Puffer base camp planning.

Are there any heaters with fans which run off a gas bottle alone? Can't get electricity so this magical machine would be ace.

If I try to design it in my head I can't see such a thing working.

Maybe I should rig a bike to a turbo to a fan in front of a burner . . . ?

Any other keeping warm and drying out without killing half the team with carbon monoxide tips?

Cheers!

I suppose if you were feeling brave you could always try and fashion up a venturi effect ejector to run off the gas bottle pressure- entrain the air at the same time and then light it as it leaves?

Coleman do, or did, a tent heater. Gas powered with a fan. It sits outside the tent and air is drawn over a heater exchanger by the pump.

I had one a few years ago. In the end a bigger jumper seemed less hassle.
