Its not always whats above you that keeps you warm, its what you have under you thats important, cold comes up from below, so my bed was made up of small pine branches, covered with bracken and topped with a think layer of moss,... then a sleeping bag

I also put down bracken for the dogs



The dogs always carry their own share of the weight, I have three Shepherds, here are two of them
