❄️BIKE CAMPER SURVIVAL WINTER OVERNIGHTER @ -21°C 

Crazy adventure, interesting video... your English is very good!

very nice

I like ur accent

Have you considered a fat tire bike for winter riding through snow? I find it much more stable and gives you better traction.

I was going to ask if you have plans available for like minded individuals and this pin answered it. Thank you for the opportunity ☺️☺️

Sleeping place = campsites

Heating towel = heating pad (if under you ) heating blanket( if over you)

Speaking more than on language. I feel his struggle.

If he only knew how badly Americans butcher English...

I was coming here to comment almost verbatim what you posted.

Makes you realize the earth is indeed round 🙉

Lithium batteries cannot be CHARGED in freezing temperature but still performs quite well in holding the charge and can also being discharged without too much problems with currents no more than half the maximum current (1/3 to be safe)

Totally agree mate he has a great set-up i would love his heater for my boat ! ✌️

@@teslacoiler This is why I watch things that I know nothing about. I live where it is freezing 6 months of the year. This is problematic for electric cars where there is no heated area to store and charge them.

@@annettefournier9655 Driving the car with frozen cells isn't a real issue (initially you lose some power, but after few minutes the cells start to warm up... so is not so different from a standard internal combustion engine vehicle). Charging the battery when the cells are frozen is a totally different story.... this is why many electric cars implement battery heaters (used to warm up the cells prior to start the charging process). If you have a car equipped with battery heaters you will be ok (just remember that heaters require a lot of power, the real usable range will be half and of course you have to forgot the ultrafast charge).

When he had the interior heated to 20°C, it meant the battery was not cold.

What kind of gas is used in camping? Is it a propane/butane mixture? Carbon monoxide is lethal, carbon dioxide is much more forgiving. I think the concentration where it starts causing the problems is a few percent by volume, 12% and more leads to unconsciousness and can be lethal.

I open a window to cook, and then I heat a heavy stock pot with a nearly completely sealed lid, full of water, to almost boiling, and put it under the bed, and turn the flame off. It lasts several hours, at least. Safe heat.

@@pavel9652 you open a window or two and use propane in winter.

Also, it doesn't compromise your night vision, should you have to answer nature's call at 3:00 am for example. 😉

I agree but I’d do something like blue or purple that way it’s a softer light but it’s probably to each their own.

I was thinking I'd fit changeable-color LEDs so I could find what was best for me, but that is a good point about night vision.

That’s not true at all

Me being red green colourblind: Huh never noticed

Where do you find snow chains for a bike tire? I've never heard of this.

Brilliant, thanks I was wondering how to ride in deep snow as I have yet to do it

It's been a minute since I last saw some, but IIRC, the brand I bought were called Pit Bull Tire Chainz. If you weren't going to be on pavement at all, the cheaper chains probably work better for deep snow, but if you were going to have to deal with any hard packed snow or ice, or icy roads, I would definitely go with the cleats, which look like little ice crampons for your tires. They aren't as deep, profile-wise, as the chains, so wouldn't perform as well in deep, soft snow, but they work MUCH better in a city/suburban environment. As far as where to buy them... bike shop, Amazon, ebay is where I would start looking. The brand I mentioned may not even be in business any more.

This must be very energy efficient too when you have a well isolated sleeping bag.

@@goku445 energy efficiency doesn't actually change, since blankets are not "normally" thermostat based. but it does let you run it at the lowest setting. That being said, there are "some" that have a fixed on switch, where by if the power goes out, and turns back on, they will turn back on. This WOULD allow an extension cord thermostat to be used. by putting the stat inside the bag, setting the blanket to a comfortable temp. the system SHOULD shut off when the bag reaches the desired temp.... and turn back on when it drops below that. Maximizing battery life, keeping you safe and warm all night long.

they make electric pads designed to lay upon and they are smooth and extremely efficient. the better quality pads use braided wiring and are far more rugged but cost considerably more. you can make a nickel/metal battery bank that is safer to handle and recharge, as well.

@@tommurphy4307 Yep i know, i just don't like the heated sleeping pads personally. Its hard to explain but sleeping on a heated surface, i find leads to uncomfortable sleeps. If i start to overheat, i can't "get away" from the heat... but with blanket and sheets, i will find myself sticking a foot out at night to cool off then pulling the foot back in. LOL. As to batteries, yeah, there are tons of options you can use, weight you can use deep cycle marine batteries, normal car batteries, etc. It depends on how much weight you want to carry, how much energy storage you need, and such. you can even "make your own" power banks. You COULD get like a 40ah battery, pretty cheep, but its only good for about 300 cycles or about a year of constant use, though that might be all you need, however thats like 25 pounds... you might want 6 of them for a night, adn that a LOT of weight in batteries to be pulling around. You could get a 100 ah Lead carbon battery, thats 68 pounds though. but lither then lead acid. 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 battery will last the longest, but might still weigh in at 76 lbs... again a lot of weight to lug... on the flip side some poeple can custom make powerpacks that are lighter, around 40 pounds for 150ah. which is getting much better for something small like a bike camper.

or just use some cheap schwalbe tires, pound some tacks thru them, and cut at the appropriate height. old metal window blind blades make great tube guards or they could be made with split tubing. way cheaper.

Haha seym kaka nood ng car camping at van life 😂🤦‍♂️✨

😃

Hole cut in floor

If it was a public park in Germany, would have 2 WC inside the park at least. Of course they cost money lol.

