trailer heat

[Deryk the Pirate]

Well Dan its also about how you like to camp. Ive done the 0' mummy bag wakeing up with snow on the tent... but to be honest i moved up to a ttt for a bit more comfort. This weekend Im headin to a friends and Im campin in his side yard, if deer seasons over we see deer and wild turkeys, but its gonna be in the low 20's at night and I will be happier sleepin with just a comforter then bein in my mummy bag, cause the middle of the nite dam i got to pee is alot warmer my way lol.

How do you heat your trailer? you have a wood burning stove don't you? How would you heat your trailer in a camp with no electic hoockups and with out your stove? Have you spent the night in a regular tear drop?Mutch less space then your Vardo. I agree with you 100% when you say a person should camp how they Like. And I have no problem with someone wanting the air space in their trailer heated in cold weather. I was trying to make the point that for the money and the lack of space, a good ((START)) would be a good sleeping bag. Lots of people have not camped in the winter in below freezing temperatures. And do not know how a good bag can keep you warm. There is a certain amount of danger when camping in cold weather and a quality bag is a good fail safe. No power or dry fire wood needed.P.S I use a pee bottle in winter

I see where Dan is coming from I had occasion to borrow a sub zero sleeping bag from a friend

( that buys nothing but the best )

It is truely amazing what a difference a good sleeping bag makes.

We are heading out tomorrow night to sleep in our little trailers in our freshly delivered snow. Should go to about the teens.

and yes I will plug in my 120v heater

+1 for the low temp bag and the pee bottle

I have a -40 double layer down bag that I originally bought for winter camping/mountaineering. My wife and I have survived -35 in a tent with these bags. Extreme cold weather camping if done right is not uncomfortable at all. We always found it a lot of fun.

Sleeping in a tear, especially one that is insulated even without supplemental heat, would be a luxury compared to a tent! However, a quality sleeping bag is a must.

The pee bottle is the best kept secret (for men) ever.. for not having to get up at night, especially when it's super cold. It's standard practice in mountaineering.

I just keep a funnel in my TD, a small piece of hose and your in business, most small corporate jets use the same system, so the next time you feel a "rain drop" on a clear day.....

Not so long ago, trains used to dump directly on the tracks. There was a sign in bathrooms asking not to flush while in the station. That's a fact!!

[Wolffarmer]

Yup, I remember flushing on a train and you could see the rail bed through the hole.

nah these would be the not so super rich, the highest tax percent payers jets have a real bathroom with a holding tank that has to be dumped on the ground just like an airliner. the funnel set up goes on the "cheap" aircraft...
means more tips for the ramp workers!

Either way it is all I ever got from the "trickle" down economy.

hello guys,

does anyone have relevant experience with portable wood burning stoves inside a teardrop during winter time?

I've eyeballing following solutions to this purpose:
http://www.nuwaystove.com/model965.php
http://www.campingsolutions.co.uk/stove ... ier-stove/
http://www.tentipi.com/index.php?id=153 (nice but too expensive)

I'm a die hard off the grid enthusiast and seek ways to effectively cut down dependance upon "civilized society's" offerings, therefore portable wood burning stoves would be the solution for me, that is if they're compatible with teardrops.

[Big Dan]

In my opinion there is not enough room for a fire stove and the wood to keep it going, in a tear drop. If your smart enough to vent the smoke outside with a stove pipe, then your left with a hole in witch cold air comes into your trailer as soon as the fire goes out. Not to mention the fire hazard. there are better options.

Bob Henry has a wood stove in his tear! Maybe he will chime in.

[Wolffarmer]

Bob Henry might still be frozen in at the shivery.

Randy

[kirkman]

Bob frozen? I doubt that, he most likely has his little wood stove or some other bob-gineering device running to keep the wife and him nice and toasty.
