Re: [RC] Cold Weather Camping!! - Jon . LindermanI have slept in a stock trailer on several occasiosn w/white stuff floating outside. I load up on sleeping bags over my sleeping pad to keep me warm from underneath & sleep with a beanie, turtle neck, fleece tights and thick wool socks. I have used the little propane heaters but the trade off is that they hiss kinda loud. I also found that if you sleep on the traielr floor and extra pillow helps to keep your head more like it would be say at home in a nice comfy bed & I sleep better. In a pinch I've used a toklat fleece saddle pad doubled in half with a t-shirt over it when I forgot the extra pillow. another ploy is to chummy up to someone who has a trailer with a big enough tack room for you to sleep in. BRW booze and choclate help in the latter ploy Jon To: Ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx From: Tshuck64@xxxxxxx Sent by: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 10/25/2004 11:35AM Subject: [RC] Cold Weather Camping!! Hey I got such great reply's on my "cold weather riding" post I thought I would pick your brains about the camping aspect. This is my first ride season and I went on 2 great rides this summer "Chief Paulina and Headwaters" and I slept in the back of my ford expedition. This wasn't so bad, the weather was good and I stayed nice and warm. I want to attend the Dust Devil ride up by Bend on the 13th and I am such a weeny I think I will freeze sleeping in the car. What does everyone do? I know there are others like me who sleep in horse trailers or canopies how do you stay warm??? I really want to attend this ride, I have heard its a blast but I dont know if I will be able to stay warm!!! Thanks, Tammy in So. Oregon were it was 17 chilly degrees this morning!
