Re: M_Boats: Heater on an M17
It is hard to see - lets be vigilant here, but it can also be put out effectively with all that material surrounding the boat. Clean and plentiful fire extinguisher that water is.

True ... I don't worry about it in my boat, but it is a consideration for people to think about. My little Origo butane stove seems pretty safe to me, but I don't use it that often (and never for heat overnight). I wouldn't trust any kind of combustible heater in a boat while sleeping, but I'm a bit paranoid about CO. I worked for a boiler manufacturer and handled the initial contact of the CO claims, so I have more hesitation than most people! GILASAILR@aol.com wrote:

One of my favorite tricks from years of winter backpacking to have a good warrrrrm night's sleep was to boil extra water in the evening for that last cup of tea. I'd put the extra boiled water in my nalogene water bottle; tighten up the cap; slip it in a wool sock; put it in the foot of my sleeping bag and loosely roll up the sleeping bag. After having the tea and a couple of fire side stories, I'd unroll the sleeping bag and climb inside. I'd keep the sock covered water bottle down at my feet and I'd sleep all night long. Even though the water didn't stay super hot all night, it would keep me warm well into the wee hours by which time I had enough body heat to keep me warm till morning. The next morning I'd have a bottle of luke warm water that I could make my morning coffee while watching others trying different techniques of melting their frozen canteens to make breakfast. Needless to say, those non-believers were all boiling extra water the next night............
Very clever, Joe. Sort of like the old hot water 'bottle' folks used to take to bed. Fran former M15 #236, M8 Advanced Elements Kayak now

It started from one very sub freezing night, I didn't want my water bottle to freeze solid overnight so I put it in my sleeping bag. Then the light went on... why not put hot water in it as well....
