This was at 0800 and the sun had burned off some of the heavy frost. Had a Mr. Buddy going full bore and still could see my breath on my side of the tent. I am taking an extra 20 lb. tank. Ain't no way I want to run out in the middle of the week. Next week should be fun if the weather forecasts hold up. Try and insulate the tent some. Unroll the tents front entrance cover over the top. Put a sleeping bag over the top, tarp it. Create any kind of insulation and wind break you can. Get the back of the tent right up next to or under some of the juniper. Park your vehicle in a direction to act as a wind break, and stake off a tarp in the direction of the wind to act as a wind break. Get creative. I have been in that same tent in that same unit, on a late hunt. 1 buddy heater will keep the bitter chill out when it was 15* and the wind was blowing, but it wasn't warm. Make sure to have a CO detector in the tent with you though, especially if you start tapping the tent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
