way to go ahead and be exact about it with easy to find from anywhere in the world web facts.

 

you nailed it tho... i was curious

 

Nyco is an overachiever

 

We were glad to have the tent heater last year.

It was funny, we would wait for the sun to poke over the mountains to get out of the tent.

It was “damn, it’s cold... Ahhhhh sun”

 

i stayed warm once i got under the blankets and actually warmed up. this year i have my bedroom insulated and im bringing my 18V heat gun to take the chill off in case there is one.

 

Heat gun?

Classic.

 

finding good excuses to distract me from doing work

 

yeah it's a electric gun that puts out heat kinda like a hair drier on a lot hotter and this one runs on batteries

 

Ha! I know what a heat gun is. I just never would’ve though to use one as a tent (hobbit hole) heater. I know it’ll work. Great idea.

 

i doubt it work worth a shit in a tent but since the hobbit hole is insulated it should work just fine. i was building a propane heater but am not happy with it and want to do something different but not sure what yet. the actual tent heaters require more ventilation than the hobbit hole has.

 

I use a Mr. Heater - Buddy when camping. It heats a CVT right up and he CVT does a descent job at holding it while getting dressed...until you break the seal of the tent.

 

Big thing we found out camping is to make sure there's ventilation... had friends hard to breath during the night when they were all closed up... I used to run my annex with the back wall not connected up top, only the three side zipped, and I never had an issue. Seems like that little opening was enough, and was still warm even in single digits.

It could also be a difference in tent manufacturers and their canvas thickness and design of the upper vents... but better save than dead

 

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Then again last year i just slept under a blanket didn't even have a good sleeping bag and i stayed warm at night.

 

hobbit hole ftw!

 

Def agree. I will say, I don’t ever sleep with it on. I use it when changing/getting into the sleeping bag then again when getting up. I’ll give it about 5 min before I actually start moving, just to heat up.

ALSO, the orig purpose was to keep the wife and kid more comfortable haha

 

Last year I used a 0 degree mummy bag = toasty
