The Testing of The Dakota Pit Tent.

I finally test the Dakota pit tent. It worked out pretty good for a first time but, I can say that the actual Dakota pit is not needed unless its under 20 degrees. With the double wall reflective cover, any amount of heat is trapped creating an actual oven effect. Living in the south where it never gets extremely cold I honestly believe a hobo stove placed under the Carbon fiber chimney would be plenty enough heat. I am planning now on a 100% smoke free oven to hang from the chimney to hold a small fire. I will only use the Dakota pit for temps under 20 degrees. The total weight of the shelter is 14 pounds. Thats the frame, both covers, ALL the chimney components, the storage pouches and even the grill to cover the Dakota hole.
