In this video, I take advantage of the snow storm to practice setting up a Lean-To shelter with my heavy duty emergency blanket and my FireBox wood stove.

What I wanted to test out is to see how much heat the FireBox stove can kick out in this type of situation. From my previous burn, I found a lot of heat was being generated. Although not as good as a long fire, I found that when burning hot, some of the heat was being reflected back.

I found that the heat was being caught near the top of the shelter and not really coming down. I wonder if another type would do a better job capturing the heat.

Avoiding Chores is a collection of interests from a group of guys who do everything possible NOT to do chores. This involves getting into a number of interests such as: hiking, camping, outdoors, bushcraft, running, beer reviews, live hangouts and long term projects like living off the grid or stone carving.
