Binadree Hut this year, nice and cold

[Palmer]

-1 or -2 at Abbotsfield in Tassie's South west would have to pull me up.

[Rumpig]

Nindigully many years ago on an endevour car rally, was minus 4 or minus 5 (forget exactly which it was) the publican told us that morning whilst we were having brekky. Would have done a few similar temps on that trip out West that year.... recall waiting atleast 15 - 20 minutes for the heater to defrost the front windscreen one morning so we could drive off, ice was to thick to scrape from the windscreen that day.

Aratula last year - somewhere between -4 and -6, we went through 8 bags of firewood that night.

[tk421]

Tented it in -5 in the UK. Tent zips froze up with the condensation and we had to melt the ice on the zips with a lighter to get out of the tent.

-4 central highlands QLD last year but we had the luxury of rolling the swag out inside a shed.

Got down to -6 at the farm last weekend...............

-10 rated bag with -10 bag as  a blanket over me in a southern cross swag.
VERY warm and toasty.
It was the 3 o'clock bladder drain that sent a chill through me

Mt Baw Baw - did a snow course with work and had to snow shoe up the hill and camp in igloos/tents - was a bit chilly but no thermometer. My camel back froze solid in my pack.

Similar here - slept on Mt Stirling in the snow in a small tent when cross country skiing. Had a duck down sleeping bag and 2 cheap foam mattresses. Would say I was comfortable but certainly not toasty.

Back country survival course some years ago up at Guthega, no SWAG, snow cave and sleeping bag......F$#%@ing freezing....but got thru....

Years ago I got a bit drunk and may have made a footpath pizza before heading off to bed. Was frosty that night

We did a cross country ski trip in high school on Mt Stirling. Camped in a tent and a borrowed sleeping bag and roasted most of the night. Snowed over night but wouldn't know what the temp was. Getting out of the sleeping bag was the worst part!

[Jason B]

Similar to others around - 11 or 12. Camped at Denison on lake Eucumbene working. Watch stopped, water bottle froze solid, canvas lid on the swag was solid and the zippers frozen shut. We could pick the rope up that was tied to the boat and it was like as stick for about 10 feet.

I don't have a photo but it's etched into my mind.

Chamois and Tahr hunting on Glentanner station near Mt Cook in NZ. 3 guys in a 2 man tent. Plenty of snow, not sure on temp. Middle of winter.

A work mate just got back 3 weeks ago - he couldn't have his hands out of his sleeping bag to hold his book in the tent!

I slept in the back of my commodore ute in fiordland national park mid winter.
Drove down there and back in the day the petrol station was open for 5 mins every hour on the hour and shut at 5.05 until 9 am the following day.
One of the least enjoyable moments of my life. I just slept in my clothes... no sleepingbag

-4 right now at Bathurst.
not used to that!!!!
