@@Steve-dy1wf I’ve been watching for maybe over a year. Maybe a half a year before he hooked up with Julie? He had me scratching my head a couple times 😆. But his videos are fun to watch though. I can tell he’s losing his mind from all that solitude.
At some point you may want to consider building a simple, yet sturdy pergola type structure over the tent. Something with corrugated roof panels that would shed the snow and keep it off the tent. Just an idea for the future
Flagstaff can get as much as four feet of snow. My wife and I drove out to Flagstaff in 1997. We kept noticing huge piles of snow on large vacant lots. Finally we got into a conversation with a Navajo man that worked in Flagstaff. He said a snow front came in and circled the mountain there. It dumped snow for 17 straight hours. When it was over people had to drop out of windows. They took almost a week for the town to open up completely. It can snow insane amounts out there occasionally. Glad everything was okay after you dug out. Take care my friend. Vaughn
LmMfAo ! 😆 What an intense introduction... and what else could you expect with so few roof struts, and yes, not being there to knock the snow off BUT what an impressive job Kodiak did in the seams ! Killer video drop, and be safe out there. I look forward to seeing much more. Jus' sizayin'. 👍 Respectfully, Mr. T.C. Cross Detroit, Michigan 48234 🇺🇸
Just so you know Juniper is quite a bit harder of a wood than pine is by about 70% roughly. Pain may burn hotter because of the Sap. and just a sidenote, you may want to think about a spark arrestor of some sort, your smokestack.
I've said it before... but tipis and yurts are designed for both high winds and snow... Maybe a little too granola for your style. lol In any case, an internal 2*4 frame structure will be 100% more storm worthy than merely pole end supports and tensioned rope pull outs.
You need an extension Pole like they use on roofs to get the snow off... Totally helps and you pull it back to you... It takes the snow off so easily... But yeah man you totally sunk that roof down
So my Sibley canvas tent can hold about a 20 degree difference. What does yours hold? We put it out in o-10 degree weather and it stayed in the 30's inside. Note-ran out of wood for the wood stove too.
I am glad the tent could handle the snow load and did not tear. Reccomend a a snow rake to help remove the snow. Also if it is light snow, try a leaf blower.
A tent with a slope like that is no bueno. Sort of a field tent. I would not leave it set up when gone. Thats a bummer however. I bet something with a different pitch would be fine. As for the wood...if staying up with wood processing is hard, time-wise or finger-wise, there are pretty cheap hydrolic and more expensive electric wood splitters that make life easy. That and a chainsaw (even a battery powered chainsaw) and your golden. I personally just baton wood, but I am not set up in a semi-permanent camp like you are.
Not a hater here from California but the drama here is just stupid you should call your dad to help fund a recovery rescue. And have him explain to you you're not cut out to be living in a truck camper.... he probably funds your project because you won't leave home... which I agree with 100%.... okay okay okay now I'm ready for the responses from the people that like to watch and learn from the DRAMA....LOL
Doooood,I know. You got to get in touch with some of those hot chicks with RU-vid channels, and invite them up to do a video. Should boost both of your channels. Might have to bathe or something, but should be an interesting video. Tell her to bring some groceries...
