I got a 12V heated blanket to run off my Bluetti. Pop that in your sleeping bag to heat it up, and you'll have a nice cozy sleep. It works indoors, too, if you get a power cut. Jon in rural BC, Canada

@BrendanExplores Год назад

Cheers Jon, thanks for the tip 🙂 and thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍

@durhamdynamo7793 Год назад

Now you have a portable power station you could also invest in an electric blanket. They are brilliant.

@BrendanExplores Год назад

A few people have said that yes 👍. I'll take a closer look at a few 🙂. Thanks for the suggestion

@justinnkim Год назад

I have a delta pro and I can run three electric blankets from it

@ianashton1593 Год назад

That would be what I’d do as well. Have been using one I bought off Amazon for ages, it uses very little power and keeps you toasty warm.

@JOYsCAmpeR_ADV Год назад

2:22 LOL I almost spit my coffee there!! 😆😆 Lucky you Brendan!!!👌 Unfortunately for me the 12 Greek Gods from Olympus mountain have stop listening our prayers long time ago!😕 So I made a DIY separate electric system for my micro camper. Don't need an EcoFlow (at least on this vehicle).😉

Whaha the fun you had finding the ecoflow behind a tree 🌲🌲🤣🤣 I'm very interested to see if it gives you the heat, please keep us updated on that. I camp a lot in my car too and tried some things out to provide heat....and failed. Although for a comfortable sleep we use mini electric blankets from NatureHike that work on a simple powerbank, not leaving without those!

@jasminem3902 Год назад

Take along as much backup as you can when it comes to temperature. The thing with batteries like this , they come with operational temperature and if it gets too cold they will literally NOT work. I have this unit and so far I like it...but if you are going somewhere far just make sure you take along a few just in case items to keep you warm enough because while these are great, they unfortunately can fail to work if it is either too hot or too colds and that includes even being able to charge them up. Happy camping.

@BrendanExplores Год назад

Cheers buddy 👍 yeh I'll definitely be taking a good quilt wherever I go just incase the heating system doesn't work properly 🙂

@sherryh7485 Год назад

Don't know if it'll help or even work for keeping the batteries operational during very low temps, a RU-vidr suggested placing those hand warmer things around the battery pack.

@paulbennett1097 Год назад

@Waynes_Travels Год назад

Great minds think alike, I bought the 80w version last winter to go in my T5 van. I used it at a show in may, it did makd a difference and used it again a couple of weeks ago at the overlander show. Works great with my jackery explorer. Will be great in a car. Your dad is right with the pink Himalayan salt, a lot better for you than regular table salt. I feel a van is not far away for you too 👍

@BrendanExplores Год назад

Oooo brilliant! Great to hear it worked for you 🙂. Where did you mount it by any chance? And was it a game changer for you?

@Waynes_Travels Год назад

@@BrendanExplores I didn't mount it tbh because I use it in my house when it's not in the van. I leave it on the floor of the van but move it about where I need it, makes any excellent foot warmer in the morning aswell. I coupled it with a timer so it cuts in and out through the night, first time I used it I drained my jackery completely falling asleep with it on 🤦‍♂️

@Fromatic Год назад

@BrendanExplores Год назад

@lemdixon01 Год назад

To keep cool in my car during the summer, I bought two 5 volt DC fans and hung them on the ceiling near my face and I used to buy ice from the supermarket for 1 pound. Also she really hot, a flannel of cold water on your face or where ever else from time to time helps.

