Sleep Out January 31, 2004

To determine what temperatures my winter bag is comfortable sleeping in, I decided to start sleeping
outside on really cold nights. The forecast said this night would get to 10 degrees. I don't think it ever got
below 20 degrees in the tent.  In the morning it was a balmy 30 degrees in the tent when I woke up.  The
thermometer on our front porch said 12 degrees outside.


Here's CJ checking it out .


I don't think CJ expected this. When he came in, I threw an old sleeping bag over him and made him stay.
He didn't seem to happy, but he didn't get cold either. Because it was so warm in the tent, the next time I
do this I will sleep out on the deck without the tent. The bag is rated for 0 degrees and I have a liner that's
supposed to add another 15 degrees. We shall see.
