Much respect to your father for being a great cameraman and a best friend.

One idea to get more airflow is to increase the size of the part of the pipe that you put in the fire. You’ll heat more air, and if you attach a smaller pipe to the tent, the speed of the air will increase.

Swedish Log Torch Heater -made with 3 pipes and axe -weight 1.5 to 2kg. Ingenious and outstanding, thank you.

Its people like this guy I want as role model for myself and my kids. Guy’s talented and hard working. He’s a lawyer in Russia and when he gets a vacation, he goes into Siberia and stays in total wilderness, alone, cleansing himself from that negative mental(and physical) energy, that a big city cast upon one. I envy him. Its not that I don’t have a chance to get out- I don’t have that willpower to immerse myself with the nature on that level. Спасибо за прекрасные видео. Сколько полезной информации, сколько приятных для глаза картинок, приятно слуху. Кладезь злата. Спасибо и привет из солнечной Калифорнии!

I don't know how or why I ended up watching this… but I found it FECKIN' FASCINATING!

I love EVERYTHING about this video!!! Thank you for making such a great and informative video on how to heat a large tent without a stove. Cheers from the USA, Michigan!🏕🔥✨❄

I'm 40 and no stranger to RU-vid. This is literally my first sub EVER. I am rebuilding my house. It is a log cabin that was used in the civil war as an impromptu field clinic. I don't know exactly how old the main room is, but it's well over a hundred years. The work you do looks verrrrrry similar to the structural lumber here. That makes it perfect for me. I never sub. Ever. That is how useful your videos are to me my friend. Thanks and god bless. Oh btw, I never comment either, so that's another first, just nicely done man. The guideless saw milling, perfect. You solved my whole deal, I am poor, but I DO have acers upon acers of trees and some nice saws. (I use wood heat) Getting my stuff ready now gotta be sharp!

Big respect from The U.S. Thank you so much my brother!

Maxim, your English is excellent, your narration is very good, and the video was very interesting!

The way you describe your projects is very interesting and easy to follow. I enjoy your successes as well as your failures. Everything you do teaches and inspires experimentation.

I'm practically speechless, I just discovered your videos and I'm really enjoying watching your skills!

You speak English very well!!! Love the accent as well!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Look up heat wraps for motorcycle exhaust pipes. Fireproof cloth strip that you could insulate the pipe to prevent heat loss in the span outside the tent.

Not only is this brilliant, it opens up the viewers imagination as to possibilities for their environment. My family has heated rocks around the fire to warm sleeping bags for generations, but this is showing how you could take the same idea and expand it to be very efficient and comfortable while being safe from burns and smoke. Thank you so much, and of course I subscribed to see what other genius ideas you present.

Maybe put the intake end of the tube in the tent as well, preferrably near the floor of the tent, because the air temperature is lowest there. The airflow will be circular and you will lose a lot less heat. It will also prevents the airflow from being influenced by the wind.

I am so happy that you are doing these videos in English. Your ideas are incredibly intelligent. I'm looking forward to all the videos you will hopefully be making in the future. Thank you for these.

It's 4:30 in the morning and I should be asleep.... But it's essential I learn how to make this living in the harsh unforgiving climate of southern California

I recommend researching and making a Scotch Eye, which is a great piece of bushcraft kit to have anywhere with you. Can be used for erecting shelter frames, fences, bridges, and rocket logs, the latter of which I think you’d enjoy.

Others have probably made this observation: The pipe no doubt gets quite hot. But there are probably insulating wraps with reflective surfaces that could be used to reduce heat loss between the log torch and where the pipe enters the tent. Obviously such insulation would need to be rated to withstand a fairly high temperature. Very pracical way to provide some heat to winter campers. Nicely done video. Cool gaiters.

Although I may never use the practices you have shown , I did find them fascinating and learned something 👍

AS someone that enjoys the outdoors, camping, and has taught wilderness survival. This is incredibly cool! I am looking forward to trying this myself! Thanks for a great video!

Cool stuff. Love the simplicity of the method, the efficiency of warm-air transfer, as well as avoiding carbon-monoxide toxic fumes. Bravo for a job well done and please keep up the good work. Thanks for posting the video . . .

