I don't know how you guys do it. Obviously, the right gear is critical, but even with that....is it fun? 20, 30 below? I guess I'm just having a tough time wrapping my brain around the idea of even going out in those conditions.

I'm used to camping in the high deserts in Southern Calif, along with the Panamint Mountain Range bordering Death Valley ( years ago that is), and I think the coldest I've ever been out overnight was about 25 degrees. I thought that was pretty cold, but that's balmy weather compared to what most of you here have experienced.

Anyway, I'm sure some of you here routinely go out in the dead of winter, and negative 20 and 30 are no big deal. Anyone actually gone out in temps even lower?
