Hey ! thanks so much !! I always try to be as honest as I can, even if it makes me look bad haha thanks again !!

Nice seeing Wendell but where’s your wife? I hate seeing you alone

Thank you for keeping it real. What you shared as mistakes will be a teaching moment for those starting out in winter camping.

Cheers from a fellow winter camper from Sudbury Ontario!!

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thanks for checking out my video !

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi James, great video!! Very much enjoyed it! You are right about the damper - It would have solved 2 issues. The burn time for that stove and hardwood should be around 3-4 hours and with the damper the heat from the stove pipe would not have gotten so hot to melt your tent and damage the stove jack. The tent should have only been warm to the touch. I'd recommend getting a Magnetic Stove Thermometer from amazon for about $10 to help you regulate the stove. I've found cheap fire blankets from Amazon work best for stove jacks, just cut them and sew them to the right shape and use high temp RTV to seal the edge around the pipe opening (will show you on my next video 😉). I'd also recommend the TETON Celsius -32c square sleeping bags - they are cheap (but bulky) and work well. Me and Esme sleep in an XXL and a XL version no problems. Also for the wet wood - stack it around the stove to dry it, not so close to be a fire risk but close, you will be surprised how dry it gets in a few hours. Hope some of the tip help - Best wishes Michael & Esme! 🐶

[@Maritimer]

Hey Michael ! thanks for checking out my video, i've been a subscriber of yours for a long time. I have a damper being installed as we speak and my father is building me a new stove jack out of a welders blanket, and it will have a metal collar on it for the stove pipe to pass through. should work much better. I saw those Teton bags on Amazon and wasn't sure how good they are, so thanks for the tips, I appreciate it !! Give Esme a treat and belly rub from Wendell and I.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

@@Maritimer Hi James - Thats great news! I think the difference will be night and day! I recognized the name and that's how I noticed your video! I didn't realize you had a channel! 👍 Ill be watching some of your older videos over the coming days 😉 Wendell is awesome! A great bush buddy I'm sure! The TETON bags are good value but don't expect "Western Mountaineering" quality. I like the -32c models but they are pretty bulky but they are square. I've slept in -20c in them without issue. Until the next one! Best wishes Michael & Esme! 🐶

[@Maritimer]

OH Right on, we'll I'm glad you found me ! haha ok, when you slept in -20 did you have a heat source or just the sleeping bag? also what do you wear when your in the sleeping bag?

[@jamesvieira8713]

Nice vid ! I used to put charcoal brickets in my stove just before bed and shut down the damper. The stove would simmer for most of the night.

@@Maritimer that's awsome. It's a real treat enjoying a fresh snow fall from inside the doorway with the woodstove watching the snow fall.

[@Maritimer]

yeah we finally got some snow on NYE, received like 10-15cm, so I cant wait to get back out. What do you do for work anyway? You seem to get out every weekend and you have kids, I like when you bring your kids in the woods with ya ! you wife doesnt have a choir list for ya? haha I noticed all the tattoos and kind of thought tattoo artist.

[@Lonewolfwildcamping]

@@Maritimer snow camping is so fun. I actually work inside a factory full time and my wife supports the channel alot so my days off are usually spent outdoors but one important method I use is always have 5 or 6 finished videos that are unreleased at all times to stay ontop of things 👍☺️🤙

[@Maritimer]

Ohhhhh ok well thats great she supports the channel, mine is starting to see potential, but I used to go do all this suff anyway and just started to film it to be honest haha but the channel is growing a bit which is kind of cool. I was also wondering.... Ontigris... are you sponsored by them? you seem to have all their gear haha I've seen they have been pushing thir stuff on YT quite a bit lately, i've seen a bunch of their tent reviews by different youtubers.

[@atvtrailscouts4765]

Enjoyed the video Maritimer! I haven't tried the winter camping yet but intend to soon. I'll probably have to go north to do it though as we don't hardly get a winter in Tennessee anymore. I personally like the added music here and there and the mistakes we find while doing these trips are invaluable. It only makes us better for the next one. Maybe we'll see you on the trail one of these days. Cheers!

[@Maritimer]

Hey thanks man ! I'd love to send ya a sticker of mine if you want one? just message me on Facebook, Instagram or by email [e-mail] with your name and full address.

[@jerrypruitt7432]

by adding a damper in the pipe it will save wood an keep the tent warmer. great video. i love winter time videos. take care of windle. GOD BLESS.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Jerry, why didn't you message me before the tip ?!?!? haha jk man, yeah I'm having my metal fab buddy install a damper for me, so that will help a lot ! thanks so much ! and Wendell is always looked after haha thanks again !

