Hey All,
The fam and I are camping out on the Bay this weekend and it's looking like the worst case scenario is for low 40's and possible gusts up to 20mph where we're going. We have what i would call a 3 season tent, and last fall we camped inland in similar weather and the wife was cold - kids and I fine. How cold was she? well by nights end we had bundled her up in 2 (supposedly) 0* rated sleeping bags from Costco - I know I know, but that purchase at least got her outta the house and on to the trail!
For the sake of civility, I'm thinkin of investing in a tent heater of some sort for our 3 season tent. Question is, what are my options? I've only heard about Coleman Catalytic heaters, but are there other options to consider? Oh and no, I won't be lighting a Dakota Fire Hole inside the tent! Tent is well ventilated btw.
Advice? TIA, --JB
