Re: Coldest temperature you've ever camped in?

One additional story:

About ten years ago when Minnesota had it's coldest day ever recorded (-70 in Tower, Minnesota), I went outside to walk around for a few minutes in our 57 below zero (ambient air temperataure, not wind chill!) I laughed at myself, because I tried spitting to see if it would crack:-)!

I had remembered reading "To Build A Fire" by Jack London and his main character had done that.

Apparently it has to be even colder than fifty below for that to happen. And I'm guessing, it has to be a certain moisture content in the air and all.

But it was fun trying!
