    Just did it for the first time last weekend. Went smoothly! I had an 8x8ft insulated shack, a cot, and a 20 lb propane tank with a sunflower burner. Youll need a CO detector, recommend a small fan, and a good lighting system. I bought the Otter lights set. About had an aneurysm when I dropped $70 for two small lights but its a really, really nice set up and I would recommend it.

    Tbro, just make sure you always have fresh air coming into your house. I ALWAYS had a window cracked on the windward side. It is those zero wind nights that a fan blowing air in will save your life. My first dead calm night ice camping nearly killed me, then the fan was always along.
    Have fun!

    Available everywhere, cheap insurance that can save your life. I always put it next to my head when sleeping in a structure like a tent or shanty with combustible heat appliance.
