What if I told you that you could build a fire that only you could see? For stealth camping, the 'Dakota Fire Hole' is just what you need. Low smoke. Low visibility at night.

Have you ever cooked baked beans in a hole in the ground. That was a method we tried at our cottage as we were off grid. Mom found the recipe in the news paper in the 60-70's called Hudson Bay baked beans. Definitely off grid. It suggests using a coffee can for your pot. I bought a cast iron dutch oven. I put aluminum foil over the top before the cover to protect from getting ash in when removing pot from fire pit. Oh, that Smokey taste.

For better effect, you might have done this in an open field. The Dakota lived in a region with lots of plains and little cover. A fire may be seen from miles away at night. Some other plains tribes went so far as to live in homes carved out of the sides of ravines and ditches because any visible standing structure on the plains could be seen from a great distance and anyone passing by might choose to drop by. Including raiders.

Very well done. At night, the smoke usually won't be a major concern, but the light most certainly will be. If need be, you can pile the dirt you dig out around it to form a short chimney or further barrier. Just remember that even though the fire itself is hidden, you will still be brightly illuminated by it if you are standing near it, so it's best to still have solid cover and distance between yourself and whatever you're hiding from.

Most people don't realize how much better this for survival. The fire will warm the ground and the ground will maintain the heat for a very long period of time. I like to use rocks, if you can find them, to make a liner or bed for the fire to rest on. The rocks will hold the heat even longer and if you have a cold night, it will allow you to sleep longer with out having to get up and put wood on the fire.

Nice. There are a bunch of variants as well. My favorite is to find a metal pipe 5 or 6 feet long. Dig a trench from ground level sloping down to 2-3 feet deep over a 6 foot length. Lay the pipe in the bottom and backfill the trench to cover everything but the "fire pit" and the opening of the pipe. This gives a much higher velocity oxygenation meaning hotter fire and even less smoke. Have fun and happy pyro-ing.

You may find that you can achieve a hotter and cleaner burn of your solid fuel by situating your air feed shaft on an angle approximating 45 degrees and slightly reducing the diameter of said shaft. The principle is similar to that which is at play in a rocket stove heater design. As the fire grows in intensity it will pull more air in through the air shaft more efficiently and with less obstruction. Not dissimilar to the way an internal combustion engine likes to get air into the cylinder head through the shortest , smoothest and least restrictive route possible.

I can’t understand what you mean. The imperial system is British. Why wouldn’t he use feet? You may as well say “I love how you speak French, even though you’re French”...?

Why don't you just be normal and use metricals like the rest of the world

Reague of Regends are you one of those kids that are all like: "oh look at me I'm different I listen to Nirvana, I hate everyone else and our generation sucks!" Well guess what, you ain't special. Just like imperials. They are impractical, harder to learn compared to the metricals, and there are at least another hundreds reasons the whole world uses them (except for yankees and a couple brits, which are well known for their smart heads like yours.) Oh and when you say "normal is for mongoloids" it is pretty funny. Mongoloids ain't that normal you know? "Average worthless nobodies" you mean the WHOLE fucking world? Get back stuffing your mouth with hamburgers, yankee.

I just dig a two foot trench (on a slope) and lay a rock over the center of the trench, leaving a two space below the rock. Then I place dirt on the rock up to the original ground level and put my fire in the lower hole. Bingo, instant Dakota fire hole/rocket stove combo. Much, much easier than digging a tunnel from one hole to another and the added uphill draft makes a cleaner burn.

@vilemzadrobilek583 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah but camping on a slope has problems of a) having to find a slope in first place, b) camping on slope being kinda uncomfortable and c) kinda defeats purpose of hiding the fire when your fire can be seen due to being placed on slope (obviously not always, but it increases the chance alot compared to flat ground).

Vilém Zadrobílek, flatlander aye? You clearly haven't been to Ohio, West Virginia or any other mountainous area. Slopes and flat exist side by side on every mountain Ive ever seen.
