stainless steel that can be used in tents etc, well worth it for your situation cause you can cook & heat with it in an enclosed room.

[@charleswalter2902]

Yes, then use that buddy overnight in the doorway to keep from freezing to death.

[@offgridwarrior]

Ill look into it but honestly I have zero budget for this... thanks for your comment. keep well.

[@solarfunction1847]

Even if you can find some scrap steel, turn it into barrel or box that is sealed & buy a cheap chimney pipe that is like 2" or 3" then perhaps you could DIY something. Call on friends to weld it if you need. If you are strapped for cash then there is no need to go out & buy something snazzy, so long as it does what you need & you don't have to spend money on propane.

[@miguelfilo962]

Dude, stop messing around with that heater, & make it a priority to get an average size cast iron wood stove. Then you could seal your shelter, and even cook on top of it. Firewood is everywhere out there. That would be an immediate upgrade to your comfort level.

[@carmineredd1198]

I like the idea of a brick fireplace and chimney that is not mortared , and could have a sandbox beneath the bed/floor area and after evening meal take it apart and place the hot brick on the sand to add warmth or just have six fireplaces along the walls and have a steel frame countertop/cooking area with bricks on top and move only those bricks and mortar the rest . or maybe have brick horizontal tubes as heatsinks . bricks can be had for free

[@michaelmallory6265]

I love seeing your progress! All your videos are GREAT! Keep'em coming! 👍

[@PAPOOSELAKESURFER]

Hot air, including combustion gases, are lighter and go up. A vent on the floor lets cold clean air in and out, but the hot poison gases are trapped above the vent. A roof vent, like on a camper or trailer, readily vents and gets fresh cold air in. The heater instructions say how many square inches of air exchange is recommended.

[@Finwolven]

Carbon monoxide is, fortunately, sufficiently heavier than air that it doesn't get sucked up to the level of that little fan there. But yea, putting a vent _above_ the door, near the peak or something, might let him ventilate enough while also heating up the space.

[@PAPOOSELAKESURFER]

@@Finwolven 1000 degree exhaust gas goes out roof vent and sucks in cold air at the floor if you don't have outside air for combustion. Radiant heat from ceramic burner heats room as waste hot gases vent no problem. Yes it mixes and cools some on the way up so it doesn't melt the vent, no fan required what so ever. Look at smoke outside sometime, it really does go up with burning temperature gases. Vent should be directly over the heater for efficient exhaust, not mixing at the ceiling due to the strong smoke column draw. This is more efficient with a vented stove, the taller smoke stack the greater pull of the hot air on the fire.

[@mattstephens4359]

Honest and real

[@iamthevanavator281]

What about the cheap Chinese Webasto diesel heater knock offs? Chad 🇹🇩 from Living the Van Life loves his that he has in his VW Westphalia. He also had Mr. Buddy that he only ran for a few hours before he went to sleep so he wouldn’t go to sleep permanently. Also it was a huge condensation problem. Those diesel heaters exhaust is vented outside the van, shack, lean to, etc. etc.

[@offgridwarrior]

Ill look into this but honestly wood heat is the way to go... keep it simple and cheap. Thanks for your comment, keep well.

[@iamthevanavator281]

Off Grid Warrior You too. I was thinking of wood heat as well especially in your situation best alternative. Some people even use it who dwell in a van as I sometimes do, but in that application diesel seems to be the way to go.

[@mannihh5274]

Every open flame needs oxygen (CnHm+O2= CO2+H2O), and when there is not enough, will create CO (+H2O). Have you heard about Mors Kochanski's "super shelter"? Clear polyethelene (e.g. drop cloth) is highly permeable to infrared radiation (~98%). If you close the door with PE and run the buddy heater in a safe distance (not melting the PE), it should get toasty warm inside. Give it a try, PE is fairly cheap. Using a plastic tarp as roofing gives you issues with moisture - put 3-4 logs at each side between your walls and the tarp to create an airspace.