[@zonacrs]

Get a fine mesh strainer and make cowboy coffee. Coarse grind your coffee of choice in the supermarket, put it in boiling water, simmer it until it's to your taste and strain into a cup after a bit of a rest to let the ground coffee sink. A little more work but well worth it.

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thats a great Idea ! and bring real coffee ! I like that idea ! haha thanks !

[@alisondevos1170]

Awesome video stir-fry looks really good I can't believe there's no snow in New Brunswick right now

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! I know right.... we have a small amount down right now but it's not much at all.... and we have people who don't believe in global warming..... even up northern NB, they dont get the snow like they used too....

[@Maritimer]

Hey man, I love tea also ! usually at night i'll have a tea. it sounds like you've always progressed ! haha Cheers !

[@vliegendehollander55]

Its winter camping, not to far from home or not, you must take care about dry fire wood. You have an ATV, so weight is not an issue. many go out with an ATV and have at least for one night dry and ready fire wood with them. Also a good sleeping system is very important, also for the dog. I prefer to sleep on a cot, and the dog has his own, smaller, but he loves it. We stay both from the ground. For winter camping you have to invest more, its more expensive, but you have one of the best stoves out there, that's good choise...

[@Maritimer]

Hey !! thanks for all of the tips ! I thought about a cot ! I'd be up off the ground, it would be nice ! just with the ATV, packing space is limited ! maybe I can re-arrange some things. thanks agaiN !

[@NBGUY]

Happy New Year!! All the Best in 2020!

Hey man ! Happy New Year to you as-well !!

[@FawnandEvon]

Yes we always have mustard on our ham, also boiled eggs. Funny the first thing that came to mind when you where cooking the ham was grill cheese sandwich! 🤣 great attempt on the chimney jacket, I was thinking about trying the black cooking sheets that we can use on the barbecue, but I guess welders cloth is the next best thing. You made a great first time winter camping video, Koodos!

[@Maritimer]

Hey !!! thanks for watching !! yeah the baking sheet didn't work out for me, I think if it was higher up the pipe it would have been OK... but I have one made from a welders blanket now, I just need to get out and test it. thanks again for watching !

Hey Dave !! thanks so much ! Wendell is a great companion, especially out camping. I think i'll look at getting a french press too ! thanks again !

Thanks ! I'll keep an eye out for it next time i'm at HH

[@darrenobryan3746]

It was a good idea about the silicone stove flange but try a welding blanket cut the same as the silicone flange. You’ll find it will work a lot better. Oh by the way I enjoyed your video. It reflects the same as what most of us do.

Been using small stove like this hunting up northern nb in moose season for the last 5 or 6 years and when you look at your pile of wood, double it. Big blocks of seasoned hardwood once you get a good coal base is the secret.

[@bcnu2132]

Thanks for taking us along. Just a little tip that I have picked up along the way, including sleeping in snow caves and igloos, don't inflate your mattress by mouth. Your exhaled air contains moisture, it will create ice in your mattress and you won't be as warm

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thank you ! Oh wow I had no idea, how do I inflate the mattress then? a pump?

[@bcnu2132]

@@Maritimer Yes a pump, if you check army surplus stores the military thermo-rest mattress has a carry bag that also doubles as an inflation bag, Mountain Equipment Co-op may also have something.

[@camllmotoll1409]

Agree, only so many videos you can watch and its time to go do it yourself. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Thoughts on coffee-- metal screen strainer you can just do "pour over" since your already pouring hot water into your cup anyway. Or find a coffee in a pouch like a tea bag.

[@Maritimer]

Hey man ! you're right for sure ! thats a great idea about the strainer, I might go look for one ! thanks man !

[@camllmotoll1409]

@@Maritimer I started using pour over coffee when my father at age 73yrs old joined brother and I on a week long trip, (will spare you the bits on how misguided he was on choice of motorcycle "FJR" ) he said "if some grounds pass through just let it stand for second let them sink to bottom." He called it Cowboy coffee.

FYI- I have this exact stove and even with a damper(like i have)….I'm still up every 20 or so minutes to add more wood. It's constant adding wood….I tried adding larger pieces but that was a disaster as it "Smoked" a ton and I had to take it out at 2am. (even had to open the tent door to let smoke out. Good video and thank you for sharing!

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! oh wow really??? thats weird.... I was hoping it would burn a long time... I'll have to try a few different methods maybe..

