    The chopping wood segment/editing was the best..lol EDIT: (I sometimes comment without watching the entire video) Regarding your stove - VERY IMPORTANT - Do NOT push your chimney inside the collar, as suggested in the comments, to fix the smoke issue. If you do, you risk carbon monoxide poisoning while you're asleep. The fix is two-fold. First, your stove should have come with an adjustable clamp (mechanics strap) to secure the chimney to collar. If you don't have one buy one at the hardware store. Then slip it on chimney and place chimney OVER collar. Then tighten strap with hands if you buy the butterfly type. Or use leatherman if nut/screwdriver style. It doesn't have to be super tight, I tighten mine with my hands. And secondly, that chimney is waaay too tall for the height of that tent. It has little support for the height and "could" collapse in strong wind even though you have it guyed out. Rule of thumb is never more than 50% above tallest peak of tent, ideally a 2-3 feet above tallest peak of tent. A much shorter chimney will retain heat travelling less distance and the pipe temperature reducing carbon build up. No need for clean fire log. Hope this helps, Xander. You continually produce some of the best outdoor content on CZcams.

      You talk out of your backside and obviously love the sound of your own opinion. Little chance of carbon monoxide poisoning in a tent such as this one in the video. The chimney should not only clear the apex of the domain, but also be in tune with the surrounding trees. Guyed out, it is going nowhere in a hurry. Stop with your doom and gloom advice.

    As an Ontario hunter myself, you are only required to wear orange during the rifle / muzzleloading seasons if you are carrying a valid deer/moose/ bear licence. But for hunting small game with bow or gun orange is not required, but still recommend if your hunting in an area with an open rifle season for big game

    • @MrFreeGman
      @MrFreeGman Před rokem +50

      This is actually incorrect. You're required to wear hunter orange during open gun season for any big game, regardless of what and how you're hunting, with a couple exceptions. The 2022 Ontario Hunting Regulation Summary states: "All licensed hunters, *including bow hunters*, falconers, bear hunters, and trappers who are hunting under their trapping licence during a gun season for deer, elk or moose, are required to wear hunter orange. This requirement does not apply to persons who are hunting double-crested cormorants or migratory game birds, except woodcock."
      And that makes sense, because why would it matter what you're hunting if other people are hunting big game near you? They don't know you're only hunting for grouse when they accidentally shoot you. Personally I wear an orange hat regardless of when and what I'm hunting just to be safe (except for spring turkey season).

    • @xull1x123
      @xull1x123 Před rokem +7

      The way I remember it without having to read the long verbage again in the regulations is.... if there is any open season for big game, I need to wear hunter orange. This is the bare minimum. I personally wear hunter orange even when rifles are allowed for fox and wolves. I also wear it even if I am not hunting and hiking thru my own land. Its surprising how seemigly in the middle of nowhere I run across other hunters.

Great camping ! I think the best part of your camping experiences is that you always manage to have fun. You bring us along like we’re your best friends. You aren’t afraid to show us both your successes and failures. As for your stove pipe, it’s not always possible, if you start your fire with pine and burn hardwood you’ll cut down on the pitch buildup in your chimney. A buildup can cause a chimney fire.

    Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! The nice thing about being in the woods in winter it's so quiet and peaceful. It is a bit wet and messy. A suggestion on your tent, I have a similar tent, When there is snow I pitch it between 2 trees with a ridge pole tied to the trees and tie the tent to the pole. This prevents the tent from sagging. sometimes I'll carry an extra Nylon tarp to use as a rain fly over the ridge pole. Also, the hunter orange thing, that depends on where U are and the regulations for your area. It should all be online. Thanks for all U do!! God Bless!! Merry Christmas!!!

    Nice video, thanks.
    There are creosote removers you can buy. for the pipe to clean it up for now. Rutland do one I think. Let it sink in for a while and do its stuff then brush out with a steel brush.
    I don't have a pipe like that and can't do my chimneys but I use a powder regularly on the hot embers just when the fire is dying down, and it prevents creosote build up.
    Never burn sappy wood or pine, spruce etc. Only well seasoned dry hardwood. And yes, the length of the pipe leads to flue gases getting too cool higher up which is a cause.

    If you want to avoid gunking up the chimney in the future try to only use hardwood as fuel. I'm sure you know this, but it also burns a lot slower and hotter in the stove in addition to not covering everything in thick resin. (and yeah, easier said than done, sometimes you have to take what you can get).

      That won’t help much, as the chimney gunking up not only because of the water in the wood, but because of the moisture in the air. This tinfoil tube creates the dew point inside the chimney in the negative degree and it makes it “gunk”. I would suggest to burn the stove “full throttle” before you pack it up, this makes it less sticky or even dry and “crusty”

      I would suggest ditch the spark arrestor at the top, put one (thick mesh) on the bottom of the pipe where the heat is strong enough to burn off the carbon. And a shorter pipe! Better rolled than Xanders! You want that smoke up and away fast as possible, minimum time in contact with cold pipe walls to condense out tar

    Xander! Word of warning, the smokey stuff was the creosote dripping back down the chimney onto the stove. Better chimneys on tent stoves over lap so the dripping stays inside and burns up. If you can tuck that chimney inside the collar rather than over the outside it would be better. Great video otherwise!

    • @brianadventures9622
      @brianadventures9622 Před rokem +1

      Don't quote me, but I think the way to get rid of that build up in the chimney is a ripping hot fire before you tear down... It softens it and burns up. Cleaning at home... Not sure what to do... Maybe set it up and theybmake a cleaning log to burn in your home fireplace, maybe would work.

    • @KK-TO
      @KK-TO Před rokem +1

      Agree with Brian with regards to the hot fire, but I would say that it has to run hotter through-out your trip (+250). But I also suspect that your flue is way too long and that the some build-up may occur regardless because of cooling. Having said that, I am not sure what the safe minimum distance is between the stove and the tent (I suspect that depends if you go vertical as Xander does or diagonal like Jon of Lost Lakes does).

  • @steve8421
    @steve8421 Před rokem +3

    Since you're sledding most of your gear, your custom tent setup requires custom length stovepipe readily available at your local hardware stove. Don't collapse the stove and put the pipe sections inside the stove. Buy a bag to cover. Your length of pipe allowed cooling and caused a lot of the creocote to condense. When in the bush during rifle hunting season always wear something orange. A woman was shot and killed in some state game lands near me while hiking around a lake. The hunter did not see her.

    To clean the stove pipe I remove all the rings and then open it up and place it directly in the fire. The creosote burns well so make sure you have gloves on. As it's burning angle the far end higher than where you are holding it.
