I go winter car camping in the woods with my new InstaFire Vesta Heater & Stove. I had to shovel a lot of snow to get into this spot. This is my first time van camping with this new Instafire vesta heater and I was very impressed with the heat it put off and how well it cooked food/boiled water. I don't know if I would call it an extreme cold night, but it definitely was freezing temperatures overnight and the Instafire vesta heater kept us very warm. I may start using the Instafire vesta more often on even extremely cold nights while winter car camping in my campervan.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

I really enjoy the bible verses, good stuff brother, Glory be to the lord!
So great to bring your daughter along to experience off grid camping! Great dad!
Your daughter is beautiful!
Nice video! It looks like you both had fun and is such a peaceful spot to car camp! Thanks for showing us the Vesta heater it looks much safer than a propane heater and probably doesn't give off fumes like propane does. Make sure you always have healthy snacks on hand like nuts or peanut butter because anytime you're shoveling snow it's like doing a workout . May God keep you and your family healthy and safe!
I definitely agree on needing some quick healthy snacks. I just didn’t eat enough or drink enough water that day, once I sat down with some food and water I felt much better.
I'm sick watching this. Its making me feel a little better.
I have two of those heater/stoves. the fan will turn even with 1 canned heat going. It uses the same stuff that cooks use for food service and it is very safe to use inside. I used the heater with 1 can to help keep my bedroom warm in an old draft house to supplement the furnace. These things work great and you can cook with it. I found for a 8 inch frying pan it's best to use at least 2 cans. I love my little heater/camp stove. It also works great for power outages.
Love your set up and the night walk. Very cool. Enjoy camping with your daughter. They grow up way too fast.
are the dollar store cans effective? Do you ever refilled the cans instead of buying new ones
I'm going to check into this, I was considering a $2K installed Planar diesel heater. For as much as I will ever use it, this may do the trick and save space.
Cool. Remember, any flame consumes Oxygen, most emit carbon monoxide.
And don't fall asleep with engine running, where it might snow, build up around ur van causing exaust issue.
Love it. Love it.
Nice to see your daughter camping with you. When my kids were young, my wife ran a Girl Scout troop and my son and I would go on the camp outs with our own tent. We had a huge 10 person tent for the girls and two moms. The campfires, skits, hikes were epic. Hope you and your wife can take your daughter and a friend camping in the summer - it is a blast. Cheers! ❤
The kids will have wonderful, life long memories of camping. I do!
Awesome as always.
I think that's awesome that you brought your daughter camping, a little father daughter time it's perfect.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS Y'ALL
🤗HUGS🤗
Amen, thank you and God bless! 😁
Put a flat rock or something to raise the heat can to get your water to boil quicker.
You could probably get some Mylar survival sheets and staple them to the inside of your tarps and have all that heat you’re making reflect back to you.
I think I would have to put down either a tarp or an outdoor rug just to keep from tracking snow/dirt etc to a minimum. Other than that pretty cool!
Looks like y'all had a good trip! That heater is a good piece of kit to have for emergencies. I have one, and it puts out a decent amount of heat. I can heat a small room with 2 cans in it. Cooking is ok, but it's more for warming food than actually cooking. I feel it is worth picking one up, along with extra chafing cans.
My Godly brother, how blessed I was to come across your channel today, nothing makes me smile more than another brother in The Lord camping with family, speaking of Jesus, you got it going on! Praise God!
Thanks Brian, God bless you bro!
she will be doing that with her kids someday....you dont forget moments like that for sure!nice peaceful video.
Great Dad U R !!!! She will remember and cherish the memory....
I can't wait to go camping with my nephew. His parents are not outdoor people so it was cool that his first experience of sleeping outside (in a tent) got to be with Auntie ❤️ it's nice to get ideas of what to do with kids camping
Quality time out with your kid is such a good thing. Creating memories to cherish forever.
💕😊🌸
So happy to see others have found this gem of a heater. I bought it about a year ago on Amazon with no reviews but its been my go-to heater for camping. In the car or in a tent. It's been such an amazing little heater to have.
Your daughter will rememer these outings. I take mine out for photography. That heater looks pretty cool, but i think id stick with a mr buddy if i needed a heater. Anyway, great video man, Keep u the good work.
They grow up super quick, glad you get to take her out with you. Hope your health is doing well, God bless bro!
Loved camping with my parents when I was a kid. Cozy set up. I would have knocked one of those down and burned my leg, you have good memory and awareness skills.
😂 thanks and I wish I had experiences like that when I was a kid.
😂
I''m glad you showed that heater. I've been considering one for localized warmth if power goes out in the winter. And great that your daughter comes with you some of the time.
@Pat Luxor crack a window.
Yea, God is great. And you are an awesome Dad. Fantastic post. Loved how cosy you made it. Loved it, I subbed. I'm in on that heater & cell booster! Thanks again. Be blessed. 😃
Thanks and God bless you 😁
Super Sunday in the woods, man I would be eating steaks for supper 🍽
Next time 😁
I have one of these heater/stoves. They are well worth having
Thanks for the fun time and the COOLEST🥶Superbowl viewing I've ever seen😁may God bless you and family my brother...
