Heaters and tents

Re: what I use

I bet you could run the blankets on the deep cycle car battery. Kinda heavy, but it should run them for a 4-5 day trip.

At a typical 2.5A draw of an electric blanket, you'll get only 3 X 8-hour uses before the battery will be exhausted. Putting your money into goose down sleeping bags might be more cost-effective and you'd have all that power for other uses.

Re: what I use

I love this forum! Know body is afraid to ask the more common camping questions that often comes to mind. My wife and I delt with sleeping in the cold a couple of ways. First, ditched our singles bags (sold them on craigs list) and purchased a http://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Bag/KingSolomon we outfitted our sleeping bag with good inflatable insulated air mattress like http://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Det...sulatedAirCore This alone allowed us to share our body heat and other things much easer ; ) We were comfortable down to 5-10 degrees easily. Second we outfitted our Jeep with an Intelligent Dual Battery System. This allowed for several things, we now had a power source for our engle fridge and accessories. Also, we were able to use a 12 volt blanket and we didn't have to worry about a dead battery the next morning or the potential co poisoning even though its rare. I tried the Buddy heating system for awhile but you need to vent well for condensation. One last thing to do is the old tried and true method of slipping in a couple of hot watter bottles into your bag.

Just my experience.

Re: Heaters and tents

That's great. I am very much pleased to see your post here. Heater with tents are such an amazing thing. All seasons bring their own charm, but our favorite is winter. During the late night gossip, bonfires, roasted candies and sweet hot chocolate created countless memories. But the activities we enjoy the most are hiking and camping.

The tranquility of communicating with nature is indescribable, but sometimes the temperatures drop too low for us to walk comfortably, and in these times we recommend really good battery tent heaters for all of us to enjoy the things we love during the season. , which we love. Although it feels comfortable and cozy.

Here you can review the best battery powered tent heater.

It is very portable but strong enough to provide you with the warmth and comfort you need in the cold months.

...wow! a zombie thread; still alive (at least undead) and still walking...
I'm pretty much a fan of tent heaters here is my latest:



Thermostatically controlled, unvented, 10-11,000 BTU.

...Not sure when I will get to try it as I;m now pretty much a fair weather camper.. however it can snow at altitude even in the summer, so there is hope.

Enjoy!
