Last winter I camped in the car at sub zero temps in the high country and left the window up.....Pretty much rained inside my car with condensation....Next night I cracked the window next to me and froze my a$$ off but no condensation....Last night on the trip I cracked the front passenger window and it worked a treat...lolQuote:

It could also be good to put potatoes in foil underneath too. Or even Jiffy fire lighters to get the fire going again in the morning.Quote:

You will be warmer in a tent or swag. the only way you would be warm sleeping in a car is to put a big tarp over it............like ..a...tent!!!Quote:

I'm 99% sure Rossco is coming. Timbo was keen but I'm going to say 80%....Still good odds though.Quote:

I've camped above the snow line in sub zero in my little speedy tent a couple of times and it was ok......not perfect but ok.
Insulate from the ground as much as possible.....a good mattress.....good sub zero sleeping bag, thermals, beanie and you're laughing!
I will be bringing my snow tent for comfort......(it's looking more like I will make it).
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Looks like about 50/50 for my attendance now peoples. Not 100% but better than before. Its my daughter 10th birthday and she's having a big one with her friends at our place. I was supposed to help out with dragging all these kids to the skating rink and back and then for a sleep over but the missus saw my utter disappointment when the dates were changed. So she is trying to find someone to come over and help her out. So. If she does, I'll be there with bells on.
I might have a mate with me so we can spoon in my double swag to keep warm. If he doesn't come, Andy your more than welcome to spoon with me baby. Just remember, when its cold, warmth is kept best with no cloths on.... Muwahahahaha!!!
I'll take the ban coz i don't have a swag just swagger ;) !!!Quote:

My neighbour just go back last night and stayed one night in that cabin we stopped in at the Woods Point trip we did... he said there was so much snow and the night they stayed in the cabin in dumped 30cm and they could not get out the way they came in as the tracks were in-passable and had to go the long way round.
Showed me some pics and my god there was tonnes of snow!!!
Holy crap, awesome!!!
