I've been binge watching your cooking, camping and review videos all evening. Loving them! Music is not too loud. Talking volumes are perfect. I like how you talk into the camera like your viewers are right there with you. Sure look forward to seeing more playlists.

[@benterwellen]

Ben, always look forward to your videos, ty for showing the versatility in the stove, showing that it can be used for cooking, also like your reading material, that is a book that we all seem to have.....never tried the backpackers pantry, I will give them a try though.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks brother ;)

[@themiwoodsman7222]

looks like its really doing a good job with anything you throw at it !

[@MITimberwookie]

That is a smooth set up Ben. Great for all sorts of outings.

[@livingsurvival]

MI Timberwookie For sure..it would heat up a shanty nice too.

[@OH8STN]

This was one of your best videos. Somehow I forgot for a moment that I was here in Finland, and felt like a was camping there with you. I enjoy much of your content, but you've really got something with this, and your last video. Final thought: Respect! I didn't realise that you're referring to Fahrenheit when you mentioned the temperature! Excellent! I'm adding you to my featured channels list!

[@livingsurvival]

Yeah like -10c

[@livingsurvival]

***** Awesome brother...tell them LS sent you ;)-

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Nice review! Certainly makes me want to buy one... Thanks so much!

[@rubysadventures5954]

These are the best sort of videos real life testing not on a bench.

[@livingsurvival]

+1finger reactions i try to do that with all my videos.

[@Watchtower1959]

** Again Perfect ** nuff said. As an advid Outdoorsman myself I have have field tested bushcraft and solo stove products myself . Another toy to my arsenal I will have to field test. Great presentation on your videos.

[@livingsurvival]

+Scott Fici New Yorker thank you.

[@Watchtower1959]

I read a few of these comments and the ones that are negative, trust me in a do or die scenario and they had that stove to stay warm thats exactly what their gonna use, or die.

[@ElkArrow]

Scott Fici New Yorker Exactly. It's 10 degrees, their clothes are soaking wet and they're going to complain about how easily the thing dents? 😂 I think not!

[@Watchtower1959]

lol, exactly how insane.

[@PitFireOutdoors]

Super! dinner looked great! I must have missed the other stove video. I've got to see how this thing to put together! Cheers, Josh

[@livingsurvival]

PitFireOutdoors yeah just go back a video. the stove and shelter are 7lbs total and fit into almost any pack.

[@TRprepper]

Very nice stove, I'd would have to have one of those if camping in that weather.

[@livingsurvival]

***** Right, perfect for that.

[@grillsandaxlegrease3578]

Hey man - you sound just like Robert Vaughn.. Thanks for the great video. I think I'll but one of these for our South Dakota/Nebraska bushcraft outings.

[@John_BP]

Awesome camera angle, make me feel like i'm sitting there with you.

[@davidspassage]

That sure looks like an awesome stove. Thanks for sharing.

[@livingsurvival]

David's Passage Thanks for the comment and watching. Enjoying it for sure.

[@PREPFORIT]

Good to know ! Glad you are doing another vid in that shelter. My eyes are buggin outta my head looking online for a 4 season tent ...one or two person bivy maybe ...........! Thanks .

[@nickfree46]

Thats a great little stove, thanks for sharing.

[@livingsurvival]

nick freeman thanks for watching and the comment.

[@galewesterman9521]

I enjoy your videos! Who makes the teepee that houses the stove?

[@Jeepollllllo]

Great setup nice stove. Thanks Ben olllllllo

[@livingsurvival]

From Urban to Country Homestead Thanks.

[@DarrenCharron]

These stoves are awesome I checked out there site and am thinking about purchasing one I am going to contact them it get's up to -40 to - 50 here in the winter. I see they have changed up the stoves based on your review. Thank you for posting the video.

[@livingsurvival]

+Darren Charron good to know, I'll check their site out to see the changes.

[@live4wild968]

That is a nice set-up my friend.

[@livingsurvival]

***** Thanks as always.

[@acet7]

man that birch bark lights up quick.

[@livingsurvival]

acet7 Love birch bark, that charred punk wood, and fatwood is my favorite.

[@teleotto]

Is that the large or xl version? Any thoughts after long term use? Great video!

[@nickjenks100]

Looks like a cool stove! And for a while now I've wanted to try the mountain house Chill Mac, or what ever it's called. Lol

[@livingsurvival]

Nick Jenks They are tasty. Much better than MRE's.

[@MountainRaider]

very nice video!that stove is great!

[@livingsurvival]

mountainman Thanks man!

[@Cands528]

That is one awesome stove. Good video.

