Winter Camping - Keeping the CT warm
« Reply #26 on: April 23, 2013, 06:32:25 AM »
We have camped a couple of times in 0 and below 0 conditions in the CT.
The best investment was a proper 5 rated winter blanket from Ikea and a second wool blanket on top. Together with a beanie it keep us nice and warm. The kids are all rugged up in fleece, sleeping bag and thick self inflatable mattress.

Last weekend I slept  with he stretcher tent in the blue mountains only with a Aldi " winter" sleeping bag and on Monday I bought a Darche -15 sleeping bag

IF YOU TRY ANYTHING THAT BURNS OXYGEN, MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE WINDWS OPEN. Too much CO2 will kill.

We use waterbottle, 'lecky blanket when really cold but use a small gass heater to warm the CT up in the morning [with windows open a bit] like this.

For me I have my very own Bunyip radiator so have never had an issue with the cold. More than happy to rent him out ;D

We have one of these too, good for warming cold hands, you need to 'rotisserie' in front of them to warm the whole body.

Cheers Marschy.
