One thing I have found handy and is safer than one of those gas heater is to use one of those power packs and an electric blanket. I have this one

Was checking out the airscooter II (http://www.airscooter.com) the other day. Pretty pricey ($50K) but a cool machine anyways. 350lb payload and roughly 65 mph max speed.