@JBDTV Год назад

That thing is pretty cool, thanks for sharing Brendan! It got me thinking: If you were to fully charge the EcoFlow and plug the thing into an electric car (because you can charge a car from a 3 pin as you probably know, albeit slowly), how many miles would you get out of it before the battery is drained I wonder? It got me thinking if you could travel forever in an electric car, but of course slowly (charge the EcoFlow with solar, use that to charge car), but I think the electic car's battery is too big for the EcoFlow to make an impact

@BrendanExplores Год назад

Hey Joe, glad you liked the video buddy 👍 yeh I don't think technology is there yet in regards to solar charging while driving without needing another power source. But if a car can charge from a solar charger then hopefully the tech isn't too far away 😁

@supercrazysane Год назад

Congratulations on the freebie and nicely done to showcase just some of Ecoflows potential use cases. I was on holiday when they ran the launch promotion, what they didn’t say was the promotion was also limited. The UK promotion sold out lightning fast, leaving about a week or more for the promotion window, leaving a lot of people frustrated and confused as to why the promotion limits were not made clear. All that said, I’m probably going to press the button and if you get a % kickback with this link (I heard could be up to 8%) then that makes me feel better, as you say, everyone needs to earn a living, so why not 🙏

@BrendanExplores Год назад

Well my car camping, came to grinding halt.😤😭. Upset. C3 Picasso that I had used for only 3 months or less engine failed. Upgrading is proving more costly then planned. Did get money back from C3 Picasso, but now looking for cars. Don't want too old a car, due to coming out of a 12 year vehicle, previously that in repairs ended up, out valuing what I paid for the car. I thought the C3 Picasso was the ideal upgrade solution. It was, and had some fantastic trips in it, it was roomy and brilliant for my needs but wasn't meant to be. Looking now for replacement within budget. That is proving difficult. Oh well onwards and up, hope you get the winter car camping sorted. 👍🏿 lady car camper 🇬🇧 I will be back in another vehicle in the coming days. What make and model is yours Brendan?

You can also get portable car heaters that go into the cigarette lighter but you have to unplug it even when switched off and best to turn off the car battery, which can be a pain to get up to take the keys out of the ignition and remove the heater from the plug. I also have a DC kettle to boil water which looks more like a flask and can also be used as a heater if you leave the water in there.

@lemdixon01 Год назад

I've been experimenting with sleeping in my car but I put 2 single air beds in the back, one on top of the other, sun blinds over the windows and cheap windscreen 3 pound each reflectors from tescos on the ceiling, and walls in the back.

I felt the same for many months mate. Maybe take a look at their other options? They do cheaper alternatives as well 🙂

@dieselbushcraft1299 Год назад

Just a thought but those emergency foil blankets reflect heat back into the body, would foil glued to the top side of your bed do the same when you are sleeping. Place the foil below you mattress but on top of the plywood base of the bed.

@BrendanExplores Год назад

That's a pretty good idea 👍 I may well give that a try 🙂 thanks buddy

@izzilloyd-cook126 Год назад

This works, I’ve done it. Decathlon sell emergency blankets for 99p. Also bubble wrap on the windows s an extra layer is good

It's a dimplex tube heater from Screwfix 🙂👍

@BrendanExplores Год назад

Thanks buddy and the Delta 2 is their newest high capacity model. They do units that have a smaller battery but still have plenty of juice 👍 try taking a look at the River series 🙂. Keep an eye out in the near future on Amazon prime as they may have some discounts around black Friday 😉

This was the last vanlife channel without a free EcoFlow, but it was only a matter of time. 😕 This will not work, 80 watts is simply not enough to heat a car. Would you expect an 80w lightbulb to heat your car? It is basically the same.

@BrendanExplores Год назад

I can appreciate there is a few other channels sponsored by EcoFlow as well but if I ever want to create content full time and make more videos then I have to open up conversations with brands in hope of increasing my income 👍. I've wanted one of these for a long time so it was a huge shock when they reached out to me to collaborate. I hope you can understand when you see a sponsored segment on my channel in the future as it's a vital part for any content creators income. P.s, out of all the brand's that contact me to feature products I maybe mention 10% of them. Hope you can keep the faith and continue to enjoy my content 🙂

@@BrendanExplores but the blanket is variable control so long term would use less power ? The tube heater is either on or off ? Good idea though the tube heater in a small area to warm the whole area. Maybe try a combination of both with the portable power pack ?
