We are fairly new to camping and after some sucessful trips last year in a borrowed tent we our now planning this years excursions in our own new tent
We would like some expert opinions on the best way to heat a tent on those really cold evenings and what sort of heaters are available without an electic hook-up
All ideas and advice would be very much appreciated
Try this thread.
I would be careful with gas heaters personally. If you really have to I think the best bet is to get a powerful one & just use it for very short periods, they can be dangerous, so the less they are on the better.
Pocket hand warmers (several types available, including charcoal & gel) can be very effective, & very safe in comparison. Otherwise, the general opinion is wrap up warm!

I have to agree nutgone. I am a caravanner but experienced a tent fire caused by a gas heater the May Day BH weekend (see here: Fire in tent at Conkers). I'm sure they are safe if treated carefully, so the link is not meant to scare people, just to say, be careful.
