[QUOTE="Winkfish, post: 1390395, member: 98068"] I have done my fair share of winter camping and mountaineering and I have never had a heat source in the tent. A quality 4 season tent, properly rated sleeping bag and thermal barrier between you and the snow was all I ever needed. I spent three days in a tent on Mount Rainier in an ice storm and only went out to knock ice off the tent from time to time. On backpacking trip in Yellowstone one January the temps made it to -40 on three of the nights. I was just fine with a quality sleeping bad and good gear. A warm water bottle in the bottom of you sleeping bag goes a long way in keeping you comfortable at night, along with a dry pair of socks. I don't like to haul more weight than necessary when in the mountains. If you are not hiking far and weight is not a concern then make yourself as comfortable as possible. . [/QUOTE]
