Abstract: A container for heating equipment allows the equipment to be stored in a safe and secure environment, and to be easily transported to a wide variety of locations for use. The container is also used to support at least a portion of the equipment during the operation of the equipment. In particular, the container is preferably used with heating equipment such as portable water heaters, portable showers, and portable tent heaters. Advantageously, the body of the container is capable of storing water for the portable water heaters and portable showers, and the lid of the container is capable of retaining the portable water heater, shower or tent heater in the generally upright position.

Abstract: A multi-purpose heating unit is sized and configured to be used with a variety of attachments or devices to perform various functions such as heating, cooking and providing light. In particular, the multi-purpose heating unit includes a heat source which can be used with a water heating attachment, an air heating attachment, a cooking attachment, and/or a light source attachment. Each of these attachments is configured to be selectively attachable to the heat source. Advantageously, because the same heat source is used in connection with these different devices, this decreases the size, weight and storage volume of these devices. This also allows the heating unit and some or all of the desired attachments or devices to be stored and transported in a relatively small container.
