Video Transcription

okay so now that we start a fire in front I'm going to just see how it feels in there see how it's trapping the heat see how it's warming it up OK there's a view outside my door a half-open door door keeps going up I have a very modest fire my foot is right at the threshold so you can see this maybe two feet between me or the threshold of the shelter and the fire about two feet and it is smoking hot in here right now I mean the steam is coming off my clothes here my clothes are steaming that's a very small fire I mean you can see my clothes is steaming right there I'm really surprised because this the fire is really incredibly small for a winter fire so it's clearly very efficient as you can see it's warm enough to steam my clothes the little fire like that and a half door it feels really warm up here I mean like really won like 70 degrees or something it's just like in my house you know if I was in my house I'd be taking off my sweater I'm starting to overheat right now I'm gonna take off my hat my gloves ok so I took my hat my gloves a couple layers of gloves off open up my jacket one it's like really warm in here you know fire is basically a foot tall flame very small bed of embers the embers can't be more than 10 inches across you know so very small fire as you just saw and I can just feel the heat the cameras in the doorway right now

I can just feel the heat just bombing in this place I mean it's really warm I'm really surprised right now and very happy because small fires mean smaller work smaller calories smaller time smaller necessary tools right you know I mean it's not excessively cold tonight you know I think it's 17 degrees it's not warm by any means but I mean it's not super super cold so it kind of gives you an idea though we're a little fire like that it's already enough for me to take off my layers like right now I want to take my jacket off already I'm already like like getting one so real happy with this and this is one option for heating the shelter so yeah on an overnight I'll just throw my firewood in the corner you know not a big deal as I need it throw it on this is a great option to heat this because basically the door the only thing exposed to the elements is actually like I can feel the heat right now from the fire is actually my heat source so my only weakness is actually my greatest asset so it's not a weakness at all until my fire dies down so no big deal just some firewood in the corner somewhere and and that takes care of that okay so I just stoked up the fire a little bit just rearranged what was already there not a big deal but yeah you know the heat coming in is really bombing it's really warm it's really solid like a solid wall hitting me and I think it's really key the fact that I'm completely closed in here there's no other way that wind can get at me you know and there's no other way the Mikey can escape so the only place that my heat can escape is where my heats coming in that's pretty amazing I think that's one of the keys to this design for heating the shelter while the sperm internet survival thanks for joining me tonight as we heat up the shelter with a half door and a fire outside previews conscious for see in the next one take care
