Doc,
Anything 12vdc would draw too much current.
A 300 watt heating element would draw 25 amps dc. 300 watts is nothing.
You would have to run the engine to charge battery anyway.

Sitting in a tree stand at 10 degress for hours I have learned a couple of things.
1. A good knit cap or even face mask.
2. Thinsulate socks and good boots.
3. Warm packs in a belt on my kidneys keeps me real toasty.
4. Thinsulate gloves.

The other thing is a wet suit. Peeing in a wet suit keeps you really warm.

Martini factor not included.
