Isn’t it difficult to make a fire while it’s windy outside? On your trips into the forests can check the fire hazard of the list because of the next solution we’re going to suggest. The smokeless “Dakota Fire Pit” will prevent the surrounding trees from setting ablaze whilst also supplying you with much needed fire in those windy days. You can easily learn to make one of these. The process consists of digging a couple of holes and supplying sticks. To make sure you got it all right, watch the video featured here. It will show you exactly what to do and how to do it. At the end, you will have a Dakota Fire Pit and your time spent in the woods and on the mountains should be fun, without worrying about the fire!
We used this method in the army, but the part where the cup in this case is heated we only gave a very small opening. Essentially the fire was burning under the ground and the flames came out of a small thin opening in the ground on top. This way the heat was really concentrated and you could kill the fire really easy in case of emergency by just stepping on it. We dug 1 hole but not straight down but diagonal with the wind the direction. I wish I could draw it for you 😉
Wouldn’t work in my area.
Cocoa Beach, Florida.
The sand would just collapse.
Wouldn’t work in my area. Siberia. The snow would just collapse.
Wish we could still use it, our command says its to dangerous and better to just huddle up with another soldier to keep warmth.
Must make sure no roots or rotting logs are near the fire hole, underground root fires are very hard to put out or see when they are being sneaky….be careful with this pit!! I have seen many places where campfires have burned roots underground, takes a very long time to out!
They are being gay
