    Would you say that's better then vortex pro gt tripod??

     

    It's a pretty solid tripod/head combo for the price. I used one for several years before upgrading to a Slik/Manfrotto combination, but that over doubles your price point. I definitely prefer my Slik setups but did just purchase another Vanguard 264AO in January becuase of the growing number of hunters in my house.

    Had the same issue also being paranoid of it killing us but in the Turkey youth camp several people had them and they ask me why don't you use one...it was cold and we have a Youth Elk hunt and some turkey weeks to come so want to be more prepare

     

     

    Ran a Mr. Heater in a 10x14 Kodiak this past weekend at the junior turkey camp in Unit 1. It was my first time using it. I also ran a long hose with an external tank. I was paranoid about killing all of us, so I took a portable carbon monoxide detector and kept the windows a lot more open than was probably necessary. As was mentioned, it has an O2 sensor, but you can have plenty of oxygen in the air and still have a dangerous amount of CO in the area.

     

    I left it on low while we slept. Because I had the windows cracked so much it was still a bit chilly in the tent, but it definitely took the edge off. When we woke up I just closed up most of the windows and cranked it up to high while we dressed. We had high winds most of the time and snow on Friday night. The heater melted the snow off of most of the roof. The kids had heavy bags, but said they were totally comfortable all night.

     

    Mr. Heater doesn't recommend using the devices at elevations over 7k feet because the O2 sensor might cause it not to work at higher altitudes, but we were at about 9k feet and it worked just fine.

     

    Next time I want to get a small battery operated fan and hang it in one corner of the tent to see if it will circulate the warm air a little better.
