    Spent last night at Snowy creek near Bright , woke up at 2am and had to go out for a pee , noticed the ice crystals on the inside of the camper .
    Outside there was half inch of frost over everything , in the morning all pumps were frozen and a bottle of olive oil in the car had solidified, we got home around 4pm and I grabbed the carton of beer out of the car to chuck a few cans in the fridge and they were still freezing cold .
    Turned fridge off overnight on -3 in the morning when I turned it back on about 11am it read -5 .
    Coldest camping trip ever for us .

    Camping in the winter, is something I try to avoid.
    But, not a bad idea with the right gear at the right place at the right time.
    And gota have alcohol.

    You can't go past a hot water bottle for cold winter camping! Throw it under the blankets half an hour before you jump in and come back to a nice toasty warm bed!
