I'm still trying to figure out whether your photo illustrates the fact that you take the dog with you to keep you warm when you go camping or that you borrow the dog's heater when you go camping.

Well SVX37 beat me to it, nothing beats a good old hot water bottle.
I have used these with great results for keeping the kiddies warm. (And the daddies and mummies).
Simple, durable and it won't burn your tent down or asphyxiate you.
Add to this, good clothes (thermals are great!) and a beanie and your warm as toast.
If your not ready for bed, fill one up and rest it on your lap or kick your boots off and rest your tootsies on it.
I am big on simple camping though!
The biggest drawback is when you wake up at 3am and hear the sloshing of water at the bottom of your sleeping bag

what i use is an electric blanket connected to a 150w inverter to a 12v battery leave the blanket on number 1 works a treat uses very little power

That's a cool warming idea! I have thought about that but dismissed it as too much power. I might re-asses it.

Stevo,
Keep it simple, and safe.
The Coleman's are great, I've got one of their Catalytic ones, feel free to borrow it if you're up here this week and want it.
You supposedly don't need to,but I would want to have some fresh air, even a minimal amount, like a corner tent flap open, somewhere regardless of what you do.
Also, the hot water bottles are awesome. They keep warm for most of the night, and are simple, cheap and easy to have one each for the tribe.
Cheers

The other advantage of hot water bottles is if your in the desert you can either keep re-using the water or use it for washing.Stevo,

personally i'm not keen on heaters inside the tent and we have enough carp in there a heater would only add to it.
was camping last weekend for the first time in cooler weather (barrington tops) and had bought the family thermals to keep them warm. worked a treat and both kids and wifey slept snug as a bug in a rug.
cheers
