Heat source options for tent camping

[Krane]

I’m a big fan of tent camping and I go whenever I can, even when the temperature drops. I’ve tried both propane heaters and battery-powered ones with mixed results. Sometimes it’s enough, sometimes I still end up bundled like a burrito. I’m curious what others rely on...do you use heaters, insulated pads or just a ton of layers?

I use a thick sleeping pad and a good sleeping bag, and then add clothes when it gets colder. A little propane heater helps in the morning, but I try not to use it too much... it just feels safer to stay warm from the ground up

Forget those propane heaters. Get your insulation right..a good R-value sleeping pad and the perfect sleeping bag are what you need.
