    Attached a wood stove fan to my catalytic heater. Runs about 1lb per 12hrs. Going to make a mount for it in the back of the tundra before snowboarding season.

    lots of dents
    FYI, a propane heater will put out a ton of moisture in the air, so bring a raincoat for when all the condensation begins to drip off the inside of your canopy...unless it’s cold enough outside, then you’ll get icicles. I’m just speaking from miserable past experiences. A cheap chinese diesel heater from ebay or Amazon will pump out lots of warm dry air. It also won’t eat up all your precious oxygen.


    Oh, and i’m digging the Forest Gump Nike Cortez

    Luckily I haven't had any issues but I sleep with one of the windows open and another cracked. I've done a few winters with this heater but just attached the fan to it recently. I'll look into alternatives though, i appreciate it. Those are all my girlfriends shoes lol.
