Arctic oven tent and Trekker Diesel Heater for fly in trips

You guys must have moose hide for skin.

Have you been in one before?

Yup! 14x16 tent with an Expedition heater. We don't cook inside though. 8' awning takes care of that. We always run the heater on low or medium when then temp gets low. I like to be warm I guess. Or I'm just a wuss, that could definitely be the case.

Lol okay good. And yours is much bigger than mine.

I find them warm (especially the 10x10) and very comfortable. We don’t bother with a stove they weigh enough by themselves. But looks like the new nunataks are much lighter

Yeah would definitely be warmer in a 10x10 for sure!

I haven’t spoken to AA yet but I think the Nunatuk might not be as insulated as the oven models. I’m thinking heat source for comfort and to dry out clothes and gear as well.

ya they couldn’t have saved all that weight in the poles alone.

Make sure you seam seal it. 1st time I used it I didn’t know the seams hadnt been done.

And it weighs less than the smaller 12x12 oven.

We are changing up our fly in camp set up. Flying into a spot with very little wood so looking at trying the diesel heater route. We almost pulled the trigger a couple years back but went with wall tent and wood stove.

We are going with an Arctic Oven Nunatuk 14 x 9 with 3-4 hunters. Looking at the Trekker Diesel heater. From our research it looks like the tent holds heat in very well and the trekker (12,000 btu) should do the trick.

We won’t be using this past the end of September so extreme cold should not be an issue ( fingers crossed ).

Looking for real life experiences and feedback from those that use these heaters in tents. Not much information out there but Deluxe and Deakin both tell me they sell a ton of them.

thanks in advance as usual!

In your situation with a tent that holds heat as well as an arctic oven, you actually might be better served with a NuWay propane heater instead. Cheaper to buy than a Trekker and fast and easy to light when you need it.

Here’s a comment from a thread on Rokslide forum discussing NuWay stoves and an Arctic Oven tent.

someone brought a trekker on a fly in and it kind of sucked we froze our asses off and went through quite a bit of fuel , by the sounds of it I don’t we had it going properly .Make sure whoever brings it knows how to use it properly , and or test it at home to dial it in.
