It was time to give the "blow-up" tent a test to see how feasible it would be for winter use.
The photo suggests there is a lot of space but there isn't. I'm thinking of using this tent for a winter experience. Because the space is small the kerosene heater can warm the tent in moments. The heater can last 8 hours on one tank of fuel. Yes, there is a carbon monoxide detector as an added safety measure. Though I feel safe I turn it off at bedtime to save fuel.
This tent has two skylights; one over the chair and one over my bed.
There are two open vents at the top of the doors.
I liked the design but it is heavy so much so that I probably will be staying with the Outback Lodge. Bigger, lighter, and better vented.
I was snuggled up to Pinehurst Lake for five days.
Temperatures were on the cold side and there was rain for two days.
On the day I packed up the temperature went up to 73 but during the night it was 45 degrees.
