VAN LIFE / propane fireplace, raw carnivore, introverting

[@AndrewFolts]

IT'S a PROPANE FIREPLACE, YOU GUYS!!!!

[@felix-eeee]

that's awesome, you finally got it installed

[@natek3954]

Thanks for sharing the update! I’m excited for you!

[@AndrewFolts]

Cheers, Nate! I'm stoke to get this thing running ASAP!

[@natek3954]

You’ll have to let us know how well it keeps you warm!

[@AndrewFolts]

Oh it'll be warm...maybe too warm, ha. It's capable of heating 200 sq ft and my van is like 70.

[@natek3954]

@@AndrewFolts oh wow! No kidding it will!

[@justins_toys]

Please make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm in the van. They are cheap small and have a 10 year battery so won't drain power from the van.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, I def will when I get the fireplace going. Fortunately, it's airtight and vents out the roof, so quite safe, but there's always the risk of leaks.

[@SheilaMaudBell-ov4hd]

Totally get it man. If the crowd goes that way I go the other. Love the propane heater. Have you got a 15 TOG duvet; I can barely ever use mine cos it makes me so hot!!! Hi from gloomy north of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@AndrewFolts]

Oooh, yea, I've been wanting to get a duvet, they seem super cozy. My wool blankets are fairly warm, but I feel like the puffiness of a duvet is a lot more effective. Stay warm out there!

[@offgridlife1362]

Be interested to know if you get a condensation problem with using propain heating

[@AndrewFolts]

Not with this one, because it's completely airtight and has a dual chimney system that both sends the exhaust out the top of the van and draws fresh air in from outside. It actually dries the van out.

[@natek3954]

You write music?! I didn’t know that!

[@AndrewFolts]

Sometimes, yea. It's been a goal for a while to produce my own background music for the channel, but I haven't had the time the past few years. Hopefully once I get the van done I'll be able to devote some more energy to it.

[@natek3954]

@@AndrewFolts super kool! I look forward to hearing it!

[@steadyrow]

But can you put the kettle on it

[@AndrewFolts]

Maybe, it does have a secondary cage to prevent the outer metal from getting too hot, but I'll have to test it. I bet I could at least get a cup of water hot, if not boiling.

[@DustyKornphartz]

Introverts Unite!..... wait....

[@AndrewFolts]

What, raw meat introverts, ha? That would indeed be a very specific niche.

[@choffee]

That heater looks great and just the job for what you want. I'm still not convinced about the raw meat and sugar diet you are on feels to me like you are missing out on loads of nutrients that you need in the longer term and your gut microbiom is going to be suffering with no veg. Glad you are feeling better now though.

[@AndrewFolts]

What nutrients do you think I might be missing? FIY, I am still eating some plant foods, like baby lettuce, avocado, lemon, and pear/apple, as well as raw honey.

[@幼女]

Please make it a wood stove.

[@AndrewFolts]

I wish I could, but it creates too many problems. I wouldn't be able to use it in most parks or parking lots and my mom said 100% no wood stove at her house, which is where I stay most of the time in the winter. Wood stoves also require a ton of maintenance and attract unwanted attention (like people calling the cops due to thinking your van's on fire, ha).

[@natek3954]

I’m going to have to try some raw honey!

[@AndrewFolts]

Totally. Really Raw is amazing, it puts all other honey to shame.

[@natek3954]

@@AndrewFolts is that the brand name? Can you buy it online?

[@gilldoyle3295]

I shared another comment earlier about something which is great for health .. and guess what! KZbin deleted it yet again! What a joke!

[@AndrewFolts]

Ah jeez. I should add a third option on my website contact form. - General Question - Brand Collaboration - Natural health recommendation, which I wanted to share with Andrew on KZbin, but couldn't, because the censorship algorithm keeps deleting it in order to prevent people from taking control of their own health, which would deprive the establishment of profit.

@AndrewFolts spot on 😏
