How long will single battery last with heater running?
We may have our first opportunity to dry camp mid winter for one night. Do I stand a chance of surviving on a single deep cycle 12V battery, or should I just plan on buying my first i2000?

I like it to get out of bed into 18 degree air (the bunkhouse in Ennis MT), put my feet on a 2F floor, go to the pot belly stove, shovel kindling in it and get the fire re-ignited, then dress for a 100 yard walk to the "facility" using a hurricane lantern. Don't dare sit in there, you'd stick. A half inch rope with lodgepole posts guide a person through the white out. Lose the guide rope, you die. I guess this changes a person forever when they are fifteen years of age.
Smoky the dog loved it. When the stove warmed up he'd whine then uncurl and lay flat belly to the stove until he started panting, then incrementally he'd move away from the stove and as the fire died down back toward it. At 0600 he would be curled tighter than a diamondback.
And it wasn't a hermit that woke we at two ahem in Zacatecas. Not by a long shot. Not with all the screeching coming from his rig.