Thanks bro, God bless you! Love the channel name, I’ll have to check you out
@@TolbersCamping LOL... yeah its a strange path our Father has me on for sure... i just fly drones and add scripture and music to it to glorify our Lord Jesus.... praising and raising His name with drones :) much love in Christ to you from here in Colorado....
@@DronesForGodsGlory that’s honestly really cool and creative. I love drones, planning to get another very soon and also started practicing fpv on a simulator. Getting a lot better and once I feel comfortable I’ll get an actual fpv drone. Keep doing what you are doing, God always has a bigger plan you may not see yet
Oh my lord 😂😂😂 your daughter said "it's going to try to eat us" then the "slide" is clearly heard 💪... I busted out laughing... I have 2 daughters and been there done that. It was cool brother. P.S Your daughter us very sweet.
Hey Matt, great video did you ever make the kitchen sink while camping? It's fried potatoes with onions and peppers and either kabasi or hotdogs you add in halfway through cooking potatoes. Then when potatoes and meat and veggies are done, whisk up scrambled eggs with salt and pepper and pour that all over the fried potatoes in the pan cover the lid and let it sit five minutes with the heat off. Turn the heat back on and add shredded cheddar or you can use Velveeta or American slices and put the lid back on just till the cheese melts. This is an excellent meal and very filling and the kids even love it.
Sounds really good, I’m the farthest thing from a cook though 😂 I’ll buy the food and someone else can make it. Honestly I am trying to start learning how to cook 👨🍳
@@TolbersCamping it's really easy. I use a slicer called a mandolin to slice the potatoes all perfectly evenly thin so they cook really fast and you just turn the burner on medium-high and about every five to ten minutes you have to flip the potatoes after about 15 minutes you add in your peppers and onions and hotdogs. Continue cooking until dawn and then add your scrambled eggs and put the lid on till the eggs are cooked, then put your cheese over top and throw in about a quarter cup of water and that will help your cheese melt and it will evaporate. Let me know if you make it. 😋
Aww your daughter is so pretty!Thanks for showing that heater. Cool how it has the built in thermal fan. Sweet set up for watching the Super Bowl looks Amazeballs! God Bless
That was interesting. I like the add on tent. And was wondering about that heater. Thank you for showing it and how it works. Nice to see your daughter and you having camping time. Was interesting seeing the eyes in the forest. God Bless.
Thanks and God bless!
so it was 70 degrees and overnight till 6am --ish.. it was still on. and only dropped 20 degrees. that is awesome.
Love the night hike 🤙🏽🤙🏽
just hearing the snow under your feet as you walk gives me a chill.... Great video, thanks for sharing!
Just found your videos, I'm getting through them. I like how you just an ordinary average guy like the rest of us. Just shows you don't need one of those really expensive Mercedes high roofs and gourmet food to have a good time camping in the van and whatnot. Look forward to going through your catalog of videos, I myself got old '80s Chevy van and you have given me A lot of insight on how you keep yours warm and cold so I can do it with mine.
Thanks for sharing your trip with your daughter. I'm definitely going to purchase the Vesta and portable toilet and the booster for my daughter and her camping adventures. Thanks again for sharing.
The eye looked pretty big but you didn't show any fear. You were well prepared too. Good job.
A tip for mountain house egg dishes always put less water than it says😊👍
That is an awesome heater thank you for showing that heater off I will definitely be getting that heater! I also appreciate the fact you time everything its very nice to know how long it takes for things to happen. Great vid, Great channel I'll be sticking around for sure!
"Ohh, my light don't work...just kidding" 😂
😂
This is inspiring, I hope I can camp like this one day soon.
I hope you can also, it’s so fun!
Kudos for spending time with your kiddo. It will be times like this that she will remember.
♥️
Awesome, thank you for the link for the heater, I have a camper van and have been wanting to camp in the winter, and now this can make it possible. Thank you for the video 🤗
No problem, hope it works great for you 😃
Also my favorite thing to do when eating noodles is to smash them as small as possible. It's noodles not Italian pasta 😊
I see the teenager arises only when food is brought out 🤣
Right 😂
this is great Matt, another video. thats a great heater Matt
Thanks Rich!
I use a extra tarp to help hold heat in, especially around the cracks. Inside the van the heat with run you out. Love those stoves!
Looks like fun! Awesome content!
Great car camping video! The morning shot is wonderful ❤️
Thanks ♥️
Just a video for me. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank You 👍
That little heater is amazing. Thanks for sharing. It’s probably cheaper to run than the Mr Buddy as well.
God’s country. We sometimes take our lives for granted. When we get out in nature, especially alone, you can feel so much closer to God. He created an incredible earth for us. I pray more people will learn to appreciate it more and take better care of it. Be safe. Thanks again for taking us with you. ❤
I would get some fabric and velcro and make a skirt to go the length under the sliding door to stop the cold air coming from under the van.
