I agree with misterzee. Get a couple of the hot hands heat packs. I have a couple of re-usable ones that are meant for sleeping bags. You just boil them in water to reactivate them and bend the coin thing inside the pack that looks like a coin to get heat again. Good for a lot of uses. I have used them 50 times allready and they still work OK. They are not as good as the hot hands and I don't know where to find them any more. I would stay away from gas heaters. If you get realy cold it helps to share your bag with a friend

I asked my friend to share but he punched me in the eye. Ha ha j/k. I think i stayed warm due to the multi layers on top and bottom. I forgot a cap and that is one thing i would reccomend.

You laways have the option of a ceramic heater

I have never used one and it might not do any good at all but it might be worth a shot.

On another note, I saw a link on another site for a combustion heater that runs on gasoline. It was pretty small, you install it on your truck somewhere (underneath even) and plumb it into your fuel tank, then route the hot air hose into the cabin. That would be ultra-trick for someone that cold weather camps frequently.

Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Espcially with the vibrations from off-roading.

yeah i agree with the hot hands stuff there cheap just get like 20 of them or something and put them in the sleeping bag before you get in there cause they can take about 20 or so min. to get going
