I tested four different ridgeline fans. You may be surprised by the results.

Thanks, guys. Is kinda fun doing these things and neat knowing folks are finding them useful.

Great job again Sarge. I use the one below and not sure about the weight, but I am sure the two D batteries weigh more than the fan.

If I keep the speed on low I can get through 2 nights. Yes I do manage to hook this fan onto my ridgeline with some bungee.

Yah, the fans in the video are some that I've collected over the years. I was kind of surprised that the little 02 Cool fan crapped out as its actually the first time it failed me and was the first fan I ever got.

I'm guessing you're not "ultra light".

Thanks! This is stuff I've talked about around a campfire for the past couple of years. Its fun to extend that campfire circle out electronically to hundreds of folks.
