You can get dew liners for £30 / £40 - if you're lucky enough to find one large enough to fit it. Good for extreme cold conditions.
Winter camping on dartmoor and not a lot of kit? well, it's no different to camping anywhere else. Something to sleep under (tarp / tent) something to sleep in (doss bag & bivi if you want, or wool blankets) will do you for a night. If you find yourself getting cold then make a small fire.
For one nighters I either go full laden with all my gear, or just take a tarp and a blanket. I find, personally, that it's very easy to get a bit carried away (especially if you have a fair bit of gear) and take way too much. Last outing I took my doss bag, blankets, hammock, 2 tarps, 50 foot of 9mm rope, lots of paracord, laplander, 21" folding saw, gb sfa, loads of knives, 2 cook sets and more stuff that never made it out of the bag. What did I use? none of it. Mainly cause I got too drunk to put the hammock & tarp up so I slept under a table instead. But that's besides the point, the point is, you don't need a lot of gear.
