Time and place. Completely depends on where you are staying for how long, and your desired accommodations (head room, etc.). Drying out clothing for 2-3 people isn't going to happen with a portable propane stove and a few canisters.I still say forget having to gather wood, light fire, and keep the fire stoked. A simple solution to a warm tent would be to use a small propane stove. It would likely warm a small tent in a matter of minutes and is as easy to light as flicking a bic! A stove also has the benefit of being used for cooking.
