In this video, Andy (Kent Survival) and continue our canoe trip in the wilderness of Sweden and Norway.

We set off from our wild camp spot in the Rogen Naturreservat in Sweden after a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs and pick our way through the lakes and portages of this stunning corner of Scandinavia.

After a full day of paddling and one particularly brutal portage, we arrive at a last obstacle, a shallow stream that we can not paddle - time to get out and man-handle the canoes down. Finally we arrive at our camp spot for the night with enough time to have an explore, pick blueberries and even attempt a little fishing.

A filling dinner cooked on our twig stoves and a beer or two and its time for rest - tomorrow is a big day - we cross the mighty lake Rogen.

I hope you enjoy the video,

Thanks for watching.

$Ammo Can Wood Burning Tent Stove. Make a Tent Heater for Winter Camping. Well, you asked for it, so here it is! In this video I will be making a wood burning tent stove for tent camping. Using an old army surplus .50 cal ammunition can, some car exhaust parts and some scrap metal, this can be build easily using basic tools - no welding needed! A tent stove prolongs the camping season to year round, no matter how cold the climate - the stove pipe exits the tent through a stove jack and all the smoke and harmful gases are exhausted safely outside. Being a wood burner with adjustable air intake and adjustable draw, the burn can be carefully controlled, meaning that you can keep your tent at a toasty and comfortable temperature using a fraction of the fuel that you’d need for an open fire. It goes without saying that care is needed when using any sort of heat source in a tent - modern synthetic materials can be highly flammable and a wide range of conditions can affect how efficiently the gases are exhausted. Always ensure that sleeping bags, synthetic clothing, fuel etc are kept well away from the stove at all times and ensure there is plenty of ventilation. A carbon monoxide detector can be a life saver, so use one. I really hope this video helps to answer some of the questions some of you have had about my old wood stove. This new version has some improvements too. There are a few details that I forgot to mention in the video so I’ll list them below. Thanks for watching and happy building!