Good idea 😁
Don't forget to make it bigger over the wheel wells if they're within your tent space.
I have a large tall coffee mug that says "Good morning, this is God. I'll be taking care of all your problems today." I use that mug every day.
I already love the channel, keep it up dude!!
Nice video bro!! I love them little candles and that heat unit very cool!! Always awesome seeing your van and the new gear!
Thanks bro 👊🏽
Nice set up i love hot tent camping so this van camping is pretty cool
The scripture sealed my subscription. ❤ Thank you for sharing.
When I was a truck driver and later,when living in my car, I kept mini moos to add to my hot tea .They'd work in hot chocolate,too. They don't need refrigeration, and they are real half and half .little creamers
Another great gadget! Stay blessed 🙏🏾
God is Great God is Good He Guards Our Neighborhood , Blessings in Your Adventures, Enjoy watching inspiring programs !
Thanks Jerome, God bless!
You put in some work for good free campsite, Nicely done!
That was fun ! Super Bowl in the Sticks !!! ..and Comfy too. I'm glad you tested the Vesta in a van.
I didn't get one yet because the results for cooking & heat in a small room in a house are less impressive,
but the minimal space of a car seems to be more of it's sweet spot. I will probably still use faster methods for the
cooking tasks but for an overnight heater it looks good ,...I'd like to see the difference in humidity vs a Mr Buddy.
Peace !!
I’d say ceiling height is going to be a big factor when comparing a van to a small room. A small bathroom would definitely be warm but a small bedroom it will only probably warm it up a few degrees.
My daughter is sleeping **makes the absolute most noise possible**
This is actually where I saw my first black bear… “What!?” 😂😂😂😂
Sweet set up you have. I really like how the tent connects to the van!
Thanks Steve! It’s fun constantly trying to make it more comfortable
Definately great heater, awesome camp set up.
I'm really surprised it worked so well. Worth checking it out for times when I'm camping with no power.
Let's go out and see some eyes? Sends a chill up my spine....and I don't scare easily....great video...take care....🇦🇺
It’s a fun thrill, usually I see much more but my daughter wasn’t dressed warm enough so was a short walk.
That's a pretty decent setup you got. I'm saving up to get a sun fun kits 4.0kwh battery to build a small portable power unit. You could save quite a bit by refilling those used fuel cans with 90% isopropyl alcohol. It's much cheaper than paying around $2 or more per 6 hour unit.
You don't want to use isopropyl alcohol it creates nasties didn't burn cleanly these units are usually filled with ethanol or methanol or a mixture of the 2 they burn really clean
I like this heat / Stove …. I’m definitely going look into this for my pop up camper ……
I am in love with your videos!
Haha I love how your just enjoying nature and camping. Keep it up. Thank you.
♥️
I have never seen one of those heaters. I like that a lot. I like canned heat for cooking. Nice.
Great video, thanks 👍
You had me with the cup!
Thank you for the video on the heater
Very cool setup! 👍👍👍
Thanks 😁
nice heater.. i’m sold.
Awesome job!
Greetings from Greek brother! Once again excellent video, it's amazing that you can share those experiences with your daughter. God bless you and your family 🙏🙌 P.S. We finally made your first video!
Hey Matt great video, some cool new gadgets. Also I am a new sub.
cool setup
Love your videos brother and the scripture always a good video
Sterno gives off more CO than other heat sources so it's a good idea to vent when using it
Yes I always vent like I said in video
Awesome video and nice set up.
Thanks Jeff
Thank you, very informative
That Vesta heater looks dope! I like it!
I think this is something you should try out while tent camping bro. I know it’s not tiny but if you aren’t walking super far or have it on a sled it might be a good option for cooking and heat
@@TolbersCamping that’s what I was thinking! Just use my bigger tent and it would be great!
GREAT VIDEO
This is where I saw my first black bear….. “WHAT?!?!?!” Lol 😂
Nice job. Would suggest blocking off area under van door to eliminate draft coming in from under van.
Im sure you saw I did that in the video 😁
block both sides to save heat inside the van, but becareful of exhaust being blocked if it snows more.
Thank you for demonstrating the stove heater. It would be nice if there was a skirt from the van to the ground held on by magnets. That would stop the cold draft that is coming from under the van. Glad yoi ised the snow ❄️ to stop the draft from under the van.😊
Good Vids... For the love of all please start eating some fresh foods and veggies. Those MRE type packs and soups are packed full of preservatives and sodium. Glad your daughter is on board for the adventure!
that's a good review 70 degrees in winter with snow
Keep some small hydration packets around. Takes the shakes right out of you💜
Totally, I’m getting some 😁 thanks
Love it my brother 😎
Thanks bro!
Great video
Thanks Rodney!
Love this channel.
Thanks Steve, glad to have you!
5:38 SKOL, Vikings!
I’m ordering, turbo awesome 👏 👏👏👏
When camping all you have is time to make things a little easier on yourself.
Really high quality content. Cheers from Pakistan
