Tent campers suffer carbon monoxide poisoning
“…it is still a very real risk even in a tent, any enclosed area, and anything that is a gas-burning stove or heater can put off carbon monoxide. Just don’t want people to let their guards down and think that just because it didn’t happen in a house that it can’t happen in a tent.”

“We put carbon monoxide detectors in our homes to make us aware of any odorless leaks coming from our furnace, stove or generator.
