Although heating up the bath took longer than being inside a house, she was satisfied with her renovation.

Calen (@unruly_traveller) shared the video with her TikTok followers.
The unconventional traveler responded to a viewer’s comment about the temperature of her bath: “Is your bath water cold?” they asked.
She explained how she took an old bathtub and turned it into an off-grid heated tub.
First, she gathered firewood from the forest and brought it back to her tub.
Next, she filled up the tub with mountain water and then lit a fire underneath her tub, adding a piece of wood on top to keep the heat in.
“When it’s heated, it’s time to take the topper off and add some candles for a magical time,” she said.
Once she was done with her bath, she made sure the fire was completely out for safety.
Some didn’t understand the appeal of the method: “So human soup?” asked one commenter.
Calen shot back a witty reply: “Yes basically! That’s what a bath is lol,” she said.
Others felt differently: “This looks so peaceful,” said one viewer.
A few were impressed by the serene scene: “Okay, this is cool!” said another.
Calen couldn’t help but agree: “It is incredibly relaxing and healing,” she said.
