Re: Coldest temperature you've ever camped in?

So what are your experiences in gear successes and failures at those low temperatures?

The lowest I have seen personally is about -20 F, and I wasn't camping at the time, I was just playing in the snow. Lowest actual camping temp was probably about zero F, but that has been many years. My stomping grounds now are the Smokies, and it does not get all that cold here. On our "spring break" backpack trip in March this year with my scouts we had 3 days of snow, temp was down to about 20 F. Gotta love the Smokies in March.
