Ready for Winter Camping: Build your own Diesel Heater - Enable [CC] for Instructions and Tips!

Welcome to my channel! (‪@myhappyadventures‬)

I built my first diesel heater back in 2021 when I realized I needed a heater to prevent condensation inside my roof top tent while sleeping at night in the winter. It was a life changer as it kept my tent dry and warm! I will never go winter camping without it.

Some of my close friends asked me if I could build a diesel heater for them as well. I built total of 5 more diesel heaters for my close friends. It was quite labour intensive and I realized I was spending a lot of time on my days off doing this when I could be out enjoying other things in life.

A few more close friends approached me and asked if I could build diesel heaters for them. I explained that I was no longer building them but I promised to post a video on how to build one so they can.

After procrastinating for few months, I finally edited the video and posted for those who wished to build a diesel heater themselves! The video is not perfect but I hope it helps.
