    Nice wee video, Cowal is such a forgotten part of Scotland but its beautiful sitting on the Clyde estuary. I've camped a few times up by Otterferry, don't know if that is still Cowal. lovely part of the country. Looked cold but was interested in the wee heater you have. As a maturing person I think that I could be doing with something like that on my winter camps, always love seeing new things that I think could be useful to me. Thank you for the video.

    A wee 15-20 mins with the heater just takes the edge off. My last camp was lovely, sat watching some tv with the heater going. Had it up to 20 degrees at one point when i stuck it on full blast.

    You are lucky there is no wildlife in your area. In Québec, if i cook in my tent, black bears will show up during the night for sure. We always have to hide the food at least 50 meters from where we sleep and never eat in the tent.
