Last year I was invited for the first time to an annual winter camping/shooting trip that they take in late February. The way they hook it up isn't too bad, and the coldest it got last year was 17 degrees on the second night. It was something like 20 or 21 degrees on the first night. The cool thing was the fire we had going from sun-up until right before we went to bed for the night. There was deadfall all over the place, and one of the guys cut a bunch of firewood from the deadfall as soon as we got there, so if you ever started to feel cold at all, you'd just go stand next to the fire for a while. Daytime temps were mid 40s, but with the sun out the way it was, it felt a lot nicer than that - I was running around in a fleece top during the days.
I enjoyed it. I don't know if I'll get to do it this year because it looks like I'm getting activated as part of the National Guard's response to Hogan's State of Emergency for Covid, so there's a good chance I'll still be on the hook for that when this trip rolls around.
