I know this is very much a subjective thing - we are going away in the tent mid September and I'm wondering whether or not I should buy something to heat the tent in the evening.  I don't want to go EHU because I like the idea of being away from the madding crowd. 

I've been reading about the Blue Cat gas heater and quite fancy that but as we're also planning to buy a canopy don't want to buy it if we're not really likely to need it.  Does anyone have any advice?

September can be quite nice but it could get chilly in the evening, the blue cat heaters are great for heat, we only have a small tent, well it's a four berth canvas one, but only suitable for two and we find that putting one ring on the cooker on with the door closed heats it up nicely

Keep forgetting about hot water bottles. Great idea for those chilly evenings especially for the kids. Thanks Roseviolet.

Take a little fan heater with you. Soon warms the place up if it gets chilly!
