Heater question for those that fish in a tent

[wagdog]

I'll add my two cents to the many that have already been thrown at this thread. I have a QuickFish 3. I can pack me and my 3 boys (ages 15, 12, and 5) in it with a Mr. Buddy heater. My boys only fish with one rod each and usually when we are all out together, I'm not doing much fishing. I'm taking fish off, tying on jigs, baiting hooks, etc. I don't run the heater too much when it is all of us because once we get in, close the door, and get to fishing, there is plenty of body heat that gets trapped quickly. Our last trip together to Scofield resulted in a grand total of 5 minutes of heater time. I agree with what others have said about space being an issue. If I am in there by myself, I'll have two or three holes drilled, heater going, sonar set up, the whole nine yards. The space shrinks considerably adding kids and if you run those heaters for a while, they do get very hot and could burn a small kid who isn't paying attention. Good luck!
