>>950035To blow through all the shit people are giving you, homeless dude who's survived the three coldest winters in the last thirty years, and ive got a cheap walmart tent about like OP pic.
A) Four Shipping Pallets under it to keep it off the ground. And thick cardboard panel between that and the tent to provide a sturdier floor. This is insulative in a way too. Might be wise to stuff the edges of the shipping pallets with something to prevent a draft, if its worth the trouble.
B) Foam insulating pad or a small roll out carpet. Got the carpet from walmart for $13 but your mileage may vary. The foam pad is more comfy and portable but its also smaller and more expensive (they go like $25 minimum these days).
C) If you're expecting Snow make a tarp canopy over the top of the tent so that the snow will compact onto the tarp first thus making it easier to brush some of it off and provide clearance for the tent. You want to keep the snow on/around the tent for insulation (its 28F, the temp outside is -10F, one is better than the other).
D) You need 3 cheap 30-50F degree sleeping bags such as the $15 ones from walmart. Unzip them all the way and sleep with them layered on top of you. Sleep along the diagonal length of them for maximum coverage.
> this is better than paying a fuckton of money for a 0F sleeping bag> its like having smooth satin sheetsKeep the ventilation fucking shut all night. Even then its still going to hurt to breathe but you'll be okay. Maybe you should sleep with balaclava on to help with it.
Frost will form on the walls of the tent from your breath condensation, take care to scrape this off or itll make your things wet and frozen later.
Bring a 2 Liter (or 1 gallon) bottle you dont care about tossing away. In the middle of the night when you have to piss you will be thankful that you're only uncovering to piss in your tent into that bottle, rather than going outside and doing it. Piss may freeze in the bottle but oh well it did its job.
