Was going to get EHU for an October trip but wonder if there is a way of heating/lighting the tent in a cheap alternative and lightweight way?

Any help appreciated

hiya we also use to use a patio heater and battery operated lights but we have ehu now. its not very lightweight with having the gas bottle unless you are taking it with you anyway for cooking and the batteries were costing a furtune bought rechargeable ones then just forgot to recharge them before we went so in the end ehu was the best option for us.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Love the campinggaz lantern idea

Didn't realize that the light would heat if you see what I mean.Only a small tent.

Much appreciatred. Ian

I agree with hammo and rtck. We used our campingaz lantern for light and heating on our last trip when it was a bit nippy at night.

Its amazing the heat that a little lantern like that can pump out.

If you want the best performance then the best answer is a coleman petrol lamp various sizes to suit needs and a heat/light output that has to be seen to be belived far out performs gas

glowsticks are good for overnight rather than be pitch black.
