keeping warm in winter?
What do you do to keep warm in winter while in your van other then leaving the van running?
I found a kerosene heat used mostly for cottages and RV's, wondering of anyone know anything about it, its small and will last about 34 hours before it need to be filled ?
I used to use electric blanket in my truck, that I used to plug into a power inventer 800watt.

What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth?
Judging from exhaustive and repeated realistic simulations
involving a sledge hammer and a common frog,
we can assume it will be pretty bad.

A flannel sheet?
A ski mask?
Are you guys crazy?
I dont know about you guys, but I like to sleep in my bvd's under covers, and wake up to a nice cozy environment.I'll get a generator, leave it outside, and run an extension cord to a space heater.I'm not waking up with a blue face, icicles hanging off of the nose.

Re: keeping warm in winter?
I sleep nekkid on top of the -20 degree sleeping bag. I don't even want to think what icicles would be hanging off of if I didn't have an Espar heater.

Re: keeping warm in winter?
I believe RichM and/or Davekc had a solution to this problem. Stay south of I-40!
