I was looking at some options for heaters to use while camping during the winter months, I am pretty sure my sleeping bags will do the job in most all situations, however there are a few times where I am finding myself pushing the low limits of my bag, so I thought I might look at some heaters I could use for those nights. Normally a Little Buddy heater would work fine, but there are many times I sleep in my car/SUV and the idea of having something that produces toxins in my enclosed vehicle sounds like a bad idea.
Yeah, so, I was looking at this thing here: https://www.amazon.com/PowerHunt-Volt-Hellfire-Quartz-Heater/dp/B00A6CFAFC but as anyone would understand, using an electric heater works great when there is electricity available, but what happens when the power runs out i.e. dead batteries?
Being that I will be using such things at night, solar will not work so well since the fact that the sun will not be out, one other option I have seen out there are wind generators.
I am not very familiar with wind power, and I understand they are not as efficient as solar, but I am hoping that they can produce enough energy to keep my battery charged overnight while using the heater.
If anyone has any input on the matter I would be really happy to hear it. Anything that can help me understand this better will be of great help.
Thanks
