Re: [RC] Blackwater Boogie Now cold..........:-) - Truman Prevatt

Folks I've slept in a down sleeping bag in a snow cave in CO in Feb and
was warm. I've slept in uninsulated cabin at the top of Brown's pass at
about 12,000 feet in CO in Feb in my down bad and was very comfy.

If you are cold get a good down bag and as Angie points out a piece of
closed cell foam to lay on and you will be quite warm. People climb Mt.
Everest sleeping in a sleeping bag in a tent, duh - it can be done.

It's not rocket science - the material is out there to keep you warm and
they cost a fraction of a generator, don't pollute the air we breath
keep someone awake at night and I've never heard of a fist fight
breaking out over a noisy down sleeping bad ;-) .

If you "must have heat" a couple deep cycle batteries in parallel will
power your DC furnace all night long.

COMFORTER!  *Much* warmer to sleep with another warm body right next to
you under comforters than even really expensive sleeping bags. (OK, there
was a nother cheapo on top of it but the two of them were WARM!)  Make
sure you put something like an insulite closed cell foam pad underneath
your bed to keep out the cold that comes up from below.
