Staying warm

[120+]

I've often wondered if this would be a good option in a blind.

I used those until I got a buddy heater. They worked fairly well

Lot of odor.

Buddy heater is the ticket

A diesel heater would be the way to go.

I'm sure they are better but I'm packing crap uphill for a good bit. Those are a LOT smaller/lighter.

As 1wildcatfan said they due have an odor.
I use to have a small blind umbrella with side skirt that I used for turkey hunting. On cold mornings I would carry a 4 pack of Sterno in my vest. Two cans would warm that blind up in no time. I have a couple of 4ftx4ftx5ft tall box blinds that on really cold days while gun hunting I will close all but one window and light up a chaffing burner and set it between my legs under the chair. I have see and shot deers up wind of me while doing this.
Now I carry a back pack single burner stove that screws directly into the small butane tanks they will heat up a 5ftx5ft blind nicely but 5hen you have odor and the jet engine noise going at the same time. But I get cold easy so the heat is welcome.

They have a smell until you light them. I’m sure they still put off some smell after that but it’s not enough for a human nose to smell.

If you were huntin humans, you wouldn't have to worry about the wind. Guarantee deer can smell em.

I’m sure they can. That’s why I said I’m sure they still put off a smell

ive used a buddy heater in my shooting house for years and killed deer . i myself like to stay warm as i get older a get cold easy i dont think it hurts your hunting ....

Funny thing.....
I tried these a few years ago on a late gun hunt at Barkley
I wasn't impressed with the heat provided, it just dissipated to quickly,
I was not in a blind either, just sitting against a tree on the ground.

YMMV
