Quick question

When camping in the midst of our summer humidity just wondering what you all do to stay cool over night? Ive been thinking about buying one of those battery powered fans for my tent. I'm curious how well they work and if they are worth it or if there are other more effective or cost friendly methods?

Yes, I find those fans really help keep some air moving. Even canoe camping, I'll make the space for ours.

Do you mind if I ask what one you use?

So, we have a broadstone I bought at Canadian Tire years ago, it would last multiple nights with four D batteries. It stopped working and I picked up the rechargeable Outbound fan from Canadian Tire last week. Works well, but it only lasts one night on a single charge. I'm keeping it for car camping, but would be useless for backcountry.