[@offgridwarrior]

Thanks for your comment... I'll take a look at PE shelter, sounds intriguing. Keep well.

Scrap that and look into a tiny home woodstove it's the same size works way better and is exhausted outside via small wall vent you could run two and it would be safer and work better plus the offgrid woodstove part

[@donaldliverance2597]

Or a diesel/12 volt system you could charge the battery via solar panel during the day and if you did it right you could have rotation so your never put of battery and your shelter could be house temps for $8 a weekend or there abouts

[@DougCanney1]

I think you could probably use a roof vent to help with that heater. Get a metal, dryer vent, that closes when not circulating and I think you’ll be good. You can use spray foam to insulate around the penetration of the ceiling. You can’t sleep all night with the door open. What about a wood stove? Is that a possibility? Looks like you got plenty of firewood available for free. Really dig the camp though, was that a rabbit or muskrat or what?

[@offgridwarrior]

Hi Doug. Agreed, a vent in the peak is planned. To date I turn heat off, close door and immediately get into sleeping bag. A wood stove is the best way to go going forward, I'm looking at options. Turkey tracks and rabbit hanging in the tree. Thanks for your comment. Stay well.

[@DougCanney1]

Too bad I’m not close by in my touring, I’ve installed many of those roof vents. I would do it for you just so you can have safe heating. All we need is a battery operated saws-all, some caulking and spray foam. I’m sure a woodstove would be awesome, maybe something to think about for next season? I thought that looked like a rabbit! I’m sure you know this, did you know you could starve to death just eating just rabbit? Like I said, big fan, keep those videos coming. Be safe out there.

Over the Christmas to New Years Holiday's I was so lucky to have a red tail hawk just drop the breakfast onto my project from the sky. Fresh meat! Mountain Quail. Only reason the Hawk dropped the prey was due to my efforts of trying to start up an old bulldozer stuck on the main road up to my place. Well, I said thanks to the hawk and ran down to the main ranch house kitchen to clean and prepare this fresh quail for my breakfast. Made up a fresh breading from scratch and soon enough folks gathered in the kitchen due to the smells abounding. Well ended up only getting a small piece cause 1 quail only feeds so many pieces. Sure was good and we all had such a good laugh at the whole story. I have hunted the mountain quails so cleaning one was no problem for me. Some of the hands had never tasted such a delicacy before.

[@matterickson4168]

For each pound of propane you burn, you will produce 1.6 pounds of water. That plus your own respiration is what is condensing on the cold logs.

you said that it took weeks of use for the CO level to rise to 42 ppm, if thats true, you are perfectly safe using it a day at a time, then ventilate some fresh air before the next nights use.

[@offgridwarrior]

Actually I had been using the buddy heater for a few weeks. It was the first night I used the CO2 detector that after approx. an hour of having the heater on I noticed the detector was displaying a reading of 42ppm. Clearly the issue is a ventilation/fresh air issue. Thanks for your comment. Keep well.

I might have just the thing for your heat issue. Just need to figure out a way to get it to you. We tried a buddy heater in our small cabin last winter and our problem was the o2 sensor kept shutting it off. Never got to a carbon monoxide level that was unhealthy.

[@ravenfeather7087]

To my knowledge there has never been a death or illness associated with a Mr Buddy heater. If there has, it has not been widely reported. There must be thirty quadzillion of the things in use and one would think if a single incident had occurred it would be widely known. But, perhaps not. I used my Mr Buddy in Yellowstone at about 8k feet a few years ago and it kept shutting off. So I kept opening the windows a bit at at a time and eventually the ambient DO was apparently sufficient to not trip the low DO sensor. However, by that time the incoming cold air was about equal to the heat being produced by the heater. Pretty much a wash. Which is acknowledged as a weakness of the Mr Heater device. Another weakness is the condensation on interior surfaces which is a result of the fact water vapor is a bi-product of combustion of propane. That incident occurred in a small RV and I have also used it quite extensively in the back of a small pick-up truck with a canopy on it. But, in neither do I leave it on while sleeping. Not because I'm afraid of being carbon-monoxied to death but rather because it simply produces too damn much heat to be comfortable. That and the fact I have an excellent sleeping bag. So excellent that if you were to observe me sleeping in it the first thing you would probably notice would be my feet and lower legs sticking out of it.