[@livingsurvival]

Stanley Sprow Thanks for watching, I am liking it more and more with each use.

[@jeeper999999]

Great video. How we'll is the stovepipe sealed? In the video I thought I could see flames at the back of the pipe every now and then.

[@livingsurvival]

jeeper999999 Hmm...I didn't see any flames coming out but you can see the fire through the cracks from time to time. It is sealed as good as it can be since it is a takedown model and as long as your heat is drawing up the pipe it is good enough for this purpose. It wasn't made to be expedition quality like a fourdog stove but also doesn't have the nearly quadruple pricetag and extreme weight :)- Thanks for watching.

[@MrOldclunker]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Earthman24111]

You may have already answered, but what brand or supplier of stove did you choose? Thanks.

[@clips4165]

I like the tipi, and that stove looks so warm, but how do you vent the pipe to the outside?

[@livingsurvival]

Clips there is a stove jack made for a stove to vent.

[@baseballman74]

Backpackers country meals contains less sodium than the MH meals... For that reason MH taste better? Love your set up~ how much was the stove?

[@IndependenceOverland]

I do appreciate this video. Good to learn about these things before buying, I’m in between selling my Seek Outside medium for an SXL or a LO 18”. This video helps. Thank you. Liking and subscribing.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks.

[@stephenanderson2318]

What can you do to keep the smoke from coming out around the flute pipe at the place where the pipe goes through the stove? I have this set up and the same tent. I got it both after watching your video. Love the setup except where the flute pipe and the stove come together. I'm sure there's a way to fix this problem. got any ideas?

[@livingsurvival]

you shouldn't have any smoke coming out if you have proper updraft. leave both vents open full until you heat up the stove enough to close them down a bit.

[@igork1704]

Hello Living Survival, how long did the stove last?

[@amycrafts2012]

Hi. I have the black steel tent stove, made like that but heavier and maybe a little bigger. It has a rack-like handle that folds down flat to be a cooking surface and place to hang wet gloves, socks, etc. Yours is too light to have that attached, I would think, but you could take a long grate of some sort and put across the top to have a flat cooking surface. If it was longer than the "reach" of the heat, you could stack up wood to be the end supports. That teepee is great. How long does it take you to put it up and take it down? Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@livingsurvival]

+amycrafts2012 their new version has solid support bars across the top.

[@tamaguy721]

Great vid Ben, thats a pretty "smooth" set up.

[@livingsurvival]

tamaguy721 "Smoothing it" for sure!

[@TaylorsAuthenticTraditions]

What brand and model hot tent is this? Sgi

[@wjf213]

This is why I watch all your videos, even if it looks like it's some thing I may not be interested in. You don't just answer the questions, you do a follow up video when needed, and you do a great job. Thanks. I bet if you moved that kettle closer to the front of the stove, it wouldn't even make a small dent, because of the front is supported by the round door frame. The rear, while hotter, is not supported by anything and has a hole for the stove pipe. I bet if they took a slightly heavier sheet of TI, or maybe even just the same stuff used in the stove now, and rolled it to where it would fit over the assembled stove, and under the cables and it just covered from say 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock, it would add the needed strength to keep the stove from deforming at all. Heck I bet you could make some thing out of sheet metal that would work too, but I know it wouldn't look as nice and add more weight. It would be a nice add on if some one wanted to pay a little extra. Either way it works and works VERY well. Keep up the great work.

[@livingsurvival]

wjf213 I did play around with it a bit but more towards the front would be on the turnbuckles and I figured it may not heat up as fast with less contact. Either way you could certainly do two pots at once. I have a small skillet that could be used for eggs/bacon while boiling water on the rear with the kettle. I will have to try it. Also, I am thinking when I roll it up tight for storage any larger dings would come out. The smaller dings and dents don't bother me as with anything else just battle wounds :)-

[@Liteoutdoors1]

I've been experimenting with placing 2 titanium rods which rest on the end plates. If you place a pot on these titanium rods I'm hoping it will take some of the weight off of the foil. Good idea on placing an extra layer on the top. Im also looking into using a thicker titanium foil for the bodies of the stove. Thanks for the input!

[@livingsurvival]

LiteOutdoors wjf213 I cooked on it using a MSR quick skillet on the front to brown sausage and then cook an egg scramble and it worked perfect and fast while still heating water on the rear. Works fine.

[@ElkArrow]

Ben, can you set up a stove like this in front of a tarp or in the vestibule of a tent? If so, how well would the shelter be heated?

[@livingsurvival]

Without an enclosure it would most likely not be very efficient at all.

