>>1865446the other really comfy nighttime thing i like to take in lieu of a fire is a video production LED light like pic related.
the ones with both yellow and white leds and a colour temp adjustment and also a brightness adjustment so you can run them very dim. They also come with diffusers. Rig a wire over the back so you can hang it. Can make really nice ambient light
that + candle/ mantle lantern + gas burner and hot food + whiskey/weed + nice spot with view + headtorch and a book + enough merino/down clothes so you're not just 'warm enough' you're COMFY
campfires are really nice but the idea that you can't have a comfy night alone outdoors without one is nonsense unless there's snow on the ground.
