I guess it will be Carhart and fleece weather!

I've been thinking about the same thing for January. I've camped in 20 degrees before and been alright but that was with the Jeep and a lot of gear. Me and a friend are plannin on hiking/camping a portion of the AT after we graduate paramedic in December. Any suggestions for hiking in those temps?
Best tips I can give are to use a bivy bag and dress in layers
this will warm you up at night faster than almost anything else (other than a partner in the bag with you hint hint)
Thanks for the tips folks. I will be heading out with my buddy Greg......so no doubling up in the sleeping bag.
Greg might want to be warm to but as I say to each their own Good luck with your cold weather trip.. I am heading out for the night tomorrow into new snow and 18F temps so it will be nice and comfy
Well just got back from a week out in the field for work.
In the military, so not exactly fun camping all the time. I was running a command post for an exercise that week. It was a pretty good go though, hot meals for breakfast and dinner and working out of a heated lsvw. 6 hours on 6 off though.
Only bad thing is it couldn't keep a charge at all...
He will just have to stay cold
Let us know how it goes.