[@nsyakfisheroutdoors2185]

Damper helps but finding some good dense hard wood is the key... I get like 1.5 hours give or take a bit depending if I use the damper but eventually just let it go out.

[@Maritimer]

Hey man thanks for checking out my video ! I appreciate the tips too, I know you have more experience with these little stoves than I do. I have a damper installed now, and I really think my issue was I didn't spend the time getting the proper wood like you said. thanks again !

[@tkoutdoors17]

Excellent video man! I've never camped in the winter but it looks like a good time! I might have to buy myself some winter camping gear and head for the mountains! Nice Ruger you got too 👍 firearms in the wilderness are a must! Anyway, great job on the video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife!

[@Maritimer]

Hey Taylor ! thanks so much ! yeah Winter camping is a whole new feel for sure, i'm also new to it, and learned a lot on this trip ! I agree with ya ! I sure wish we were allowed to have just a simple handgun in Canada, a nice 9mm or .45 would be perfect for self defence, but that will never happen. thanks again ! MC and HNY !

[@andrewsmith7367]

I've been out of atving for awhile. Next summer I'm going to buy a new machine .Its good to see you and your dog having such a great time.Keep up the great videos.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Andrew ! thanks so much man, we both love getting out on the bike. That's awesome you're going to get a new machine, what ae you riding now? and what are you planning on getting?

Cool tent just get a small square galvanized Square sheet metal cut hole in for chimney . Can attach Velcro to it easy to make much more durable and protect your tent .

[@Maritimer]

I thought about a metal stove jack but wasn't sure if it would get too hot, or be to heavy...

[@TheCompknack]

Great vid James ...I love mustard on my ham ,,, lol ....Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year ..... Go Leafs Go ....

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! a smart guy ! ahaha I like Mustard on everything lol thanks man, Happy new year to you too ! GO LEAFS !

[@izom]

nice vid- like how wendells focused on your yummy sandvich ! ;-) btw i did a 1hour ride on sunday at around 0degrees - even it was sunny i realized i dont like it really much...:- () - lookin forward spring ! ;-))

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thank you ! haha yeah the cold weather isn't for everyone. I have a good 4-5 months of cold weather so I need to make the best of it, rather than staying inside all the time. but man on the cold cold days I dream of heading south haha

[@stevenmc56]

I like Ruger great choice

[@Maritimer]

thanks ! they make a great .22

[@annettemillette4091]

another first time you go my boy and you will overcome every obstacle

[@Maritimer]

Hey Annette ! thanks so much ! I hope so ! every trip is a learning experience so I hope to keep getting better and better !

[@annettemillette4091]

@@Maritimer I too will be in the semi learning process for I have live in the bush for many years, but to do it that way up there will be different, especially going caneoing

[@Maritimer]

We'll I hope it all works out for ya !! be safe !

[@codfishknives8526]

Ham and mustard is the only way to go. Also you should try Newfoundland steak (bologna). It's good with mustard too. Hardwood is the best fuel to use. Rock maple or birch should be available in NB. Dry your wood for at least a year. It will burn longer. Nice vid.

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thank you !! I'll eat mustard on anything haha I love me some Newfie steak ! maybe next camping trip !

[@michaelchandler3123]

Nescafe espresso, made as americano. Pretty much drive thru coffee. Very reasonable prices but varies from 5 to 9 dollars a jar. Love the vid and hobo theme song! Pce from PEI!

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thanks so much ! glad you liked the littlest Hobo theme song haha

[@timoffreethought580]

I'm glad I found your channel, Nescafe is what my folks always drank ,with carnation evaporated milk 😖. I'm watching this one in lockdown in late May . The weather is just warm enough to go for a bike ride here in Beaverbank NS . glad I put my LJ's on .

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! I'm glad you found it too ! haha I'll have to try the Nescafe. and I know Beaverbank, I'm originally from NS. thanks again for checking out my video !

[@ontariooutdooradventures2779]

CABELAS sells some large -18c to -30c canvas sleeping bags which are very warm and do go on sale... will range from $180 - $280. They are a rectangular style giving you lots of room to move around. I purchased the Boulder Creek brand from Cabelas which went on sale for $119.00 ( reg $199.00) however it doesn't appear Cabelas carries this brand anymore. I'm sure the Cabelas brand will suit you fine... they are heavy, but you're ATV camping so not an issue.. it'll be a great investment you won't regret.. Make sure you buy a XL dry bag to put it in...

[@Maritimer]

Hey Don ! thanks for the heads up ! I ended up getting a Military Sleep System. Thanks again !