Thank you brother, I love the vertical cooking , brilliant. One ❤ from 🇬🇧

Some great Ideas and I like the voice over rather than talking to the camera. Thank you. Victoria Australia

who needs netflix when we haves dudes like advoko vlogging away out there in youtube land

Well done Your English language is good 😊, your ideas are fantastic the vertical cooking is a fabulous idea 😋thank you. All the best from Henry in the UK 🇬🇧

Smarty pants! As soon as I started watching this, I was like duhhhhh! Beautifully simplistic and doable. Thank you so much for sharing!

I wish I knew this when I lived in Finland! 🇫🇮 Cheers from Texas.

I love this! It is genius! You include every mistake! Just like the ones I am going to make!

Man! Russians got the best survival info on RU-vid. Thank you.

Pretty good max, simplicity at its best heating a tent in the freezing weather be careful laying that log so near your tent. Your skills shows practicality, simplicity in design & most of all the use of local materials sourced around your chosen location. Smart person indeed. Keep treading lightly outdoors and enjoying nature at its best. Peace out brother

I live in a tropical country but watched thru this video in case one day I'm stranded in a winter wilderness

I don't know how I never knew of this guy before... I may have found a new favorite youtuber.

This would have been very useful back when I was a kid going out to winter camping..

Tyvm! Extremely nice to see ideas that are practical for northern, boreal locations!

A very good and inspiring video. We need more positive videos like this from Russia. Please continue!

Outstanding video, my friend! Clear, and to the point, with a fun narration.

Us Finlanders certainly know how to servive in the winter, with centuries of bushcraft knowledge behind us (Along with the Swedes and Norwegians) Me being first generation Finnish/Canadian (apparently it gets cold here) found it only natural for me to create things, just like this, for winter camping. Just some good ol' Finnish know how👍 Enjoy these vids, thanks, and cheers from British Columbia 🇨🇦

Finish log torch is the bomb. I will keep this knowledge forever.

Very impressive. If I was physically able to I would be living such a life. Good to see someone living life to the full.

To make it more efficient: Get one of those heat-powered fans on the pipe, so it begins spinning when heated. Then it'll extract heat from the pipe as well. Also consider putting rocks around the outside of the log (about 4" larger radius on all directions), so when the log inevitably crumbles from use, it'll tumble and burn only as far out as the rocks allow. Plus, you could heat up closer rocks with the wood, allowing you to use it later for cooking or as primitive heating pads.

Some may call that a Canadian candle, but let's not argue with a viking and his axe.

This guy is the coolest Russian on the planet. So glad I discovered his channel.

Your video was well presented. Precise & to the point. Thanks

What a simple, great idea. Thanks for the video.

Dude, if I were lost in the wilderness, I'd want to be lost with this guy

I love all this kind of stuff! There are few things in life that bring more joy than knowing that not only can you survive solely on your own merits, but that your quality of living would be more than adequate. :)

Very simple and impressive setup to heat your tent. Your lifting of those heavy logs reminded me of my long deceased grandfather who came to America from the Austro Hungarian Empire. He was a very physical athletic man who in his broken English-Slovak accent would have said, "you strong like bull." Good job.

This is such a great vid. Simple, but effective heating with minimum supplies. I can't wait to try it.

Other than the safety concerns, as mentioned by other commentators, this is a most interesting and informative video.

I love youtube for this exactly. Learning more about anything at anytime.

With the remaining log torch you could level the side without the long legs and attach a glass top to it. Now you have a really interesting side table for your cabin!

Terrific video! Thanks for sharing your world! 👍✌️🇬🇧

This is great, I love the simplicity. I just fear coals falling below the opening of the pipe and pumping in carbon monoxide without your noticing. With a hollow log fire like this that's not very likely, but it could maybe happen. When I made my recent desalinator video I realized how good of a heater it would make to run the copper coil from the desalinator into a structure, then pipe the end back out again. Steam carries a LOT of heat, just the small coil I made could probably heat a sizable room. Dipping the coil in 1L of water boiled it in only a few minutes.

Друзья, Спасибо за поддержку! Как думаете, Для чего Я не стал ставить на это видео водяной знак? Правильно, чтобы увидев в других социальных сетях это видео без озвучки было понятно откуда его скачали 🤐🤐🤐

Wonderfully done... Thank you for sharing this wonderful tip.

