Went fishing with some buddies last spring and used my Coleman heater in a pretty small tent, worked great but think I will use a bigger tent next time and pick up a carbon monoxide detector for peace of mind. At 50 (then) not into freezing at nite anymore. Picking up some great information here and I will be getting a new sleeping bag and pad.

Re: Coleman Catalytic Heater
I have tried many heaters and have settled on just using one to heat the tent before sleeping bag entry and exit for early spring and late fall trips... the current model is a big buddy since it is a bit more portable (has a handle) than other types .
Low oxygen levels are a bigger concern for me than carbon monoxide; adequate ventilation is a must with oxygen consuming devices.

Ground tents work best for me, so far.
Experience along with properly set up 4WD will get you to & through places (on existing, approved 4WD trails) that 4WD, alone, can't get to. -
Re: Coleman Catalytic Heater
Any decent tent has plenty enough ventilation for a propane heater. My concern is more the chance of a hot surface too close to the tent wall. I use a small Buddy for tent use, and use two Big Buddies at home. Central heat and air failed a couple years back - so it's great practice with the Buddies. I use my little Buddy on a plywood plank, elevated a bit off the floor of the tent. Usually just at turn-in to warm the tent, then in morning. I have very good blankets and bags.Longtime Motorcycle Camper. Getting away from it all on two wheels! :cool:Comment
