After reading another thread on this forum, I now have some concerns about the heater we've been using, and an upcoming hunt.
We've been using one of the little Coleman catalytic propane heaters with acceptable results in our tent (nylon) when hunting in the mountains. It doesn't really heat the tent much, but does seem to help keep the temps up just high enough to make sleeping more comfortable. For me, it's not so much a matter of being cold as it is having to breath 20 degree air. I just can't sleep more than an hour or so at a time.
So far we've used it at 8600', and 7500' with no problems. This year we drew in a unit that will likely have us camping at 9500'+. Thus, less o2, and lower ambient temps.
Waking up dead is our first concern! And heating the tent is a slightly more distant second. The tent does have ample ventilation, which we use religiously. So that's taken care of.
Any suggestions to a flat lander on what we should be using?
Thanks,
Jay
