Heating ? Tent with a Log Torch

I watched that.  Hell of an idea.  Looked like he used 1” tube.

Little sketchy having the fire right next to the tent though.

Who carries that much pipe with them? And where do you find a nice cut log like that out in the forest?

I think it’s more suitable to a situation where you know you will be there in the future. Like scouts or deer camp. Just cut the logs up in the spring
Probably not a good backpacking plan

I can think of better ways to heat a tent.

Yea but then that necessitates packing in a chainsaw at some point. And you still have to carry the stove, and in the end you still end up with an open fire next to your tent. A backpacking stove just seems cheaper and easier from all perspectives.

Don’t disagree. Just was another way to do it that I never would have thought of.

That is RETARDED.

The pipe is drawing in fresh air, and a fire burning that hot and cleanly is going to produce little in the way of CO.

Cool idea if you have a way to pack in the piping.

I understand how it's INTENDED to function, but if it's a hot and cleanly burning fire then it's almost the same temperature as the melting point of the pipe he's using, not to mention oxidization causing holes if it doesn't just melt through.

Is it going to be as clean burning come dawn? Will it still be one piece? Will it crack if you bump the end?

Here's what happens to AL (the pipe he's using) when exposed to wood fire.
