Being the cheapskate I am, I took a shovel that someone had tossed out due to a broken handle. Cut it short, made a little "ball knob" on my lathe for the cutoff end, and that entrenching device stays in the truck at all times.

@gilg2560 6 месяцев назад

Looks like you forgot the tent insulation too. That would have been a good test.

@BrianWatersOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

I left it at home on purpose to “test” with the diesel heater only….but that didn’t work out so well😂

@esiebert7625 6 месяцев назад

So why not use the SS2? Too wide for the platform? Where did you source the elbow and other parts for the exhaust? The one thing I don’t like is that output vent hardly protrudes from the heater so it’s hard to get a clamp on it to attach a hose. Also the SS2 doesn’t have an air intake hose at all like the smaller one, it basically has a vent opening on the side.

@BrianWatersOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

SS2 is a bit wide, and the “feet” on it make it unstable. It would be fine with the straps though around the tire step. And yeah, I don’t like the intake design or the flange that’s tiny. I ended up “screwing” the 3” duct on the flange and it fed itself inside the box which holds it pretty tight. The hardware I bought is all in the links in the description.

Wow. That was an amazing campsite. Those lake reflections when you first pulled up were incredible. As far as staying warm, you could boil some water and put it in your water bottle or mug and throw that in the sleeping bag with you. As far as your guy lines, you could use reflective paracord but that only helps if everyone is wearing a headlamp. I buy bags of glow sticks after Halloween and the 4th of July and attach them to the middle of our lines. BTW - I’m glad you had your empty bottle with you in the tent. LOL

HI Brian, I really enjoy your videos... I would suggest that you have a 12 volt cigarette lighter connection to connect to your power source... and keep in your tote box... because it seems as though you convert from 110 volt back to 12volt to use your diesel heater. You can go direct from cigarette connection to your heater without having to use a converter...

@BrianWatersOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

This heater takes around 15 amps dc on startup. Most power stations only have a 10amp dc “cigarette style” output port. I’ve tried to run this heater on this power station and it cannot power the heater due to the higher amp draw, which is why I use a dc to ac converter👍🏻

I was a Boy Scout, and spent a full career in the Navy, and still can't tie a Bowline. I tell people I'm knot dyslexic :) . As others mentioned, jeans/cotton do not do well in cold weather. Get some fleece, and an outer shell to break/repel the wind/rain when needed. Have never been a fan of sleeping bags, as I find them too confining.

You are just having an off day! Sweats over jeans every time, cotton just doesn't keep you warm like synthetics will. Here in the PNW, we live in our fleece during the fall and winter. Columbia has a lot of it on clearance right now, as well as other stores like REI and such. Perfect time to get some great deals! I'm liking the mods to the heater, I'm looking forward to seeing what else you do to your setup. I like to make kits for my camping gear, like a stove/fire kit with lighters, solid fuel tabs, ferro rod, lighter, etc, everything I need to use my stove or make a fire. I have a list for everything in the kit, and I replenish it as soon as I get home so it is grab and go. I have another kit for everything I need for cooking such as utensils, plates, napkins, blah, blah, blah, check the list and refill when I get home. It is really a stress saver and convenient that I can just grab the kits I need for that trip and know everything is there. 🙂

I would like to also add a portable fire pit so that you can just bring the fire closer to where you are sitting.

From the beginning I was wondering why he didn't just keep his shell top and then put the tent on top of that. That would give you so much extra space protected from the elements. Weight can be the only reason I assume but if anyone ever heard him mention it please let me know. For me that's going to be my build. Mainly because if I need to take a quick nap when I'm on a road trip I can stretch out in the back of the truck instead of taking the time to open the tent.

They do run on 12v, but my power station (and 99% of all of them) only have a 10amp dc output. This diesel heater takes close to 15 amps dc on startup and it trips my power station. That’s why I bought a converter to use to plug it into the ac side of the power station, which runs it without any problem.

Do you prefer the electric kettle over a Jetboil? I vaguely recall you maybe having used both so curious your preference.

@BrianWatersOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Both have pros and cons. Jetboil is good in warmer weather, isobutane doesn’t do well in cold. Kettle doesn’t matter if it’s cold or hot outside, but you need at least 500 watts of a/c power. Plus, with the kettle it cools down almost instantly so you can put it back up when you’re done and not have to wait for it to cool down. Jetboil is more “fun” to use though

Your truck cap set up will be hard to beat as far as all-around comfort and ease of setup. Camper will be more comfortable, but more trouble setting up and excess gas usage to pull. I love my truck cap set up more than any method of camping. The only downside is when multiple family members are going.

I prefer this setup much more surprisingly

Nice camp Brian it wouldn't be a proper trip if you bring everything at least that is how I camp 😅, imagine traveling 4 hours setting up and realizing you forgot your sleeping bag 🥶. I had to start my truck and warm up around 2 in the morning that trip was miserable and I would do it again tomorrow.

Don’t feel bad about forgetting your stuff. The wife will send me to pick up stuff I’ll come with three things and forgetting her one thing 😂

Plz don’t advertise everything, you advertise even your jacket !!!!

@BrianWatersOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

It’s not advertising if I bought it. I have no problem sharing items I bought and like and can recommend. There’s a lot more channels out there to watch if you don’t prefer this content.
