[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2309015, member: 29323"] I was hunting Barbary Sheep in southern NM in February. Took the wall tent but didn't take the wood stove. Usually shirt sleeve weather during the day and 40 degrees for the low. Got down to -20, and stayed there for 3 days. We didn't have enough propane to run the heater all the time, and the propane stove barely worked. Our water froze, and one of the jugs actually ruptured. I had a commercial coffe dispenser that was slightly insulated, and we could chop the ice and dip water out. It never got above 20 degrees inside the tent. I have a very warm bag I picked up at a yard sale for $20. I was only a little cold in it. We didn't see any sheep. I believe they holed up in the caves in the area. My friends from Montana all had wool clothes (left in Montana) and they went into town and stayed in a motel. I was in Phoenix in June one year when they had a cold snap. It got down to 50 degrees. People were walking around in down jackets. Your body adjusts. It took me several years to adapt back to cooler weather after leaving AZ. A friend that works the oil fields raves about UnderArmor long johns. Best he's ever used. [/QUOTE]
