Well done, your experienced, I don't o know if I would trust most people including myself with using the coffee can, toilet paper and alcohol as a heater.
I do have a Kifaru Sawtooth and a titanium wood stove which as you already know, all sets up nicely and is relatively safe to use but, even then one must be very careful. I will just add that I will not use the tipi without the stove once it starts to get cool at night, yes I've been spoiled and have become a wus, but I am also getting old, at least that's my excuse !

P.S. Though my Kifaru gear was brought along on my Idaho elk hunt, sadly I never got to use it as my hosts had brought a camping trailer as a base camp and circumstances dictated that we didn't need the tipi and stove.

We've used the toilet paper/ coffee can heater years ago in our deer stands. Sit that thing down between your feet and feel the heat. The alcohol smell is burned away by the flame so they are scentless when in use.

They kind of defeat the lightweight scenario he's doing with that tarp though.

Anyway, always like their videos.

Those B C's are well done. I wonder why he chose polyester as most all of the really good commercial stuff is Silnylon durable and very waterproof.

I've made some silnylon stuff and it's great just tough to sew as its so slick.
