I just have a very thick mattress with a healthy R value (seriously, this thing is as comfortable as my bed - https://www.nemoequipment.com/en-ca/...tvmAkz8wrY3NM1) and a warm sleeping bag.
This seems about 1000x smarter than having a heater in your tent. |
I wasn't ever planning on running the heater with items in the tent. It seemed sketchy to me, but I thought I might as well ask about it because it showed up more frequently in the higher end tents. The diesel heater option where you can pipe the heat in and leave the rest outside looked good. I agree the propane one makes me quite concerned it could accidentally melt something or worse. The more I think about it, the more that most heating options don't seem like a good risk for those that aren't seasoned campers. The only one with a bit of promise for amateurs might be the diesel option which you can keep outside of the tent.
I've just dealt with scenarios with a lot of condensation and occasionally inclement weather that some form of heating seemed like it'd be a nice to have to keep the enjoyment of camping from being horribly derailed.
I kinda understand where you're coming from, but for those mattresses, needing over $1K in mattresses doesn't seem feasible to me either. At least it doesn't really give me incentive to consider moving away from a camping cot with memory foam topper option.
