I recently went camping and it dropped to 27 degrees that night, I was freezing! I had a sleeping bag that was lent to me by my brother and at some point was good for very cold temps, but it must have lost some insulating factor b/c it didn't work to well. I also had a pad under my sleeping bag, but again it was very old (from camping as kids) and I think was mainly meant for comfort, not insulation. AND I used my husbands and I's tent that is a big 6 person tent. So I see several of my dumb mistakes already.
But what would your tips for enjoyable cold weather camping? Right now it's just be car camping. I"m in the southeast, so the 20's is really the coldest it ever gets (and that is pretty rare). I'd love recommendations for gear that will protect me from the cold, but that is also affordable. As for a tent, it can be a 1 or 2 person, b/c I don't know anyone who will come with me cold weather tent camping. Any recommendations for clothing would also be appreciated. Thanks so much!