Hello Wonder Hussy ! I never miss your Wednesday post. But am worried about you moving to Death Valley ! Love ya, from my RU-vid channel “Beach Walk and a Joke “

depends.....

actually most Germans have a pretty decent understanding of english because its a Pflichtfach in all schools (you cant choose if you want to learn it or not, you have to). So if you ever go to Germany, dont try to talk shit about people in english because they can probably understand you

-U think That's crazy? Just wait till he picks up a hitchhiker & has the guy get into that camper.

Also, great investment! Thermal camera is very nice the way it shows you the exact points of heat loss and how well the insulation performs.

I too am getting a kit fr this

wouldnt that affect the weight, which affects the E-bikes ability to tow it, and in snow it may be harder to tow higher weights

@@jamesdeegan7365 Very true, but it would only add a kilo at most as insulation board is blown foam. And to reduce the drag, an old pair of skis tied to the wheels when needed would halve the effort required.

I'm up in the Tampa Bay area so i get what you're saying about the heat. But I've been in negative cold and snow over 4 ft deep...I'll take the heat any day! Good day, my friend!

@Andrzej Kaminski I agree, a hanging lamp would be safer or an electric vector heater can be made easily. For a room that small 50 - 100 watts if he checks the video's how to make a small electric cooker hob, that can act as a heater too. There is no perfect solution except great insulation but ventilation brings more cold air in. A room that size has enough air for 90 minutes breathing but gas will lower that time with no fresh air.

Why not build the camper with xps foam boards and cover them with canvas. Easy to work with, low cost, low weight and thermally insulated by nature.

@@Charlemagne1367 Durability issues. XPS foam board is far too easily damaged to use in that capacity.

The amount of high tech equipments he used tho. ;)

Whatever, I live in the U.S. and everyone I know calls them heating towels 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😆 😂 😝 Warning ⚠️ whacking off under an electrical heating towel could result in electrical ⚡️ shock and death ☠️. BEWARE 🤣

@@SVMSICE If you live in the US I gotta wonder where. I have never heard them being called "heating towels". Even the box they come in says "electric blanket". The smaller, pillow size ones are "heating pads".

@@txgunguy2766 🤣 sorry, I was just joking 🙃 I do find it weird though, that they call them heated towels over there. I’m pretty sure they don’t call regular blankets, “Towels”.

@IcePike & @txgunguy I think the issue here is that the author is stretching to translate the German term. My visual is a heating pad, but I’m really curious about the voltage and wattage. Are these 12V, North American 120V, or European 220V? (Or even U.K. 240V?)

btw. Our "Kartoffel Salad" is not the one known in Germany and even other regions of Poland. Basically it's boiled potatoes (we call them "kartofle" of course), onion, pieces of sour cucumbers and fried bacon mixed together in.. one pot :D My grandpa likes to drink soured milk with it and he sometimes says he likes when Briefträger brings him letters on his Geburtstag (yes. he uses these German words) :D

@@Camel9991 greetings from northeast pomerania ;) always throws me off when polish people nonchalantly throw in perfectly pronounced german words

​@@JOhnDoe-nl4wj pronounced? This guy is writing. Don't get too excited about his story either, it's pretty clear he has no idea about how German words got into Polish. :-}

@@goqsane my dude, i literally meant when polish people speak to me and use german loanwords like i said, i'm from northeast pomerania

he has a lot of Videos for the future :) be shure to see them, they are awesome :)

Insulation would have to be as thick as the aluminium profiles plus a layer to cover the profiles themselves I think. The weather was frigid, however, so it would not help much once the heating is gone.

@@pavel9652 Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. It does seem that once the heating is gone that it would get cold very fast. I am still wondering what the sweet spot would be, though, between the thickness of the insulation, the rate of heat loss, and how much one can generate with the mini-fan stove heater. As an experiment, I would be curious how much help one layer of Reflectix Insulation would give, and perhaps, as a second experiment, two layers of Reflectix (the second experiment would add about a 1/2 inch thickness).

​@@Raku777 The thicker the better, but it is very spacious inside! ;) I would put the thickness of the aluminium profile + thinner layer to screen aluminium. The walls would look more solid and smooth. He said he likes winter camping, so it would make sense to insulate it. Perhaps some thicker cover for the windows. To me it looks almost like it is too spacious inside and I would opt for a thicker walls. Perhaps he wants to get more light? The walls are illuminated with the sun light.

I doubt serious benefit from a fat bike. It will still sink into and cut through the snow. What could help would be more driven wheels but no clue how to do those street legally.

@@jochenschrey2909 this channel has no content, either a bot or a paid actor to spout this drivel that could be stated about any bike from someone who has never ridden a fat bike. Pathetic

That's a bit of a stretch. Not everyone is here to make videos, you know. Some of us just like to watch and comment. And why in the world would anyone want to use a bot or a hired actor to post critical comments about fat bike tires? That's totally implausible. Bike tires are hardly a controversial topic. Not everything needs a conspiracy theory.

@@platyhelminthes2877 click the avatar, you will see loads of them with no content those are either bots or hired actors believe me. No conspiracy because it's true. They supposedly generate talking points and help gain interest. They are more prevalent in political discussions... I always check that out on youtube

uhhhhh whwat????

Really ??? The guy could have died alive

@@jimmyrodasmolestina979 no

☺️❤️

It's covered well in one of the videos. Even if your German isn't up to snuff, you can get a lot out of the video.
