Renegade Tent Heater

Posted by Filed Under Camping Propane Stoves with No Comments

This camp and/or hunting heater incorporates renewable energy practices while getting more use from the campfire. It is also capable of being an emergency survival heater, or a personal sleeping bag warmer. Yes, it’s that versitle, and safe!! See, here at Renegade Camping Equipment, we wanted to do something new in the camping world. We wanted to get the most out of the free energy source that’s available while camping, (the high energy source of the campfire)!! We could imagine camping in comfort, and saftey. No matter how cold the temperature was. Power sources for camping, has typically incorporated the use of some type of fuel to take camping with you, and usually that fuel would be propane. With this gas you could then bring, heat into a tent, and if you are extremely careful!! You would be able to warm your tent, but at the cost of saftey issues. The most immediate concern is the issue of something extremely hot being in the tent with you. These products heat through radiant heat. And to achieve warmth through radient heat the heat source must achieve high temperatures, high enough to warm the air in the area. Many times, radiant heaters reach a operating temperature over 650 C, 1200 F. With temperatures this high, it isn’t hard to see that this could be a threat, and a definite saftey concern. The Renegade Tent Heater doesn’t heat with fuels that has to be bought. But heats with fuel that is found readily, in most camping areas (Firewood). And heating with free

Cold Weather Survival Evaluation

Are you ready to bug out in cold weather? What gear would you need? How would you stay clean? I thought I was ready until I actually tried winter camping for ten days. I had a lot to learn, the hard, cold way. Sot and I arrived on Sunday and were stoked to get on the trail to find a place to set up camp. The snow wasn’t deep enough to need snowshoes, which also meant we wouldn’t be making any snow shelters like a quinzee or snow cave. After some scouting we found an open area ideal for setting up the 11 foot diameter tipi and outside fire pit. The hike in only took about 15 minutes with our over packed sleds, and we’re both sadly out of shape. Each sled was loaded with about 60 pounds of gear. After we caught our breath we started to set up. The woodstove and teepee didn’t take long, and within a couple of hours we had a working campsite complete with an outside firepit and lean-to. We froze for the first three nights as I just couldn’t get the stove in the tepee to work. Even with our mountains of wool blankets. In fact, we spent much of the first three nights hanging out in the truck with the heater on waiting for the sun to rise so we could drive to town and have a hot breakfast. Sot had enough of the cold, hard living by Thursday, so I drove him home. While driving him home I got more supplies and the keys for my friend’s cabin that’s on the land we were camping on. I thought it would be great to recover with some easier living in the cabin but I was in for a rude
