So, been thinking of ways to be more comfortable late season/ winter camping. Not been brave enough to do much yet, but working on my gear, thinking of ways to stay warm without having to retreat to my sleeping bag, at least for a while. Do most of my camping solo, hard enough getting my friends to come out in summer, let alone Autumn/Winter. Also very conscious of the fact that winter nights are long and dark, so got to thinking about gas lanterns. Have a trailstar copy, already got some great micro fairy lights that add nice distributed lights, but wondered if a small gas lantern would be worth it for adding both light and warmth to the tent. Have a small 1 person ali express inner, wouldn't use in there or leave it on whilst going to sleep, but would be nice to sit round for a few hours before in the massive porch surely. Safety is my concern/ question i guess. Trailstar is well ventilated/ open. In terms of fumes/ carbon monoxide, id expect it to be safe as long as there was at least a bit of breeze, might be nervous using on a dead still night. Any thoughts/ experiences please folks? Would something like 3/4 tea lights be worth using? UCO do a 'candelier' with 4(?) candles that's meant to put out a fair bit if heat? Already using hot water in bottle, foot warmer satchet things btw. Maybe i just need to toughen up a bit.. or worry less?
