It hit minus -13 at Fort Knox during a 6 day bivouac. It was not my idea...it was the Army's....:wtf:
I still have nighmares about it. Not so much as the temperature...the Damn wind.

I'm not sure how you guys do it. I've been complaining that it's so cold at 40 degrees here in Cali. Im starting to feel like a city boy;) I bet that snow is pretty. I have not seen the snow for about 8 years. But anyway, i was tagging along on this thread and am glad everything worked out.
Had another 2 inches of snow last night with an ice layer on top-no power loss and all is good- Damn Dutch how did you swing a post at Knox with you being a KY boy to begin with?Quote:

Of course we had some good old KY moonshine to make us think were were warm :D
I think my nordic and cherokee ancestry helped me to handle snow camping back then, plus I was a lot younger and a whole lot wilder then too.
Nowadays I would have to park the truck at the camp site. No more carrying 80 lbs on my back up a mountain, or across a frozen lake for me. My bones just ain't what they use ta be.:pimp:
