    For cleaning the stove pipes while out camping, It works quite well to use some paracord or other cordage to tie a stainless steel pot scrubber to a stick to enable you to reach all the way through the length of each stove pipe length. You can "scrub" the creosote and carbon buildup by running the stick mounted scrubber up and down the pipe. Enjoyed watching the video.

      Nahh forget that , take stove out of tent , attach 2 or 3 sections of pipe m and burn a supper hot burn in the stove and burn off the soot , then do it again for the rest of the pipes that need it, should only take 30 min or so

      @@danielc.1169 If you think it through, my method of scrubbing the pipes takes less work and time, especially if the "scrubber" is already made before you start. You don't need to move the stove. It should only take about 15 minutes. to take the pipes off, clean them and reassemble. I have been winter hot tent camping for somewhere around 20 years and have learned what works well for me.

    Both you and Louise know how to survive in the forest and that is great and you all have a perfect tool ( the Ax) for processing wood to keep you all warm in the cold weather. One way to keep your pipes from getting stopped up is to only use hard wood to burn your fire as it don't leave as much resin in the pipes. Only use soft wood like pine to start a fire and then use the pine which has aged laying on the ground or was underground (root area).

I have a wood stove though I have not rigged it up yet.

    Hope the waterproofing goes well!
    Water can also run off the inside of the tent - condensation. If there's no opening high up, our breath will condense on the cooler tent at night and run down to the floor. But it sounds like you had a lot of water - probably not your problem.
    Would be interesting to see what native edibles there are in your area! Wild asparagus? Reeds and roots? Pot herbs? Around a body of water there are often interesting things.

    • @Elementaldomain
      @Elementaldomain 3 года назад +1

      If you do and its for long term, consider getting a SilverFire Hunter stove. I actually have all his stuff but the Hunter can be used inside. It’s a biomass rocket stove so you use twigs, small branches, scrub brush - easy to find stuff even here in the high desert where I live. It doesn’t take much fuel to get a really nice fire started and it will keep going for awhile. He also has special cooking pots that are created to boil water in about a 1/3 of the time.
      Bell tents are great, however, lots of things need to be taken into account before deciding on a particular brand and model. Condensation can be a problem in some areas so the rain fly accessory is needed. If wind is a problem then certain models are best. Modifications are often necessary to meet local conditions pertinent to your local. Here permanent anchorage is needed to keep the canvas from flapping in 60mph winds.
      Overall, a bell type is the nicest for a woman. Easily put up without help. In heavy snow areas sometimes a better pole is necessary so it can withstand a heavy snow load.
      Just some wisdom from a 78 year old woman who has lived this way all her life….get the best tools you can find….don’t put your tent under trees or near heavy brush. Get some kind of weapon, even its a compound bow or what they call escrima sticks.
      You may not encounter a wily human but you’d be surprised how a local big critter like a mountain lion can show up when you least expect it. Carry something with you at all times. Always be prepared, always be alert….that is the secret.

      @Benaiah Ahmadinejad Benaiah, your comment was inappropriate. Also God doesn't exist. He's just an imaginary friend someone else told you to believe in.

    Do you use a down or synthetic fiber sleeping bag?

      Synthetic is best. It dries faster and you can actually sleep in it wet. Down tends to clump.
