if the IR waxer simply heats up the base so you can rub the wax in, couldn't you use a wax iron to heat up the base and rub the wax in? I've always used an iron/wax/drip because that's how I was taught but now I'm wondering why a heat/rub method wouldn't work for both?

@avlehtine4 ай бұрын
I think with an iron you may end up overheating a part of the base, since bases are seldom as flat as irons ( so the iron only hits the base in high spots ). Maybe if you had a heat resistant towel of some kind in between to even it out. I’ve been using a hot air gun to ”pre-warm” the base (not a very warm garage) but then apply the wax the normal way with an iron.

Do you have a rough estimates on what burn time would be with the 5 lb tank with a FireCan Burner. I am trying to determine which tank to buy (5 lb or 10 lb) so approx burn time would be valuable. Most trips I have are 2-3 days. If I can get 6-8 hours of burn time with a 5 lb I would be happy, but otherwise I would opt for the 10 lb tank. Do you have any advice?
@CameronMartindell6 ай бұрын
Ooof, that's a tough one. All of those fire cans have adjustable burn rates. It really depends on how big of a flame you want. I'd honestly go for the 10-pounder because it takes up less room than 2 5-pounders and provides the reassurance of knowing you have plenty of fuel. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for doing this video. Saved me a lot of time. It's a cool design, but a bit too heavy and too pricey for me. In principle I like the idea of inflatable floor, but in cooler temperatures the floor directly interacting with the cold ground means it'll be quite cold vs when sleeping on inflated mattress within a tent there is more isolation layers between the mattress air and the ground. Another downside of inflatable floor -- it can't be used with portable wood stove. Considering in can potentially be used in colder temperatures, its a bit downside there is not a space for wood stove.

Btw I don't understand your comment about heat conductivity and the floor - this is air inside, which is exactly a good thermal insulator. You could still sleep on an air mattress inside, but you already have one layer of air in the air floor. What am I missing here?

Also note, the inflatable floor is optional. In fact, you could go completely floorless if you needed to have a completely heat proof base... but there's only the vent on the side-I'm pretty sure a combustion stove of any sort is not recommended or advised. The EcoFlow Wave heater is the best option, but I wish there was better protection to keep the unit outside and just pump hot (or cold) air into the tent. Thanks for checking it out!

I may purchase a couple of 5lb and 10 lb tanks for when I need a bit more. A word of caution, when refilling the one pound non-refillable cylinders, IT MUST BE PRECISE AS TO NOT OVERFILL THOSE. I am very close to knowing the weights by picking them up.

I don't quite understand about the 1 lb refillable. If it is refillable why does it need to be exchanged?
@CameronMartindell6 ай бұрын
As you can imagine with flammable materials, the US has a lot of regulation around them. For that reason refilling the light green 1-pound tanks must be done in a certified facility with all kinds of safety measures in place. That is not something the company can ask retailers to install at their locations so they have to have an exchange model where the empty tanks are collected at the retail location, exchanged for a full tank and the empty ones are sent back to the refill facility. But as you can see in the comments here and with more searching online, people do refills on their own. Stay safe and thanks for watching!

Interesting video. I don't get to do a lot of camping, but often think of different options than the small 1 lb cylinders I use. I have seen many videos of people refilling them (even though they are non refillable) and have thought about going that route and keeping a 20lb cylinder at home. I live in hurricane county so having an extra 20lb fuel tank ready to go at home wouldn't be a bad idea.

@CameronMartindell2 жыл бұрын
Hey Adam, sorry for the delay... I'm just now finding all of these comments! Two thoughts on Rigging the boat for kids: 1. get a big enough boat so your gear is not towering and it can be laid on. We're in a 16' boat here and while we could have made it work in a 14' boat the gear would be more stacked instead of laying as flat as you see it here. 2. figure out a good shade solution. As a rental, we didn't have much to work with other than the two beach umbrellas we brought and the NRS/Voile straps to rig them. The best is a canopy like you can see on our friend's boat. Have fun, it's the best.
