An inside and outside tour of my 3-man Snowtrekker hot tent and the stove I use in it, rigged for 2 people. I have been using the tent for about 3 years and its been good. For beginners to hot tenting this might give you some ideas for putting your rig together. Its only one way to go, and certainly there are many other hot tenting styles using different tent shapes and materials. This is store-bought gear, but many talented people with sewing and sheet metal skills make their own gear.

Camp Stove Reviews Best Camp Stove Reviews
Camp Stove Reviews Best Camp Stove Reviews - www.amazon.com I've always been a fan of MSR Whisperlite stoves and have used them for 20 years. About 5 years ago I considered a canister type stove as white gas stoves have the downside of the camp stove fuel smell and the extra time to pump and warm/prime the stove. I wanted a more convenient lightweight stove I could use on day hikes, fishing/hunting trips and to make a quick cuppa on chilly rock climbing days. After some research, I found the MSR Pocket Rocket stove was the lightest and most powerful stove of it's type. It was also less than so cheaper than it's competition. It was easily the best at that time, and might still be. I have read several camp stove reviews before I decided to buy this backpacking stove and there were no doubt for me, I had to have it!. The camp stove features are: Small, lightweight, powerful camping stove--weighs just 3 ounces Boils a liter of water in under 3.5 minutes It includes propane a stand a toaster Its glove-friendly controls allow precise flame adjustment and stability Micro-burner, tri-sectional clip protects flame in light wind gusts Uses clean burning MSR IsoPro premium fuel I have used mine almost every weekend for years, in every season, on day trips and on several multi day trips and now always take it as an emergency stove with a titanium pot, when I venture into the wild, even in winter. Together with a lightweight pole-less 2 man bothy shelter I have all the gear I need ...

My Brother and I departing from YPIR (Port Pirie) to YCMM (Cummins Town) for a fly-in and airshow. The takeoff took slightly longer than normal due to the extra weight of a 4-man tent (kinda unnecessary for 2 people but its all we had), food and other stuff. Pilot: Sam Thomson Passenger: Ben Thomson Aircraft: Jabiru J-160D with Glass Cockpit T/O distance: approx 610m, normal distance in nil wind is approx 210m.

Diesel Tent Stove (Hunter Mfg. "SHS") US Military Issue
This heater is awesome! They throw ALOT of heat for their size, and they don't smoke, don't stink, and are cheap to run. They are designed to heat a 5-10 man tent full of soldiers in -50F to +60F temperatures....and believe me, they work great! Since switching over to the SHS from using my propane wall furnace, I have cut my heating costs by more than half. And it's easier to afford a few gallons of diesel than it is to come up with 0 for a tank of propane (just to watch most of the heat go out the chimney) For mine I built a 10" diameter ducting heat scavenger around the 3" diameter chimney pipe. I used 2 sections of the stainless steel chimney supplied with the heater for the two bottom sections by the burner chamber where it will have to take the most heat. Inside the 10" duct there is 3 foot sections of 3" ducting to serve as more surface area to scavenge more heat from the chimney.....There is a 12v "squirrel cage" fan with a section of 3" flexible aluminum duct going in to the heat scavenger where it blows air into the heat scavenger, around those 3" sections and blows the heat out the register at a pretty decent velocity....it works great, and it keeps the hot air moving throughout the place. The blower doesn't run out of hot air to blow out of that heat scavenger either!!! I recommend you READ the instruction manual on these, coz if you are an idiot you can cause a flash fire with these. NEVER attempt to light one or refuel the tank while it is still hot. NEVER ...
