One of my tents.

This is a DIY creation that allows me to camp in sub zero temperatures and stay warm. That is my stepdad cooking up a stew on the wood fired heater.

Pretty decent set up there mate.. how long does it take to set up and pack up??

Also what do you mean sub zero.... you live in Brisbane???

That aint no 30 second jobbie, great with the fire box flued out side no wonder you are warm.
Where the hell do you use it?

I do a fair bit of hunting and prospecting especially down near glen Innes. We have been there in -6 so it's pretty freaking cold.

That tent 6m x 5m takes 2-4 people 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour but it has slept 7 people for five nights. I also have another one which is a copy of the 11'x11' military tent set up for the heater it takes 2 people under 15 mins to put up. So I only take the big one for longer trips when there is a few people.

The heater is made of 6mm plate so it is heavy 65 odd kg and gets around 5 hours of good heat on decent timber like gum. I am going to be building a light weight mkII soon enough.

Good stuff, what do you hunt??