Appreciate all your videos. There is live-saving content! 👃✌️🥰!!

I love how thorough these videos always are. Me on the other hand, I'm like "dang there's a lot of rust on this pipe...meh I'm sure it's fine"

When it cools down, the unburied log torch would make a great toilet!

What a great way of setting your tent on 🔥

A bell mouth entrance on the tube and a tapered exit increasing diameter would help substantially with the amount of volume. Also insulating the pipe after an exits the log fire would help a lot

We always enjoy learning new ways to keep warm during winter camping... Ingenious and a delight to watch. Thanks so much for sharing...

Man, those spiraled potato shish kabobs with the meat inside looked bomb.

Excellent, I really enjoyed your video, it was informative, presented, described,step by step instructions, and a very good subject.

Your craftsmanship is excellent! My ruskii friend!

Love all the effort and insight you put into these videos. Plus the happy face you have when enjoying your cooking is delightful!

Brilliant stuff Maxi. At a time when your nation is in the news for so many negative reasons, its great to see how real Russians can shine. I have friends from Moscow and know what great people most Rusians are. If only politicians (yours and mine in the UK) spent more time in the woods and less time in their ego's.

That was amazing. ThankYou for teaching us this.

This has earnt my thumbs up and a save, for later use, fantastic use of the logs and even better use of those old pipes, this has made me think I might have to try this out, I love camping and taking survival to the next limit, how about it I'm getting me some

I just found your channel last night and wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have amazing content my friend.

Thank you mt friend for these videos this is the sec video I have watch and I'll be binge watching your channel thanks again.

I’ve been watching Survival Russia channel for years and now I realize he referenced this channel a long time ago. Awesome videos thank you

I'm really glad I watched this a 2nd time, I live in Southern Louisiana USA and our winters aren't that cold, maybe 30 F. A few times during the winter, this would be outstanding, and much safer as you say than a stove, thank you my friend for your amazing videos

Great video. Thanks! Very well explained.

I live at 9000 ft in the Rocky Mountains. I am looking forward to using this method on my next camping trip. Thank you for the great video. I thumbed up and subbed as well. Excellent job

RU-vid algorithm done made my day 100x better.. SUB!!!

Omg... this video was amazing. I'm going to try this. Thank you.

This video was so satisfying to watch. Awsome Job!!!!

Carbon Monoxide monitors are small, lightweight and battery operated, so you could bring it along to hang inside the tent. I think it would be relatively easy to make a two piece U shaped pipe that could be joined together at the bottom. Just slide the vertical piece down through the log and have it connect with the bottom piece that goes inside the bottom of the vertical piece a small distance.

That's winter survival at it's finest! Amazing my friend! Thank you for sharing 😁

I love videos like this! Thanks for sharing.

You had me at napping...lol Great video and heating method. Outstanding. Thank You

You guys do a great job, even though we grew up in different parts of the world, I grew up in northern Michigan, we all enjoy the same things in life, good job bro!

You made excellent point with the vertical cooking technique. 👍

So impressed! Thank you for the video

Fascinating video. Did make me chilly, though we are 15 degrees f here in Chicago today - wood heater looks to be a welcome solution! Thanks for the video!

Dude you deserve 100 million subscribers. This is just awesome.

Excellent instructional video. Thanks

This was brilliant! Well done.

Absolutely amazing.. You are a great narrator and Your English is better then most Yankees that have lived in the US. thanks for video..

I love that vertical cooking method. Genius. Thanks for another great video.

Very cool idea! Love this! Thank you for the tips! 👍💪

Very neat, if I ever try winter camping again, I might try this

I am such a fan of your videos. Every single one is super informative. Amazing...now I want to go camping in the cold!

this guy cooks better in wilderness than me with a fully equipped kitchen

Amazing idea! Thank you for sharing!

Oh my gosh the cooking stuff is way more cool than the chopping stuff!!! Thanks!

Soooooooooooooooooo intelligent. Every single aspect of your design, construction and utilisation. Sooooo very intelligent. I absolutely SALUTE you!! Instant sub.
