Subject:Heater for Winter Camping

Boy, I gotta side with Jeff, and his wee heater. We've done it both ways,
and it sure is a lot nicer to get back from a hike to a cozy cocoon at 70
degrees, than to a van that feels colder than the outside air. Ugh. Plus,
if you wake up early (we do) sunrise is much more comfy in a toasty warm
van, rather than through chattering teeth. BTDT, no thanks.

If we don't have an electrical hook-up, we have a small Catholic
(Catalytic) Propane heater which is more than plenty for a night in the
woods.

Warmly yours,

Electrical hookups!  1500W Heater!

A better investment would be a good down sleeping bag.  But even with a
cheap synthetic bag, I've been fine down into the single <<<SNIP>>>