[@sgbradley]

Get a sheet of wielder cloth for the stove and fold it over twice stitched together with the hole and a over flap for the possibility of rain dripping in from the top when not in use. My Hope is half Jack and Chihuahua but she's got 10 lbs on him, must be the weather here on Vancouver Island. Yeah mummy bag's aren't good for anyone who is a big set over a medium and when sharing with a pup you definitely need a XL bag.

[@Maritimer]

Hey Steve ! thanks for the tips man ! My father is making me a new stove jack out of welders blanket as we speak haha so it should be perfect ! and you're right mummy bags suck haha especially with my dog lol I'm keeping an eye out for a bigger bag. im not a huge guy but 5'11 200lb i wear a Lg shirt so im guessing I need a larger bag too.

[@sgbradley]

@@Maritimer Teton XL bags are my choice BUT I'm 6'4"and °cough 255 lbs with a 22 lb wired hair Jack Russell mix. 🐕😁 I'm supposed to get our first snow since last January 2019 a whopping 1.0 Cm Lol

[@sgbradley]

Just make sure it's doubled thickness, the wind will move around the pipe unless you double thickness it.

[@Maritimer]

haha you're the seconf guy to mention the Tenton bags, so maybe I will give them a try ! thanks !!

[@gotjuice7160]

great vid bruv. Great stove you have, now to work on a more fire resistant opening, and a damper... maybe even the water jacket for the stove.

[@Maritimer]

Hey !! thanks man !! I have a damper being installed right now, and I know that will help me, and my father is making me a new stove jack, made from welders blanket. so that will be much better !

[@k.n.v.b1113]

Starbucks inta is the best , also almost no portable camping stove will burn wood all night unless you have iron wood or something like that . need a really good bed of coals before you go to bed and have a boat load split small to just wake up and feed the fire. Really you want the chill out of the air before you go to bed and then usually just start it in the morning to warm everything up. I used a minus 30 down bag when i go hot tenting because the fire will go out

[@Maritimer]

Hey !! thats what I've heard... I guess you gotta pay for quality eh? We'll I don't expect the little stove to burn all night but a few hours would be nice. no blame on the stove, it was all my fault, totally. I don't think we have Iron wood in my neck of the woods.. although I've seen it on other channels. What type of bag do you have? I'm in the market haha I also have a decent thicker space blanket coming in the mail, to lay down and shield the ground cold from my back. man thanks for all the help and tips ! I appreciate it !!

[@k.n.v.b1113]

Maritimer well any hard woods . I am close to Algonquin park . Hardwood central ! . And a damper really helps . Can’t remember if you have one . If not , get one installed on the 1st pipe regulate how fast it burns .

[@Maritimer]

Yes I'm getting a damper installed as we speak. that will help burn length and how much heat goes up the pipe for sure.

[@marianopuente3454]

I camp protected every time.

[@Maritimer]

That's smart. Good job!

[@MystikalDawn]

thats a nice 10-22. not a cheap one, i bought the savage 64 takedown for when i go out on my quad. I do like how yours fits together compared to my 64 though, the ruger is better.

[@Maritimer]

Hey ! thanks ! I love that gun. ohhhh nice ! yeah I was always told Ruger makes an amazing .22 so I just went with that, it never jams, good little gun.

[@bigdavesoutdoors9761]

Rather have a gun and not need it, then need it and not have it. Mossberg 500 12ga and a Ruger 45acp never got into the woods without um. Have a Rancher 4x4. Great vid dude

[@Maritimer]

Hey Dave ! I agree with ya man, it's great to have in the woods ! thanks for watching !

[@roncummins9614]

Great video James. I hate mummy bags also. Take a look at the Katabatic Quilts. For a sleeping pad, I love my Big Agnes Q-Core SLX. For instant coffee, I use the Folgers single packets.

[@Maritimer]

Hey !! thank you ! I'll have to check out those quilts and sleeping pad. I see lot of ppl use Folgers, but I don't like sugar in my coffee... and I think they all have cream and sugar in them.

[@roncummins9614]

@@Maritimer The folgers single packs at Walmart doesn't not have creamer nor sugar in them.

[@timberray9572]

The key to winter camping in a hot tent is to take someone small and skinny with you, they will get cold much faster than you so they will be the first one to wake up and stoke the stove while you get a good nights rest.

[@Maritimer]

hahahahaha now there is a tip i've never heard before ! LOL I always thought bringing a bigger woman to keep ya warm would be better hahahaha thanks for the tip Ray !
