Shelter up like a squirrel, get out of the wind, get your fire and reflector going. Sit your tin can of water next to the fire and you will be fine.

Find a climashield 0-20 degree bag, and a goretex bivy and you are set.

Eureka bivvy w/ rain fly, drop cloth, stakes, hammer, 1.5 pound Lafuma 40 degree bag, microfleece insert to add a little extra cushion/warmth. Entire sleeping system fits in a day pack. It's not comfortable at freezing temps but is compact and keeps me alive.

LOL!

i got the military modular sleep system.

I was thinking of getting the....wiggy i think its called. But with the US GI sleep system it has 3 bags in 1. So you can mix and match depending on the weather at night.

Bought it new at the gun show for 150 bucks. The only problem I see with the wiggy is that its for cold weather temps. I find it that the US GI gor-tex bag would be perfect for an all weather purpose.

My lightweight system is a Wubbie of my own design, based off the Kirafu Woobie, but smaller, lighter and 10% more insulation. (3.3 oz climashield). One side is OD the other is ultralight ripstop MC and 100% waterproof.

It packs small, and I have used it sleeping in leaves, without a fire down to 22 degrees. Slept like a baby.

Keep moving

 

[jeremy]

Keep moving

But I am tired...

 

[Sailor]

Then you better put down 5 times more ground insulation in your shelter than you think you will need. Eat some peanut butter before crawling in. If you are that tire you will sleep fine. For a short while.

 

[Yeah]

Or a long while.

 

[bwframe]

One way or another, you'll sleep.

Flaunt all your gear like a hooker.....
all right? OK?
You're not going out to shoot everything in sight. That's not good OK.

All those weapons and not even some water purifier tablets?
No mess kit?

Heat is transferred at a speed that is directly related to how dense the material is. Therefore the ground will suck your body heat away faster than when sleeping on a pad. By the same reasoning a bed of thick leaves will allow you to maintain more body heat than just sleeping on the ground. In a pinch I've used a few several newspapers on the ground followed by an army blanket as my ground pad.
But now I'm spoiled and have a very nice thermarest pad to sleep on and it is comfy.

Since we're on this topic

What kind of sleeping bag do you have? (if any)

Please provide Name/brand and price if you can and why you chose that sleeping system.

FYI: If you wrap your ass in a space blanket in below freezing temps you will likely die from frostbite or hypothermia. The blanket does not breath, your body does. It is a reflector of heat, not a bag/wrap you want to sleep in. You will be soaked.

ya I tell anyone who says they'll just a space blanket to try one out first in their backyard first. I'd use one as a temp cover. (Think injured person waiting for medi-vac.
In this weather I use a down filled sleeping bag rated to 15 degrees.

I did it in 1971 in California during winter, 50 degrees, massive fog rolled in, I was in a hammock with a space blanket. It was an Xmas gift from my Dad to go with my survival gear. I was 8 and I wanted to do it. My Dad said go for it but use it as a reflector over you, not a tight wrap.

Did I listen? No. Of course he knew I wouldn't, great, long lasting lesson.
