My favourite of your vids

We love you Lisa,

That was great! Thank you for sharing 😊

One of the best 3 minutes! Informative, educational and heart warming!!!

Great content! Thank you!

Wow!!! That's the best explanation I've had on the process of using a wood stove. Thank you 😊 I also love the reading. It brings me back to earth.

Great video Lisa. Definitely important for people to know how to properly operate these portable stoves as well as set the expectations for what these kinds of setups are good (and not so good) at. I bought a similar ultralight tent/stove combo a few years ago for the exact same reasons. I did the Debsconeag loop in mid November 2020 and it was a beautiful time to be out paddling in hunter orange but every night was a bit of a test between the below freezing temps and up to 14 hours of darkness. You can only sleep so much. Also it takes much work to find good wood near campsites at the end of the season, it's a real drag to do all that work just to watch the heat go straight up to the sky in with an open fire. After that trip I decided to buy one of these setups. These stove and tipi-tents really make for a comfortable place to hang out if you have to kill a couple of hours til bed time -- they keep away from the wind and you can dry your gear out. As you mentioned in your video, they are much more thermally efficient with wood and provide a nice cooking surface if you are solo. I also use mine in the winter. I've camped in the NMW in sub-zero temps in mine -- with a sub-zero rated bag of course. If it's just a one or two night trip I'll carry a few BioBrick wood blocks with me for the last burn of the night. I think the company is based out of Epping, NH but I get them at the local Ace Hardware here in Scarborough.

Great quote!

I found these wood fuel blocks at Rural King (Wood Fuel Blocks, 20 Pack - GREN-20) and I always bring a few of them and put them in my stove before I lay down for the night. I also put in some good hardwood and I can get 5-6 hours of burn out of them - just keep that damper dialed back.

Thanks for sharing

Definitely agree don’t need it going all night. Even in the dead of winter I use it to get me and my sleep system warm and dry. Then if you have the proper sleep system you should be good till morning. But have kindling ready because it’s going to be cold 🥶 when you crawl out of the sleeping bag

Oh Lisa this one was especially wonderful, and you dear, are definitely entitled to the creature comfort of warmth at this juncture❤

Another great and informative video. Thank you Lisa.

I have been “hot tent” camping for 6-7 years, if possible I would recommend carrying some small pieces of fat wood, also a good paracord line away from the stove pipe really helps dry the gear. Watch those little titanium stoves many a sleeping kit has suffered damage from them 😂!

You're such a great instructor Lisa 😃

You're the best Lisa! Loved this!

Loved the reading at the end

Awesome video thank you. Where did you get those glasses?

Another thing you can do is burn enough to build a bed of coals and then put a small, green, birch log on top. It will burn much longer. I have seen where Natives simply cut a black spruce and keep pushing it into the stove as it burns. The stove door remains open. The tree length fire wood leans on the floor and maybe even out the tent door. How do you like the titanium roll up chimney? Thanks for the video.

Best information on those stoves that I've seen yet!! Great journal entry. I know I'm grateful for every minute you share your knowledge. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻🛶
