A Battery Operated Fan Is A Great Accessory For Relief From the Heat
When a lot of people hear the words battery operated fan they often think of the little cheap units that are held in the hand and generally not of very good quality. The amount of breeze these small units produce is negligible unless you hold them inches from your face.
Fortunately you can get many more styles of battery operated fans that are suitable for a wide range of environments. You can even get a battery operated fan that has it's own humidifier. When choosing a fan it pays to think about what sort of use are you going to put it to. Do you work in an office where you need a little extra cooling to get through the day or are you a camper who needs a way to circulate the air to stop your tent from getting stuffy.
Coleman make a great many battery operated fans specifically designed for the tent. For keeping the whole tent airy you can get a model that hangs in the center of the tent. Other free standing models work great when placed directly next to your sleeping cot for a cool breeze during those hot humid nights. One of their models can run for 21 hours straight on a set of 4 x D cell batteries

For those who like everything to have a dual use you can purchase battery operated fans that include a light as well. If you have no place to hang them powerful magnets and a metal plate enable you to attach it to anywhere on the tent wall that's convenient. A handy LED nightlight makes getting up for those midnight visits a little easier as well.
Misting fans are a great alternative to the ordinary old fan. Misting fans work by spraying a fine spray of water in front of the spinning blades. As the water evaporates it cools the air a bit more effectively than your standard fan. A technique similar to misting fans is found in portable battery operated air coolers. These work by having a fan blow air over a wet sponge creating cooler air through evaporation much the same as a misting fan.
Personal battery operated humidifiers can also have health benefits for people with allergies. The extra humidity helps keep the nasal passages and throat moist and more comfortable. Careful monitoring is required though as too much moisture will create excellent conditions for mold and dust mites to thrive.
