WARMTH FOR COLD WINTER NIGHTS-SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

Dougwe · Chief one feather

"Detriot is BELOW a lot of Canada, Sorry mate".

Sure is. Maybe it was a cold night that night biggrin

I have a Truma gas heater. Keeps me warm.

If i'm in a van park with power I use a small oil heater (the ones with fins). The reverse cycle aircon is too noisy.

Just trivia; being smart. To go to Canada (Windsor) from Detroit one goes south. Just a quirk with the river.

1. Get a bigger donna than bed, e.g. double bed get king size donna. Also get a feather down donna they are much better.

2. Make sure partner is well warmed before going to bed, this helps a lot.

3. Night time exercises under sheets/donna add to heat and warmth.

My Husband was beside himself with happiness at your point number 3

Think maybe you've spent too much time in Canada mate. Starting to sound like one....eh?
(Inside joke which will make sense only to someone who's been to Canada)

As an expat Canadian, arrived in 1960.....I can tell you, beware buying Canadian winter clothing for here. On a long past trip I learnt their winter stuff is now often temperature rated. Minus 10 or 20, 30 etc. I made the mistake of buying a Hudson Bay jacket on one trip more to satisfy a long held childhood dream of owning one than anything else. There's been a small handful of times in 10 to 15 years where I could actually use it without passing out from heat exhaustion.

I would suggest, if you have the opportunity, you find some of their Fall, (Autumn) clothing. These are rated to maybe minus 5. Excellent for use here.

Cheers

Hi, just returned from the Flinders Ranges. Freezing at night! We had minus 4 one night. We had a doona, blanket and then a hand knitted wool lined blanket, we wore trackies and socks and at 4-6 am you are still cold. Every time you move the bedding is cold except exactly where you were lying. A beanie is good too if you don't like blankets on your face. I don't really have an answer, but be prepared as best you can. I will be adding a gas or deisel heater before going to that part of the world in winter again. BTW the days were perfect for hiking....18 c

good luck Steve

Would you please describe your "footbox" and how you fasten it. I regularly kick the bottom of the bedding out and the weight of that pulls the rest of the bedding down the bed. There is no room to put a bed end on the bed to hold the blankets etc..
