BEST HEATERS FOR TENT HEATER
Camping Heater
Tent camping in the winter months can get
rather cold on those cold nights. For my family
I always buy sleeping bags that are rated for
colder temperatures than I ever expect to be
camping in. Tent walls are thin, and even the
heaviest sleeping bags won’t protect you from
the cold as you are getting dressed to climb
into your sleeping back to got to sleep, or
when you wake up in the morning. A good
heater for camping can warm the tent to keep
you warm and cozy. For safety reasons, I only run my heater when I am awake, as there are news stories
every year about people dying from carbon monoxide from their heater. So to protect me and my family,
I light my heater about a half hour before we go to bed, and I turn it off before I lay down to close my
eyes and go to sleep, just in case. In the morning when I wake up, I light the heater again, while I wait for
the family to wake up. They love the extra warmth for when they go to bed and when they wake up in
the morning.
You should always read the warnings from the manufacturer to protect yourself from carbon monoxide
poisoning. Many heaters made today have built in safety mechanisms that will actually turn off the
heater if the oxygen level in the tent gets low, protecting you and your family from carbon monoxide
poisoning. This is referred to the oxygen depletion sensor, or ODS. I always bring a good battery
powered carbon monoxide detector for an extra safety precaution, and for the heater that I use I have
never had a problem. Many of them are made for tent camping, and have the safety mechanisms built in
to the unit including ODS, as well as tip over protections to keep you and your family safe. Though they
all should be used in a well ventilated space.
I have used many different portable heaters for camping, and the best portable propane heater for
camping by far is made by MR HEATER. The Buddy series from Mr Heater works phenomenal. My family
is cozy warm when we are in our tent, and like I mentioned before I only use the heater when I am
awake, just to be safe for my family. You should read the safety instructions carefully and follow the
recommendations to keep your family safe as well. I am overly safe with my precautions, but that is a
personal choice that I hope others make as well. There are things you can do as extra precautions that
may make you comfortable to run the heater all night long, but please be safe and protect your family.
