The only problem is that a vaccine likely won't be ready until December (some sites were saying November or October and now I'm seeing maybe not until the spring, which I think is all an attempt to hurt Trump's reelection chances), and it's already getting cold some days here in Greater Cincinnati.  

Does anyone know of a good portable heater that I can buy to take out to the street with me to help keep me warm?

I've seen some for camping but are those only made to be in a tent?

I'm willing to spend up to $200, and I've seen some for as little as $50 to $100, but I just want something that will do the job, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

The majority though work off a tank of some kind, so you have to refill the fuel every so many hours. There's not much as far as battery powered options if you were looking for something low maintenance. From my experiences hunting, the best bet is to invest in quality cold weather gear. It doesn't all come in camo and it's generally the best way to stay warm in low temps.

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-F232000-Indoor-Safe-Portable/dp/B002G51BZU

It is made to be hooked up to 1lb propane tanks and considered some of the best in portable and emergency heating. It only weighs 9 pounds. You can get several hours of heating set on low with a 1lb tank.  They state 3 hours at max BTU.  Not sure how many hours you spend a day out there. 

Here is a much smaller version and might be a better option made by the same company.  It also uses 1lb propane tanks:

You are not going to get a decent heat source that doesn't use gas or electricity.  So you will either have to use a product like above and have 1lb propane tanks or bundle up in cold weather gear.

You said you were willing to spend up to $200.  For the cost of the heaters listed above you can easily buy it and several 1lb propane tanks.  For example the Walmart website  is showing a 4 pack of 1lb propane tanks for $14.

The second two look too small and can the first one be angled up?
