Q. I'm looking for a way to power a small electric space heater for when I go camping. The heater uses a standard three prong plug that plugs into an outlet for a house. I've seen things that are solar powered but they cost a small fortune and ones that can jump a car and are air compressors. I'm just looking for something that I can charge and stuff it in a backpack... If there is a such thing
Answer
Highly impractical - heating needs too much energy.
If you really think you need a portable heater, there are gas powered or petroleum powered tent heaters available (search for 'tent heater'). Some of them portable, all of them more or less risky, since a tent is a very small environment and tends to contain quite easily flammable substances (like the filling of your sleeping bag...).

Please share any camping tips. Also, anyone have any ideas for heating up a tent, when you can't get ahold of a portable tent heater. Maybe a single burner propane stove? Any camping tips and/or ideas? Thanks.
Catalytic Heaters?
Answer
Don't do any propane type heater in a tent....Carbon Monoxide poisoning and potential for fire.
Best is to have a good sleeping bag, a foam pad to sleep on, warm clothing, wool socks.
A way to keep warm at night is....collect a few nice river rocks and place them by the fire to heat up...once you are ready to head in for bed....grab the rocks and wrap them in some clothing or a towel and slip them in your bag.
