I apologize as there seems to be some confusion with some of what happened. During the day, in order to conserve oil, I burn wood to heat the cabin. If the wood stove cannot keep the temperature around 50F the oil burner will automatically kick on. At night I will load the wood stove as much as possible and the go to sleep knowing that the oil burner will kick on if the temperature drops below 50F once the wood stove fire burns low. This means I do not have to get up every couple of hours to feed the fire. On this ONE particular night, the oil burner ran out of oil. 100% my fault yes and I admitted to that on video. Also at night I sleep with an electric blanket so you don't notice the cold until a cold puppy wants under the blankets. Normally it is so warm upstairs (since heat rises) that Kenai refuses to sleep on the bed and will either sleep on the floor or even sleep downstairs. I underestimated the oil consumption so its a live and learn experience. I need to have a level gauge put on the oil tank so I know the level. Either way now that I have a biweekly fill set up with the Crowley Fuel, I wont have to worry about running out of oil. And yes I should have insulated the windows earlier but the cabin was not cold prior to running out of oil. Thank you! Alone and Kenai!

I always keep a good sleeping bag in case the heat/electricity doesn’t work. Put an old sheet or blanket in the bag with you by the zipper to keep any cold air out; that’s an old Army trick. You won’t freeze to death in a house in a sleeping bag. I even used to pull guard standing up in my sleeping bag in my fighting position.😂

I live about an hour and a half away from Buffalo and I did live in Buffalo years ago for a short time. It is known for its snow because it is located off Lake Erie and if the lake doesn't freeze over, the city gets copious amounts of snow. This blizzard, however, was so powerful, I don't know how seriously people took the warnings. We are located in an area that doesn't see such dangerous conditions and we barely got any snow....just some tremendous gusts of wind. We have 2 sources of heat in the form of our wood stove and also a propane boiler. Living on 20 cacres of woods, the stove is our first source of heat. That said, our governor is now mandating that homes will be switched to electric heat pumps within several years. With the US harboring an aged and fragile grid system, I cannot imagine how people would survive an event like the blizzard of 2022. On a bright note, so many stories are coming out of Buffalo about how people helped each other in so many ways during the blizzard. Buffalo has been called "the city of good neighbors" and these heartwarming stories certainly validate that title! Your video is a reminder to all that we should prepare ahead for unplanned circumstances. We never know what might be behind the corner! Please stay warm and stay safe and have a Happy New Year!

Resist the government mandates to get rid of wood-burning stoves. The newer ones have virtually no harmful emissions as they re-burn gasses. Having that alternative is a matter of life and death in many cases; we can't let governments take away these rights!

Wow, that’s terrible. We had two solid weeks of below zero temps and no electricity two years ago, in Texas. My intuition had been telling me to get a gas or wood stove and I was in Cali at the time visiting my daughter and bought a gas stove on-line and had it installed. My husband thought I was crazy because we live in Texas and bad winters don’t happen. But the past winters are bad in February and our bills were over a $1000 a month. Not a couple days passed, after I had a 100 gallon gas tank installed and filled, we were hit that terrible winter. Our electricity was out, my daughter & granddaughter came home with me so I had a child under 2 to think of. I thank God I listened to my intuition & ignored my husband’s doubts and got a gas stove. If I lived in NY, I would sneak a gas stove in and if they come check, just hide it or unhook it. People have to think of keeping their children warm and a heat pump don’t work with no electricity. What would we have done if I had no gotten a gas stove, I can’t imagine. I feel bad for people in NY. 😢

Living inMontana, I’m very used to using a wood stove for heat. You need to fill that thing up at night and bank it. It will never get that cold again. You might have to set an alarm to get up during the night and feed the wood stove again. You might want to get a cot and set it up by the stove when it gets that cold.

Yup I agree your one tough cookie. Good call on the dry cabin No frozen toilet. Lots of advise for keeping warm but keep that fire stoked. One thing we did for our dog Kate since she was a puppy is to have a kiddie pool in the garage with mini flake shavings to go potty in. We scoop it out to a bucket to keep it clean. It was terrible to make our previous dog go out in the rain and potty in standing water. Or during the fire it was so Smokey. And now there is no need to go on a poo hunt. 😊

I’ve never lived in a super cold environment though we had snow occasionally when I was a child. We burned coal for heat in the South. It might be wise to create a “safe room”, maybe closet size with a separate heat source to keep you warm and a lifesaving amount of water from freezing to use just if you have such an emergency. 😮😢Maybe you need two oil tanks and call for a fill up when just one is empty! This is a scary episode! ❤
@AloneinRemoteAlaska
@AloneinRemoteAlaska Год назад
The oil delivers bi weekly as long as I tell them to start up again and since I didn't do it last year once my driveway was all packed with snow, I just simply forgot! I am all set up again and will definitely not forget next time! I have a plastic wall kit that was sent to me by a subscriber that I can use to block off my kitchen from the rest of the cabin if needed. When I first arrived I basically slept in the kitchen on a folding cot so I would do that if it was an emergency. The wood stove is more than enough to heat the kitchen! Sorry Sarah the episode was meant to show more of how a small mistake could be dangerous but being prepared and having backups for these situations is important! 🤗🧡

Two weeks would have been if I kept the cabin at 70-80F. But I like the 50-55F range better and I have the wood stove as my main heat anyway. I have considered two wood stoves but what I really need is a newer and more efficient stove since my cabin is so big. You're definitely not a wimp Ron! Just not so into the cold weather!

