Dakota fire pit technique, complete instructions
Last time I made a really nice Dakota fire hole while I was in the forest. The Dakota fire provides a very hot, clean, smokeless and stealth fire meant for cooking lowprofile. For this reason it is also used in the army. When you build it right, it needs a very little amount of wood because of its efficient combustion. It also provides a greater margin of firesafety by keeping coals and flames fairly contained as when making an open fire. The fire technique is also very good to use when following the leave no trace principal. When the firepit is no longer needed it can easily be cleaned up by closing the dug hole and there will be no traces of the fire visible. I filmed the whole process of making it and provide tips and tricks along the way.