[@offgridwarrior]

Hi King. To be honest my situation is not your "typical" indoor situation. The issue is clearly a ventilation/fresh air issue. What do you have in mind for a solution?

[@headsup65]

Kool vid keeps them coming...

[@Rockstar97321]

I question whether carbon monoxide and the lack of oxygen are the only things to consider. I mean, what is left of the propane after it is burned? Are there chemicals added to propane, and if so, what happens to them when they are burned? They can't simply vanish. They have to go out into the air. Burning is a chemical reaction, so what new gasses do they produce and how toxic are they? My dog snorts in disgust when I turn on my propane stove. I trust her judgment, and it confirms my own. I only use propane to cook or heat water in my RV, and I do it at night when it is the coldest. Other than that, I dress warmly. If it gets too cold, my dog and I sleep toasty warm under a thick blanket. I would like to see a comparison between a propane heater and a propane stove. Portable propane heaters usually burn red, and propane stoves burn blue. Blue is hotter than red. It seems to me that the hotter it burns, the more completely it burns. A much better system would be a propane burner with a radiator and fan that can be vented outside. It would be less efficient, but there would be no emissions. That's how a built-in propane heating stove for a house works, and they are about 95% efficient. The walls of a house with a propane cooking stove become sticky with residue from the stove in a few months. That can't be healthy to breathe in. Houses with propane cooking stoves have a very distinctive propane smell. For these reasons, most people with houses powered by propane do not use the propane cooking stove to heat their houses. Finally, propane in a larger refillable tank is much cheaper than propane in those little green bottles.

Ah, Mr Weekend Warrior. I'd personally contact the manufacturer of your heater. Perhaps it's defective. I've used one for many years in conjunction with a detector and have never seen above 0 ppm CO1. Could be my detector of course. But I've also never presented any apparent physical maladies. Or it could be your detector. I did notice that at high altitudes my buddy heater would shut off with low ambient DO concentrations (Yellowstone National Park at about 8K feet). H2O is of course a product of the combustion of propane. Your somnolence? Perhaps a bi-product of being a weekend warrior. And that constant quest for reinventing the wheel which subsequently leads to mental fatigue.

[@thelwq]

That open flame will produce carbon monoxide for sure and if you want to keep your shelter air tight (for obvisous reason) then you should buy a small propade water heater and run this water thru salvaged water cooler from some old truck. Then it will need a fan to pull cold air thru that heat exchanger and push old, used (including CO2!) out. Last thing - a simple thermostat and some kind of battery. I can help you get out of this dangerous situation. It is not expensive. Did you consider a rocketstove? Let me know... Take care.

[@offgridwarrior]

Thanks for your comment and suggestion LWQ. A setup using water would be a problem because if its not running its going to freeze. I originally attempted a rocket stove setup but it turned out a little too large for the space. Wood heat is really the way to go... keep things simple. All the best to you, keep well.

[@thelwq]

@@offgridwarrior - using propane, the system can fire to keep water from freezing. Or if you do not want a hot water source, then you can use a cooling agent used in cars instead of water. It will not freeze and it will also protect the system against water corrosion. A rocket stove can be build to be fed from outside, running hot air into cabin and chimney can be also placed outside - therefore no cold air draft. These two solutions can also deal with extraction used humid air from your cabin, to have proper clean air to breathe. Do you know, that an average man (just sleeping one) can use 10m3 of air to breathe each hour? Take care.

On low, it produces 4000 BTUs per hour + 18000 PPM cubic feet per hour of carbon monoxide. On high it produces 7000 BTUs per hour and only 6000 PPM cubic feet per hour of carbon monoxide.

You should get some bricks and stack up a rocket stove, it use very little woods to cook. Check it out on KZbin.
