Okay I finally talked the girl into going hunting, but I might have screwed up. It's cold! All I have setups for is bowhunting at that. What do y'all think about a heater in a bow blind? And if it's a go, what kind? Appreciate the help guys!

I would not use one in a bow blind because of the noise factor.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Used it every day while guiding this past week. Worked like a champ. The bottles last about 5 hours or so.

If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

Mr. Buddy all the way. No noise and starts up on the first click. Mine does anyway. Plenty of heat and safe. Used it this weekend in the cold snap we had.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

What's happens to the coffee can when you wanna put it out? You put a lid on and it extinguishes it. My wife uses a Mr Buddy Heater and I'm pretty sure it has gotten her busted a few times but they do work well.

What's happens to the coffee can when you wanna put it out? I would recommend a small pot lid instead of the plastic coffee can lid. Wait until it cools before putting the plastic lid back on.

God I miss having a heater in the blind. Naps were the best before sun up.  Now I hunt out of a 20' tripod protected by only camo netting. Let me tell ya, it gets cold especially these last two storms. A man can only take so much!
