Get a Mr Heater Buddy

Mr. Heater is a very good investment. I don't camp without one.

+1 on the Mr Heater. Safe, reliable, effective.

Ya....mr heaters are good....til they catch on fire! Had mine for about 4 years til one night before bed we were sitting there and poof! Lucky for us I had a beer in hand and knew just what to do! Glad I wasn't sleeping when it happened! Burned a couple small holes in the bottom of the tent from melting plastic. My recommendation...get a warm sleeping bag!

The tank top Mr. Heater doubles work well, but you need to blow out tge lines on occassion. Also, not for indoor use. Work well to heat up a sitting area though...and if you are good, you can toast a pop tart on them!!!

Buddy Heaters are great for camping. But for hunting...? I think the propane odor saturates your hair, skin, and any clothing you might be wearing, which game animals will likely detect as a non-natural odor and bust you straight out of the gate. Even if you try to douse yourself with scent killer, I don't think you can dissipate a night's worth of propane exposure from your body.

You can't dissipate a nights worth of being a human being either. No amount of chemicals are going to mask odor of any kind enough to fool a deer/elk/bear that is downwind of you.

shot my deer in January and I was using my heater all the time. I keep my clothes in a scent log bag.

Very sweet. I too store my clothes in a scent lock bag. Maybe I just had bad luck this year sitting in my ground blind for elk? I used the heater on day one, then shut it off, due to its odor, and froze the next four days without using it and still did not have any game animals appearing in an area that had been a regular mosh pit. I blamed the heater odor, but maybe it was another factor? Do I need to worry about propane heater usage in blinds?

Shoppers in having a sale on them Friday. They work great. I've had one for years and never had a problem.

oh I haven't tried it in a ground blind. I see what your saying now. I just use mine at night and in the morning in my tent. I mainly do spot n stalk.
