there's no shadows because of the camera flash, the shadows are directly behind everyone such that they can't be seen from the camera's angle

Nerdchick All American 37009 Posts user info edit post |
well it wasn't raining, we didn't really need the tarp! and we did use it the 1st night
btw XTNE I heard you and Matt didn't have sleeping pads ... that's why you were so cold!! 10/22/2007 6:24:45 PM |
ambrosia1231 eeeeeeeeeevil 76471 Posts user info edit post |
nah, that's why we weren't so cold.
We were so goddamn cold because matt swore up and down those sleeping bags would be adequate, and wouldn't let me bring any other blankets.
Being on the ground wasn't the problem in the least. It was all the radiated heat. I was putting towels, extra clothes, pillows - anything I could use to retain heat - on top of the sleeping bag. Slept in jeans, three shirts, and a jacket.
...But he's the one who wound up with acute bronchitis. I was just tired for a day or two. I suspect he'll listen to me next time.

XSMP All American 16674 Posts user info edit post |
no sleeping mats is* the reason you were cold - you lose a lot of body warmth by laying straight on the ground, versus even a 1 inch pad. insulating yourself from the ground is imperative to retaining body heat, don't you ever watch survivor man, GOD!!1 ]] 10/22/2007 6:45:08 PM |

Nerdchick All American 37009 Posts user info edit post |
btw XSMP and Nerdchick are CORRECT about the sleeping pad!! you lose just as much heat to the ground as to the air!
even the most fanatical ultralight backpackers use a sleeping pad in cold weather. for realz a foam thermarest is like $20 and will increase your comfort dramatically. 10/22/2007 7:03:12 PM |
ambrosia1231 eeeeeeeeeevil 76471 Posts user info edit post |
Eh.
If yall say so.
The only parts of my body that were warm were those I was laying on. I understand who the ground will steal your warmth, but you'll have a hard time selling to me that it was the ground causing the majority of my problems when my bottom half was relatively toasty (warm to the touch, even), while the skin on the top of my body was damn cold.

it's pretty hard to camp outside in this time of year without another person in the sleeping bag with you. I went a couple of weeks ago- fucking freezing by myself - i had on long johns under my jeans and lord knows like 5 shirts- killer socks and was very chilly still. 10/22/2007 7:11:14 PM |

...I actually wanna go again. Would probably be going this weekend if zorthage didn't have bronchitis.
There was something masochistically gratifying about rolling out of bed at 30F at 8am, bundled up like a mummy, and getting a fire going just to get warm and have some hot chocolate. Fuck breakfast. Some tea or hot chocolate is where it's at.
...Points if you have someone else doing that while you get the first trip to the bathroom
^definitely doing the hot water bottle business next time.

you also had too much on
we were always told to sleep with little on. it works. ive tried to sleep with my clothes on instead of ... lets say...thermal style underwear ... and froze....ive slept in a bag with nothing but a clean, dry shirt and long johns and been warm and snug as a bug in a rug.
and the ground pad does work wonders...i always try to have a mat or something to put under my bag.10/25/2007 12:08:09 PM |

I always thought that the important thing
was to wear clothing like wool or polypropylene that wicks sweat from your skin
rather than clothing like cotton or cotton blends that hold sweat next to your skin 10/26/2007 9:37:06 AM |

well, from spending about a decade being involved with the boy scouts i can tell you from an assload of camping experience...and winter camping for that matter that is indeed true.

When the only source of moisture is from respiration, that's not a concern.

Wool actually sucks at wicking (it swells instead); it's a good coldweather fiber because it puts off a small amount of heat as it dries.
For synthetics, once you've crossed a certain threshold, shape of the fiber matters more than the fiber itself.
It basically boils down to not being adequately prepared, and we paid the price, but won't make the same mistakes again]10/26/2007 9:41:50 AM |
