I agree with the theme that radiant heat may not be the most efficient use of energy. That's why I suggested heating water (with a device designed to boil water with propane) and putting hot water bottles under clothing or in sleeping bags.

What do you think of that?

This method was used in the video:

Here is the Jetboil product:

Okay, as I mentioned, heating air is very inefficient (also potentially dangerous regarding oxygen levels).

One could more efficiently heat bricks, stones, or WATER. A water bottle, for example, can be put under your clothes or in your sleeping bag to increase efficiency.

Of course, others also thought of this. Here is a tutorial from a guy who heats up water to keep him warm at night and the water is still warm by the morning.

You can use the soldier's existing water bottle or something like this:

This can also go under clothes.

That's it for now from me.

Mountain climbers use aspirin to thin the blood to improve circulation for keeping the limbs warm.

"Many high altitude climbers take an Aspirin a day to thin their blood, reducing the chance of a stroke, and also improving circulation which in turn keeps the extremities warmer."

Recent studies also show that garlic also improves circulation (also taken by mountain climbers). [Same source.] See also:

That heater can also attach to a different type of cylinder (see image where heater uses cylinder as a base). I think the heater is found at this link:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804672259047.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US

[Walmart link below]

That cylinder looks to be the same interface as a larger type of cylinder (see image). These cylinders are EXTREMELY common for campers. Thus, it may be easy to supply them. And, you can likely adapt the heater to input an even larger cylinder (think your barbecue).

Walmart link to heater:

Also, other heaters have the same cylinder:

This radiator may be more useful than you think. It seems small overall and the canisters are small too. A box of canisters would not take up that much space.

Maybe give it a try?

Since it is so small, maybe it's better not to heat open space, but to turn it into a heated pad or blanket to put under a jacket. A personal heater. That would be more efficient and fuel would last longer.

Brainstorming time guys... Our boys and girls on the front are cold as hell and need a way to warm up, we were thinking of these but a cylinder only lasts 4 hours so isn't really feasible.
Has anyone got any ideas of how to keep our guys warm?
