Ertai2 asked:


You're camping and it gets chilly. Whats the best way to heat your tent? Could you build a fire outside of the doorway and place a fan in between to have it blow the warm air inside? Will the tent have enough insulation? Or will the heated air dissipate by the time it even reaches your face? What are some good ways to heat a tent WITHOUT using a portable heater that uses 1000 watts of electricity, or gas / oil?
Answer 1 ... cool answer, I never thought of that and it was the only reasonable answer I had at the time. Will be considered. Possibly using those Nu-Wick candles.

Answer 2 ... very intuitive, never thought of that. Wouldnt use that method though but nice alternative.

Answer 3 ... Im familiar with survival techniques as well and this is what I would do if I built a primitive shelter like a lean-to or a trench. But a tent would be more permanent over that spot and in the winter it might not be as comfortable.

The answer I was actually looking for I eventually found is a wood stove placed in your tent believe it or not. I dont exactly know how the pipe will exit the tent but that is something Im going to research right now ... You can also buy a small propane powered stove that has flexible pipes leading out the doorway. In case anybody out there is reasearching this answer for answers of their own. My choice is a lightweight wood stove with oven and shelf accessory.
