[Ansteorra] GW camping in cold/hot weather tips

[Sher M]

That's why I like my canvas tent.  It has 4 vents at the top yet one heater 
will keep it warm, well warm enough to change clothes without teeth 
chattering.  I don't have to worry (as much) about carbon monoxide with the 
vents.  Also the way the flap fastens a big tank could be left outside.  My 
problem with that is I don't want to trip over a hose.

> Just a comment on heaters in tents.
> I spent the week beteen Christmas and New Year's working at a Boy Scout 
> Camp.  We treated 6 youth and 2 adults for mild to moderate Carbon 
> Monoxide poisioning due to heaters in their tents.  The tents were both 
> modern nylon and heavy canvas tents, but in all cases the tents had been 
> sealed.  This prevented air exchange.
> All six incidents could have been prevented by either not using a heater 
> or by leaving a vent space in the tent.
