Military 5 & 10 man Arctic tent

[Twodogs]

I wanted a way of putting the pegs in hooking on the canvas and banging in the pole after looking on the net I blagged this idea from tentipi ,

Peg down a template with two pegs in this case a bit of plastic out of an ammo bag ( Cheers Pete ) ,



Mark the door way and were pegs are add a piece of cord of the right length ,



Work around wacking in the pegs ,



Simples ,

You cant really have a arctic tent without a woodburner can ya ??


Now I would love to get a US issue yukon stove but I dont think there for sale in the UK so after a bit of looking about I went for the "Wildo stove " just like the style of it .



The next problem is the tent is set up for a yukon stove that has a larger bore stove pipe to go though the stove jack here ,



Hmmmm Arrrrr ... Ikea to the rescue if the form of there large cutlery strainer and some old hose clips from my off roading day ,





That will fill the gap nicely ,,,,,,,,,

Looking forward to seting it up and sorting out some guy lines for the stove pipe hmmmm

Hi Cliff,

I've been using a Wildo for a couple of years now, great stoves although the flue can be short.

Will do the job and they also sell 'bends' if you want to put the flue out at an angle. Raise the flue higher and the spark arestor is less critical. The aluminised sections work fine and are cheap enough to buy.

With mine, I laid a sheet of perforated BBQ stainless steel over the wood grill and this lets you burn coal without worrying about burning through the base which is a great option for when your not just camping in the woods; 20kg bag will last you a weekend easily.

They are a really good stove with a good sized top you can cook on, upside down pot on top and you have your oven

Have fun mate