I have an electric heated mattress pad on my bed, it has been the best investment I have ever bought!! It is so much better than an electric blanket. The Dr I use to work for recommended it to his patients instead of the blanket. If you put a blanket on the foot of your bed it will trap the heat and acts like a foot warmer. It doesn't use that much electricity, so if you are on solar it would not drain the batteries. It is warmer down the foot and gradually will be a little bit cooler towards the top of the bed. I have used the heated mattress pad for over 20 yrs now, I have had to replace it due to a lighting storm that killed the pad, microwave, tv and computer, but that was the first thing I replaced!! You can get it with Dule controls so I will make on side warmer than the other and put my feet on the warmer side and my body on the cooler side. I always have cold feet so this pad is amazing!! My cat loved it too! Bet your puppy would love it too. Stay warm!

I pray it has warmed up where u are at. Living In Minnesota we seal off the room where the stove is, which I believe is your kitchen. Place a cot near the stove for u to sleep when it is so cold and keep a fire going all night. Your cabin is open and that's too much space for a wood stove to heat. I believe the kitchen has low ceiling which is a plus. Some people call it a snug room in the winter.

Modern woodburners are much more efficient, generate much more heat, and use less wood than older models. An investment, but well worth considering if you have the funds. You obviously insulated the cabin when you had all the work done, so a better heat source would seem to be key. We recently replaced ours and it’s like comparing an old scooter to a Ferrari!

@@gman77gas It sounds like you’ve got an excellent model, but all old woodburners are not equal. I recently replaced a huge 30 year old stove for one half the size which generates double the heat. It’s a Danish design - they also have wooden houses and very cold snowy winters. (Mine doesn’t have a catalytic converter). I’ve been amazed at what a difference it’s made. The right woodburner should be able to heat that cabin. Stay cosy! 🔥

If I remember you don't have a door on your pantry. Not sure, I'm easily confused. If not you could add one or use your blanket trick to help reduce the area you need to heat. Open floor plans are nice but not always practical. In my shop when it's extremely cold I tarp half of it off. Anyway you be careful glad you got your heating fuel. Remember the signs of hypothermia and stay safe.
@AloneinRemoteAlaska
@AloneinRemoteAlaska Год назад
When the oil burner is working (you know when it actually has oil to burn🤣) and the wood stove is burning, the cabin stays pretty warm. Once all the warm air rises, I turn on the ceiling fan and it just blows warm air all throughout the cabin. Feels amazing. And to be honest many times I am opening a window on the second level because its just too warm. Not scheduling a biweekly oil delivery was a mistake on my part and wont happen again. But the wood stove, if properly stoked throughout the night can do an adequate job. I do need a more efficient wood stove though! Hypothermia check! Thank you so much Ashley! 🤗🧡

Please, Don’t let the fire go out! Bank the fire in your stove to burn slowly as long as possible and set an alarm to awaken and refill it before it goes out! You’ll have more time to extract heat from it the longer you can keep your heater exhaust inside your cabin. Can you get a heater/stove with a catalytic converter? I’ve seen them made with a metal frame and soapstone walls to radiate more heat into the room. If you can encase your exhaust chimney with air channels you can design it to pull in cold air which after heating will be pushed out by the heat to whatever you direct it. If you’ve a site to send photos I can draw my idea if necessary although I doubt it’s needed. Having the idea once is usually enough. Lmk. Surely some long timer from around there can give you many more tips. Please stay warm, stay alive and keep updating us. Have a good new year!

We have 3 wood stoves in the house a cookstove in the kitchen, a small wood stove in the living room and a wood furnace in the basement. We had all 3 of them going. Today I just have the cookstove going in the kitchen. It’s 32° today. Our animals got extra bedding, grain and warm water. I had a water bottle freeze sitting on the windowsill in my bedroom and the pipes froze in the kitchen. Glad you are okay and made it through the cold snap. I’m sure you have more coming.

