I don't want no drunk chick trying to pee in a Gatorade bottle in my tent!

yeah... i envision myself getting up, drunk still, unzipping my pants, shivering and pissing all over the tent and myself... then getting more cold since i'm wet....


that double bag is sweet.... but i'm on a $75-100 budget... so maybe two cheaper 40* bags...

I was thinking the same thing, haha. I've n ever been cold in the tent in ANY crazy weather, it's getting OUT of the tent that's the problem.

Thats what I was mostly complaining about, I have a 30deg bag & wear under Armour. But the tent is screened all the way around so changing & getting in is what sux till your body warms the bag up. Then making breakfast standing in the freezing weather blows, I dont care who you are! We had a pack of bacon slide off a picknick table cause of all the frost the one morn

[trailblaze]

whoa... your meat slid off the table!! you should wrap is up in something...

[Leady]

yeah dude be careful with your meat

[rokhound21]

The picnic table has been modified to handle my meat no matter how much frost we get !

Had to look at the date on this thread. I was wondering why this question was asked in Aug lol.

For a $1000 I'm buying a camper with a furnace. For that matter ain't no way in hellz, I'm camping at -61'F.

For a tent heater check out the MrHeater's at wally world, Lowe's, Sears, Home depot, etc. I was jacked last year Lowes blew them out at an end of season sale for 30.00 (sing burner) and 60.00 (dbl burner) Guys say they work great under 10,000 ft. haha I was like something tells me, that's not going to be an issue around here.

This is what I use for cold weather camping...modular...warm...affordable...and camo! I took my sleep system into the Adirondacks the first week of last March and I was very comfortable sleeping in the open sided lean-to in -20 or whatever the hell temperature nights it was. A few times I had to open it up a little because I was too warm and I only had on one layer of polypro long underwear (also military surplus and a great buy). Now that I think about it, almost all my camping gear is milsurp. MOLLE pack, iso-pad, etc. Can't beat that stuff for the price. The only thing I added to the sleeping bag is one of those small compressible camping pillows and it fits in the sleeping pad.

They can be had for cheaper than the cheaper than dirt prices.

Original US ECWS modular sleep system, this truly is the warmest sleeping bag, down to -30 degrees, when all pieces are used together. Sleep system includes a camo waterproof/breathable bivy, black patrol sleeping bag, and an olive intermediate sleeping bag that all packs in the compression sack. Each piece can be used individually or together to create the desired level of warmth. 84x32" tappered with boxed foot that will accommodate boots! The only sleep system you need to own, it is three bags in one, no more need for multiple temperature rated bags that take up storage space, used in good condition. Total weight, 10 pounds, all layers combined.

a good sleeping bag is the key. you won't need a tent heater
