3 Reasons to Get a Portable Heater This Hunting Season

Discover why portable heaters are a great piece of hunting equipment.

As a hunter, you’ll most likely experience some bitter cold hunting conditions. If you hunt in a ground blind, you can use a portable heater to keep you warm and comfortable.

Portable heaters are great for hunting. They’re easy to set up and they’ll keep you warm. This gives you the ability to hunt all day long in freezing conditions.

Blain’s Farm & Fleet is here to show you some of the top reasons to use a heater this hunting season.

1. Added Warmth

Using an electric heater in your hunting blind will keep you warm on even the coldest days. With the right size heater, you can comfortably hunt in your blind without the added bulk of your hunting jacket.

Portable heaters are also great to use in a tent. If you’re embarking on a longer hunting trip and plan to camp, a heater is your best bet for staying warm.

2. More Hunting Time

When you’re hunting, your day could be cut short by freezing temperatures. You can try hand warmers or layering more clothes, but nothing beats using a heater.

With a heater, you can keep hunting all day long.

3. Safe & Easy Setup

The best heaters for hunting will have automatic shutoff features in case they tip over or detect low oxygen levels. If you follow the right safety precautions and read the owner’s manual, using a heater is easy.

Because the heaters are portable, they don’t require electricity. All you need is a fuel source (typically propane) to pump out the heat in your hunting blind. It’s that easy.

Tips for Using Portable Heaters

If you use heaters in your hunting blind, you’ll need to take some safety precautions.

• Look for a model that has a safety tip-over shutoff option and a low-oxygen shutoff.
• Always use heaters that are approved for indoor use.
• Make sure you have a heater that is the right size for the area you’re heating. And always allow enough space around the heater.
• Be sure you have proper ventilation and oxygen flow in your hunting blind. 
• When you’re looking at different types of heaters, think about the noise they produce. You need a heater that will be quiet when it’s running. Any added noise can spook deer away from your hunting area.
