HOW TO HEAT THE TENT - heating the tent in winter and autumn when fishing

You will not die on the ice if you heat your tent with a gas heater. But first, insulate your hideout:

dust the skirt with snow to protect yourself from blowing out the wind;
lay a karemat on the floor;
attach the awning outside if the tent is single layer.

Take a tourist heater with you when fishing. It is lightweight, weighs up to one and a half kilograms. Powerful yet economical. With four-hour operation "at maximum" it consumes an average of 200 grams of gas. You will sit in a tent without a hat and jacket even in a thirty-degree frost.

And do not worry that you will not get warm, because the matches are damp or the lighter has gone missing somewhere. Most devices are equipped with a piezo ignition. To heat the tent, all you need to do is turn on the gas, press a button and light the heater.

On a note: without piezo ignition are the most lightweight models. It is worth buying if you count literally every gram of your load in your backpack.

Sometimes fishermen write on the forums that in severe frosts, the heater loses power, the cylinder freezes and the gas does not evaporate.

“I also fished in severe frosts. Works smoothly. There is no difference in work, whether in severe frost or during a thaw. In any case, you need to warm up the upper fuel supply pipe with a piece of dry fuel before use (you can use a hunting match) "... Max83. From the forum: goo.gl/OE3Ln0

To be on the safe side, buy a heater with Anti Flare System. It is equipped with a high thermal conductivity plate. Before mixing with air, the gas passes through a tube that is in a flame at one end and framing the balloon at the other. It heats up and is already warm thrown into the air. The device works properly even in fierce cold weather. Only when the gas in the cylinder runs out, due to insufficient pressure, the flame gradually extinguishes.

No matter how severe the frost is, be sure to leave at least one ventilation hole in the tent open.

Fresh air will prevent condensation from forming inside. And dampness, as we know, is worse than a frostbite penetrates to the bone.
Carbon dioxide will not accumulate, provoking discomfort.

Advantages of heating the tent with a gas burner:

warm up quickly,
dry wet clothes,
boil the tea and reheat the food.

Cons of a camping gas heater:

the cost of heating cans is not cheap,
will have to be distracted to control the combustion and change the cylinder.

Option 2: heating your tent in winter with a camping tile

It is convenient and safe to heat your tent until the morning with a camping tile. Its construction is simple:

lightweight: depending on the model, the weight varies from four hundred grams to two kilograms;
small, although there are two-burner models (Kovea Hardy Twin Stove, Kovea Grace Twin Stove). You can easily diversify your menu in nature or cook food for a large company;

the hob is easy to clean, and there are no melting parts on it;
not bulky and folds into a convenient case. It does not take up much space on a hike or fishing;
some models are equipped with piezo ignition. You don't need matches.

The hotplate is powered by a standard gas cartridge placed inside the device. Cylinders are not included in the package, they are purchased separately.

When choosing a tile, pay attention to its power. Even the smallest stove with a miniature burner has a flame temperature of seven hundred degrees Celsius.

To prevent overheating, buy a model with a pressure relief valve that regulates the pressure in the cylinder.The fuse will automatically cut off the gas flow, if something goes wrong - the pressure in the cartridge rises or you installed it incorrectly. Reopen the gas stove when you press the red button on the reducer.

Advantages of heating your tent with tiles:

uses gas sparingly,
warm up quickly and prepare food,
equipped with a security system.

Minuses:

burns out oxygen, you need to ventilate the tent.

Option 3: how to heat a winter tent with a burner

With a good stove (kerosene stove), cook food in minutes and quickly warm up your tent when it's cold.

Choose a model with a high power - from 2000 watts. Jetboil Juole burners deliver 3000 watts of "clean energy". Boil a liter of tea in three minutes, and it will be comfortable in the tent even at -20 ° C.

Primuses that run on only one type of fuel are not always convenient. Do not use a heating pad if you do not have refined gasoline at hand or forgot to buy kerosene. Buy a burner with a Combo variation (for example from MSR), it runs on gas and liquid fuel. To change from one type of use to another, replace the nozzle.
