I have this fan and I like it. I have several 20v batteries, and several other Dewalt 20v Tools.
DEWALT-20-Volt-Max-Jobsite-Fan-Battery-Not-Included Edit - It is cheaper on Amazon. Hope this helps! D |

I got a fan that runs on 18650 batteries. Lasts hours, and a lot less heavy. Batteries are same as my flashlights, and spares are easy to carry in the field.

Seen a lot of them on Amazon but most reviews are one or two night no reviews of people who used them for 5+ day trips so they would need to recharge the batteries. I have looked at them also because my flashlights |

D If not Dewalt, a small job site fan from whatever brand tools you already use (Milwakee, Makita, ...). Same for small air pumps for air mattresses. You already have the batteries and they have wayyyy more power capacity than alkalines and the fans are far stronger than the little "camp" fans you'll find in stores. |

I might be wrong but going to sleep no matter how tired you are being a sweaty mess as you sleep is not fun! Did 24+ hour patrols in Iraq having to stay awake that whole time and being in contact with enemy fire having to run around with 50+ lbs of weight sweating out the bleach the put on the water so you could drink it. I kind of feel sorry snowflake me! I deserve to have a fan! Also it sucks when it is 100+ and 110+ in a tent with a rain fly! That slight breeze is God sent! |

For hurricane seasons my gal and I each have two O2 Cool 10” fans that run on 12vac adapters, or 6/8 D batteries. You can get them a Target, or ChinaMart for $20.

What kind of power tools do you have? Get the fan that goes with that.
I use Ryobi as i just mess around at home, not on a jobsite. If i use a 4ah baterry i can get 10-11 hours of use. If weight isnt a huge concern just bring a couple batteries or the big 9ah ones I have this fan. Works great for car camping and at the beach/lake https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Hybrid-Portable-Fan-Tool-Only-P3320/205022215?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&mtc=Shopping-B-F_D25T-G-D25T-25_9_PORTABLE_POWER-Multi-NA-Feed-LIA-NA-NA-PortablePower_LIA&cm_mmc=Shopping-B-F_D25T-G-D25T-25_9_PORTABLE_POWER-Multi-NA-Feed-LIA-NA-NA-PortablePower_LIA-71700000044155732-58700004615424082-92700060764889471&gclid=CjwKCAjwgZuDBhBTEiwAXNofRCLFVM_HQhGkLvreDq8_zZvH2Jw2EfsjjC6LHAn0TJ7mZo3nD90FFBoCPDMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds |

Are you talking desert soutwest? If so I'd take that dry heat over the swampa$$ muck in the southeast.  A fellow scout leader used a cheapo from walmart a couple years ago and was happy with it and it had good battery life. |

The harbor freight job site fan is the most cost effective way to go if you want battery powered.
Or run a small invertor generator and a regular box fan. |

In the past, I simply bought an 8" 12V fan at the car parts store (all stainless steel back in the day was cheap, reliable, and moved a lot of air). Without going into excessive detail, I mounted it to the top of a deep-cycle marine battery with some wood and wired in an on/off switch. It was simple and ugly, but would last easily for 3 nights without needing a recharge, and that was about all I could take in camping in sweltering heat.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have the milwaukee. But about 18 hrs a battery. Take as many batteries as you need. This. I get 10-11 hours with a 4ah battery, you would get more run time with a larger one. I would just take extra batteries unless weight is a big concern. I would guess a solar powered fan is not going to blow very hard, but have never used one |