[@goingtothecoast]

Great video, I'm seriously considering getting one of these, so did the dents from the pot straighten out, or was it permanently dented ?

[@livingsurvival]

Dennis Wyatt It comes out a bit when you re-roll it up but gets dinged and dented. Doesn't bother me, just makes it easier the second time :)

[@mikeallen3714]

Where can u order these stoves from I have been unable to locate one

[@mathewalves5203]

What are some of the Ultra light backpacking tents that would go with that stove? Nice video, good job

[@livingsurvival]

Mathew Alves Well, mostly tipis are what I would use due to the height. There are a few military surplus shelters but heavy. You can put a stove jack into any tent but again just gotta get a feel for the spacing. This was the lightest setup I could find, tipi and stove and that was my goal.

[@jeffclark7685]

What kind of material is around the chimney to not burn the tent? Thanks for the vid great!

[@livingsurvival]

Jeff Clark Not sure exactly. It comes with the SeekOutside tipis but I know you can do-it-yourself. Maybe google it.

[@jeffclark7685]

Thanks I sometimes forget there are resources to look this stuff up. Thanks again I'll be looking for one!

[@rfjohns1]

The worthy of the pan could break any spot welds holding on the exhaust sleeve. Maybe a light weight folding grill that straddles the stove would work

[@benjamineda]

Hi does it not burn the tent on the top ( what protection did you have on the top where tent roof comes in contact with the chimney or pipe) can the pipe withstand strong wind as this is very light?

[@bodybalancer]

Yeah I've have this question too. What kind of venting materials can be used on & around the flu pipe?? In case you don't have a teepee tent like yours built for it...

[@jayboog5000]

bodybalancer you add whats called a "stove jack" its a sew in accessory

[@thepocketshot9116]

That stove is awesome! makes us want one. Thanks for taking the time to do a field test on it. Does the top of the exit pole get hot where it leaves the tent?

[@livingsurvival]

The Pocket Shot The whole thing gets hot yes, don't accidentally ram your forehead into it or it will melt. Thankfully my hat took the pain. :)

[@thepocketshot9116]

Living Survival lol..BTW your new avatar is awesome. Looks just like you.

[@albatross497]

Ill have to check those stoves out!

[@livingsurvival]

***** DO IT!

[@jimmycastillo3702]

looks nice i love it

[@livingsurvival]

+Jimmy Castillo thanks.

[@goliathmann3286]

Hi ...Just a small tip, Put some sand in the bottom of the stove . it will last longer

[@bryangarner1852]

brill little stove have you tried cooking bacon under neth the stove if there is enough clearance just a thought very good video

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Save those bags, reusable Mylar! Poor people like me have to cut the pennies anyway we can lol I had to fast forward through the fire lighting, that squealing noise gave me chills. UUUGH. But yeah that stove is awesome, first time I seen one was your last video.

[@livingsurvival]

Device Unknown LOL

[@reikilynx653]

What kind of teepee is that you have?

[@FlashGeiger]

In cold weather I'd definitely cozy that pouch when it's rehydrating rather than putting it on the snow. Just sticking it in my hat would help as long as you didn't need your hat just then. Looks like a nice stove. Have you looked at Titanium Goat?

[@livingsurvival]

FlashGeiger Good tip on the meal although I knew I was going to eat it right away and it was plenty warm enough. I have looked at the goats but never played with one.

[@tdrnkr]

How do you clean the ash out? Do you have to take the thing apart?

[@livingsurvival]

+tdrnkr just pop off the pipe and dump the box out. very easy. titanium cools down really fast so its not an issue.

[@FireFighter1374]

How is the build quality . Still works without any problems, replaced any parts etc? Good video..

[@livingsurvival]

+Andy Skoggy i haven't used it since last winter but their new version has a larger door and solid rods across the top as I suggested. still a great stove.

[@Vorg66]

Liked and subbed, excellent review!

[@livingsurvival]

M3RJ Thanks for stopping by and the sub.

[@FiciousCritik]

2 Questions: 1-What do you use to remove the ashes? 2-What model is your Leatherman? I recently bought the (big) Surge; it's heavy. But I keep it in my car, not for EDC.

[@livingsurvival]

Timothy Kantak it takes a while before you have to worry about the ashes, but it is simple enough to pop off the stove pipe and take it outside the shelter to dump them. Leatherman was a wave I believe.

