[QUOTE="xcvator, post: 339377, member: 8322"] Camping in the cold is ok IF you're set up for it properly, a few pointers for you in no particular order 1/ The tarp over the tent is a start, but if you can leave an air gap between the tent and the tarp it will be much better, cheap pool noodles are good for this 2/ A very good sleeping bag, if you can't afford a good 1 , go to "spotlight" and get several metres of "polar fleece" and cut it into lengths long enough to [u]completely[/u] cover you, head to toe. 3/ When you sit around the fire you can drape this same polar fleece over your chairs, keeps your back and bum warm 4/ Personal cleanliness is easy, 1 cup boiling water, 3 cups cold water in a small container and a face washer will give you a "pits and crutch" and a light wash every day. 5/ Thermal underwear is pretty cheap and effective, along with a "beenie" and waterproof gloves. 6/ A metal bucket with a few litres of water in it left beside the fire will give you lots of hot water for quick drinks, cuppasoup, noodles in a cup, etc and washing. 7/ Hot water bottles to pre heat your bed, re use the water tomorrow 8/ NEVER EVER FORGET THE BOOZE Have a look at [url=http://www.myswag.org]www.myswag.org[/url] as well, an absolute "gold mine" of information there cheers Keith [/QUOTE]
