What's the coldest you've ever camped ou t?

“-28 F”

“-30, at 16,000 feet on Denali. (That's Mt. McKinley for the plain spoken).”

“Big Wave Dave, did you summit Denali? I'd like to hear the story, got any pictures?”

“Yes, I summited. A group of my buddies and I climbed her in 1983. I have not been able to find my photos in about three moves...I think they may still be at my mothers house in Chicago.

Next time you're in SLC, buy me a beer and I'll tell you all about it.”

“Wow, that must have been a trip of a lifetime. I'll buy ya two beers for that story!”

“I think 17 degrees is the lowest for me so far.

Do folks have the same sayings that they have for heat?
" -40 but it's a dry cold "”

“Look Here....

“Wrong thread...”

“HPM has a whole crew of newbie scouts out camping this weekend. No problem with the temps so far, but they kept close proximity to the fire when the thermometer read 20 degrees.”

“10 degrees in a 30 degree TNF Climber 3D bag.”

“okay and I thought 14 degrees was pretty f'en cold.”

“I'm proud to say my coldest I've camped out in is now -19!!”

“Ditto”

“It lookes more impressive if you type it like

minus 19

”

“I think this weekend it got down to -5 or -10.

Nice to sleep in.

“6 for me.”

“....most”

“I thought it was cold 2 weeks ago in the Catskills when he hit a low of 3. That got tossed out the window this past Friday in the Adirondacks when it dropped to minus 17. Well, that got topped the next night at minus 19. I DO NOT want to camp in anything colder than that. Brrrrrrr”

“I'm putting in an order for non-negative temperatures for next year's FYAO. Artex just may have to be muted!
;p

I guess I'm a wimp, cuz I couldn't endure lower than -17. Sigh...what will my friends say? Oh, wait...they all think I'm CRAZY (other than TTers, of course)

muahaahaaahaaaaa”

“TC2 was my coldest. I think it got to 12 or 14.”

“12 and 14??????????

Just kidding.

“Remember, I'm from Alabama. Anything below 32 is cold.”

“Wow come up North for a trip I will take you out in some real cold temps.

8)”

“I'm going to Bama. Too much damn Ooonga Boonga-ing going on up here in the north.”

“Okay, just to appease everyone...

oonga boonga, warm warm warm! oonga boonga, warm warm warm!”

“I'm with you dayhiker. That is by far the coldest I have ever camped out in!”

“YOU FYAOers are frickin' nuts!! That's all there is to it!! We need to study your brain cells! lol”

“Actually when we got up it was a balmy -13

it was a dry cold though, it felt much warmer............

as long as you stood in the fire you were just fine.”

“I like to stay on the warmer side of zero. I want to keep all my appendages in tacked.”

“tact”

“tact”

“"Tact" Got it :)

And who said this website isn't educational...”

“Six of us were at Hoist Lake, Michigan this Saturday night. When Tom S. crawled into his sleeping bag, the temperature on his thermometer had dropped to 10 below zero and was still falling. He thinks it may have bottomed out around 15 below zero.”

“Cold is good!

8)”

“I didn't have a thermometer. Using the alcohol-meter, the wine froze but the brandy didn't.”

“Well I got to zero so far it was amazing...I was actually warm in my 2 sleeping bags..”

“I made it down to 10 degrees (plus) before I came to my senses and realized it was not fun anymore. Now I will not camp out if there is a chance of it dropping below 25.”

“-19, my fleece nutsack quit working around -5. Thank gawd it didn't freeze that way!”

“AmyG - If you can guarantee non-negative temps, I'll come back for another FYAO! Otherwise, SCREW IT.

sirpete - lol!

prosecutor - Hoist Lakes? Why, that's our stomping grounds. Nice place, eh?”

“dayhiker--i hear ya!! im in the heart of dixie and my intermediate sleeping bag keeps me toasty all year. everybody come to the heart of dixie for some good year round campin weather (bring the coveralls so you blend in)”