[@Bikepacking]

have you used it for cooking dont mean heating water thanks looking at this stove for cooking

[@antoniosousa447]

where did you get that little leather pouch

[@livingsurvival]

+AJ Sousa wolfe customs

[@Rocky1765]

Would love to see a video of setup and packing up the stove. =)

[@livingsurvival]

***** Just go back one video...

[@Rocky1765]

Living Survival thanks

[@michaeldaury5485]

Damn good job on the spoon no shit man perfect. Hey why didn't you clear the snow away before you but the tent up anyway Great video I wish I had the balls to to this in the cold. Maybe I'll watch you do it a few times before I give it a try lol good stuff keep em comin

[@livingsurvival]

Michael Daury Took much work, lol. It tends to melt away and dry anyway or in the bush you could use pine boughs etc to make a floor. I used a mylar type blanket under my wool blanket but as it heated up and cooled it got too slippery so I ditched the mylar and just put my wool blanket right on the snow. Yes, I only had a few inches of snow but you surely couldn't clear it all out or wouldn't want to with feet of snow on the ground.

[@kennethcaloun5138]

looks like the heater i built in England wile i was there for 3 years in the USAF made it out of a coffee can and some soup cans to conect to the chimnee

[@livingsurvival]

kenneth caloun That's awesome.

[@kennethcaloun5138]

yep used wood and was and alcohal in the rocket heater lol worked grate

[@Thalanox]

Is there a video that shows this stove being dismantled?

[@livingsurvival]

probably on their website.

[@andrewbarlet8403]

What is the make&model of that tent.

[@livingsurvival]

seek outside 4-man tipi.

[@danascully3591]

Quick Question Again: Assuming you take 'appropriate' care of the stove, how long would you figure it will stay in working condition? Lovin' the videos, its why I sub'ed!

[@livingsurvival]

Quite a long time since it is titanium.

[@FrogBoy138]

Living Survival It's Ti other then the end plates right?

[@Liteoutdoors1]

The stove will last for years if taken care of. Also, if something gets dented beyond repair, its easy to swap out for a new piece.

[@dazoomcat]

Love the tent, but it would be nice if it had a floor.

[@livingsurvival]

You can get a floor as an option, also a bug nest. In winter and especially with a stove no floor for me ;)-

[@livingsurvival]

[@TJackSurvival]

Love the titanium stoves.

[@livingsurvival]

ford fairlane LiteOutdoors

[@waynepowell7743]

important question. can I place strips of bacon directly onto the top of the stove or will the titanium poison me?

[@livingsurvival]

+wayne powell you could but i'd use a few green pieces of wood with the bark stripped.

[@waynepowell7743]

do you prefer this stove to the seek outside one?

[@MrWinger1951]

Since titanium doesn't transfer heat as well as steel, isn't there a large amount of heat loss up the chimney? Titanium is certainly lighter and that would be a benefit compared to a stainless steel stove. How does this model compare to the SeekOutside stove?

[@livingsurvival]

MrWinger1951 The seek outside is a square shape and not round so not quite as packable but similar in weight at just over 3lbs for the seek outside and pipe. My goal here was ultimate packability and weight. Not sure on the heat thing but it sure is efficient and really heats this shelter up fast.

[@Liteoutdoors1]

I can comment on the titanium transfer thing. Titanium is less heat conductive than stainless steel. What that means, is that instead of absorbing and "holding on" to the heat, the heat will pass right through the stove and into your tent (more efficient). Stainless will absorb more heat, and reflect heat back into the stove, which means more heat lost up the chimney (less efficient). The biggest downside to titanium is the cost.

[@livingsurvival]

Great info, thanks *****

[@Liteoutdoors1]

***** Stainless steel is about twice the weight of titanium of the same thickness.

[@tonyquartermain8610]

Just watched your video first burn in your stove not sure if you are supposed to let that burn before you bringing in the tent I really don't know. comment section is off why? Just want to say vid was done well. Thanks for doing the review.

[@livingsurvival]

Tony Quartermain Not sure why you couldn't comment. The burn in is to let the materials settle and shape.

[@Joker52186]

Warw did you get the tipi

[@livingsurvival]

***** Seek Outside

[@Ayrton4everrr]

Great gadget, the only downside is that it doesn't have a bottom door to clean all that ash without disasambling it.

[@nerys71]

Wow wicked cool stove. Ouch wicked painful price too!! it is pretty damned neat though.

[@livingsurvival]

+Nerys actually that is a super price. have you looked into fourdog? almost $1000.

[@nerys71]

+Living Survival thwt does not make this price super this price is still nuts that just makes the other price flat out insane.

[@kevinolesik1500]

+Nerys how much is the stove ?