I am so glad you are scheduled for a fuel oil delivery. Miserable holiday for you without heat source other than the wood stove. I know exactly what you were discussing about our pets in this situation. I had a 4 day power outage years ago. My cat and I buried under all the quilts and blankets I could put over us at night. Crappy reading by candle light. I have since moved to another home and so far nothing like that has happened. But I keep my heat on 62 most of the time, even shutting it off during the day. I can't handle it if the place is over heated. Peace love happiness

As long as you can stay warm you are good. I've found clay pots and tealights are good for taking the chill off, they retain a fair amount of heat. It got brutally cold last week and it shocked quite a few neighbors. Hard way to get people's attention. Happy New Year, stay safe, stay warm and know you are on people's minds and prayer lists.

So glad you are not going by just the wood stove and will wait on moving the oil tank, as a Pilot I like backups for the backups. I have seen videos on the "Rocket Strove" that burns pellets that puts out tons of heat and they have a hopper for the pellets that can take about 2 full bags of pellets to feed the stove overnight. Being a "Rocket Stove" it relies on the updraft to keep the pellets lit and not an electric fan. They are not cheap but then neither in a Funeral. 😵😵

LMAO! I have a nice rocket stove that I keep in my vehicle but it just burns branches. Its awesome though! Luckily I have that wall kit that Mike Falanga sent me at the beginning of spring. That will be awesome if I need to wall off the kitchen and just hunker down there for a winter. I have the wood stove and the oil burner but I need to get a Mr Buddy propane heater too! I may even get another wood stove in the living room just in case. I will always have firewood! At least I never forget that one! 😉🧡

Oh my. You looked cold. Your weather came to Minnesota and it was flipping cold. The poor dogs went out to pee did not go where they normally go, they went right next to the house. The one ran off to poop where he normally goes, started running back and in a run lifted his front left paw and could not put it down and would not walk. I ran out and collected him. We have three 18 to 20 pound dogs. They were hanging out by the wood stove during most of the bitter weather. They have sweaters to wear as well. Your right, people need to be very aware of their pets. When I let them out I stood and watched each time and more than once had to go save one of them. Stay warm, your a better woman than I!

HA! Kenai would walk down the two steps, pee and immediately run inside. When he has to go number two he will go slightly further out but he sure goes quickly. I always go outside with Kenai and when its cold I do not let him go far. That night he wanted under the blankets was the first time he has ever wanted to. He was snoring like a buzz saw the moment his head hit the bed under that eclectic blanket 🤣 But he never hangs out by the wood stove. He actually gets too hot upstairs normally and will sleep on the floor or even sleep downstairs! I do put a sweater on Kenai too. He doesn't mind it at all! But Kenai is too big to run out and pick up! I just offer him a cookie and he comes running!! I was cold for sure but I will take that over being sweaty hot from the sun any day! Not better Brenda! Maybe just more stubborn? 😉🧡

We only get -30 c but many multi day power outages as we recently had with Fiona. Oil furnaces can run when hooked to generator but eventually you will run out of gas for the generator. I had 100 litres stored. My Geni used 20 litres a day for 3.5 days then we got the power back. The gas stations with no electricity could not pump so the line ups at the stations with power was 3 hours. Most times the stations ran out in two days. People in Sydney had there power out for a week or more. Some were in big trouble and had to move out. After power was restored in my area I had a friend that I gave the last of my inventory to which was 30 litres. After having 100 litres stored i only had enough for another 1.5 days. Close call and the panic was on with many people.

My neighbor bought a wood stove last summer. He came over the other day and was mad because I had said that they will usually burn six or eight hours before having to stoke them. He said his stove died during the night several times and when he gets up it's totally out. He's not from around here. I had to explain to him, when it's cold the stove drafts much more than when it's above zero. At 40-50 below, and that's what we had for a week, it burns twice as much because it's drafting more than normal. Cold sucks. He now knows. Despite having an engineering degree, they don't teach that in college.

It takes years to learn how to live comfortably in Alaska, especially in the eastern interior. There's also a lot a bad advice. Lessons learned the hard way by most. Keep that tank on the topside, fill it all the way up in the fall. That fuel oil doesn't go bad. Because wood stoves need air to burn, they create a negative pressure in the home, which means that it draws air into the house in every crack and crevice. when it's 20-30-40-50-60-70 below, the colder it is the more air gets sucked in. Log cabins, all of them, get cold on the outside and are warm on the inside. They are made from a round log, which has varying grain that not only twists due to the grain difference of one side to the other, but warp when one side is 40 below and the other 50 or 60 degrees, thus letting in more cold air. Permachink, all the varying insulations don't stop this twisting and air leakage. A Toyo or monitor doesn't create any significant drafting as it sucks in the air from outside. Neither should furnaces and boilers, except when someone doesn't pipe in the air from outside which is very common in Alaska. Let your furnace just suck air from inside the house, it will create a negative pressure. Bring air from the outside and it will create a positive pressure which wont suck in the cold air. Lived in a cabin of the old barn style two winters and you could stand by the front door when the furnace came on and feel the getting sucked in. when one stood at the top of the stairs to the basement where the furnace was, you could feel the draft and the air being sucked down.

