Cold weather camping and Happy New Year

Post by Oldbagpipe »

We just completed our first camping trip without towing the race car. Four days of upper 20's and clear. Problem is, I now have a better handle on my propane capacity....only three days :( Fortunately, our friends loaned us their electric heater and we were good!

Happy New Year from the PNW.

My kids are all in their 30's and I keep gong back to Ernie (Sesame Street) singing: "...One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others. By the time I finish my song? Did you guess which thing was not like the others? Did you guess which thing just doesn't ..."

On the plus side... no one will accuse you of trying to compensate for something. :rofl:

I ended up picking up a "Mr. Heater" and a box of the little propane canisters for it, haven't used it yet but it will stay in the B.

The reality is that your rig probably got more looks and was discussed more than the others.

Uh, are those safe to use inside? Propane heaters like that usually aren’t. Even catalytic heaters require a source of fresh air.

Like anything else, a person needs to use due caution, keep a window cracked, have a working carbon monoxide detector... If you know the risked...