[@nerys71]

+Kevin Olesik $205 to $365

[@talusranch990]

Great video, makes me want to do same

[@rainbowsalads]

would be great if the company made a kettle that had a curved bottom for more surface contact.

[@rainbowsalads]

i wonder if a half pipe welded to the bottom of the kettle would increase the efficiency?

[@techstyle123]

Sub from me stove looks cool can I ask whats the flint thing you started the fire with looks great set up that.

[@livingsurvival]

[@MrDieseltwitch]

are you in your backyard? them are some big pieces of wood for being in the back country? Heck I have trouble even getting wood because trees are normal so full of snow that as soon as you touch them you're in danger of being buried by snow, no joke, people have died in tree wells up here

[@livingsurvival]

+Brian A (DieselTwitch) this was wood I had on hand.

[@funshootin1]

this is some high speed lo drag shit ! I gotta have one...saw the website has diy components..saves 80 bucks cutting in my own door/vent and nutserts for leg mounts..reasonable imo.

[@livingsurvival]

+funshootin1 right you are dead on. i was going for weight and weight only. i was pleasantly surprised by the quality as well. works great.

[@raymondbailey1970]

a flat piece of aluminium with a hole for the chimney and just flat in front would probly hold for cooking on nice review mate thumbs up.

[@livingsurvival]

raymond bailey it seems to work fine just on the top but yes that would most likely work too. thanks for the comment.

[@bodybalancer]

Dope.

[@MrDieseltwitch]

Im debating between this stove and the one that you can get with the tent from seek.... Both are Ti This one just look cooler lol

[@livingsurvival]

+Brian A (DieselTwitch) I have both. Pros and Cons of both.

[@MrDieseltwitch]

+Living Survival can you do a side by side video?

[@AntiqueMeme]

+Living Survival I agree. Make a side by side comparison.

[@kevinolesik1500]

wow , i think a hobo could live a pretty good life in that teepee with the stove ... you could probably make a stove like that out of a stovepipe ...

[@livingsurvival]

+Kevin Olesik yep.

[@rich1051414]

Shouldn't there be some more thermal mass to heat food and water efficiently? I guess you could just leave a cast iron stand, for a pot, sitting on the stove to hold heat for cooking later, to be a bit more effecient in both fuel and cook time.

[@livingsurvival]

+Richard Smith true. cooking isn't the first attribute i was looking for here, weight was. being able to cook on it is a cool bonus.

[@TheOnlySaneAmerican]

Seems like that would indent the top of your stove.

[@livingsurvival]

+BelligerentTruth Oh yeah it totally does but I figured it would and totally ok with that. it actually works better being more flat :)

[@amistosophoto]

i realize that its meant to be portable, but that sure sucks how flimsy it seems. But i suppose in a situation where you need warmth, that stove seems like its perfect. I'd just hate to spend so much money on it and have it dent up so easily.

[@livingsurvival]

most titanium stoves are flimsy but actually really strong.

[@bittidude]

I just dont get why all ppl use firesteel to ligt their fires these days, its so much easier to use matches or a lighter. I have a firesteel always with me but its my back up. Lighter fails, try matches. Matches fail then the fire steel comes in. Always 3 ways to make a fire with me, lighter in my pocket, matches in waterproof bag, fire steel on knife sheath

[@robinconkel-hannan6629]

If it's nice and warm, why th hat, coat and snow.? Snow means 32% or less.. ..... Those meals are good but I prefer to make my own.. I dehydrate just about everything and put my own meals together using my home recipes.. They are tasty, easy, inexpensive, light weight, nutritious, chem free and fun.. Since I pack them in vacuum/ boil-in bags I can rehydrate and eat from th same bag.. I put th used bag in a zipper bag until I can ditch it.. Th trash weighs almost nothing and is extremely compact.. I carry a variety of plastic zipper bags, they are useful for so many things.. I really hate using so much plastic but I don't know what else will what plastic does.. ..... What if you catch a rabbit or squirrel.? How much weight can th stove top handle.? It would suck to have one stove for cooking and another for heat..

[@livingsurvival]

Robin Conkel-hAnnan I'd like to start making my own as well. you don't have to use two stoves, this one can cook and heat. it is what it is for a super lightweight and super portable option which is what I set out to accomplish. is there better, of course.

[@davidhopper5115]

That stove is a piece of garbage!

[@livingsurvival]

+David Hopper how so? their improved version is even better.

[@davidhopper5115]

+Living Survival It's a flimsy pop can. You can see all the air gaps in the stove. I would not feel safe sleeping and using that for a heat source. I am surprised it doesn't collapse when it's filled with wood.
