Cold weather camping

[Graz]

Not so much these days but in my younger days certainly had nights in the tent when it got below 0. Typically though in April / May trips so at least it warmed up a bit in the morning. Had a decent sleeping bag and roll mat so generally stayed warm, probably had a few bevvies by the time I zipped myself into the sleeping bag too so that helped

Coldest I've probably ever done was volunteering at work to take a satellite comms system up to Devil's Bridge in Wales so that it could be used to call in stage results for the Rally of Wales. I had two options as the money was a bit tight for the company, either get up really early to drive there in the morning or my option - camp overnight in February. Took two sleeping bags, slept in my mummy bag inside another bigger bag as it was set to hit about -5 to -6 °C overnight. Was fine though

I do that for living, if the night heater breaks, it can be quite tough.

I went camping near Aberdeen in Feb once, after drinking too much I got back in my tent and in the middle of the night woke to find myself not in my sleeping bag and had even forgotten to close the tent door that was chilly. Been camping in snow once, it wasn't the warmest but was fun

I went wild camping in Scotland a few weeks ago, prepared for midges of course... got back home to realize I had ticks on me, never even saw them as three were on my back and one under my armpit.