@joannewolfe5688
@joannewolfe5688 Год назад
I heat my entire little 1940s (no insulation) Appalachian mountain home with an antique French woodstove, and this fall I stockpiled 2 years worth of premium firewood. However, I have to say that the Christmas Bomb Cyclone, with air temps of -10 F and wind chills of -30 F, thoroughly tested my ability to keep pipes from freezing...and I was fortunate not to lose power as so many did. I now know that when the temps get below zero, keeping the house warm enough requires my full attention. But in addition to the woodstove, I have old-timey kerosene lamps and alternate ways to cook, etc. So I never worry about these big weather events. Duke Energy, which is one of the Big Kahuna power companies here in the SE, instituted rolling blackouts for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Initially everyone assumed it was because of peak demand...turns out it was really because of a cyber attack that lost Duke 1/3 of its generation capacity for 7 hours on the 24th and another 7-8 hours on the 25th. And Duke couldn't buy any power because other companies were at capacity output. IMHO, anyone who is not fully self-sufficient for heat and light (and cooking) going forward is going to be in deep do-do. It's so simple to go to Walmart and buy a Kerosene heater and a cheap little butane cooking stove and some rechargeable lights or candles or and old-timey lamp and lamp oil. I'll never understand why people don't take care of themselves! Looks like you have really warm footwear for indoors! Do you know about Manitoba Mukluks? I swear my feet never get cold in them, no matter how cold it is outdoors (or indoors). I wore them outdoors in super cold weather in Nova Scotia. They aren't work gear, but for daily living they are the bomb. Native made; animal skins/fur; and insulated soles. Glad you were able to get that heating oil so quickly!

A 1940's home heated with an antique woodstove! Now that just sounds perfect! Yeah maybe the stove is not as efficient as the modern stoves but it just takes some more TLC to keep the fire going. I am connected to the electrical grid but I want to be able to survive when it goes out. Which it seems to do often. I may need solar to keep computers going so I can make my RU-vid videos but when talking about just survival, I'd rather be able to heat and cook without needing anything. Just good ole pioneer living. Oil lamps for light. Not necessarily battery operated flashlights or headlamps. But that's not a life for everyone. I do know about Manitoba Mukluks! They are very nice and I hear they are very warm! I do not own a pair yet but I certainly will!

You could try hay bales on the side around the foundation then come spring use the bales in a compost pile to ready for gardening.. it should help keep the cold out some. Lay down plastic so it's easy to move the bales later.. wrap the plastic around the bale as well so it don't get so wet..

Up in upstate n.y I took care of feral animals during winter and you can buy a water bowl that you can plug in and it keeps water from freezing for the animals. You may want to invest in this for your pup. Perhaps invest in another tank? Or a second Woodstove? I know years ago I had a fantastic Woodstove it might be good to get a better one? Also a little electric space heater near your sleeping area. Your cabin seems very large space to heat up. I have a small one for just my bedroom so I don't have to run the whole house heating system. Buy that bowl for your dog barely takes much electricity to keep the water from freezing. I wished you'd take Mail so I could send you one. So that's how farmers up north do it for their animals. Very small electric current so don't notice it on the electric bill. Happy New Year to you both. I worry about you up there. Please keep on top the freezing water conditions

I know about these heated water bowls as I have researched them for livestock. If I can just keep the cabin warm though, Kenai's water should be ok. But as for your suggestions I think I will do both! Get an extra tank AND another wood stove. I was trying to see where another wood stove would work best over the last weekend. And I will buy a newer Mr Buddy heater just in case. I think these will all be more than enough to keep the cabin warm at all times. Since the heat all rises, the upstairs is usually pretty warm (or at least warmer) so just the main level needs better heat.

It worked great no harmful fumes that I could detect until the next spring when I went to clean the windows, I discovered an almost sticky brown film on the inside of the windows that I thought were on the outside and after further inspection I also found this staining on my walls which I thought was from smoking my pipe indoors all winter, lol. Plus, when the thought to use the propane heater arose, it was mainly to save money. Until of coarse the price of propane went sky high. Nothing near as bad as you have endured this winter bless your heart, the winter here has been unseasonably harsh and has dropped to 0 F.

Wow, am I thankful you got your oil so fast. Praise God. Like you said it's a learning curve....no shame in that. We all have to learn. If we have brown outs with electricity we have a little buddy heater. Generators are too expensive and we do not have a good spot for a wood stove and no wood supply. It is a challenge. Yikes. But our state has had no issues so far. Sounds funny but would a tent over your bed keep warm air in from you and your dog. We were advised that is a help. And we so have tents we can set up in the house. They make them for over a bed also. Blessings till next video.
