3 weekends in minus temps practicing survival.

That sounded like a good weekend, all good fun, I often do this, I go out with my dogs with minim equipment

There is no disgrace in not getting your bed right, its a very common mistake to make, more cold will come up from the ground than down from above, so that has to be made right,... I tend to put down small twiggy branches, these lift you off the ground and form an area of air between you and the ground, then I add bracken, and top off with moss,.. the `mattress` is about a foot thick by the time I am done
