In response to "it could snow on Sunday. -- nm" by Andie

you are only really in there to sleep?

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Oct 17 '18, 07:52

enough blankets and I am sure it would be ok.

I love sleeping in the cold anyway.

it't the cold ground that is the problem when you camp in the winter. not the air above you. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 07:52 26
- Well, the cold ground and grizzly bears that want to hibernate in your sleeping bag. -- nm - Ender Oct 17, 09:05
- Ground stays pretty similar year-round. Old arctic survival trick: on cold nights bury your water under snow close to the ground. - mafic Oct 17, 08:09 13
  - Yeah, it won't be -40. THANK GOD! We'll live. It just went from 'comfy heated cabins' to 'you get a tent' in 24 hours. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:13 12
    - It’s an adventure! You could totally trick one of the kids into the tent. -- nm - mafic Oct 17, 08:15 2
      - i probably could. If there weren't rules, i might have asked if two wanted to sleep there with me, but i can't... -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:18 1
        
        Maybe a bear will saunter by and keep you warm -- nm - decline Oct 17, 08:27
    - is there electricity? can you bring space heaters for the cabins? -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:15 8
      - No. None in the cabins. Flashlights only. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:16 7
        
        why do you hate children? -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:18 1
        
        we are teaching them to survive when society collapses! -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:20
        
        what about those hand warmer packs in the sleeping bag? -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 17, 08:17 4
        
        already purchased a CRAP load of those. :) -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:18 3
        
        Hot water bottle! -- nm - mafic Oct 17, 08:22 2
        
        oh, i have one of those. i can dig it out. an old apartment i lived had FREEZING bedrooms. those work. thanks! -- nm* - Andie Oct 17, 08:23 1
        
        Random: One of my very first gifts to Amy was one that had the cutest sheep looking cover. - Spawn Oct 17, 08:33
- yep. a good sleeping pad makes a huge difference. i've camped in snow, it can be fun. the humidity is what is most uncomfortable.. you wake up cold - colin Oct 17, 07:56
- too cold for an air mattress? -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:55 8
  - we don't HAVE air mattresses. just pads. (and just a plain air mattress doesn't insulate, just fyi! You need other stuff.) -- nm* - Andie Oct 17, 07:56 7
    - *lines the tent floor with maxi pads* -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 07:58
    - Do you have one of those slightly air-filled pads, or is it a pad like a yoga mat? -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 07:57 5
      - i don't have one of those self-inflating pads, but one of the other leaders does - she's bringing two. she just messaged. - Andie Oct 17, 08:00 4
        
        Those help a lot. -- nm - CQ Oct 17, 08:02
        
        OK, that's good. (If you didn't have one, you could have borrowed mine) -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 08:01 1
        
        ah, thanks! -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 08:02
        
        nice, hope it helps. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 08:00
- just put a fire in the tent with you to keep warm -- nm - decline Oct 17, 07:55
